I absolutely love Taj of Marin! The customer service is just wondeful, waiters are so kind and attentive. I love their vegetarian options. Many to choose from with a fantastic taste. They also offer lunch buffet with affordable prices. Definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our trip to the Taj for their lunch buffet. The buffet included chai tea and hot, fresh buttery naan bread. But in addition, we also received a cheese filled, gluten-free dosa! Buffets allows you to try many items, pace your meal as you like while socializing but many have disappeared since the pandemic, so the Taj is a good place to go with a group of friends. A public parking structure is also available right behind the restaurant.

This is the best tasting Indian Restuarant in Marin, hands down. It’s a buffet at lunch also. I don’t know how they make the fish it does…..delicious. I eat there at least once a week.

The aromas are the first thing that you notice when walking into this place. The warmth and spices simply invite you in. I highly recommend both the vegetarian and meat entrees and appetizers.
