Bombay Nights in West Dorset

This was a last minute christmas day booking after our original choice had let us down, and all I can say is I am glad that they did! This was by far, the best christmas meal I have ever experienced, and I have been eating out on christmas day for the last 25 years! Staff were attentive, friendly and professional. The food was outstanding, dietary needs were met, portion size was more than I could eat, and I watched my very fussy son completely clear his plate. Thank you guys for giving us a great Xmas experience!!

Great restaurant prompt service great food and friendly staff

We had a superb supper last night. The Taj Mahal really is back up to its old excellent standard. It was almost full—on a Tuesday evening—which speaks for itself.

Good, but part of our order was missing, ie poppadoms.

New owners and what a great meal we had. Currently living in the Midlands and we have a superb range of great curry houses. Not often I come across a menu where I want to try such a range of dishes, it took us ages to pick our choices. They do all of the usuals from tikka Madala to Rogan Josh. In addition there are really interesting Indian dishes including lobster, squid and beef rump. The three of us chose 2 starters and 3 mains between us. The trio of chicken was delicious, even though one of them was bright green! The lamb strips were fabulous, like a minted red current jelly lamb with an Indian twist. If you like a rich slightly sweet curry the lamb and apricot could be for you. My sis had the lamb shank which just fell off the bone. Ann loved her New Delhi chicken which was creamy and full of flavour. The Naan was some of the best I’ve had, light and crisp and the mushroom rice was another triumph. We will definitely eat here again, I’m a real foodie and this was such a lovely surprise, great food, £21 a head with drinks, bargain!
