Taj Indian Cuisine

There is no halal certificate at this restaurant. The front desk lady was confused when I asked if the food was halal, she clearly didn\'t know what it meant.

As a south Indian guy who LOVES Indian food, I have to say that the food at Taj is the best I've had in the Portland area. The dishes are very authentic and taste like home. The owners are a family from south India and they work 7 days a week all day long. They have two sons that are in the front and do a good job of serving quickly and explaining the dishes. The brunches are very tasty and there is a lot of variety of dishes. You can't go wrong with Taj and I go there as often as possible. FYI, try the indian coffee (it's with milk and sugar mixed in and is phenomenal).

Had a short stay in Portland and decided to try out this Indian restaurant. There is one word to describe this place and thats "Superb!". The food was amazing the Chicken tikka masala was spiced just right and our cheesy garlic naan was delicious! They had an extensive cocktail list making things like an Aviation and a Last Word which is uncommon even for a regular bar. The atmosphere was amazing too they made the night an evening to remember.
