"On this occasion. The food was really nice, as it has been in the past, although there was one dish that a friend had, that typically comes out sizzling, but here it did not, which was disappointing... but still tasted good, I was told. The colours changing lights are a little disturbing. Especially when they go a shade of blue, makes the food look a little unpleasant. Service was not terrible, but there is room to improve (it was fairly busy, but not heaving). One of my party asked for no coriander in anything, that was a fail. And on the bill the drinks are all lumped together as All Drinks , and ours allegedly came to over £40, which for a soft drink for four people seemed a little ott. So we challenged, and then we 're told we 'd had this and that, including cokes, which none of us had. So there was a little confusion there. But they did fix the drinks bill and gave us a shot of something or other each on the house, which was very tasty indeed. So that was very nice of them. Minor niggles, overall, would definitely recommend."

The food is never a let down at the Taj and even when they have a full house, they are attentive and prompt.

Food was disgusting. Curry's were watery with absolutely no flavour, all the naan's were burnt with no flavour once again. The only thing that was ok was the bahjis but they were tiny and basic for what you pay. Considering the cost of it all it was atrocious. I'd give 0 stars if I could. Service: Delivery Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30

Had a fantastic out of this world family meal here with 5 of us. We had the veggie Jalfrazi, Dansak and Balti that were off the scale for freshness and flavor, mushrooms in coriander and bombay aloo really really tasty, peshawar nan really sweet complementing the hot curry mix that with their special fried rice and its just awesome. The fish eaters had the butterfly prawns and it soon disappeared it was that good. Fast friendly service excellent place to dine and a really great selection of beverages too wash it down. I have to say I wasn't expecting much but I was really delighted when all the dishes we had well exceeded our expectations and then some. Really great value for money too. What...

"I feel a bit bad about writing this, but for the first time ever there 's only 1 star and probably the longest comments I 've left. We arrived around 12:15 on a September Thursday after having a walk hungry, we fancied a pub lunch. Staff were pleasant if a bit rushed the young lady behind the bar was on her own and doing the best she could. Several things were off the menu, but we ordered a Curry of the day (Thai Green on this occasion) and sausage mash with gravy. Difficult things to screw up... After a reasonable wait, two small dishes appeared. The Thai Curry was tiny, containing a few small bits of grilled chicken in a fairly anaemic sauce, with a small amount of plain white rice on the side; the two sausages were quite small and on a small bed of mash surrounded by gravy. Both dishes were stone cold. We sent them back. Frankly, if we hadn 't paid in advance, I 'd have left at that point. A few minutes later they re appeared, along with a small dish of sweet chilli sauce and 3 small prawn crackers, two of which were not properly cooked (still solid in parts, i.e. not cooked hot or long enough). The sausages were now hot, the mash lukewarm and the gravy cloying and still pretty cold. Being fair, the very small sausages were quite tasty, but the mash was under/not seasoned and the gravy had little flavour, no onion or anything even vaguely interesting, and was still cold. The curry was a disgrace. The rice was flaccid and tasteless, the curry had almost no flavour and the chicken was watery, and pretty grim (tasteless too). Tiny portion as well. We left the curry. I did eat the sausage mash as I was really hungry, but in retrospect wished I hadn 't. I almost never leave food anywhere in the world, but I left that curry. I 'm not sure how dishes that bad could be let out of any kitchen. We complained to the waitress (who was doing her best) she asked us not to leave and a minute or two later refunded our main courses with an apology. I felt for her as she was doing her best as front of house when the kitchen was a shocker. Note that we didn 't ask for a refund or even hint, they just provided it. I 've never asked for a refund. It 's sad, as these days rural pubs need to do things right, but this wasn 't just small things; everything they could have done wrong with those two dishes they did wrong. Nothing cooked from fresh, nothing checked before leaving the kitchen, tasteless food, tiny portions, cold."
