We love Taj. The butter chicken and naan is outstanding. We have tried a lot of different dishes and they all have been really good.

11.99 lunch buffet... you really can't complain at that price plus I think it may be the only joint in town. Had everything normal to a buffet, butter chicken curry, chicken tikka, naan,dal curry, vegetables,salad and dessert. Everything was there. We also ordered cheese naan and chicken tikka Marsala. The Marsala had a very nice taste. More...

The lunch buffet here is so good. The menu differs day to day. The rice and Naan are yummy and there is 7-8 curry dishes available, 3-4 of which are vegetarian. I definitely like some items more than others but I haven't tried one that tasted bad. I sometimes get it delivered via Uber eats, but I much prefer the buffet for the value and variety.On this particular day, there was 3 different tables with guests of Indian descent eating here. Given the limited Indian population here in Yakima, I think that's a great sign that the food is truly tasty and authentic. More...

If Indian food is new to you try the butter chicken, it's fabulous!! We will be going back often!!! it had a great atmosphere and friendly staff. More...

I like my food extra spicy so I skip the Buffett and order take out so I can up the heat. Love getting curry to clear my sinus during allergy season.

On a road trip through WA in an RV, we decided to check out Yakima en route to the south. Stopped to enjoy some RNR overnight and got to this little gem at 11:30am straight from a hot yoga class at Renu, ready to destroy the buffet! All the food was delicious. They don't make it very spicy (hot) here but the dishes do have wonderful sweet and complex flavors which is the right compromise. Today the buffet offered butter chicken, mango chicken, chicken tikka, rice, naan, veg curry, yellow dahl (a hallmark of real Indian food!), potato curry, potatoes with peas, fried bhajis plus an assortment of salads, relishes, poppadom and fruit plus rice pudding for dessert. What a treat. We ordered a couple of mango lassis to aid digestion. These were sweet and tangy. Perfect. A great Indian meal hidden in the most unexpected part of WA!They do play Bollywood movies and pop songs on 2 TVs here and if you like fun stuff then you'll enjoy the wackiness of it! More...

I really enjoyed the last two times I have visited this place.  Staff was friendly with perhaps just a little bit too much time between drink refills but not bad.  Food was very tasty and spicy but I was not sweating the entire meal.  I'm not experienced enough to talk about authenticity of Indian food.  Atmosphere is clean and nice.

I can definitely say this is the best Indian food place in town as it is the only Indian food place in town. I am so glad that Yakima has an Indian food place. We had the buffet and it was good and there was lots variety. I just wish that some of the flavors were more bold. There was nothing that blew me away flavor profile wise. My husband really liked the rice pudding though so he made me increase my review from 3 stars to 4. More...

We go here almost every week for the vegetarian thali. Aside from the thali, our favorite dishes are palak chana (chick peas simmered in a warming cardamom-spiced spinach sauce), samosa chaat (samosas topped with chick pea masala, tamarind and mint chutneys, yogurt and red onion), and baigan bhartha (roasted eggplant with a fragrant, tomato-based sauce). I love this place for its vegetarian options and quality customer service. They also deliver and recently opened a bar space in case you want a cocktail. More...

Wow.. Just wow. I'm from the Bellevue area and have tried most of the mainstay Indian places around the Eastside. This place is another level. This place is clean, big, and well decorated. Good Indian vibe with accompanying music. We had the buffet and it was a huge variety. All the items were full and fresh. Good variety of curries, breads, salads, meats, veg, and desserts.The food here is just amazing. Not only did the buffet have a wide variety. All the items tasted so distinctive and spiced so well.Why does this restaurant have to be in Yakima?!?! Too far for me. Please open another one in the puget sound area!! More...

What a pleasant surprise.  After traveling for a week and getting tired of the usual deep fired food or pizza we wanted something different.  We looked on YELP! And decided to go outside our comfort zone.  This little restaurant is in an old Mexican restaurant (Taco Bell?).  The parking lot was empty except for one lone car. We almost left, but we sat in the car and reread the YELP! reviews.  With our courage renewed we ventured inside. We were not disappointed.  Great food, fresh tasting and inexpensive.   When we left the dining room was jumping, and people were waiting in line picking up carry-out orders. More...

I have recently discovered a new love for Indian food after a pleasant experience in SF. Coming back to Yakima with very limited quality dining options, I stopped in to give their lunch buffet a whirl. The quality of the food and the friendly service earns Taj Palace its 5th star. Absolutely delicious. I brought a friend who is from London and has traveled the world and she said it's the best Indian food she's had (In America ;). If you love Indian food you absolutely must go. On Keto diet? They got you covered. Get the butter chicken or any of the creamy dishes with no beans or potatoes. Not on a diet? Treat yourself to a mango lassi. So tasty!! Lunch buffet for $11-$12 is well worth it. I stayed once for like 3 hours to study and they were completely welcoming. I went like 3 or 4 times in a month. I had to cut myself off lol. More...

It may be the *only* Indian restaurant in Yakima, but it continues to be our favorite. Haha! We eat here every time we're here visiting family. Quality continues to be excellent. The menu seems to have changed a bit. Was slightly disappointed in quantity of Tandoori chicken -- just four pieces. Creamy saffron chicken was to die for -- so delicious. Most recent visit was on a slow Tuesday night with minimal staff on-hand, so we waited longer than we should have at some points. Minor criticisms aside, we love this place and will continue to dine here on future visits. You should, too! More...

Okay so, the food is great and the restaurant is clean. No complaints there. The service is lacking though. At least on the day I was there. I went for their buffet, server never asked if I wanted a drink, once I was seated he disappeared. Okay, I'll just stick with water until I see him again. I made a slight mess when some of the curry spilled on the table. Like a good patron, I cleaned up after myself. I needed another napkin though. 25 minutes go by and the waiter never checked if I wanted a drink, a water refill, more napkins, nothing. If it was really busy then I would understand but I was one of three people in the restaurant. A family came in and suddenly he appeared, taking their drink orders, asking if they needed anything. He was about to walk away without even checking if on me when I hailed him back over. I asked if I could please have some more napkins. He nodded, came back and handed me exactly one napkin and then disappeared again into a the void from which he came. He was never rude, but never exactly attentive. He didn't come back until 15 minutes later to ask if I wanted the check.If you hate restaurants with peppy, overly helpful waitstaff than this is the place for you. Again, the food is great! More...

I didn't get to go to dinner with my family at the Taj Palace, but they brought home some takeout for me, and ohh man. The chicken butter is to die for! ! The chicken tandoori is spectacular! I also had another chicken dish, but I don't remember what it's called. It has onions and red bell peppers in it, kinda spicy, SO GOOD! Next time I eat something from the Taj Palace though, I want to actually be there. I will come in sometime soon, and often! More...

I went back-and-forth on whether or not this place was a 4 or a 5 for quite a while. Ultimately, we figured it was a five because it's a place we've started ordering takeout from as well as stopping in to dine at. We have not experience the recent expansion into pizza, but we know they do a great job with Indian food!The Decour inside feels very traditional and definitely sets the atmosphere up nicely. There's plenty of seating at either tables or booths and during the lunch hour they have, I've heard, quite the buffet.We've only been here for dinner, and each time it's been very good. They have plenty of excellent traditional dishes like chicken tikka masala, Butter chicken or any of the myriad of curries available. The mango curry has become a personal favorite of ours! It's as good as anything we tried anywhere else. Our newest go to dish, that we previously haven't seen anywhere else, is the saffron gosht "Insert meat/cheese here". It pretty quickly has become one of my favorite things! We're not used to having saffron in anything other than pay so was nice to see it in a creamy sauce accompanying goat, cheese or chicken. It's the sort of sauce that you get some extra naan for so you can make sure you don't leave any of it behind. Our kids have also taken a liking to it as the last time we had it they were going at the remains with a spoon.The naan options here are also plentiful. Everything from the standard originals, garlic or cheese, down to ones that have a variety of spices, meats and fruit pieces in them. You really can't go wrong! They're good enough, that you should probably order an extra one because, seriously, it's only four bucks...and it will probably bring you more than four dollars in happiness!Prices are standard and our experience with the service has been very good. It's nice to have a really good Indian food spot in town! More...
