If you're craving a delicious, all-you-can-eat spread of Indian cuisine, Taj Indian Restaurant's buffet is the place to go. The buffet offers an amazing variety of items that will satisfy any craving, from rich, flavorful curries to fresh naan and savory tandoori and chat options. The selection changes regularly, but you can always expect favorites like chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, dal, and Chicken dum biryani. Everything is freshly prepared and bursting with authentic spices. The warm naan, straight from the tandoor, is a definite highlight and a great way to scoop up the flavorful curries. I love that there's a nice balance of meat, vegetarian, and vegan dishes, so there's something for everyone. The desserts, like the sweet seviah, gulab jamun, are a perfect way to end the meal.

Every city we go to we look for a good Indian restaurant. This is it in Nashville. Nice lighting and atmosphere, buzzing with guests! Service was warm and efficient and they were accommodating with finding a particular pickled side called achaar. 5 stars on the dishes, we had chicken tikka masala, aloo palak and lamb biryani (tender and flavorful!). We like it hot and the spice level was perfect! Looking fwd to leftovers tomorrow!

This spot is nice. Very upscale vibe and the "upscale pricing" is certainly on the lower end. Food: The food has always been top-notch. A level above in terms of quality and presentation. Service: The staff are all very attentive and work almost *too* hard! All dressed 'to the nines.' Ambiance: The music and decore were all authentic, classy and spacious. It's located in a nice strip-mall for this area. Highly recommended for a nice lunch/dinner date!

First I have ever been there. The owner was extremely nice. The food was delicious. Well go back. The buffet was tasty. Will go back.

Wow! My son took me here for bday dinner and it was great!!! Lamb tikka masala for me and a goat dish for him, with rice & naan. Ordered an extra aloo paratha (potato stuffed thin bread, so good!!!) and a rich carrot dessert. Yum! Enjoyed it for three days of leftovers, even! Nice touch of the bread and dipping sauces at table. Son enjoyed his mango lassi a lot. We were there last min, so end of meal was a bit rushed this time, but we WILL be back! Authentic food; place was crammed with diverse patrons even at 9pm on a Tuesday night!

I know my plate looks messy here (i like to mix my food together) but this place is a 10/10!! I enjoyed everything on the plate! I like that its buffet style which gives you an option to try whatever you want, and I quite literally enjoyed what I got. Its super pretty inside, the service was amazing, and the garlic naan (not pictured) was also a 10/10. I definitely will be coming here again in the near future!

Loved this restaurant! The service was quick and the food was great. I would highly recommend going here. I loved the large selection of items to choose from, not just your standard butter chicken and tikka masala. Honestly, the tikka masala was my least favorite. I loved the green chili chicken (can't remember the name of the dish) and the mango chicken. Would recommend sharing the mango chicken and pairing it with another savory dish because it was quite sweet. The chili chicken was cooked perfectly. Spice level here is on par with the culture. If you don't like things hot, get the mild. Medium was great for me because I like some spicy, but anything more than that would have been too much I think. Their chutneys were great too. 10/10 would recommend.

Is it fully authentic? Nope. Do I still love it? Absolutely! The weekend lunch buffet at Taj is hands down one of my favorite comfort meals in Nashville. 11-2:30 pm Saturday and Sunday, $13 of (primarily) Americanized Indian food. The new Taj location is a dream: plentiful parking, beautiful spacious interior that means even when they are slammed, they probably have an extra free table. I tend to go on the earlier side of lunch for less of a crowd, and they always seat us quickly and have plenty of options for the pure vegetarian or meat adventurous. My favorites on the buffet items are typically their off-menu items that seem to only appear at the buffet: the mushroom Manchurian, moong dal, and any vegetarian palya have been consistent favorites. I can also never resist the chicken 65 or butter chicken. They add so much unnecessary red dye to their meat items but they are still so addictively tasty. Service can be hit or miss here; sometimes (even if not busy) it's the end of my meal before I see my plate of fresh naan but when serving a dining room this large, I think some of that is to be expected. Please plan to need at least a two hour nap after your meal - but it's all well worth it.
