Taj Mahal’s dishes are authentic, healthier and tastier. Our chefs let the natural ingredients overwhelm the dish with minimum artificial colours, creating stunning shades and depths to our cuisine. Splashes of red chilli peppers, crimson paprika, amber saffron, ochre Turmeric, beige Cumin, Ginger and mustard seed all add their unique pigment to our delicacies.

Uddin’s unique home cooked recipes incorporate traditional methods and well kept family secrets. Our chefs only use the freshest garlic cloves and coriander leaves so that our spectacular dishes are bursting with flavour! Ingredients are brought, lovingly prepared and cooked on the same day.
