  Friendly staff, tasty takeaway (with a beer while you wait).

  Very little effort made by this restaurant. You might as well buy a heat up Indian meal from a supermarket - It'll probably be better. If you are looking for something vaguely genuine, this isn't it. Poor.

  In the heart of a quaint, quayside town next to the mouth of the River Dart lies a hidden diamond. The Taj Mahal experience began smoothly by friendly staff welcoming us into the establishment with smiles and kind words. Having already studied the menu prior to our visit, we sat down, keen to place our order and to sample the delights we were so eager for. We ordered a round of poppadoms and drinks. Sadly, and being frankly the one outstanding negative point of the experience, the poppadoms were slightly stale and chewy, and the accompanying chutneys were below standard and showed no hint of excitement or individuality. But then again, in the same breath, the pints of Cobra lager were very well kept; ice cold, crisp, fizzy and with a small, but pleasant head. When the main meals arrived, they were stationed on a candle burning bowl heater. The staff paid detailed attention to the various amendments and additional requests made by nearly every member of our party and every dish arrived at the table in the requested state. All dishes were very well received and we agreed unanimously that the portions were very satisfactory. The naan breads were hovering the procarious ground between crispy and fluffy, a culinary success! All of the tandoori meat was tender and juicy with clear evidence of it having being extensively marinated, with deep, red rings of spices penetrating almost to the centre. Service was fast and polite. We would recommend this establishment to any holiday maker in need of a refreshing hit of firey asian flavour when lost among a holiday destination with a vast abundence of traditional British cuisine. Great food, great atmosphere. Needless to say, we will be back...
