About this business

Located on the second floor of a "unique" looking mini-mall, this sleek spot is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The casual atmosphere is perfect for quiet dates or meals with friends. All the traditional Indian dishes one would expect from a curry house are on the large menu, and they're all prepared fresh and with attention to detail. Ask for a mild dish and you'll get exactly what you want. The lamb is tender and available in a variety of sauces. There's a small, friendly-priced wine list, and several excellent Ind... read more

Sensational Indian Cusine – That's right - RUN to TAJ MAHAL. Located on Ventura in Encino, Taj Mahal gives everyone an exceptional taste of India. The Chicken Biryani is to die for. The Chicken Tikka is my personal favorite. The service is terrific. The owner, Menjit, is lovely. You leave Happy and Healthy, not to mention filled up and satisfied. Best Indian place in town..hands down!!!!

Best Indian Restaurant on the West Coast – Both my wife and I grew up in India and have lived in the Los Angeles area for 15 years. We also travel throughout the US. We have yet to find a North Indian restaurant that can beat the quality of their vegetarian and chicken dishes anywhere in the US, let alone in the greater Los Angeles area. The food is authentic and they can cater to your taste individually with the right amount of spices. They have been able to maintain their quality largely because it is a small family-run re... read more

Top Pick for Indian Food! Consistently the best Indian food around! Taj Mahal is like a little oasis of comfort on Ventura Blvd. The food is fresh and delicious, and the portions are generous. The service is excellent, and best of all - the prices are reasonable! It's great for both vegetarians and meat-eaters. (I eat meat but a lot of my friends are vegetarian, and we're always happy going to the Taj). The Aloo Gobi is perfect - not greasy like at some of the other Indian places around town. For vegetarian also try the Saag... read more

Taj Mahal rocks! – I've been in the Valley for ages and I can't believe some people don't know about this place. I almost don't want to tell any more people about it, because everyone I take here becomes a regular. I'm a picky eater but everything I've tried on the menu has been delicious. They have an excellent lunch buffet, with all the trimmings. They used to be closed on Monday nights but I just found out they are open seven nights a week now - (sometimes a delicious warm meal takes the edge off the beginning of the work... read more

Best Indian food in the Valley! – I have been eating at Taj Mahal at least a couple of times a month for over 5 years and they have never disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious, the portions are generous and the lunch buffet always has a well-balanced selection for vegetarians and omnivores. If you're in the Valley and in a hurry for lunch, you can put together your own buffet plate to go. For lunch or dinner try the aloo chat (I haven't found this anywhere else in the Valley), sag paneer or lamb korma. If you're a sa... read more
