I've been to Royal Taj at their new location near I95 and Route 108 about 5 times now. Every aspect of the restaurant is excellent. The ambiance. The friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. The range of food choices. The cocktails and wine selection. The food...Are all extraordinary!!

Royal Taj Indian Cuisine exceeded all expectations! The Tandoori Chicken was divine—succulent, perfectly spiced, and charred to perfection. From the warm welcome to the impeccable service, every moment was a delight. Can't wait to return!

If you’re looking for authentic Indian food, look no further. Everything about this restaurant was an experience. From the decor, to the food presentation to the service was impeccable. My wife had our day date here today and was very impressed with everything. It is a little costly but worth it. We will definitely return to this restaurant.

If I could give this restaurant 11 stars, I would. I made the drive out from DC to meet a friend & it was well worth the travel. Hands down the best restaurant service I have ever had. The food was SO good. Beautiful setting on the inside, kind and helpful staff from the moment you walk in. My waiter was informed about the menu, and the presentation of everything start to finish was top dollar for a more than fair expense. Will definitely be back, and I’ll be bringing more friends! After having been here, I can positively say that the drive is worth it and then some.
