The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind.

The Indians also brought their very own vibrant, colorful, and aromatic authentic dishes for the people in the West. While most of the Indian population is Vegetarian, Indian food is great for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian food option. If you are a Meat lover, don't get disappointed yet.

I ate here a while ago and wasn't super impressed with the vegetarian thali, but decided to give it a second try with some friends to check out the vegan menu. After reading the reviews on here, I was expecting good things. The only parts of the meal I enjoyed were the bread we ordered, and the soup I got with my entree (for which I had to pay extra.) The included salad IS very small, with only iceberg lettuce and one carrot. The sauces were unimpressive. My friend's chicken was dry and flavorless. The vegan skallops I and another friend got were not worth the $11. To top it all off, the management seemed put out about splitting the check onto two credit cards. The owner came over to lecture us about how we should have asked for separate checks from the start.

I thought this restaurant was great. The owner (who was clearly Indian) was the only staff there and waited on us. Very cordial and friendly, good service, and GREAT food! I have absolutely no complaints about this place and would recommend it in a second to anyone looking for good Indian food.

My fiancee and I ate here for the first time last night, and it was delicious! The restaurant closes at 10pm, and we got there around 9:15pm. Harish (the owner) was the only wait staff present, and we were seated promptly. He asked if we wanted to see the vegan menu (which is quite extensive), and he never rushed us. The food was very good, and Harish was extremely cordial - it was like he was hosting us at his house and not his restaurant. Toward the end of our meal, we invited him to sit with us and we talked about his worldly travels, and he even gave us tips for traveling on a budget! I prefer Taj Mahal over The Oven!

This has been a favorite of mine for over 15 years. Good food, nice, quiet, and relaxed. The owner (Harish, who immigrated from India) makes it a point to speak with his guests whenever possible. Family owned, Taj Mahal is authentic Indian including a large selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. I love the Lamb Biryani!

My husband and I visited here for the first time tonight. We recently stopped eating animal products, so our options for eating out have changed quite a bit. I heard about Taj Mahal's vegan menu, and tonight we finally checked it out. If you are vegan (or want the vegan menu), ask for it when you enter, so you will be given it when you are seated. The vegan menu is two pages, and their breads and appetizers are vegan, too (this is on the regular menu). They have one vegan dessert (which we didn't try this time), too! The food was very good and service was friendly and quick. The atmosphere is nice (we were there for dinner and it was darkly lit and kind of romantic). I would definitely recommend this for vegetarians and vegans, because you won't find such a lengthy menu at any other restaurant in Lincoln, but anyone who likes Indian will enjoy this (there is a regular menu full of meat dishes). Enjoy!

Horrible experience. Frozen appetizers, no chutneys. A grilled chapatti is not roti. Slow service, expensive. They did not deduct the unedible food from the bill when I complained. If you want Indian food go to the Oven.

Annoying service that night. Ordered chicken tikka korma with a few slices of jalapeno. When it was served he said he forgot the extra jalapenos, so then he came out with the jalapenos and started cutting them at our table and then plopped them into the sauce. If that had been what I wanted, I would have just asked for a side of jalapenos. Also, he put way too many in so I stopped after just a few bites. Might give them another chance down the road, but not for a while.

The place? Don't bother. I did not even see a single Indian face in there. Food? I wouldn't take it if they gave it to me for free. It's a lot cheaper than The Oven, but you're sacrificing quality. My boyfriend had the diarrhea for 25 minutes in the bathroom the next day. The food gave us a headache from the MSG in their food and it set in while we were still there. The salad was a joke. Sick joke, not at all funny, it was served on a tiny plate fit for a small rabbit and it had several slices of the cheapest lettuce you can find with a single baby carrot.

As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were surprised by the elegance yet simplicity of the hotel. It's has beautiful decor and it's just comforting. Right opposite our table (we were facing the kitchen) is the kitchen from where the chef cooks. Everything is freshly made, nothing is frozen. You can see him cooking! It was pleasant to know where your food is coming from, and how it's being prepared. Once we were seated, a white woman served us (who we later learned, is the wife of the chef, who is Indian), she gave us water. For drinks we ordered a mango lassi (then another one later). The mango lassi was fantastic! It had a distinct mango flavor without it being too overpowering and sweet. It wasn't sour (like most places) nor was it too sweet. It was cold and was the perfect balance. It was also served in a cute wine-esque glass! Kudos! For appetizers, we ordered papadum, which was seasoned with crushed cumin and salt, and the papad itself was made with cumin. It was roasted to perfection and it was served with this sort of spicy, cilantro infused, tangy yogurt chutney! It was mind blowing! The combination with the cumin seasoned, mild papad with the tangy kick of the chutney was fantastic! We wanted to order bhindi masala (okra in curry), but I didn't want the curry. I just wanted sautéed, crispy, okra cooked with turmeric, red chilly powder, and salt. We asked the waitress to request the chef to speak to us. Immediately, he came over and welcomed us with a warm smile and made a quick joke about how it would cost us extra to talk to him, which I found extremely nice of him. I spoke in my native language, which he understood, thankfully (otherwise it would've been hard to explain my requirements). We gave him the specifications and he agreed to make it the way I wanted. Next, I told him that I wanted to try the paneer tikka korma masala, I've never had it before, so we went to the kitchen and got me a spoonful of the curry and asked me to taste it. I told him that I wanted it spicier and he agreed to make it that way. Personally, I have never seen any chef do that! I was extremely happy! We ordered a yellow lentil (dal) and garlic and regular naan, our order also came with cumin, turmeric, salted rice. Like I mentioned before, everything is made right in front of you. There aren't any doors to the kitchen and you can see what he's making. Let's talk about food. The naans smelled scrumptious! I could eat them right there and then, WITHOUT anything, that's how good they smelled. They tasted even better though. They were soft, fluffy, crispy on the top, and topped with delicious butter. The garlic naan rocked! What's different about this naan is that the garlic is stuffed INSIDE the naan and not outside. Usually, it's outside and eventually the garlic falls off and you're stuck with a regular naan, but you're paying more. I got a bit of garlic in every bite, it was wonderful! Now for the vegetables, the paneer tikka korma masala was FABULOUS! It was tangy, spicy, sweet, acidic, yet mellow. The paneer (cubed cottage cheese) tasted extremely fresh, it was soft, and had a wonderful milky flavor, the way it's supposed to taste. Usually, different restaurants use week old paneer in their dishes and it tastes really bland. The bhindi (okra) was made the exact way I like it. It was crispy, spicy, salted perfectly, and just plain delicious, there weren't any words for it. I can't give you a better definition. The dal wasn't that great, to be honest. I could have done without it, but it was nice to try, especially if you're looking for protein overload and are a vegetarian. The rice that comes with the food wasn't so great either, I'd just order basmati rice with the food, it tastes so much better. We didn't order it because we were full. After dinner, the chef and his wife came by our table and we had a brief chat for at least 15 minutes which was refreshing and extremely nice of them. They both are wonderful people. Last but not least, I had the mango cheesecake. How can I describe this to you? The graham cracker crust had cinnamon, cardamom, and a distinct butter flavor. It was followed by the most delicious, velvety, and soft cheesecake ever. On top was their famous mango puree or sauce, it wasn't sweet nor sour, just right. It was topped with a maraschino cherry. Go to this place if you're ever in the Lincoln area! Amazing food, amazing hospitality, amazing people, and most importantly, amazing atmosphere!

Mediocre. Papadum was burnt at edges and stale tasting. Veggie samosas were undercooked and tasteless. Served with what they called chutney. We got lamb vindaloo (ok), chicken Tikka masala (rubber) and sag paneer (ok). Tandoori mixed grill featured weird and not edible "kebab."
(2)Fazle H.
The food was not that good at all, the chicken was very dry and flavorless. We ordered the platter (non veg). It's more on variety than on quality. The lentils were ok at best. The nan was both crispy and soft and the goat was tender and flavorful. The owners were nice ppl. It was not worth my $30.
(2)Darko R.
Not only was the food excellent, the owner was very welcoming, very knowledgeable on his food and its history. Recommendations were spot on. Willing to prepare anything we wanted even if it was not on the menu. I'm still craving the goa tuna that I asked him make vindaloo spicy, insanely good.

Yummy yum yum yum. I love the Taj Mahal. It is quiet and the owner and his family are really nice. My first taste of Indian food was at The Oven and I disliked it so much that I didn't want to try this place out but it has changed my mind. I usually get the eggplant masala with paneer. The owner makes his own paneer, it is soooo tasty. My boyfriend usually tries something new everytime we go so I get to sample. There has not been one thing bad I have tried. We also get the garlic naan which is also super tasty. Everything is made right there, nothing is frozen, you can tell. I do usually get the salad instead of the lentil soup, I like the mustardy dressing. The lentil soup is tasty, though. This restaurant is also great for vegetarians and vegans, there is a large menu just for that with great options. The mango adult beverages are also super tasty.

My husband and I have been frequenting the other "popular" Indian place in town and were looking for a change. So glad we tried this place! It was by far the best Indian food we have had in Lincoln! So flavorful, deliciously homemade, and tons of veggie options for us vegetarians! The soup and the naan were both amazing. My husband had the special eggplant dish and I had my standard Dal dish that I always order at Indian places. Both were phenomenal. The owner chatted with us and was so nice. Also, the next day the food sat well with us and we didn't have digestive issues like we do with some spicy places we have tried. We have found our favorite Lincoln Indian place and we will be back.

Horrible food. Have you ever had veg biryani with eggplant, if not checkout this restaurant. I saw one or two pieces of brocolli in it. Chef came and ask whether we want cashew and rasin on it, without that I can say its rice and eggplant curry mixed. Service: we asked to split the check three ways and server said they need add extra for it(never heard that before). The extra was 20%, when we asked for explanation, she left it at table and walked away, don't have the courtesy to explain. Rudest restaurant in Lincoln ....
