Taj Mahal Restaurant & Event Center

Becca Reviews a month ago

Taj Mahal in Lancaster delivers exceptional Indian cuisine paired with warm, attentive service. The dosa appetizer is an absolute standout—thin, perfectly crisp, and packed with incredible flavor. Both the chicken tikka masala and the Goan chicken are sensational, offering a rich, creamy balance on one hand and vibrant, complex spices on the other. Paired with light, fluffy basmati rice that soaks up every drop of sauce, it easily stands out as a top-tier spot.

I would give them five stars because I have been a long time, loyal customer and have taken many friends there over the years. But I and a friend both got food poisoning from their buffet. I usually order off the menu and like the food when it comes out hot and fresh, but recently I met a friend for lunch and we opted for the buffet. Big mistake. Another friend of mine had a similar experience there and was violently ill after eating from their food buffet. A third time a friend got a plate of food from the buffet and it was barely warm and made her feel uneasy, so she sent that plate back and decided to order off the menu instead. Since I have never had any issues with their menu items, I'm going to continue to go there, but never touch the buffet food.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. From the moment I walked in, the staff were unfriendly, unprofessional, and rude. It felt like customers were more of an inconvenience than guests. Simple questions were met with attitude, and there was very little effort to provide good service. The food was even more disappointing. The BBQ had a strong bitter taste, as if it had been overcooked, burned, or prepared with poor-quality ingredients. The meat was dry, lacked flavor, and was far from fresh. Several items tasted unpleasant, and I could barely finish my meal. The restaurant itself did not leave a good impression either. Combined with the poor service and terrible food quality, the entire experience was frustrating and a complete waste of money. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for good BBQ or decent customer service. There are many better options available. I definitely will not be returning, and I strongly suggest others think twice before visiting. Avoid this place if you value good food, respectful service, and a pleasant dining experience.

If you’re in Lancaster and craving authentic Indian flavors, Taj Mahal Restaurant is an absolute gem 🙌 From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish is rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and feels like a true taste of India. The chicken tikka masala was creamy and packed with flavor, the garlic naan was fresh and soft, and the variety of curries offered something for everyone—from mild to bold spice lovers. What really stood out was the consistency and care in every bite. You can tell they don’t just cook food—they create an experience. Whether you’re going with family, friends, or even for a casual business meal, this place delivers both quality and comfort. Highly recommended if you want authentic taste, great service, and a satisfying dining experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #LancasterPA #IndianFood #TajMahalRestaurant #FoodieFind #AuthenticFlavors #Support

A flavorful chicken with a little kick of spice. I ordered chicken tikka that had fresh herbs like onions with a lemon as well to enhance the taste. The chicken had a savory taste, and the texture was tender and juicy. You can tell that the chicken had been marinated for a long amount of time. It was seasoned with many different spices that can be recognized. The fresh herbs added to the taste and brightened the dish because they added a freshness and depth that enhanced the flavor of the chicken tikka. It was served on a sizzling hot pan, which brought out the colors and aroma. The chicken had a vibrant orange color that made the dish look even more appetizing. It had a mild spicy flavor to it. Chicken tikka has its roots in India, specifically associated with the Mughal dynasty. Mughal cooks were known for making marinades and using tandoors, which are clay ovens, and the chicken I ordered was also cooked in one. “Tikka” means pieces or chunks of chicken, and it was made to be cut into small pieces without bones to avoid choking, but it soon became popular throughout India and many other places. Tikka is essentially marinated chicken pieces cooked in a tandoor. It is a classic In
