Taj Mahal Grill & Cafe

Your one-stop shop for tasty Indian lunches and suppers in central Wellington, Taj Mahal Grill & Cafe is always rustling up something tasty on Allen Street.

The best thing about this eatery is that whenever you're in the city you're never far away from a lip-smacking curry. They're tucked away in a historic building which only means great things for the inside. It's friendly and familiar, yet not without a certain wow factor that makes dining out so special. Painted a beautiful shade of orange and with an exposed kitchen that entertains all the senses, Taj Mahal is every bit as exciting as its namesake.

To begin your meal, you are encouraged to indulge in some tasty small plates, be that a selection of pakoras, bhajis, a helping of paneer tikka or a seekh kebab to really get the appetite roaring. And if you're really loving all the tastes of the tandoor, why not opt for a chargrill special for mains too and deep-dive into the Taj Mahal grill platter, their delicious range of kebabs or a tandoori chicken sizzler?

Of course, it wouldn't be a proper Indian without a stunning selection of curries. Choose from chicken, lamb and beef specialties which you'll find in the familiar forms of rogan josh, madras, korma, vindaloo and more. And straight from the ocean comes prawn jhalfrezi and Bengali fish masala, whilst vegetarians can indulge in lentil, paneer and vegetable based creations. There's always something new to discover at Taj Mahal.
