Taaj Palace

At an appt near here decided Indian Food buffet would be a good choice. We arrived after the lunch rush and grabbed a seat. Selection of food was smaller than expected am broken into 3 sections: Meat-primarily chicken. The Vegetarian selections were equal to the meats. But larger than most restaurants we've been to. Lastly salad bar and desserts - including Mango Pudding, OK I'm happy. The food was excellent. The Butter Chicken was flavorful as was the spicy chicken. the naan was hot & fresh. There were 2 types of tandoori chicken. It was well - tandoori chicken - dry yet still flavorful. Even with the smaller selection we didn't leave hungry. Another bonus - even with the smaller after lunch crowd the food wasn't dried out. Service was good, empty plate were cleared and drinks refilled promptly. We'll be back to this store again.

I ordered take out from here, classic chicken tikka masala and paneer saag. I ordered the 3rd option of medium spice (not sure if it was supposed to be spicier than the 1st or 2nd option or not). It was 0% spicy. I was disappointed. In the future I will add a lot more spice. It was tasty otherwise and what I was craving. I also ran out of rice. Not a huge deal, but I always like sufficient rice so I dont have to make more. I did get a small salad with cucumber and a pudding that I wasn't expecting! Those were both delicious.
The paneer saag wasn't at all what I was expecting. It was mostly tomatoes and green peppers and maybe 8-10 spinach leaves total. I like paneer saag to have spinach as the base. Maybe it's a different part of India that does it this way. It was still good, just not what I hoped for. I will come back again to see if I can get it more to my liking. Hopefully this review helps someone else who is trying to decide spice level.

Wonderful buffet and extremely nice and attentive staff.
They're goat curry was fabulous as were the chicken dishes. They even have a club card for each time one eats there. In addition to Curry Leaf, the best buffet in ABQ.

The most delicious Indian food in Albuquerque New Mexico!!! We went to the buffet and everything was fresh and mouth watering My favorite items on the menu were garlic naan, plain buttered naans, chic peas, saag Paneer, Tandoori Chicken, chicken tikka masala and Gajrela! My husband couldn't stop eating their mutton curry. Will definitely go there again next time we visit Albuequerque and advice everyone to go there too!!!!

It's pretty easy to get a five if you have good butter chicken, tandoori chicken and good rice. They hit them all. Their rice though--it's my favorite. They have wonderfully flavorful rice

The best place for butter chicken in New Mexico.

However, during the last three years or so the flavor can be inconsistent from visit to visit.

If you catch them on a day when the spice is hottest you will have one of the best meals of your life.

The buffet price keeps rising but I think they are keeping it in line with their costs. When the spice is high it's definitely worth the price even if all you get is butter chicken.

Which is why they deserve 5 stars even if sometimes the flavor falls flat.

Ordered Uber Eats. We got the butter chicken, lamb masala, malai kofta, and onion naan and lamb naan. They forgot the onion naan. The also threw in a "free" side salad for some reason but it was some old wilted lettuce and some cucumbers. All the food was fairly standard- nothing really wowed me but it wasn't terrible. I'll probably just try another Indian place next time but nothing against this place.

We visited with a large group this past Saturday. I made reservations for after our wedding ceremony in Rio Rancho, but we ended up being very late. The gentleman I spoke with was so professional, welcoming and gracious. The food was amazing. Thank you for having us, we wish you many years of success!

Chicken Biryani with a side of tikka masala sauce *raise the roof hand motion* The Raita sauce that came with the Biryani was good, but the masala sauce was life changing! Just thought I'd start off by planting the idea in your head right away.

It made me so happy to see how busy they were for takeout (I watched customers go in and out from my car). It took me multiple tries to get through on the phone when I ordered, and when I went inside to pick up my dinner, the phone was ringing pretty much non-stop. Big kudos to you, Taaj Palace! You're totes crushing it during this pandemic.

I'm so happy my bestie branched out from her usual vegetarian dish choices and ordered Navrattan Korma because the cream sauce was no joke HEA-VEN-LY. I couldn't stop dipping my garlic naan in it. We both made excellent choices and I am looking forward to trying a new dish in the future. I have tried the tandoori chicken dish once in the past (the photo automatically popped up when I started the review), quite a while back, but it was not memorable. I'm sauce girl, so maybe that's why I didn't care too much for it.

Their menu is extensive and portion sizes are huge, so have fun with it and enjoy!

Very good quality food. The chicken masala was so tender.

Lovely place to dine in & many options for takeout buffet.

Owners were delightful!
