The Taj Cafe - Ventura (CA)

4 /5 Sarah Cheah: great family-owned restaurant! loved the service and how they pampered us with free appetizers and dessert. the chicken tikka masala and saag paneer included a good amount of protein which was nice. the saag paneer was a bit bland but it feels healthier which is a bonus? :) the chicken naan was a bit dry but it was a huge portion. overall would recommend for indian food in the area!

5 /5 Mairead Howe: Every dish we ordered was as tasty as the next, but for me the Samosa Chaat stole the show. Our lamb curry was delicious and everything was priced well. This place is on main street in downtown Ventura and is worth a visit if youre looking for a decent Indian restaurant.

5 /5 Rebecca Beals: This is the best Indian food I have EVER had! The butter lamb is not to be missed!! Excellent service and a complimentary app and dessert was provided without us even requesting which was quite nice. Definitely also check out all the cool paintings, very interesting art, especially the one towards the back with the ladies wearing jewelry with actual jewels affixed to the painting. 10/10 experience.

5 /5 Sunny K: We got a lot of complimentary items and at the end they requested we write a review.. All items were delicious. Partner and I split the chicken tile masala. Perfect for two. A little on the sweeter side that I’m used to but would order again. The garlic naan had a lot of garlic and we loved it. Complimentary chutney sampler. That was alright. Complimentary aloo tiki chaat. That was pretty good. Complimentary Kheer. It’s my favorite desert and it was great! We left with a little coupon. We will back!

5 /5 Tanaya Ghosh: Really enjoyed our visit here. The food was very good and the staff were kind and polite. We even got two complimentary appetizers and two complimentary desserts, which was a nice surprise. We tried the Punjabi biryani—it tasted really good and was full of flavor. The garlic chicken naan was awesome, soft and very tasty. Overall, great food and great service. Would definitely recommend this place!
