A favorite with regulars, the chef always has a friendly greeting. Tasty, rich Indian food with a home-cooked feel. Simple and pleasant surrounds, with pictures on the walls and pink tablecloths and napkins. Entrée serves are huge--the juicy tandoori mushrooms will satisfy two-four people as starters. Mains include meat and vegetarian dishes. The Gosht Shahi Korma is a fragrant lamb curry with cashew nut and mixed spices. Meat-free dishes include Pumpkin Masala and Dhaal. Order a hot steaming naan bread and Saffron Rice as accompaniments. Taj Palace also has a catering service, and takeaway meals have a discount. Call ahead for details.
