<H2>Taj Palace</H2>Buffet style Indian cusine with many choices cooked in a tandoor which leads to a distintive flavoring. The Ala Carte menu has many authentic Indian entrees, including a house specialty, Maharaja Dinner for Two, including Tandoori Chicken, Barra Kabab, Fish Tikka, Tandoori Shrimp, Chicken Tikka Makhmi, Saag Panner, Pillau Rice, Salad, and Raita & Onion Kulcha. From a window from the restaurant into the kitchen, you can watch the chef place the long spears with vegetables and meats into the tandoor oven. The result on chicken is hot and seared on the outside, while tender and juicy on the inside. The Ala Carte Tandoori Chicken is served on a hot skillet along with rice. The buffet offers a range of Indian food from mild to spicy and includes a salad bar, dessert, soup, Naan bread, vegetables, rice, and several different meat or vegetarian choices. The cost of the buffet at lunch was $7.40 (as of May 2004). A Children's menu is also offered with traditional American choices with an Indian twist such as a hot dog rolled in freshly baked bread or a mild Curry for Begginers among several other choices. The restaurant is located at the end of the shopping center of the former Big Bear grocery store. The decor theme includes small brass vases, brass lights that hang over the tables, pastel and yellowish pink colors and a corner bar where they can mix up your favorite hard liquor. The window shade is a set of hanging beads which from the outside have a picture of the Taj Palace.

My picky American tastes didn't stand in the way of enjoying this fantastic Indian restaurant. This smaller restaurant covering several store fronts in a strip shopping center offers authentic Indian food with offering that will please a wide variety of tastes. The Tandoori chicken cooked overnight had a crispy marinated outside and a very tender and juicy inside. The white steamed rice is served with light seasoning and vegetables, while you can also choose vegetables cooked in a sauce. My friend from Sri Lanka was eating vegetarian that day and had no problem finding choices on the lunch buffet. I also had what was a very unique half-rounded thin bread from the buffet line. The salad choices were typical lettuce, tomatoes, onions and other vegetables served with a choice of both American and Indian dressings. The service was flawless and they were always there to fill up glasses on check on your meal. The interior was nicely done and colorful, the tables were covered with white linens and cloth napkins provided. Fine dining with a casual dress code. From the Ala Carte menu (dinner) you can choose a Tandoori Murg which is a half chicken marinated overnight and baked in the tandoor (look at the restaurant wall to read about this traditional pottery baking) oven for only $8.50. Many other entrees run $10 to $15. The children's menu was affordable at $4.95. |
