TAJINDIAN CUISINE - Indian Restaurants in Stafford, Virginia, USA

So happy Taj has opened a location in Stafford. Best Indian cuisine in the area! Everything comes out hot and fresh. Spice levels are optional and ours came out perfect (we enjoy spicy). The mango lassi was the right balance of tart & sweet. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. We left full and looking forward to delicious leftovers.

Wow! One of the best Indian restaurants I have been to period! The food is high quality and absolutely delicous! The service is outstanding and the atmosphere is really nice! They have a ton of vegeterian / vegan options! The chili Nan is to dieeee for!!!

A smallish place, clean and attractive. Indian music playing on the stereo and Indian music videos on the telly. Full service bar and a fairly big selection of dishes. I had the Kheema Samosa appetizer which was good, the chicken Tikka Masala (#4 hot level), rice and garlic Naan which were all really excellent. Prices are kind of high but portions are large so it evens out. My only complaint is the bar; I had a Jack and Coke which was served weak and flat. Overall, I really like Taj and I'm looking forward to trying it again. Recommended.

The best indian food in stafford, we have been here 3 times in the last month and keep coming back to explore the menu. Service is fantastic and the portions are large enough for two meals. Highly recommend.

We went on Saturday night to Taj Indian Cuisine and it was fabulous! We were so excited for it to have finally opened and it was well worth the wait. They completely renovated the inside and it now has comfortable booths and if you have a larger party that have 2 bigger booths ready to accommodate that feel semi private too. The food was delicious! We have 2 different dishes but both were off their signature dishes. I had the chicken tikka masala and my husband had the methi malai chicken both were so good. The rice on the side was perfect and we had the garlic chili naan and the garlic naan ( get the garlic chili if you are only ordering one). The service was excellent the food was delicious and the ambience was pretty and inviting. Give them a try and tell them Ginger sent you!

We had a warm welcome and enjoyed delicious food! Every dish was amazing and beautifully presented. The restaurant feels upscale in Stafford! It’s decorated nicely with quality serving ware. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed butter chicken, tandoori lamb chops, a vegetable dish, and garlic naan. We’ll be back soon!

I had previously been to the Taj in Fredericksburg (on Rt3) many times over the years and have always really enjoyed it. I love how they’re not afraid of spices, heat, nor making food the way it’s SUPPOSED TO BE MADE! Not making food for Americans, which is the kiss of death for ethnic joints. So, when I heard/saw many months ago we were getting this Taj here in Stafford, I was excite for it to open… and waited a very long time too! Then, finally we were able to go one day for lunch, since their website said they’re open at 11AM. I went only to be disappointed to see their door saying they open at 11AM, but a hand-written sign saying they are only open for dinner, at 5PM. So, I left and came back a week later. When I went in, they were very busy (which I find disappointing, as there is another Pakistani joint less than a mile from here, and it’s always dead, but it has great food – why not go there too?), but we were able to score a booth. The menu is large and loaded with all the dishes I like and even though there was only two of us dining, I got many things with the idea of bringing home leftovers and sharing with the family the next day. All the food we ordered was PERFECT! It’s Punjabi style Indian, which has a LOT of carry-over flavors from Pakistani style eats, which I’m very familiar with (and love so much more than “regular” Indian food) – So I absolutely loved it! Presentation was spot-on too! They use the Thali (a tin bowl to serve food to share at the table) to plate their dishes. Their naan was INCREDIBLE! Perfectly made and a great size. We ordered is without butter (which is how you’re supposed to eat it) and uncut, so we could rip pieces to use as a “utensil” while eating each bite. Spice levels are legit! Be sure you’re ready for what you ask them to prepare! We order a couple in “medium” and several in “spicy” and those dishes were pretty much dialed in. Service was very friendly, helpful, and sincere too. Overall – I am so very happy this place is here as I can now get the flavors I love quicker, easier, closer! BTW – The leftovers that I shared with my family the next day were met with rave reviews as well. We’re a Pakistani family, so we are quite familiar with curries… we really enjoyed what they’re doing here and will most definitely return!

It’s finally here after 18 months of waiting. TAJ Indian cuisine on 909 Garrisonville Road in Stafford is open. It did not disappoint. Clean, friendly and the food was delicious . Well worth the wait.
