The Blue Taj

This place is so good, when you walk in you can't see the restaurant, they open the door and it is small but the atmosphere is amazing. Our waiter was funny, my husband makes jokes about spice, the waiter was very cordial. I got the braised lamb in the coconut curry sauce, the lamb was a little dry, my husband got the spicy Sitka chicken level three, it wasn't that spicy but the spice was so good. I recommend this place if you like Indian food.

Blue Taj Foods decorated as high end restaurant but dinning tables have so many scratches. They need to changed all tables or they should use table clothes. It looked ugly . Foods are very expensive and all my foods portion are very small. I found a hair in my foods. I took a picture and see attachment.

We've been on the hunt for our go-to Indian food spot in the Charlotte area and Blue Taj is a top contender! The owners are from Punjab so the flavors and technique are authentic. The Rogan Josh was delicious and the flavor was not too gamey. The Saag Paneer was absolutely delicious (one of my favorites) and the Chicken Tikka Masala was really tasty. We ordered medium spice level but it was pretty mild so we will definitely increase the spice level next time. You can handle it, I promise. An absolute must order is garlic naan because there's nothing better to soak up all that delicious gravy. The staff were really friendly and the location is central Ballantyne.We'll definitely be back!

The Blue Taj was a great find for an impromptu dinner with a friend visiting from out of town after a trip to The Bowl. The location is nice, though it's tucked away a bit and easy to miss at first. We didn't have reservations, but the friendly staff happily seated us on the heated patio, which was perfect. We ordered several appetizers, all of which were delicious, and our entrees were equally impressive. The service was very attentive throughout our meal. My only minor note is that the drinks were a bit sweeter than I typically prefer, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely return

The nicest Indian restaurant in town, regarding ambiance. Food on the on the other hand, it's about average with local Indian Offerings you can get whereas the cost is inevitably a bit higher. For some, the ambiance is a prerequisite to their dining experience. For me personally, I want a bit more flavor and spice. I was tempted to try the duck leg, but $24 is a pretty premium for a single leg... OR I would opt in for an $18 platter at an Asian restaurant for half a duck

My first dining experience here did not disappoint! Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised to find such a beautiful atmosphere. It definitely feels upscale and would be perfect for a date night. I had dinner here with a girlfriend and our server was kind, patient and informative when it came to explaining the menu items and making suggestions. Everything we had from appetizer to main course to dessert was fantastic! I plan on returning again soon to try out some other items. It feels like a place where no matter what you order, you can't go wrong.

Unexpected dinner but turned out to be so good ! Blue Taj I went to years ago and remember it being good. We sat inside as it was quite hot on the patio. Service was excellent and they are quite discreet in their checking in which was nice. Really nice decor and an elevated place for an Indian restaurant. Love you don't have to look for parking too! Food was really good but only wish is that when you tell them you want it really spicy that they make it really spicy. It was all very tasty but I could have used extra !! That's just me though. The rest of our group loved it all . Taj beer made its rounds on the table . I went with just water here. Although they have a bar and nice wine list. Appetizers we had The masala papad , nice crunchy and a kinda salad mix comes with it. The chili chicken was really good and tasty. Perfectly coated with spices. Mains we had the chicken tikka masala , great big chunks of chicken lots of good sauce. The vindaloo sauce we ordered on the side was really good too. The tandoor shrimp(jinga) was in a cream sauce, not my favorite but the shrimp were good Off the menu the salmon Achari was a table favorite. Made with cabbage and a great sauce of Indian pickle spices. Great flavor. Our friends knew to order this as it's not on the menu. The garlic naan was really good soft and fluffy. All that made for a great impromptu dinner for us. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice place or even for a special occasion with good Indian ! Well run place .

As a vegan I was worried if I could find much but I did and the food was great. We ordered samosa, bhindi masala and tofu cashew cream curry with roti. Enough for 2 people. The staff was very nice and made us a lemon soda which wasn't on the menu but that's what I was craving for. We definitely recommend this to our vegan fellows and others.

If you are MUSLIM please avoid this place. As soon as the front young girl saw my wife wearing hijab she welcomed us with rudeness , after 45 mins of waiting nobody took our order while other people who came after us were served. We finally decided to leave and the young girl at the front didnt care that we leaving and still had the nerve to say good night.Bad staff with bad attitude.Do better!I would give 0 stars if possible

My daughter and I are in town for the night and decided to venture out and try some Indian food. We are very glad that we did. The blue Taj was absolutely amazing. Great ambiance, great service and the food was absolutely delicious. The chicken tikka masala ch was so tender it fell apart. Everything was amazing. The korma was especially creamy and delicious. Highly recommended will definitely be coming again.
