Neha Khisty
Delicious Indian food at this restaurant. We had Shahi Paneer and Chicken Tikka Masala and they both were amazing. Portion sizes were also good. Servers are very friendly. Their mango lassi is also worth the try. Overall really good place to stop by on road trip of US-1.

The food was pretty good… I was bummed they didn’t have tofu . Bit the Taj Mahal beer was great! One guy waiting tables in the whole restaurant… Which was mostly filled with South Asians. Very authentic feel.

Food was amazing, very light and non-oily. They also catered to our Jain dietary needs. Jain Chana masala and Jain Dal Tharka were amazing. We definitely recommend.

Unfortunately I don’t think there are any *great* Indian restaurants in SLO (I’m comparing them to restaurants in SoCal and the Bay Area, plus homemade food from my Indian friend), but we do go there occasionally to get our Indian food fix. Probably our favorite thing is the Samosa appetizer, which is super tasty with the two accompanying sauces. We recently ordered chicken tikka, one of my favorite dishes, and it was extremely dry. I can’t say whether it was merely overcooked, but it actually made me wonder if it was reheated leftovers from their buffet. It reminded me of reheated leftovers at home. I love that at home, but I don’t expect to feel like I’m eating that in a restaurant. Lastly the service is always mediocre. Not horrible, definitely not great, slightly below average, and not particularly friendly.

Really bad service. Owner seemed drunk and had rude demeanor. Restaurant is not clean. The only reason we came back here was because this was the only Indian restaurant in pismo beach area. Food is 3/5

The food is THE best. Atmosphere is nothing to holler about, parking is easy… but the food is GREAT, and Raj (host) is awesome. Has never messed up our order.
