Sunday afternoon, I was feeling too lazy to cook, so I decided to treat myself to an Indian buffet. Since there aren't many Indian buffet options left in Overland Park, I chose to visit Taj Mahal restaurant in Waldo andddd turned out to be the best decision ever!!!!!!We arrived around 1 p.m., and the place was buzzing with chatter, had a soothing ambiance and packed with customers. Despite the crowd, we were promptly seated by one of the owners.The buffet spread was incredible. There was a wide variety of meat options: eggs, chicken, goat, and beef curries, which is rare in most Indian restaurants. They also had plenty of vegetarian dishes, along with salads and gulab jamun. As soon as we sat down with our food, we were served fresh garlic naan, perfectly prepared, instantly transporting me back to India--10000/10!The staff were beyond attentive! The owners checked in on us three times to ensure everything was to our liking, which is a level of care I've rarely seen. They even shared some history about the restaurant, their dedication to freshly prepared food, and how loyal customers visit daily. They were incredibly warm to talk to.I have a really sensitive stomach but as the day progressed, our stomachs felt fine and we did not experience any acidity from the food we ate which we have experienced with a few other spots. Taj Mahal is now my go-to Indian buffet, and I highly recommend it!

Amazing Indian food. And amazing service as well. I would recommend this place anytime. We've eaten there often and they cater to your specific spice level.

Quick, friendly service and food. Had the shrimp kahari and it was perfectly spicy as I asked, with truly giant jumbo shrimp. Hot fresh garlic on the naan and yummy vegetable soup were perfect sides. I've had it for delivery but this was my first time in person and everything was great.

Great Indian food. It looks like a hole in the wall but the inside was amazing. Great service, friendly people working there and delicious food.

One of the few Indian spots in KC that has revived the lunch buffet--huge plus! Flavor-wise it's pretty mediocre

This is Waldo's gem of an Indian (Punjabi-influenced) restaurant. It also has an impressive bar with a variety of western cocktails. I'm neither a tee totaler nor big drinker, so haven't indulged yet. Someone said the bar has a definite resemblance to old Bombay wet bar places.In my experience, the clientele here is very friendly, adding to the obvious hospitality of the staff typical of most Indian spots.One thing at the outset, it's nice enough for a date but not so class-conscious that I could notice a dress code. India being the planet's largest democracy, that's not surprising.The food is DELICIOUS. Period, full-stop. Great lamb saag that's so fresh and flavorful it's even better the next day at home, with perfectly-cooked basmati rice.I can be seen here regularly. Great work, neighbors!

I stopped in for the lunch buffet, the food was great, nice and tasty as well as cooked well. Service was good, my only issue is that $26 for lunch for one person is a bit overpriced. Maybe I am spoiled with Las Vegas Indian restaurants, average Indian buffet there is around $14 - $20

This review is for takeout only and similar to other people I'm surprised that I have to make a negative review here as it has so many good ones. The one star is for how prompt the order was delivered and the plain naan was delicious. Everything else was somewhat off: veggie samosas well seasoned inside but over cooked and the edges were burnt. Lamb vindaloo was a tad greasy and dare I say: bland and not just not spicy hot but somewhat tasteless. The vegetable biryani was just veggies mixed with rice and oil: no nuts, spices, or flavor. Saag paneer was bitter and the chicken tika masala dry and with an unpleasant red coloring. I regret that we won't be trying this again. It was also somewhat pricy for over a 100$ although I guess we tried many things.

Displaying it's mural of plaques, recognitions, and awards on it's walls, Taj Mahal has undoubtedly been known and loved by KC locals for their modern take on Indian cuisine. Their menu boasts both vegan and meat options for every diet, and their interior - while a bit outdated - definitely doesn't fall behind on bringing the "sweet dinner date spot" a lot of us dating/married folk love. All that to say, their food was a bit overpriced, their portion sizes decent but not large, their customer service mediocre, and the Indian spice-flavor lacking in...well flavor. But...their GARLIC NAAN was mouthwateringly delicious.

This place is so good! We did the dinner for 2 and it was a whole feast! Samosas, soup, rice, naan, chicken and lamb Tikka Masala, and end it all with rice pudding! The staff was amazingly nice and attentive! Get some chai tea too you won't regret it.
