Taj Mahal in Breda centrum

Incomprehensible (missing) service, no one asks if you want another drink or anything afterwards. The waiter stands at the cash register and never looks your way, so you just have to go to the counter yourself to pay. Dirty surroundings (see photos). The food was average, certainly nothing special. A Madras is supposed to be hot, by the way.

We ate there once and it was certainly good. A warning to anyone wanting to order: Don't do it, because the portions are very small and the price is absurdly high for what you get. At the average Chinese restaurant, you would get four times as much for the same money for a better meal.

I found it to be an excellent Indian restaurant with delicious food. The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was very good. For those interested, there was background music with old Bollywood songs. The music was not too loud, making it pleasant to listen to. I would recommend anyone visiting or living in Breda to go to the Taj Mahal restaurant for dinner.

What a taste explosion this was. First time here. Heard various stories, so went in with mixed feelings. We were greeted by a very sweet gentleman who walked us through the entire menu and also gave us recommendations. We followed his advice and didn't regret it for a second. Highly recommended!

This used to be a favorite place for home delivery of mine. Unfortunately, I've already had 3 orders in a short time where something is missing (usually when you order extra naan). Furthermore, the quality of the chicken tikka masala and the naan, among other things, has become extremely inconsistent. Hopefully, they will quickly regain their old quality and service (today I even had to wait almost 2 hours for delivery).

Best Indian food in town! Super friendly people, great prices, super tasty food! My favorite: Chicken Biryani. Taj Mahal is 100% recommended. (Review is based on eating at the restaurant/ordering over 10 times)

Food very good. Decor and furniture very dated. I understand that due to a takeover, a renovation is going to take place and new furniture will be arriving. For now: fine food and friendly service.

Best butter chicken of my entire life

Can someone please explain to me which idiot cooked Tikka Masala here and so rudely threw a boiled egg into it?! This is truly disgusting of the highest order to ruin a dish like this. This is already the SECOND time this has happened when I order from your restaurant. Absolutely unacceptable.

Butter chicken is served as sweeter than Gulab Jamon.

I came with my family, five people in total: four adults and a nine-year-old girl. The food was good, clearly with different dishes to suit different tastes, but it was acceptable. It's in the city center and easy to get to. The service is a bit slow, but that's understandable given the large menu and the variety of dishes they have to prepare. Otherwise, I think a remodel would be great to create a different atmosphere.

This restaurant has apparently been around for 37 years and I used to come here regularly, but I think the last time was 20 years ago. The exterior could use a bit more attention to the appearance (set the tables or something), because for a moment I thought the restaurant was closed. I don't think the decor has changed and my chair was a bit rickety (but that might be due to my build), but the service is still very friendly and attentive. A cold Indian beer was recommended and tasted good with dinner. The two main courses with rice and garlic naan were really delicious again, so I will definitely be coming back more often, even if I have to drive a bit to do so.

I ordered Chicken Mussallam with garlic naan. Trust me when I say this, I am an Indian guy, born, brought up in different parts of India for the first 32 years of my life. Nowhere have I ever tasted food this worse. To all the Dutch people in all honesty, this is nowhere remotely close to any type of Indian food (India is a diverse country, we have at least 30 types of distinct cuisines significantly different from each other). To the restaurant: Please make some efforts, at least make the naan yourself

Had a super delicious meal and good, fast service! The only thing is, the restaurant really needs to be cleaned up; it was messy.

Had delicious Indian food, the best in Breda.

Eaten there 3 times and they have delicious curries!!

Everything was simply top-notch! 🤩 From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately felt the warm, cozy atmosphere. The food was truly delicious 🍛🔥 – everything fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly prepared with care. You can just taste that they know what they are doing here. The portions were also more than sufficient, so definitely good value for money. The service was also excellent 👌 The staff was attentive, quick, and always smiling. They checked regularly to see if everything was to our liking without being intrusive – a perfect balance. The atmosphere tops it all off ✨ Beautifully decorated, clean, and cozy – ideal for a dinner with both family and friends. Great value for money 💯 Definitely a place I would happily return to. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy a good meal in a pleasant setting! 🙌

Amazingly tasting food, so much delicate spiced varieties in the dishes that i would like to give 5.5 stars for the food. Veggy ? You're in for a surprise... in contrast to most common type restaurants, they offer a vegetarian delight, the 'Gandhi Menu' living up to its name, a tasteful nod to the Mahatma. They offer a wide variety of Indian dishes, currys, and chutneys from the northern and southern Indian kitchens, often Muslim styled with chicken and lamb. Service is quick friendly and very polite, sometimes a bit sluggish.. once they forgot the spoon while serving a soup :) but thats not a regular thing. It's a mostly quiet ambience with soft Indian style background music fitting the atmosphere. Also have daily takeaway and delivery

Food is delicious but delivery service is very slow. Over 2 hours from ordering to actual arrival at our home. While promise was 1 hour on the website

Delicious food, lots of choice.

It's been a long time since I've been here. The appetizer was still just as I remembered—delicious! Friendly staff.

Excellent Indian food with friendly staff, while the decor is dated the food makes up for this they do get busy so the service slows at those times.

Always good quality food and friendly service.

The food was fantastic. The service was what you'd expect in a restaurant. Few restaurants can deliver that anymore. Everything was fantastic. The atmosphere was great, delicious, and authentic. A gem of Indian cuisine.

Wow, a perfect example of a hidden gem! We've lived near this restaurant for four years, but had never eaten here—until today. What a cozy atmosphere with an extensive menu (especially fantastic for vegetarians). The service is outstanding, something you rarely see these days. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We'll definitely be back :).

Good food and drinks, though considerably less tasty than when the previous owner and chef were still there. Service is good but not very fast, and sometimes there's some difficulty with Dutch. The restaurant is suitable for vegetarians as well as meat eaters. Beef is also on the menu. Unfortunately, parking in front of the restaurant is not possible. The entrance is not wheelchair accessible.

Very pleasent experience in this restaurant! Loved the paneer with coconut and the sauces were amazing. Mango Lassi for 3.25€ was phenomenal

frankly nothing to say everything was excellent from the bread to the dessert, despite the language barrier, the service was impeccable

Very unhygienic atmosphere. Smelly and unorganised place.

The worst Indian restaurant I have ever tasted in my life. The food is very bad, the colors and shapes are tasteless, and the worst thing is that the chicken breast tasted like sugar, and they put boiled eggs in it. The amount was literally two small pieces of chicken, and the rest was boiled eggs and vegetables. The waiter said that the Dutch like it. Okay, we came to an Indian restaurant. We want Indian food, not Indian and Dutch food.

It should radiate some coziness. It is not now, but it was delicious

My family and I had dinner at this restaurant tonight .. Exceptional service and genuine hospitality! The staff made us feel so welcome and their attention to detail really elevated the dining experience. Fantastic food !!! The flavors were authentic and every dish was cooked to perfection.

Tikka chicken, looked like a neon light and was very tasteless. Butter chicken, yuk. Lamb madras, mediocre. The jalfrezi was ok. The raita... what was that? Tastes like cotton candy. The rice... well, it still could have been better. First and last time for Indian food.

Not where you want to go for real authentic Indian. Tikka chicken, fluorescent sauce that tastes like nothing. Butter chicken, yuk. Lamb madras, meh. Jalfrezi was ok. Raita that tastes like candy floss. Garic nan was good!

Delicious food, positively surprised, highly recommended!

Very nice food which is not overly spiced. Meat were tender and service was great! Most authentic Indian food you can get in Breda !

Have food delivered. Very tasty food. The rice and naan fantastic. The two main courses also top

Very good food for a fair price

Binnenkomst: een hier en daar beetje versleten ogende inrichting. Wel onmiddellijk welkom geheten door de zeer verkouden eigenaar; uiteraard heel onverstandig en bijna een reden om rechtsomkeert te maken. Anderen namen gelukkig de bediening over. De menukaart is erg uitgebreid. Te uitgebreid: of de bediening of de kok weet dan blijkbaar niet meer wie wat precies heeft besteld en welke ingrediënten er bij horen. Het niet-bestelde gerecht toch aangenomen, opdat we allemaal konden gaan eten. Goed eten. Verse gerechten, mals vlees en smaakvolle sausen - al is dat laatste soms wat overvloedig. Al met al goed gegeten voor een goede prijs. De keuken verdient een frissere aankleding.

ONLY HALF ...OR ONE a poppodom ?? Really ?? how riculous...are they rationed. ? No mixed pickles Whole place has gone worse every year.... Curry base sause is given to customers ..telling them it's Dal soup..or muligarwany. Soup ...what bullshiit oplicters The best cooks are gone..now it's just idiot lazy clowns.. every meal is a little warm. Better series in India

I have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years. The restaurant itself is a little outdated but the food is still good and reasonably priced

Food was quite okay but the restaurant is only 1 star, dirty, filthy tablecloth with stains, everything is dirty (cobwebs, dirty carpet, worn chairs that don't sit for a meter), waiter in sweatpants. Filthy toilet. In need of renovation and a major cleaning.

The food was nice but the service was anything but friendly, got our order wrong, seemed annoyed to be called over… oh well, I’m in no rush to go back there…

Super food, really tasty. The Biriani is of a high standard.

I ordered food via their own site and asked if they could bring it at half past six. However, at 6 o'clock the food was still not there. So I called and only then did they prepare and deliver the food, which was more than 1.5 hours later. Unfortunately, this has happened before. I won't order from here again.

Vriendelijke ontvangst en bediening. Zeer uitgebreide kaart met heerlijke gerechten in allerlei soorten en smaken. Last but not least zeer betaalbaar, dat maak je niet zo vaak meer mee in de NL horeca. Dus waar voor je geld, zeker een stop waard. We hebben genoten!!

We aten hier op een zondagavond. Het was niet druk, iets van 6 tafels omgeveer warwn bezet. Het eten (paneer curry, naanbroodjes) was lekker en leuk geprijsd!

the butter chicken was like the twin towers after they got hit i dont like it .

Always great food and a great price 💖

We always enjoy coming here. The food is excellent 👌 and the staff make you feel at home. We brought our 6 year old daughter for the first time and she also really enjoyed the experience and the staff.

Super tasty food and very friendly staff. They were also very friendly to our 6 year old daughter. Recommended!

Great restaurant. Been more than once over the years. This last time (Dec 2024) we also had a good meal, but unfortunately the service was not good (they only spoke poor English, did not listen well and were not sufficiently service-oriented). The food was good.

My food was really tasty, so was the 7 others, 1 of our group was not satisfied, he thought the meat was tough. My mango lassie was completely forgotten unfortunately. There was also a mistake made with 1 dish, but that was resolved in record time.

The food was okay, but not very special. The service was friendly and attentive, but not exceptional. All in all a reasonable experience, but not one that really stands out. • Butter Chicken: The sauce is quite sweet, and the chicken could have been a bit more tender. • Lamb Massalum: The lamb was mostly on the dry side, with the occasional more tender bit in between. • Garlic Naan: For me personally, the garlic flavor is a bit too strong, but this is highly recommended for real garlic lovers. • Basmati Rice: Flavored with saffron and well prepared.

Mwah niet echt bijzonder, we hadden een menu, het smaakte allemaal erg zoet, niet zoals ik gewend ben van een Indiaas restaurant. Op zich prima gegeten, maar niet echt een aanrader. Voor ons geen 2e keer.

Fantastic dinner. Food top notch and service also excellent. Certainly repeatable for replacement.

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere inside and outside beautiful canal for walking, walking distance for shopping

It is always a pleasure to eat at Taj Mahal! The food is fresh, tasty and really of top quality. Every time I am surprised by the delicious dishes. The service is also fantastic – friendly and attentive. This is my regular place to order from and I recommend it to everyone!

Tasteless and the portions are absurdly small

The food is delicious in Pakistani cuisine and the service is nice Spicy chicken biryani takes you to another world

A restaurant that serves cuisine suitable for all Arabs With a beautiful view

Delicious food. Naans were especially very good. Portion sizes are good enough. Only negative for me is poor furniture with chairs being very wobbly. The chairs fell on back thrice while getting up.

Delicious food, highly recommended

I've been here on a number of occasions, the food is always excellent but the service leaves a lot to be desired. Never have I been in a restaurant and when finished all asked to pass empty plates down the table so that the server can collect the empty dishes. In most reasonable restaurants the server stands to your left and collects the dishes from the individual guest.

! It's an Indian restaurant, so the recipes are from India. Certainly not an Indonesian restaurant where the recipes come from Indonesia.

I've had takeout here several times. My favorite, balti gosht chicken tika with rice and naan. Too bad it's a 25 minute drive for me, otherwise I would go more often.

Very bad you just taste burnt dry meat and where were the spices and so stingy it looked like a hot meal

Delicious food, good service and... Dishes with super taste

Been coming there for 15 years, but the dishes have tasted different lately. Take the Tindaloo chicken for example: cowardly and tasteless, even watery. In addition to the rice, the quantities are no longer generous. If you order a dahl with egg, it contains half a boiled egg, nothing more. The amounts of curry also seem to be getting smaller. After I asked, the waiter told me that they have a new chef and it is noticeable. The only thing I was very positive about was the naan bread with lamb, but of course people don't go to a restaurant like this to only eat bread. The operation itself was minimal: Designate a place, take your order and then you basically figure it out. Don't ask if everything is to your liking, don't check if drinks can be ordered, don't ask afterwards if we want to order something or if we would like the bill. It used to be better in this restaurant.

Chicken Madras that was sweet, not spicy. Waiting to be served forever despite lots of staff. Ordered a soup and halfway through the main course came, put on heating placeholder with no candles. Never again. PS. I wrote this review before I paid bill and explained food was not what I expected. Apparently I was given other dish which explained mismatch with expectations. Was offered 25% discount as sign of apology. Fair gesture.

Aan een tafel geparkeerd naast de ingang, niet echt sfeervol maar goed... Meest uigebreide menu besteld om van alles eens te proeven. Het was best ok als je geen idiaas gewend bent, maar veel hetzeflde en opvallend zoet. Kortom... mwaah... gemiddeld. Overigens was de Garlic Naan wel erg goed !!!

Great Restaurant for Indian qusiene

Forgot 2x Naan bread for the 3rd time, agreed to send an email and that I would be contacted with a solution. had to wait almost 3 weeks (after I sent a 2nd email). I'm sorry but no longer a customer after 30 years, I hope it was worth the 15 euros. Customer service is below par.

Great friendly service, very tasty food and certainly enough. Highly recommended

All the dish were delicious, especially i liked chicken gravy most

I have visited Taj Mahal with a group of hockey friends in the past. They had been reasonable in food quality and value for money. However, we re-visited Taj Mahal on Saturday 11th May 2024 in a group of 16 matured people of Indian origin. Booking a table on-line was impossible but we were accepted as 'walk-in' customers. The whole menu was in Dutch and none of us can not read or write Dutch. All staff members were useless in explaining the menu even thou we were communicating in Urdu. Menu prices were expensively high and portion sizes were miniature. ZERO value for money. Every dish tasted horrible, perhaps all acceptable by the locals who do not know any better. The manager took our order and even he messed it up. We asked for chilled beers and we ended up paying for 3 off warm Kingfisher Beer bottles as well that were sent back. A proper RIP - OFF. To gain respect, Taj Mahal need to employ good quality professional chefs and waiting staff. Employing any one with Pakistani / Indian origin will fool the locals but not INDIAN people like me who travel the world and enjoy good quality international cuisine. Taj Mahal were well below poor with food quality and service. I and my groups of relatives and friends will never visit Taj Mahal again, unless we get a complimentary invite with the assurance that (at least) they have new quality chefs. Very sadly disappointed customer - Narinder from London

Our whole family along with our group of skyline holidays had dinner at Taj restaurant Food was awesome and service was excellent Awaisbhaijaan behaved very politely with all of us and served us as if we were his family member Thanks a lot for making us feel like home Would surely recommend this restaurant to all Asian tourist

Have food delivered to your home. Delivery time was ok. 57 euros worth of food. 3 bowls and 3 naan. Butter chicken and a curry were very sweet. No taste at all. And a mixed grill. The meat was a bit dry and had little flavor. Seems like they don't use salt. First time ordering here, and most likely the last. I wasn't impressed with the naan either.

Don't take mixed grill if your taste buds are still working.

the madras in particular is delicious there, come by for years and it remains delicious

Very bad not recommended.Their Indian chicken curry was not tasty.

A major disappointment. Went back again after years. I am a fan of Indian food, and in the past I have had a good meal here, but now it is really disappointing Mussuman paneer sauce much too sweet and tasteless indeterminate sauce, only coconut flavor with sugar or something, the tandori meat was so dry that day it seemed as if it had already been there that day , only the chicken leg was reasonable. The vegetarian biryani was ok, but everything was overcooked.

Bad food there was egg on the butter chicken. Delivery took 2 and a half hours. I will never order from here again!

Cozy restaurant with delicious Indian dishes. Indian service, very friendly. Good price/quality ratio

Ordered to pick up, food smells super good and for 20 euros 3 people can eat. On holiday I always eat curry madras at a Pakistani, much spicier here (I can handle spices very well) but unfortunately after 1 bite I was done :( otherwise super friendly staff!

Tasty food, friendly people, price quality super good

Nice meal. Delicious beef tindeloe.

As always, a delicious meal! Both in the restaurant and delivered to your home.

It was a good experience 👍. Their samosas are very delicious. I will definitely come back for them, as well as the mango juice. The atmosphere was beautiful and calm. What impressed me most was the service that kept the food hot all the time. This is definitely a wonderful thing 👏

Friendly staff and good service but the food needs ton of improvements.

Delicious spicy and richly spiced vindaloo and tindaloo curries! Lots of choice of authentic Indian dishes and the restaurant is nicely decorated, perhaps a bit dated, but I like that cozy, warm atmosphere. Be sure to order some (garlic) naan bread on the side, super delicious with coriander and garlic!

Mutton balti curry was bland flavour less n less quantity for the price paid, aloo paratha was just bread with no potato filling, thy charged us 6 eur extra for tap water which we confirmed twice was free. Only thing good was chicken biryani, which we asked for spicy.

Tables are a bit small if there are 4 people sitting at them. Food was good, although some variation, when you eat in and/or take away. The taste of the chicken tikka curry is good. The butterchicken is a bit too sweet for me. But you can argue about taste. Great choice of dishes. Price is slightly more expensive than the other Indian in Breda.

Tasty food and great service, appriciated, specially in these days. Coming back soon

Ordered butter chicken which tasted like pumpkin, and was actually really not nice in taste. There were no spices or any nice flavour, the garlic naan was dry and cold. The rice was okay. Do not recommend.

We ordered lamb curry, paneer butter masala and chicken vindaloo. As a Indian I can confirm that the food had no indian flavours and only lots of color and artificial flavours. The paneer butter masala was cooked in a coconut gravy which is a big disappointment, nobody cooks like that. The lamb was alright but lacked spice and flavours as well. Coming to the chicken, it was by far, the worst chicken we have ever had !! Not only was the gravy heavily diluted but was also added with a tea spoon full of spice powder just to make it taste indian which ruined the whole experience. Lastly the starters were a big scam !! They just fried the frozen pakoda and onion Bhanjee when we ordered it. Nothing was prepared freshly even though the restaurant was empty. This is insane :( The service was very good although the food does need a lot of improvement. Would not recommend it someone who would like to experience authentic Indian food.

Disappointing! The butter chicken had nothing to do with butter chicken. It had coconut in it, was very sweet and had egg on it. Nice idea, but come up with another name for it. I expected authentic Indian food but unfortunately this didn't come close. Never again

Super vriendelijke service en lekker eten! De butter chicken is een aanrader :)

Heerlijk eten uit de indiaanse keuken. Wij komen zeker terug.

I had the pleasure of dining at Taj Mahal Indian restaurant in Breda, and it was an outstanding experience. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel truly welcome. Now, let's talk about the food – it was nothing short of fantastic. Every dish we ordered was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with authentic Indian flavors and spices. From the aromatic biryani to the creamy butter chicken, every bite was a delight. Taj Mahal is a must-visit for anyone in search of exceptional Indian cuisine and impeccable service.
