Reviews of Taaj Indian Restaurant & Takeaway in Nelson

g. g.

Ordered buttered chicken and beef korma with rice and garlic naan and it was really delicious. Affordable. Must try Indian food in Nelson!

J. F. B.

Great food. Good lunch specials

D. K.

Came in for the $12.99 lunch. Rice and meat/sauce were delicious but the naan was crispy/crunchy and broke/ flaked when bent. Kids were happy and loved the smoothie. The place is much bigger inside than it looks. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Represents good value with a main, rice, 1/2 naan and soft drink Would have been a 5 star review with a softer less cooked naan.

J. H.

Definitely my favourite Indian Restaurant in Nelson. My personal favourites are the Lamb Saagwala, Chicken Madras and Goat Curry. Awesome service and always top food!

D. F.

Awesome lunch deal 12.99 for a curry, naan, rice and a drink. Such good value, and delicious!

C. C.

Best Indian experience in Nelson. So happy I found this place. Staff are amazingly friendly and the food is out of this world. I take away often but when they persuade me to eat in I am always swept away by the freshest flavours and most wonderful drink acompliments.

A.

Authentic Indian food , good service and ambiance. Enjoyed the seafood n veg dishes. Must try while in Nelson. Must try their Indian Tea too .

D. L.

Thank you so much My daughter and I enjoyed our delicious lunch. It is always a pleasure coming to Taaj. My daughter wanted to say thank you for making her experience a great one she loved her butter chicken and Raspberry clouds. She is wanting to have her birthday dinner her next time 🥰

M. W.

Had a butter chicken and my wife had mango chicken. Both were very sweet. I couldn't finish mine due to the sugar but wasn't too bad in the mango chicken. Staff were friendly and the restaurant is tidy. Only reason I won't be back is the sweetness of the food that disguises all the flavours it should have.

M.

Awesome food, very friendly serving staff... must visit in Nelson

Amazing food and great price. Had the takeaway first to start with, loved it. Now coming every week for dining in. The pista and mango kulfi is a must try, tastes awesome.

C.

Great food, service and prices. Will happily be back!

J. N.

The dinner we had here tonight cannot be recommended highly enough - these were the best curries I have ever had in Nelson, and I've had quite a few! Well balanced flavours and apsolutely delicious. Keep up the good work and big thanks to Arun and Lucky and all the team there.

P. C.

Fabulous food. Best Indian food I've had in NZ. TBF my taste buds may have been ruined by 25 years in the UK, but everything here was tasty - from the onion bahji to the goat curry. Happy to recommend and return

M.

Food was awesome and very friendly and good service

P. B.

One of the best Indian restaurants we've been to - the flavours in the curries were complex and well balanced, the naan was surprisingly light, and the starters platter was delicious. They accommodated my son's cashew allergy and service was friendly. Don't miss this place!

M. L.

Had heard great reviews so we thought would grab a takeaway n try it out. Phone order process went smoothly but we were told 20 minutes, duly arrived to be told another 12 mins which turned into another 20, so we should hv been told at least 40mins at order. Was rather disappointed with the food with the mild not so mild but did like the price and surrounding were nice & appeared clean. Hoping this was a rare off night.

T.

Always great takeaway every time we visit Nelson we always stop in here

A.

So far the best indian restaurant we've been too both food AND service wise. Lovely staff, really good value and they are extremely good at serving top quality food!!!

a. c.

Everything about Taaj is brilliant. Food is delicious, staff is friendly and professional. They deserve 10 /10 rating. Highly recommend summer juice range with food😊

p.

Excellent customer service and delicious food. Worth to visit.

A.

The lunch deals are really worth the buck! Tandoori chicken so worth it too 🍗

K. C.

Very yummy. Excellent service. Nice clean restaurant. Really pleasant meal.

N. P.

Food and service is just superb!! 👌🏻 recommended for a great dinner out and hope to return back again soon!

A. I.

Amazing food and delicious menu. Had Authentic Indian style goat curry and a chef special chicken curry. Host and ambiance is a good banter. Will recommend to everyone who love kiwi Indian and spicier authentic Indian food to visit this restaurant while in Nelson.

E.

Nice foodbit I think there must be new owners Didn't seem as friendly

H. C.

My partner was craving for some spicy Indian meal last night and I remembered his cousin mentioning about Taaj so I asked if we can try it, it was indeed a good find but there was an error in our orders like my papadoms became chicken tikka appetiser(big serving!) which is nice but i still want my papadoms. Their onion Bhaji's were crispy and yummy. My mistake was I didnt chase my papadoms order been busy eating the onion bhajis! Chicken Tikka Masala average and we just ate Chicken Tikka for appetiser! Biryani w/ mutton was nice . Nothing spectacular about the dishes but they are better than average. The servings are big that our main meals ended up being takeaways and they packed it nicely. I will recommend the place for a nice meal out just ask them to read your orders again.

S. B.

Love the food and the people here. The taste is awesome and the staff makes u feel welcomed with their smile 🙂 and service.

s. f.

Great service, great takeaways, 3 sisters seafood curry delicious. Up there with the best in Nelson. My advice, go for the more adventurous dishes, the chefs have some unique flavours.

A.

Excellent food, very family friendly and very welcoming and fast serving staff! Would always recommend if you're on the look for a good and authentic Indian dish! :)

J.

Excellent food and service. Thanks to the team. Really appreciate it

C. V.

I have not had the pleasure of dining in as such , but the take away service deserves a 5 star rating . The food deserves a Michelin star by any of my measure . On a serious note . I have been here several times in the last four weeks and not once have I been disappointed . Generous portions for takeaway made to your heat preference and excellent friendly service . This has got to be my favourite go to place in Nelson .

N. P.

Very authentic taste same like home, but far from home. Really appreciate that they considering the need of the customers and gives twist to the recepie as per the customer like. I strongly recommend to grab their service as anyone can get it.

V. S.

Very nice food, very stuning staff, We went yesterday in the group of 6 people and one child, really enjoyed alot. Your all state branch has amazing feedback Really appreciate it guys. I recommend to all try one time taj india restaurant food. Regards Vijay

A. t.

Authentic Indian food with plenty of Veg and Non veg options.....Great customer service and very friendly staff...always greeting with a smile.....Salmon tika, Manchurian (veg) my favorites. New Pistachio Kulfi tastes great too....compliments to the Chief.

S. D.

Excellent food taste, reasonable price for lunch. Perfect quantity of food for the lunch. We had Pista Kulfi in dessert as it was a hot day, loved it. Customer service was excellent, felt welcome. Nice hindi music in the background, not too loud. Very good lunch experience. It's close to the beach. Toilets are cleaned.

R.

Excellent. Great service and food

J. P.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. I go there often and some of the dishes are just great, my favorite is the Vindaloo which can be ordered not too hot. I give it 5 stars because most of the food there is really good. Sometimes the quality is not consistent which can be disappointing, maybe they can improve that. Service is sometimes slow depending on who is working that night, that can also be improved on. But overall I am very happy with that restaurant. They have Stoke beer on tap now as well, another plus.

V.

Very nice Indian food close by to where we were staying. Wasn’t expecting it to be this delicious. I recommend the fenugreek chicken dish which was the chefs speciality. Will come back when in the area again.

A.

They won me over with their fresh fruit juice! The food was great too and the service super friendly. Will definitely be back.

N. K.

Really nice and yummy food. Geetanjali was very friendly and gave us really good service. Will definitely go again.

R.

Awesome food... Great customer service... After a long drive from Ashburton, we really enjoyed a tasty food.. Highly recommended....

n. s.

Great food and service. This is the first time we visited an Indian restaurant ( Australia and NZ), where we could actually feel the taste. First Indian restaurant where our 6 year old liked the curries. Thank you guys. Great work and keep up the good service.

J.

Great curry! Would def have again.

L. A.

As always, a wonderful experience. Great food, delivered timely, and lovely atmosphere and service, always a favourite restaurant to visit

M. W.

The butter chicken is to die for!! So creamy, so flavourful and the chicken is perfectly cooked. 10/10 would recommend :)

J. R.

Had the best dining in experience! The service was fantastic, the food is devine and amazingly affordable. I would highly recommend. 😍❤️

K. L.

Excellent every time we have been.. great food, quick service.. great price. Can't complain

P.

One of the best customer service I experienced in New Zealand. Great food and value for money. Highly recommended...

C. G. (.

A place to go when you feel like you should be treated like royalty. The service and attitude of the staff is nothing less than 5 star quality. The food is equally good. Amazing flavours and aromas. From the outside you would think that this may be a small cramped place but walk inside and its a completely different building! Just try it. Seriously, dine in. You WILL NOT regret it!

D.

Lovely food at great prices. Rice included with main dishes. Friendly staff, highly recommended

D. P.

My favorite Indian restaurant in Nelson region Delicious Food + Great Customer Service (Specially genuine smile of Ankush) for reasonable prices. Must recommend their Manchurian. Best part of their main course is tandoori roti.

M.

Awesome food and really nice service. Highly recommended...

B. D.

Always enjoy the tasty offerings at Taaj and the generous helping in their meals. Great friendly service is always appreciated!

D. S.

Hi, we had ordered vegetarian food for 30people for our Diwali Function. Food was delicious and specially Dal Makhani was superb. Kadai Paneer was also lovely. I would definitely recommend Taaj for food. Arun(Manager) and entire staff were prompt. I will give 5 on 5 for everything - food, taste, service, quality and of course rate.

J. F.

A restaurant in Nelson that serves, food that can tickle your taste ...it’s difficult to find a restaurant that can match the Indian food they serve. The samosas are more like the ones you find in Mumbai second to none. Taaj you guys are more like home far from home 😊

M. L.

We had driven from ChCh for a funeral and had 30min only to spare for lunch. My wife selected the $12 lunch special, chicken korma and I selected a entree, onion bhaji. Both were on our table within 5min and tasted delicious.

S. M.

We loved our meal here. The staff were really friendly and the food fantastic. We ordered the specials on the menu in hot-yes they were hot but you could still taste all the flavours. Very extensive menu and they also offer take away which seemed to be very busy. Highly recommended.

D. A.

Excellent service and an excellent meal. Our favourite place to dine and will be yours too.

A. M.

Second time in town and my second visit to Taaj for takeaway. Nice folk, delicious food. Great heat on my palaak panner and yummy yummy garlic naan.

y.

Really Delicious food 😋. One of the best I had in NZ. Do try Butter chicken Indian style and lamb chops.

k.

This is a fun place! Lots of interesting dishes, helpful staff for those who are unfamiliar with Indian cuisine. Children are well catered for as well.

P.

Food is amazing and the staff is really supportive as well. Well trained with excellent service. Cheers guys

T. H. D.

Got home and found that they had forgot a butter chicken from my order, rang them up and after asking me what my order was they straight away said, yeah sure come back now or would you prefer a voucher? I said I'll come back now, they said it would be ready by the time I got there, I arrive and there was a container of rice and papadoms as an apology. This is the only time I have a problem from the Taaj in 3years and the followed through with goods immediately! Taaj is the best Indian Kai in Nelson

C.

Never had such good Indo-Chinese food in NZ. Love the food, staff and the service. Definitely recommend. 5 stars to Arun Kumar, manager.

B.

We had the dal thadka and kadhai chicken at the restaurant. We highly recommend it both dishes were delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Brian & Louella

M.

Lovely place, good feel and great food. Very authentic and lovely owners too!

H. K.

Great food and very friendly staff. All the dishes had authentic flavours.

J. T.

I buy from here at least once a month, although I like the food every order, I find there isn’t consistency. Always order butter chicken - sometimes it’s tomatoey, sometimes creamy, sometimes runny and sometimes thick. They have got my order wrong twice. The food is nice though and I will still buy from here.

P. G.

This place is great! Made me a dish I ordered on phone that wasn't on menu. When I went to collect and checked menu was worried. Buy they made it anyway! Super delicious chana masala. Good price and good amount. Dinner and lunch the next day.

M. P.

Excellent service, liked the food. Freshly baked naan and crunchy roti are top class. Loved daal tadka with rice, awesome. Fresh cooked chicken tikka is plus. Affordable price too.

K.

chilli paneer only had chillis no flavor

정.

I’ve ordered butter chicken and garlic nan and it’s my second time having the same order. Absolutely delicious and highly recommended!! 😍

a.

Great food, excellent service and Friendly staff, highly recommend :)

D.

Yummy food and very welcoming staff. Had food from here two nights in a row - no regrets. Highly recommended

P.

Great service and food. Must try

M. S.

Had an amazing meal there with my friend the ordering felt a lot like a takeaways place but once I pointed out that we wanted to dine in pay an extra six dollars we sat at our table and the waitress poured us water. The meal itself was great, awesome taste and great sized portions, the pricing was fairly standard. Ill be returning here again even as a takeaway option.

P.

Delicious food and wonderful service

R.

It was a great experience to dine in with friends to gather and to share different tastes that belongs to our culture .Thank you

M. S.

This restaurant is by far the best Indian I've ever had. I've eaten a lot of them. Worth moving to Nelson for. I've been twice in three days whilst here and both times our meals were superb. I am currently suffering a over eating curry coma but happy

Y. S.

It's the best indian food I have in new Zealand. I recommend everyone to have here once and the rest will be your story.

L.

One of the better Indian food restaurant. Eat in or takeaway. Friendly staffs. Great food and competitively priced. If you like Indian food, you must try this place.

N.

We have tried different Indian restaurants throughout Nelson, Tasman, Westcoast, and Christchurch. Nothing compares to Taaj!! They are so welcoming... that they let us get our own table. Food is 95%... I feel that presentation has gone down hill a bit. But the taste is always perfect for me. Taaj Wil always be our Indian Restaurant!!

d.

Great food, 2 days in row we had the same food for dinner. Perfect meal and great customer service.

H. M.

Awesome food and lovely staff.

M. P.

Food is very Nice and delicious. Also, here mango lassi was awesome and i would like to suggest everyone to taste one time in life.

T. L.

More than 30+ times dinning in or take away, Really like this Indian restaurant, love the tandoori chicken here which makes me feel like back to India trip. The service here is also top level, staff always with big smile and always service right when you need some help. Please keep the high level as always.

b.

Absolutely amazing food for a reasonable price. Friendly staff.

h.

Highly recommend The Taaj Indian restaurant in Tahunanui Drive, Nelson for dining and takeaway food. The MacKenzie Country and always enjoy the

U. S.

The place to have a food in Tasman region. Best place to try Authentic Indian food. Staff is very friendly. Best are timings, they are open also when others starts to shut down.

J. H.

We are always very pleased with our experience here at Taaj. We celebrated a family members birthday over lunch today. All the food was delicious. There’s a children’s menu and high chairs as well. I Highly recommend this place for those who love a good curry.

I.

If you are in search of authentic Indian food your search will end here. Food place people and ambience every thing is Awesome...

Not many vegetarian options in lunch menu. Our order all over was OK although almost not spicy when we asked for medium. Very disappointed with small portions, the amount of carry was usual, but naan and rice was a single portion splitted with two of us. I never before left Indian restaurant so hungry.
