Taj Mahal

Bland and un-​authentic. I enjoyed the little spice sauces that accompanied the meal. Other than that the spot was uninspired. No hundred foot journey here. The most authentic part of the experience was the feeling the next day in the bathroom

Terrible. Wish there was a 0 stars option. Maybe it’s cause I’m Indian and this food appeals to others but just terrible.
The samosas were unidentifiable…
The sauce in the butter chicken was just a watery substance with suspiciously perfect cubes of chicken…
The chicken curry was flavorless and tough with an equally terrible sauce.
Maybe ordering off the menu and not having the lunch buffet is better. I don’t know but I doubt it.

i used to go to Taj Mahal occasionally as a special treat. It’s a bit pricey by my unreasonable standards, but delicious. The atmosphere, roomy and just formal enough to communicate a little indulgence, is perfect for catching up with an old friend or giving someone a dinner out.
The last time I ordered my favorite, saag paneer. I couldn’t finish it. Home it went, into the refrigerator. The next morning it was completely solid. Then I realized why it tasted so good. But vegetables in a broth of pure butter isn’t the kind of fuel I put in my tank.

Our party of 13 was served promptly and with wonderfully attentive service. Appetizers of vegetable samosas and veggie pakora arrived quickly with the Taj salads. All were tasty and the salad, more of an Indian cole slaw, unexpectedly tasted better than it appeared.
We shared a variety of dishes family style. Saag paneer, chicken tiki masala, lamb boti kabob, shrimp tandoori and vegetarian dishes which were all very good! We had enough food for leftovers for lunch the next day!
The staff prepared a beautiful sample of desserts for the table, with our favorite being a sweet mango ice cream wedge. The chai was a little overly sweet, but nonetheless delicious.

Fast delivery, the time I tried it. Small servings with biggish prices, and have had cold food served a couple times, or food missing listed ingredients. When we went in, rather than getting delivery, the portions may have been a little larger, and the service was friendly enough.
We are much closer to them than to the Indian restaurant further south, so since we can walk here they are probably our go-​to for Indian here in town, except when we cook it at home.
Glad they are there, and I don’t want to sound too negative – I will definitely end up eating there again at some point!

It was a little too expensive for this small portions. Too many potatoes in my dish. The flavor was mediocre. Asked for hot but was not hot at all.

Updating my review because this is, unfortunately, the best indian food in Fort Collins. It’s still not amazing, and they have a couple dishes, like their channa masala, that just plain suck. But compared to the other options in town this places rocks.
At the end of the day their korma is passable and the Naan is tasty so until I migrate back to a bigger city I will happily embrace the Taj Mahal as my indian restaurant of choice in Fort Collins.

If I could give it zero stars I would. The server was rude and reluctant to answer questions. My lamb that I ordered was undercooked to the point of it being completely raw. The food was bland and boring. Their «hot» was comparable to most restaurants mild. If you want good Indian food pass this place up and try my personal favorite the star of India over on Harvard.

This review is only based off of their lunch buffet special from the last two times I’ve been here. What a disappointment! I LOVE Indian food but each time I’ve been lately, always taking a new person with me to introduce them to the wonders of Indian cuisine, we’ve left wholly unsatisfied.
The last time I went the biggest issue was that although over a full hour into the buffet lunch time hours, the food was warmish, at best. Some things were partially cold, indicating that rather than anything being made fresh, it was simply reheated from the freezer or what have you. Besides that, the food was not even that great. The Chix Kormas was bland, the rice too dry and no flavor at all, and the traditional Naan bread was over baked, being almost crispy. The best dish? The spinach Saag, but even that was rather too oily, ruined by the fact that is was barely warm.
On top of all this, the server was aloof, even cold, and no one else in the back bothered to smile or make you feel welcome or appreciated for giving them your business. The restaurant did not seem that clean — even the utensils had stains on them where we all felt we had to polish off our knives and forks before using them.
TVs presenting modern Indian pseudo hip-​hop Michael Jackson crotch grabbing dance move videos didn’t exactly make us feel like we were part of the usually wonderful Indian restaurant experience either. I missed having the traditional Indian sitar driven music and if you’re going to have music at all, don’t amp it up so much that I feel like I’m in a sports bar!
VERY disappointed. Not worth the money we paid. In fact, after three not-​so-​great experiences here I doubt I will ever go there again, let alone take anyone else as each time, my guest has sworn off of ever trying Indian again, and these people love ethnic foods of all sorts. In fact, this last time ALL three of us were sick! Too bad as I used to love the Taj Mahal. Their quality has definitely declined over the years from when they first opened and seemed to take pride in their offering. Now it feels like a «can’t be bothered/​taking people for granted» marginal effort.

Not fancy but quality Indian food. Buffet did not have too many choices but everything we had was tasty. They ran out of naan while we were there. Cost was about $ 10 for all you can eat. Restroom outside restaurant space… have to take a key down the hall to get into it. Crazy indian music videos on tv adds to the cultural experience.

The fact that this is the only Indian restaurant in the Fort is quite unfortunate because this place is horrible. The flavor palate is bland and nothing resembling of the true flavors of Indian cuisine. What’s more, we found a hair in our food; their response, «thank you.» !!!

It should be noted that I only did delivery!
Pros:
Lots of great vegetarian options.
Rice is delicious
Paneer is really well-​made
Very filling
Nice delivery guy
Cons:
Portions are small for the price
Delivery took 1 hour
Food is a bit oversalted
Food could use a bit more flavor
I’m interested to go inside and experience non-​delivery.

The Taj Mahal is a fitting name for a restaurant that is a jewel and gathering place in Ft. Collins. The food is great and the service is wonderful. Whether you are dining in or taking out the experience is great. They also have an incredible lunch buffet. There are many traditional offerings in vegetarian or meat options. Any dish can be made vegetarian which is a plus. The curries are flavorful and deep in aroma and spices. The byrannis are great and they also have kebabs, rices, naan bread, and other authentic Indian cuisine. They also have a full bar for those interested in libations.
My go to dish is the Saag Paneer wish Garlic Naan bread. I have never had better Saag Paneer than here. My wife lived in the UK and we’ve traveled all over the world and we always compare the Saag to here. I also love the Chicken Korma and on a hot day a mango lassi is sure to cool you off.
The restaurant is well appointed and in an ideal location in the heart of Old Town. Service is fast and the food is fresh and amazing.

The place is cold! The prices are average for a night out in Fort Collins and I visited here during a weekend trip to the campus. The restaurant is clean and has a more dressy atmosphere, but could easily be a casual lunch place as well.

Service: very good and very friendly. Made excellent recommendations.
Food: good. We had the chicken ticca masala, lamb korma, and garlic naan (2 people) and it was very tasty. Only Indian place I have been to in ft. Collins so far, but it was my second time there and I would go back.
Atmosphere: decent (but it’s the same at every Indian place I go to) lights are a little too bright for our liking, but there many people there and the noise level was good (not too lively, but not dead either).
I would definitely go back for a third time!

Yuck. Ordered delivery last night and it was horrible. All of the tiny to go containers were leaking all over, the naan was so floppy and greasy it was near inedible, the dishes tasted like catsup and the sauce was the consistency of water. I will never eat here again.

Unfortunately, this is the worst Indian food I’ve ever had. The food is bland and greasy. The vegetable dishes are 70% oily sauce, 30% vegetables. On top of that, the servings are small but expensive. I hope other Indian food restaurants will start delivering to compete with this one.

Amazing. I can’t believe the mouth sex I just had there. I wish I could tell you what I had but I don’t remember.

We got the chicken korma and lamb vindaloo and cheese naan. The korma and vindaloo were great but the cheese naan wasn’t too cheesy, more like garlic naan. I’d recommend this place though. Bollywood clips of movies playing on the TVs too.

Taj Mahal has fantastic Indian food and is my favorite in Fort Collins. I have been coming here for years because of my love affair with their sag paneer. I recently got carry out and did plain sag with 2 orders of naan and rice. The smell coming out of that little paper bag was almost too much for me to focus on driving safely home.
When I got home I eagerly ate half the saag and rice. Creamy, spicy with the perfect blend of spices, I was really happy. The naan I handed off to the hubs which I couldn’t believe he waited until the next day to eat but he ate it all.
The next day I polished off my leftovers and they were almost as good. Saag is definitely better eaten the same day but it helped continue the happy juices flowing 24 hours later.
