Review Indian Taj - Carterton

Consistently good food and friendly staff. I like how you can order online so you can see the whole menu before ordering and prices. If you are someone that likes curry but not spice then their mild curry is good because it's not spicy at all. Medium is perfect for those who like a bit of heat but not over-powering. One order of Chicken Tikka Masala takeaway was definitely enough for two people for those wondering about portion sizes. Overall a great place to go for a curry in Carterton :)

Delicious Food, we went there after Greytown Mid-Winter Christmas Festival. Food quality and flavors were mind blowing. We will be visiting again definitely

Absolutely excellent curry! Flavor profile was sublime, onion baji and pakora were excellent, lamb saag and matter paneer were one of the best I've had in New Zealand, breads were also fluffy and crispy. Seriously one of my all time top ten curries. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful food, I ordered through delivery and it was just perfect. My go to is a mushroom masala and it’s one of those dishes you think afterwards, wow when can I get that again. Every time it’s just as good and delicious as you remember. Thank you!!

We had some guests stating over for the weekend and decided we would like an Indian take away meal for dinner. I have had take aways from the Indian Taj before and really enjoyed it so thought I would go back there again. I looked up the online menu and placed my order which would be ready in 30 minutes. When I picked up the order it wasn't what I had ordered. After going over this with the gentleman (not sure who he was) he pointed out I had used the wrong (out of date) menu when ordering. As our guests had special dietary needs I couldn't take what had prepared. However this lovely gentleman said he would remake the order to what I had selected and not charge me for what was my mistake. What a magnificent gesture and exceptional customer service. When I went to pick up my order I offered a tip as some compensation but he would not accept it. You guys are amazing and the meal was up to its usual tasty high standard and enjoyed by all our guests. I will be gong back to Indian Taj again, with the correct menu this time. I would highly recommend the Indian Taj to anyone looking for a great Indian meal.

This was the best Butter Chicken I had in New Zealand!! Friendly staff, great service 👍 🙏 I'll be back....

Indian Taj is living upto its name- delicious, mouth watering food, a pleasant environment and great customer service from the wait staff and the Manager- The manager goes above and beyond to cater for your specific needs, good conversationalist too😁 To the guys in the kitchen- the food was absolutely amazing and we will definitely be coming for more. Five ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Excellent friendly team and creamy meals. Very quick service and always pleasant to come in and wait! Would highly recommend

I love that this has some of the only Indo-Chinese food around. They do a wonderful job of making it and it's absolutely delicious. For me, their other curries are a bit hit and miss. Most are delicious, but I've had better biryani's and found the Dahl Makhani too sweet for my taste. They are a little pricier than the other Indian restaurants around, so I mainly recommend them for the Indo-Chinese food, as that's the main reason I keep ordering from them.

Very welcoming 🙏 and fast service. Yummy food. Friendly approach by the owner.

Really enjoyed the food here, nice mango lassi too, chicken 65 was really tasti

This is hands-down my favorite restaurant of all time, the greatest butter chicken you will ever devour, thank you to syed and staff for being very welcoming and professional at your job, I look forward to trying out the new Turkish shop being opened next door too :)

Delicious food and friendly service. Have enjoyed several takeaway meals and the prices are very reasonable.

Food was great, the staff was very friendly and they had no trouble dealing with a nut allergy in the group. Definitely will return :)

Such great food. Fresh and delicious. Lovely chai tea and lovely service. Thank you Indian Taj. We love your cooking.

Delicious food and super fast delivery! We were expecting our order at 6.25pm and they arrived at 6.... Butter chicken was delicious, just note that if you are spice averse it would pay to request a more mild version than the standard mild as it has a tiny bit of heat to it! Value for money too, have saved our leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Thanks team

Really outstanding curry. We had a saag, a bhuna and a madras. All excellent. Very generous portions. I’d go there again. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Excellent service and food, the mango chicken is suberb and appreciate the free nuts and poppadoms. Would certainly visit again, reccomend to all!

Ordered a delivery last night.  Great service and never received delivered food so hot, what a bonus. Very friendly delivery guys and the food was very tasty. Would highly recommend and will definitely return

One of the best simple food and affordable price. If you in the heart of Wairarapa be sure to stop by. Amazing, kind, friendly staff. 👍👍👍

Absolutely fantastic Indian food and excellent value for money.  Nothing fancy, just darn good food and helpful staff.  You cannot go wrong!  One of our favourite restaurants in the Wairarapa.

Very  friendly  people  and  i  think  that  it  is  the  best  restaurant  in  the  wairarapa.  The  service  was  best.  The  food  was  very  lovely.

i have went to indian taj restaurant in carterton . friendly people in the restaurant. all the taste are from indian.i had butter chicken and naan

I'm surprised this place only has 1 review - it is hands down the BEST Indian food my partner and I have ever tasted!!! .. And we love our Indian! We've been to all the popular chain Indian restaurants but Indian Taj beats all the rest by far. The food is absolutely divine and full of authentic spices & flavours - so amazing there are no words to describe it. Excellent, friendly, fast service and incredible value for money - almost worth the trip over the hill from Wellington just to eat here. They were more than happy for us to take our leftovers home too and didn't charge any extra for the takeaway containers unlike some places do. Can't wait to go back, I highly recommend the platter for two as a starter!!

The best Indian food I've had in a very long time!!! Excellent service, very friendly and polite. Will definitely be going back!!! Recently relocated to the South Waiarapa, so I'm very excited to have found this little gem!!!
