Upon entering the Taj Palace Indian Restaurant, you will have the pleasure of your nostrils being bombarded with the intoxicating scent of saffron and other fragrant Indian spices. Don’t be fooled by the drab strip mall style store front because inside your taste buds will be transported. Famous for their excellent lunch buffets, flavorful vegetarian options, and moist meat dishes, the Taj Palace will keep you coming back for more. Oh, and did I mention they have free naan and great prices? Lunch buffets are only around $11 dollars a person! Be sure to try one of their paneer courses, malai kofta, and spinach appetizers as well as their condiments and dipping sauces. Their delicious food is due to the fact the owner is from India and passionate about authentic Indian food. Try to avoid going at peak times and close to closing time to get the best service and freshest food. Although voted one of the best Indian restaurants in Austin, you may want to pass on anything non Indian on their menu such as the milkshakes.
