Royal Taj - Paisley

I had a fantastic dining experience! The food was excellent, the staff were friendly, and it offered great value for money. The day buffet is definitely a highlight. I would give it a perfect 10/10!

I recently discovered The Royal Taj, and it’s the best Indian restaurant I've tried in Paisley. The breakfast buffet is excellent, and the curries are incredibly fresh and flavorful. The meat in the curries is remarkably tender. Every dish on the sizzling starter platter is both delicious and delicate. The pints of Cobra are fantastic as well, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is attentive, courteous, and friendly, creating a beautiful and cozy atmosphere.

After a short wait, we were treated to a starter platter that included chicken tikka, pakoras, wings, onion rings, garlic mushrooms, and more. Once we finished the starters, we made our way to the buffet, which was located in a corner of the restaurant. There were 7 or 8 curry options, some vegetarian dishes, along with chips and naan bread to choose from. After the curry course, we also helped ourselves to dessert from a refrigerator in the same area. On the positive side, the restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the food was excellent and of high quality. I noticed that the buffet dishes were not overly full, which I think is a good sign—it indicates that the kitchen is attentive and the food is fresh. The selection was impressive, as many buffet restaurants typically offer only 3 or 4 curries, but this one had a wider variety. The service was exceptional. Our waiter was polite and helpful, and he made us feel very welcome. Regarding pricing, there is a set buffet option that includes free drinks and tea/coffee for £19.95, but we opted for the basic buffet (drinks not included) at £10.95. Since we visited on a Saturday, we paid £1 more than we would on a weekday, but for two large Cokes and everything else, we spent just £27 in total. Additionally, children can eat from the buffet for just £5.95, making it one of the most affordable restaurants around for such quality. On the downside, and I’m being quite picky here, I didn’t notice it as much as my partner did, but some traditional Indian background music would have made the atmosphere perfect instead of George Michael playing. However, this was a minor point and certainly didn’t ruin our evening. In summary, the Taj advertises itself as the best Indian restaurant in Paisley, and I believe they are correct.

I was called in the other night here and I was certainly not disappointed, personal well dressed and on my meal request the absolutely delicious,lamb tikka korma and do not forget the veg pakora, the huhn pakora was beautiful, but the veg was excellent, the nan brote were fresh a well made. I will definitely be back for more of the same.
