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

I love your food! Taj Mahal is my favorite restaurant. I especially enjoy the chicken Tikka Masala - hot. Great service too. I've eaten chicken Tikka Masala in many parts of the world (even Uzbekistan). Yours is the best!
Yum! Surprising find in Encino. – So glad I found Taj Mahal?I went for lunch last week after a meeting and it was soooo good. Their lunch is a very reasonably priced all you can eat buffet. My server said they rotate the dishes so you don?t always have the same items and on Sundays they have a champagne brunch (ahhh, reminds me of vegas). Here are the menu items I remember: Potato & cabbage, rice, chicken in curry, spinach & cheese, Tandoori chicken, salad, Indian dessert (fried dough in sweet syrup), mint chutney and yogurt... read more
Great food but terrible customer service – They have great food but terrible service, both in the restaurant and for delivery. The manager is mean. Tonight we waited 1 hour, 50 minutes for the food to be delivered. When we called to ask about it after an hour of waiting, we were lied to and told that it was on its way. We called when the food got here to ask if we could pay part of the bill, since the food was barely warm. The manager yelled at us as if it was our fault they were too busy for the staff on hand.
Terrible! – Oily and Salty! Not a hint of spice! Definitely not what you want when you're looking for Indian food! On top of it, the prices are ridiculously high for what you get. Typical for an Encino restaurant that wants to make the douchey locals feel good about themselves by tricking them into thinking that expensive equals quality.
Best of Encino – I've been going to Taj Mahal since it opened almost 15 years ago. There's lots to recommend about this place. First, the food is always good. I've had Indian food in assorted places around the U.S. and in several countries in Europe. Indian food in the U.S. is often watered down. Not so here. The flavors are strong and full. Second, I've not seen the spotty service that is mentioned here. I've seen busy nights at Taj, but never bad service. In fact unlike many Indian restaurants they actually SERVE the food ... read more
Go somewhere else! – I don't know who would go back this place. The weitress is mean and rude, food is nothing special. I would never never go back this restaurant again!
Decent Food but Terrible Service – I have to agree that the food is not spectacular but it has kept me going back in a scary sort of way, until now. I've been a regular at this family-owned restaurant for over 7 years, and one would imagine a business-owner to be a little more gracious to their regular patrons, but the husband (owner) has always been extremely rude (I think that is just his personality since he seems that way with all the diners) and the wife just pretends to be polite. My husband is very quick to pick up on... read more
The Best Indian Food in the Valley – Try the Sea Bass barbequed on a stick. The chicken marsala is great too! All the vegetables dishes and curries are delicious. This is a family run business. Not romantic, just good food, and not expensive at all!
Food was ok – FFood was above average; however the ambience felt more like a school cafeteria. Service could have been friendlier as well.
