Family owned.. Authentic Indian cuisine in Albuquerque. Delicious food! The service was excellent! EVERYONE helps We had our server, but at one point the owner/manager came and checked up on the table and refilled my child's cup, his wife came later and removed the plates; that kind of environment. The PERFECT getaway from burritos and tacos. ;))
The staff are always so kind and considerate! The most delicious chai I have ever had, and they refill it constantly! The buffet is wonderful, a lot of staples on the buffet with a few that change so there is always a good variety. My nine year old loves it, though curry is not her favorite, she can always find something to eat!
A favorite place to brunch with my son, John, for the loads of tasty vegan options at their buffet. Always excellent service and delicious, tasty food.
Faithful Indian fare for the American palate. Honestly, for sub-continent joints that aren't totally vegetarian, I can recite every menu item from memory. All your faves are here, and were all very well prepared. And frankly, my family loves it all. A few things to mention: meats were very generous for our entrees; service was friendlier, and less formal, than many similar Indian places I've been to on this continent; and, their Kingfisher beer was very fresh (think about it--it has to go half way around the world). If you are a Naan lover, their Bread Basket for $7.99 was a nice cross-section of all their offerings, and plenty for your dinner party. Satisfaction guaranteed for this Maharaja, here...
This is one of my favorite places to indulge. Butter chicken is awesome and the spicy tandoori is too. My wife loves the rice pudding dessert. Go for the buffet. Tasty!!
Currently the best Indian food in Albuquerque (without a doubt).
Best indian Cuisine in ABQ (Complete Turnaround). When we first started coming here the food was really good and the service was decent. For awhile the service went downhill fast but since they now have a new owner/management, the place is excellent. Their buffet selection is ridiculously awesome and the servers are all very friendly and attentive. This place surpassed Taj Mahal for best Indian cuisine in Albuquerque in my book.

Excellent since new owner took over. I've been visiting this restaurant since 2007. My visits have become much more frequent since the owner and the chefs changed recently. These days this restaurant easily has the best Indian food in Albuquerque. I've spoken to their chefs several times and they take pride and show extra interest in their dishes.
Admittedly I've only tried their buffets (both lunch and dinner) but they are excellent! The food is not very spicy. They offer a wide variety of veg and non-veg dishes. The dishes are "well-matched", meaning the bhaturas are always served with chhole, the dosas with sambhar, the rice with a daal or kadhi, etc. They have three kinds of tandoori chicken (regular, spicy, and halal)! Their butter chicken and goat curry are worth trying. They have one of the best arrays of salads, condiments, and desserts I've seen in an Albuquerque Indian restaurant. Besides great gulab jamuns they also have a fruit chaat for the health conscious. Other desserts include carrot halwa, rasmalai, a barfi or laddoo depending on the chef's mood.
The rooms are bright (lunch time) and the decor adequate. They have a third room for hosting larger parties. Service is unobtrusive and polite. The owners are generous: I prefer rotis over naans and they have no problem bringing that out for me at no extra charge (unlike at Rasoi). They had a great Valentine's Day special two days ago where they offered wine for $1/glass! Also, they seem to be able to order for you things Indian (like special kitchenware or spices or even musical instruments)!
The food was delicious and very fresh. My favorite was Tikka Masala! The Mongo Lassi was superb! The Mongo Cheesecake was also to die for. I Would recommend this restaurant very highly!
A neighborhood favorite.. I go to this little restaurant as often as I can for dinner. Their buffet is excellent and has some of the best tandoori chicken around. They offer all the traditional favorites, including vegetarian options, such as paneer dishes. THe interior is cozy and elegant and the staff friendly and courteous. I updated this after the new owners took over to say that it is still one of my favorites.
Very good delivery is by an unafiliated 3rd party. He was very polite naan was awesome delicious and smoky. Purchased the dinner for two
Was a bit spendy but nothing extraordinary. Great food. Lamb was god. Shrimp would have benefited from a diferent prep for delivery. They were cold.
YUMMY!!!. My husband and I used to go to Taaj Palace or get takeout a lot. We heard they were under new management and the food wasn't as good as it used to be. This couldn't be further from the truth. They are under new management, but the food is DELICIOUS! It's even better than before with even more choices. I loved all of the vegetarian choices. My favorite was the Gobi Manchurian, but my husband loved the Mushroom mutter makhani. I tried a little bit of everything and was so full I thought I would burst. We will definitely be back!
Very consistent. The butter chicken is one of my favorites as well as the potato samosas. I always eat a lot of the vegetarian options even though I’m fine eating meat because they taste really good. My son is a big fan of the garlic naan. Nice selection of chutneys too. I always like a little mango custard or rice pudding for dessert.
Authentic, vibrant, and unlike any other –Albuquerque is a dream destination for lovers of food, culture and exciting activities.
During our winter road trip from Plano, Texas to Page, Arizona, we got an opportunity to experience the taste of Taaj Palace.

Quick launch, good quality buffet food.
I was lucky to get unsweetened masala tea here. Love the place.
We visited with a large group this past Saturday. I made reservations for after our wedding ceremony in Rio Rancho, but we ended up being very late. The gentleman I spoke with was so professional, welcoming and gracious. The food was amazing. Thank you for having us, we wish you many years of success!

This place is absolutely amazing. I can not say enough. We can in about an hour before closing and they were so attentive and nice. The food was delicious and fresh, and everything was just incredible. The desserts were warm and just the right about of sweet.

Delicious lunch! I felt as though I was indulging in some of the world’s best delicacies. I love sweets so the carrot pudding and gulag jamun were especially my favorite. Oh, I had seconds!! I almost forgot to mention the garlic naan and butter chicken 👌👌👌
We love this place. My husband and I go there regularly with our two kids. Their food is some of the best Indian food in town. Highly recommend. We especially love that it's buffet all day long.
Delicious buffet filled with fresh home cooked traditional Indian dishes. Plenty of Vegan options as well as meat dishes. Also plenty of savory sauces and deserts. Fast, friendly service.
