We had a wonderful meal as we always do. The owner, Raj, waited on us, and he was very polite and attentive. The vegetable samosa is a great starter for getting one ready for the next courses. My companion and I are good eaters and love taking food home, so we order up. We had Rice Pillau, Garlic Naan, Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Madras, Shrimp Vindaloo and Chana Marsala. It was all perfect and nicely-portioned. We also enjoyed Taj, Kingfisher, Flying Horse and two other fine beers. Every other guest enjoyed the nice buffet and was satisfied upon departing. Don't bother with the nonsense you may encounter at Shalimar, the Taj Palace is the best Indian food on the Central Coast, period.

Had lunch here today! Wonderful food. Buffet is the best! Lots of choices and everything is freshly made. PERFECT!
