Unfortunately both service and food were very poor. Took 40 minutes to get a bottle of beer served. 1.20hr to get starters of which mine was inedible. When mains arrived four of our eight dishes were tasteless, and although different meals all looked and seemed to taste the same, of nothing. There was one other table in the restaurant so it was not busy.

I’m sorry but it just wasn’t tasty enough, like a curry should be ? However it was cheap! £66 for the three of us including a bottle of wine. It was busy enough but service was a bit rubbish and we wouldn’t return. Such a shame.

Been going to this family run restaurant for most of my life, for years my nan and Grampa been going and has taken all the grandchildren and now we've all grown up and we now take our own children here. Food is always lovely and fresh, ahseek and Ahad can't do enough to make your experience a good one. Love coming here.Parking: If you can't find a space outside there's a car park opposite that is free after 6pm I believeKid-friendliness: No problem with chicken here, family run restaurant, they have high chairs tooWheelchair accessibility: Side doors (which may look like main entrance if you come down the street to it ) has large double doors and is flat

Took my family for a meal here there were ten of us in total including two infants under two, We took advantage of their banquet offer which represents excellent value and much better than the old buffet system as dishes arrive plated and freshly cooked to order, food was hot tasty and portions were sensibly sized, The staff were attentive without being intrusive and the overall dining experience was informal but very pleasant. The banquet nights represent very good value and an opportunity to sample a variety of dishes. Highly recommended will be returning again soon.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options available.Kid-friendliness: Staff were excellent with our two grandchildren both of whom were under two years of age,

Have been using the Taj for years. Often frequenting to dine in or have a takeaway most weekends but have to admit not so for a few months due to personal reasons. Never ever had a problem either eating in or takeaway. Decided to order tonight, £37, popadoms and chutneys. 2 curries, 2 breads and the rice and chips. I’ve heard of shrink-flation but have to say seems all companies at it. The price had gone up roughly by about £5 (we expected that)..what we didn’t expect was third filled pots of chutneys apart from the onion salad. Keema naan was filled in one corner. A slither of mince. I understand prices have gone up, but ripping customers off means you end up losing customers. As nice as the curry was, we won’t be eating anymore. Costing more, getting less!! Thanks but NO thanks

One of the worst Indian food I’ve ever had. TV dinners are of better quality. Both chicken and paneer was overcooked and hard as rock. Rice was mushy. Tikka masala was overly sweet and basically just tomato paste. Food took half an hr to 40 min to come out. Pick another place for now. They need some time to sort themselves out.
Great food and lovely staff definitely going again soon parking just across the street

We got the buffet - paid £28 for two people including a pint of coke for each. Really good food for what we paid for - onion Bhajis were so good and the curry I got was a solid.

Mostly sauce but reasonable prices and the food does tasted great.Cheese naan could've been plain didn't taste like much.
Alex Jones
All the food was very tasty, and service was good. Would recommend to anyone wanting a curry in Merthyr Tydfil.

The Vindaloo chicken curry was awful. Its extremely hot ( i usually eat vindaloo, and i knew the spicy level). But this is waaay too hot and wasnt tasty either. The chicken cubes were not well marinated, its obvious that they have simply added precook chicken to the pre-cooked vindaloo curry.I ordered two naan bread it was good and my wife ordered a biriyani and that was also okay.
