Placed a delivery order. Food that did come was solid but delivery time was outrageous and some items were missing, which is a poor do for 2h+ to deliver. Judging by other reviews, I'd consider patronizing this establishment again if I was going to eat it but I certainly won't be ordering another takeaway from here.

Food was excellent, service very good. The price for our meal was much lower than I expected.

WOW!!! Absolutely delicious food and fabulous service. The restaurant is very nice, clean and cozy. We had papadoms, samosa chaat, mixed starters, lamb tikka Rogan, naan and Tandoori mix grill. Everything exceeded our expectations by far and every bite taken was as mouth watering as the first. If your in the area then definitely go try this place.

Excellent restaurant - both the service and the food were perfect.

Having not eaten out for ages, after a string of disappointments, this was a stab in the dark, and turned out absolutely sensational in every way, and we've already re-booked to return next week. From the first impressions, it was clean, smart, and two of the most gentle, friendly hosts greeted us so warmly. The food arrived, and was visually pleasing, generous size portions, well presented, and fresh..Each single dish was a real treat, nothing was less than brilliant, and I can't remember being so pleased and treated for ages. Thankyou to all , we can't wait for next Saturday, you have rekindled our excitement for dining out.

The Taj Mahal Restaurant. 56 Cavendish Street, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, LA14 1PZ Tel: 01229 836066. Date of Visit 17th December2023 One of the delights in my self-imposed job of searching out the good, the bad, and the ugly in the Indian restaurant trade is coming across such places as the Taj Mahal in Barrow-in-Furness. Which is well worth a shout up! This small 40 or so seater, neat, clean modern and comfortable. The fret work that adorns the wall is well worth a visit. On this occasion I was looked after by Ajram, a pleasant knowledgeable chap who enjoyed guiding me through the menu. And what a menu it is. Of course, all the old favourites are there but quite a few different dishes as well such as Jaipuri, a slow cooked meat with coriander, ginger and finely chopped chillies. Patia Lamb, you don’t see that in every restaurant and quite a lot of dishes from all over the Indian sub-continent. I ordered Poppadom’s which arrived with the most stunning tandoori dip. These are the things that set them apart. It’s just a poppadom, but yes, it is with that extra mile that make it better . The next thing on the order was a Sheek Kebab, and to be honest I was a bit shocked when it arrived. It looked like something that a seagull outside might have deposited; I have never seen a Sheek kebab like it ! It was flat rather like a pancake, it was a pale yellow in colour! However, I needn’t have worried the first bite exploded every taste bud in my mouth, it was absolutely delicious, from the first bite to the last. Someone in that kitchen really knows what spicing all is about! But be warned this dish has a kick, and if you don’t like chilli perhaps not for you. My choice of main was Chicken Jalfrezi which I was guided to by another review on TA who raved about the Jalfrezi at the Taj Mahal, and they were not wrong, this dish surpassed any I have had in a long time, the flavours just burst into your mouth. Nothing overpowering nothing bland and uninteresting. But so full of what real INDIAN FOOD is all about.... FLAVOUR! A perfectly cooked Pilau Rice and a sweet fresh Peshwari naan completed my experience. The only thing that let this place down is its stance on the sale of alcohol, it is obvious that at one time in the not too distant past they sold Alcohol because they have a bar all setup to do so, but obviously some overzealous Iman has got other ideas which to me at any rate is a real shame !Having said that, I took along a bottle of Cobra and they had no problem supplying me with a glass and a bottle opener. OK, 9.5/ 10 for me. Parking no problem. And the cost....£23.60 Service is impeccable.

Very disappointed with our delivery, two hours late so three hours from ordering in total , food was cold on arrival and had to be reheated , ordered a signature lamb dish and received chicken which was definitely not marinated just cooked and thrown into the sauce , hardly any meat in the meals at all , over £50 in total no better than a deal bag from Tesco , shame

Seriously good food. Try the jalfrezi. Great staff but dont forget it's a bring you down booze place. Highly recommended
Three of us went for a meal here on Saturday night when staying in Barrow to visit the Lakes. We really enjoyed the food which was superb and one of the best Indian Meals we have ever had. Special shout out to the Young lad who took our order and looked after us. He Made the effort to ask us where we were going and from etc. Highly recommend the place and would not hesitate to return.

What can I say apart from wow My partner and I ordered a starter and a main course her indoors had onion bhaji which she said was the best she had ever had I had the mixed kebab which was fantastic she had a vegetable korma and I went for 1 of the specials which consisted of Nan bread on the bottom with cheesy chips and topped with lamb and chicken pieces was amazing you can bring your own alcoholic drinks in which is a fantastic money saver and a special mention to the young lad who took our orders and recommended our dishes he was lovely and made us feel very welcome would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who fancies a delicious meal

Service was slow and very lackluster. Food was nice but very little meat in the main meals. Worth noting that they don't serve alcohol.
Ian Bashforth
Great food, fast and pleasant service.I ate here on a Monday evening so it was quiet, but still luckily one of the few restaurants in Barrow that are open on that day.Only minor drawback was no bar so you need to take your own alcoholic drinks with you if you want them.Definitely works recommend and will visit again

Dined here last night, part of a group of 8 ladies, friendly smiling reception, table was laid immaculately, we ordered poppadoms & chutneys, various starters, mains and sides, all were served piping hot, and we're absolutely delicious . We all agreed the evening was perfect from start to finish, we will definitely be back in the near future.
