This is a quaint little restaurant tucked away on Moncton's main Street. I am not 100% sure, but I think it is Moncton's only restaurant serving up Authentic Indian Cuisine. Naming the place after one of the 8 wonders of the world must mean they will be serving up great food right? I have visited the Tajmahal in the past for several occasions. On this day I arrived with a couple of co-workers for lunch. When I arrived my friends were already seated. After being seated my self the waitress came over to take drink orders. We all simply asked for water and when she returned shortly there after we where ready to order. I had heard that the lunch platter was really good so that's what I decided to try. The wait time for our food was short, I think it was about 10-15 minutes from the time we ordered. When we finished our meals we were prompt given our checks so that we could pay at the counter and get back to work. I like when the check is delivered promptly at lunch time. It allows worked to get back to work on time and it also helps to keep the flow of people in the restaurant moving along. Over all the service was really good considering it was lunch time.The lunch platter was quite tasty. I enjoyed it very much. However, I would personally not likely order it again. The curry chicken was very good but curry is not one of my favorite spices. A few other things on the platter was the rice, vegetable dish, and a small salad. All of which where good. There was also something called raita (Yogurt dish). Personally, I liked this but the friend who also ordered the platter did not. Its very different from the Yogurt you get from the store so it you are expecting it to taste like what you have at home you will likely not like it. The platter was also served with naan (flat bread). I love this bread, its fantastic. I have not had bad naan yet. The lunch platter is very good but in my opinion there are much better choices in the rest of the menu. One of my Favorites is the Butter Chicken!At a price of $8.99 for the lunch platter you are getting an excellent value and a nice sample of flavors from the remaining menu. One this particular day there was only a small lunch crowd. The place was close to full by the time we finished up. The Tajmahal tend to be quite and very pleasant. In the evening its dimly lit and has an air of intimacy. The decor is of course Indian style and has nice appeal.The one thing that I really did not like was the front door. This might sound picky but hear me out. When I was seated after coming in from out side I wanted to warm up. I did get comfortable enough to take off my jacket but the problem was that every time the front door swung open a chilling draft blew in across the floor chilling me from my feet on up to my head. When I am trying to relax and enjoy a meal I do not like to have a draft blowing over me. In fact, it was near impossible to relax and enjoy my mean because the door was very busy as people were coming in steadily for the noon hour rush.On this particular visit Tajmahal has earned a few demerit points. The food was really good but not great. Keep in mind, some of their menu items are absolutely fantastic. They also lose a few points for the chilling draft which can easily be fixed!!For this visit the Tajmahal earns a 4.5
