Taj Platter at Taj Mahal Restaurant in Columbus
When in doubt, I head to the Taj Mahal. It’s close by and it’s good food. This time I tried the Taj Platter off of their menu – consisting of Tandoori Chicken, choice of Lamb or Chicken Curry, Raita, Naan and choice of Dessert. I, of course, went with the Lamb Curry. After the first wave of Naan had disappeared, I ordered up a special order of Peshawari Naan (Stuffed with cashews and raisins, baked in a clay oven). Who knew that bread could be so good and tasty! For dessert, as if the Peshaware Naan were not enough, I chose the old reliable – Kheer (Home-made long grain rice pudding with milk, raisins and pistachio).
My wife tried the Indian Salad (A combination of cucumber, onion, tomatoes and green chillies). Neither of us was impressed with their Indian Salad. It didn’t seem fresh and it was rather boring. I’m not sure what was Indian about it as it wasn’t spicy at all.
Our guest tried the Chicken Korma – A creamy delight with boneless chicken, cashews, mushrooms and boiled eggs. He had the mild, watered-down version. It was tasty but not exciting. If you go Indian, go spicy.
Btw, check out my Indian restaurant poll and vote. Currently, the Taj Palace leads the way!

Here’s my thoughts on New Taco Tao:
“I drove over here after reading about it on the web. It’s a really dirty truck with a really dirty table. Forget it. ”
On the other hand, Taquikin Taqueria y Loncheria Movil, which is actually on Morse Rd, I said:
“Went back tonight for a couple more taco pastors and an order of refried beans. And tried the roasted jalapenos. They weren’t as hot as I imagined. Also had an orange soda. Very good food. Highly recommended!”
