I hesitated to give this place four stars. The food as always was excellent but this time, my carton was only two thirds full and very little sauce. I also ordered 90 minutes in advance but nevertheless had to wait about ten minutes for it to be ready when I arrived to pick it up. Seven p.m. on a Monday is not a peak time so I'm not really sure what the hold up was.

Here we go. Don’t let its humble, tucked away location put you off. Taj Cuisine does not follow the “all trousers and no pants” precedent of many Indian restaurants. This is the real deal. The accolades that litter its walls aren’t there by accident. Service is accurate, attentive and perceptive. The owner made me feel welcomed and ensured my needs were met by checking in throughout the course of my visit. Surroundings are comfortable and very much like that of regular Indian restaurants. What is different is the dishes. They are exciting, dramatic, looking and tasting absolutely beautiful. My main course was edging towards fine dining given its presentation and quality. This is one of the best Indian restaurants in Kent, class in a Chatham retail estate glass.

Really nice. Restaurant is clean and stylish. Nice atmosphere and nice staff. Food was really tasty. All fresh and whilst they don't have a separate vegetarian menu as such they can make any dish vegetarian. Really liked it here. Staff were quick to clean away things at the table, so quick that at times we weren't finished with it and they were taking it away, but really no complaints :)

Absolutely fantastic service, couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The food was to die for, and the presentation was fab too. Even as a large group out for a work meal, the staff were so enthusiastic to help out and made sure our experience was top notch. Would highly recommend!

A very special treat Food quality and service both outstanding

We loved our dinner here and went for the chef's specials which featurw unusual dishes with a taste of the old moghul india, mixing delicate spices, fruits and sauces with giant prawns or succulent lamb or chicken and pairing them with lemon or lime rices or the like. All this, as well as the wide and proficient range of more familiar dishes. We had the Zanga golda prawns and Shemali lamb, beautifully composed meals, with a side of delicious sag paneer. Thank you chef (Kamal tonight) and all the courteous staff. Nice ambience, convenient parking, byo wine.

Lovely staff, great atmosphere and delicious food what more could you want!

Used to be good, not anymore. First of all when I booked they didn’t tell me they have lost their alcohol license. Had to go to coop over road to buy some beers. Asked for a naan with starter and they refused. No reason given, just told no. I found this bizarre and told the waiter but didn’t make a fuss. Then ordered a madras which I have ordered there for years and what they gave me was equivalent to a phal in terms of heat. Had two bits and had to leave the rest and had hiccups for 3 hours afterwards. Not sure if this was to spite me for asking for a naan with my starter, maybe I offended them by asking. Who knows. What a sorry state this once renowned restaurant has become. Half empty at 8pm on a Friday night says it all really. If you’re going to charge a premium price maybe don’t offer a basement level service. Will never return. What a shame.

First time ordering. Can say its absolutely gorgeous. Lamb curry meat was good quality and not at all chewy. Kurma, pilau rice and bombay aloo is full of flavour. Naan bread and papadum were also fresh and delicious. Will definitely be ordering again and also dine in. Jade & Brandon

Absolutely shocking .. Took our order and we waited 3 hours .. currently still waiting ... I won't order from here again .. called 3 times and they hang up on us .. Didn't really want the rubbish so probably done me a favour in the long run

We felt rushed with our meal I didn't finish my starters and the waiter was persistent to clear the table. We was not finished with the main meal but waiter was just hanging around my table and kept asking every 2 minutes if we have finished eating. I felt rushed through out the evening and uncomfortable with waiters around us as they kept looking to clear the table. The prawn curry was like water...no taste. The best thing was the naans, very soft and fresh.

Had a fabulous meal last night for a birthday celebration. 10/10 for food and Service. Bringing your own alcohol was even better 👌 well done to all staff.

Last minute decision, excellent waiting staff, glad they squeezed us in last week . Food was just lovely

What a fantastic restaurant. Staff are friendly, atmosphere is great and most importantly the food is incredible. The only negative is that they don’t currently hold a license to serve alcoholic beverages, although glassware and wine coolers are provided should you wish to bring your own alcoholic drinks. Definitely worth a visit for a great Indian meal.

Restaurant is clean and tidy. Service is average. Dishes and main course is very costly compared to same kind of restaurant and you get cheaper option and same taste from other restaurant. We order 2 chicken curry and 2 type nan and 2 type rice. Garlic Nan and special fried rice was taste nice. Coconut rice have Coconut and toomuch sugar just like dessert 🍨. And Chill Nan it's name like lot of chilli 🌶. That's the difference and very costly. And very very less quantity.

Nice staff and good service. Food was hot and freshly prepared. You can really taste the fresh ingredients. We enjoyed every mouthful, nothing was left over. We will definitely be back again.

So, can't complain about the food, it was actually quite nice. The service was very poor. The waiters were constantly hovering, trying to take our food away before we'd even finished. When not standing by our table, they were all stood at their counter watching us. We were being rushed out of the door, they emptied every table around us of cutlery etc, and took the warm towel away before we'd even opened it...it was about 7:30pm, if that. All in all, a very unpleasant experience. Probably the first time ever that iv not left a tip

Tried it again tonight after it went downhill a few years ago. We had takeaway, sadly very disappointed. The madras tasted of strong ginger and was extremely watery and the chicken was very tough. The mushroom rice was very, very greasey. The other dishes were mediocre at best. Definately will not be returning.

This is my first time here, and the food wasn’t great, I had chicken biriani and Bombay pots, the dishes had excessive oil and was so bland, no real flavour and biriani was like a blended soup, very poor. I have had better from the supermarket. The restaurant looks very nice but the takeaway was terrible.

Booked table for 6.30 didnt get our mains until 7.15 then when we asked for a coffee at 8 PM was told we will have to hurry cause the table was booked for another party at 8.30 dont mind only having 2hrs for table but serve our mains earlier then

Went here last night for my cousins 19th birthday and I have never experienced such poor customer service in my entire life. As someone who works in hospitality, if I behaved like the waiters did last night I would probably get the sack. First of all, we had our 2 year old with us in which the restaurant was not impressed at. They didn’t have high chairs or a nappy change facility. When I asked if they did they replied ‘No, we have never come across someone asking this before’, which I don’t believe for a second. Reluctantly I had to change my little boy on the chair. The whole time we were having our meal they were staring at our table, huddled at the bar in a circle talking & generally seemed eager for us to leave the whole time we was there. Food took over an hour to come out. When they brought out the food the plates were scorching hot in which they did not worn us about. Over all waiters made us feel very uncomfortable. When we left I forgot about the nappy sack on the chair in which one of the waiters gave to me and said take it home. I refused and asked them to put it in the bin here. Could write so much more about the bad service. Food was nice until me and my partner woke up during the night with belly aches. Will never be returning.

Ordered via just eat where it states that delivery time is between 50-65 mins. I place my order at 8pm so delivey by 9.05pm. once I had paid they changed time to 9.45. I called Taj directly to query the time to be greeted very rudely being told its not their problem nothing they can do I either wait for delivery or cancel. But if I cancel I won't get a refund. He the goes on to say why am I even complaining my food isn't even due yet so what was my problem!!! I wasn't even complaining that it was late just querying the delivery time. I have used Taj for many years but I will not be going there again after this experience very disappointed

Fantastic and authentic. Award winning Indian chef. Fresh ingredients used, plenty of parking space
