Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine
923 Metairie Road
Metairie, LA

This is the sister restaurant to Nirvana Indian cuisine in New Orleans. same owner.

garlic naan

garlic naan is one of my favorite dishes. the concept is so simple but the flavors really pop.

chicken saag

the chicken saag is a spinach based sauce. this isn’t one of the greatest saags I’ve ever had, but for the New Orleans area, it’s ok (which is the exact same review I gave of Nirvana in New Orleans).

chicken tikka masala

chicken tikka masala is my absolute favorite Indian dish but I realize that the Americanized version is completely out of what with the authentic version of this dish. Gordom Ramsay described it in the F Word, his new tv series where he goes to foreign countries and learns how to make authentic dishes that haven’t been tainted by the western palette.
