penguin and the chef
Hell’s Kitchen prices, less than gas station quality. Worst Indian food ever! We paid almost $80 for minimal foods wrapped sloppily in aluminum foil. Too cheap to even use containers (except specific cheap items), even though their prices are through the roof!. I ordered chicken tikka masala and paid $16.99. I got a very small container with only 8 bite sized chicken pieces. Tasted like someone threw a little chicken in a can of tomato soup diluted with milk and so bland. My husband ordered the Chef’s choice grilled platter and (as seen in picture), was loosely wrapped in foil and only had a few pieces of battered, bite-sized chicken, a samosa, a potato patty, and a small piece of paneer. The Naan bread was $5.99 for one piece and it tasted day old. The dessert (white liquid and 2 tiny cheese balls) was $4.99 and disgusting. Awful texture and no cardamom taste whatsoever. Unbelievable. I would have canceled my payment if I had checked out the bag before I left. If you go there, check your food before you leave, but only go there if you have money to throw away on a very small amount of tasteless food. You would think, with the money they rip off from people, they could afford to clean up the building. Paint chipping off, weeds growing. Would pay to travel a bit further for cheaper and real authentic-tasting food. Only good I could say is the mango Lassi was nice, but it was also $5 for a small Styrofoam cup. I will NEVER order from here again. If you go down the list of reviews, you will see most negative reviews have the same type of complaints. Oh, and watch your credit card charges too. Rant over!

I’m in Terre Haute for 10 days and trying out most of the restaurants in town. This is my favorite Indian/Punjabi restaurant. My food was absolutely delicious. My food was temperature hot and spicy as i wanted. Service was good ! I will be visiting here again !

Being a Indian found the quality of the food utterly disgusting and service even worse. The owner of the restaurant lies n is reluctant to change the order if not served right. The restaurant right down the road called ‘the Kasthamandap grill’ serves both Indian and Nepali has more authentic Indian cuisine and custom makes your food upon order.

This was our first time eating here. The service was quick and friendly! Our server was happy to give each of us suggestions after talking a bit with us. Suggestions were spot on! We all loved our lunch and spice level. I cannot wait to go back. We ordered more Garlic Naan to go. 🙂

The worst Indian food I’ve had at a restaurant. The Tandoori chicken was given a Chinese flavor for some reason and was sweet. The paneer curry had no flavor. The chicken biryani was bland and chicken was dry. Definitely was not worth the money.

I have never had a bad experience at the Taj mahal. We’ve done there many times during the years My child was at college, and we even hired them to cater her graduation party dinner. Excellent traditional Indian food, fantastic service, and great people
