We visited Taj Indian restaurant based on the rating from Tripadvisor. The food was decent Indian. Ordered the meal for two which included butter chicken, Beef madras, vegetable curry, basmati rice, naan and 2 samosas. Food was served promptly by the owner Miah. He was very personable and we enjoyed talking to him about the food and about the City.
My husband and I went to this place when stayed at Owen Sound. We ordered a beef dish, veggie dish, nan and rice. I really like their spices choices for the veggie dish and rice! Will come back again for sure!
Small Indian restaurant in Owen Sound that serves very good Indian Food. We had the dinner for two, where the meal is brought out in traditional copper pots and you serve yourself. Only seats 16, but take-out is available. I would definitely eat here again when I return to Owen Sound. Owner/server was very friendly and obviously took pride in... more
I don't live in Owen Sound but, every time I am there, I try to stop in to the Taj for a bite to eat. The specials are always delicious and well priced. I love the little pots of chai tea. We recommend it to everyone who expresses an interest in Indian food.
Well located, small, seemingly clean, decently appointed place with little parking options.
We bought dinner Mid June 2014, price above average and with food taste average.
Staff was nice.
The food is good and came in large portions. The owner, Miah, is originally from India but has lived in Canada for many years. He is talkative and seemed genuinely happy to speak with everyone in the restaurant. At $12 the dinner special was a great value and there's a small selection of local craft beers; if I return to... more
My husband and I LOVE the Taj Indian Restaurant in downtown Owen Sound. We are Indian food fanatics and this is one of best casual dining/take out Indian restaurants we've been to in Ontario! My husband is from London, England and they really know their Indian food. This is the one take-out food I would bring home and serve to... more
We were on our way home and stopped in Owen Sound for dinner. We tried 3 dishes, a vindaloo, a korma, and a vegetarian dish loaded with chick peas. All 3 dishes were great! The man who owns the place is very personable and friendly.
Ate here from the lunch specials menu. Good portions, with good flavours without being too spicy (I like mild rather than strong flavours). The happy, chatty owner was welcoming and helpful. The restaurant has a slightly dated decor and little atmosphere at lunchtime. We later discovered that The Taj has a good reputation for take-outs.
Definitely a place to go...

Ate here for lunch while visiting Owen Sound. We happen to love the flavors and spice of the food from India and have found the Mr. Miah has the the right touch. We have also eaten at his old location in Toronto and were excited to find his new location in Owen Sound. His portions are very generous and flavors... more
Lucky to have the Taj right across the street from my office. Take out last night was the best Baighan Bhurta I've ever had. Ridiculously awesome veg pakora I could eat every day!
My son and I decided to drop in and check the Taj out. It is a an unpretentious restaurant with a decidedly 70's decor. The proprietor recommended the lunch special ($8.95) chicken curry. It almost felt like he wanted us the prefer the special as opposed selecting from the menu but we took him up on his recommendation. Voila! In... more
Fantastic food and service. The owner is wonderful and very accommodating. Highly recommend the samosa and the Chana curry :-)
Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. The place is quite small and wasn't busy. They had a special on for less than $12 that included rice, a chicken curry, somosa and naan. The meal was quite good. For two of us to eat and one beer came to $32. Can't beat the price. The owner was quite friendly... more
Very welcoming place for two road-weary travellers. We had the "Meal for Two" which was a selection of a bit of everything -- our way to test a new place. Nice home-made samosas and deliciously soft nan, lamb, beef, veggies, fragrant basmati rice. Because it was between lunch and dinner (3 p.m.), the owner had time to chat -- he... more
The Taj Indian Restaurant in Owen Sound, ON has amazing food. The chef will tailor your dinner to your exact tastes and is very friendly. We make it a regular stop during the week.
Have picked up quite a few lunch specials to go & have never been dissapointed.
Also have bought frozen meals from them at the Owen Sound Farmers Market, great Samosas
Know little to nothing about Indian cuisine, but I found this place welcoming and tasty. It is small but at lunch it seemed that there were more take out orders than eat in, so it was not a problem.
My order was taken immediately and the food arrived very quickly. I ordered the luncheon special which was reasonably priced at...

This restaurant not only offers amazing food but also a great overall experience. We left feeling very satisfied and can not wait to go back. The owner is such a great man and is a gifted chef! We did not know him walking in, but felt like a friend when we left! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! GO,... more
I went for a visit to Owen Sound and wanted to try the new Indian Restaurant Taj . It is located right down town on 994 2nd Ave , E . Nice and clean , red brick front with high stools facing the road .The 3 tables for 4 covered with clear plastic , the plate was sticking to it... more
If you are looking for fancy decor and ambiance then family run Taj is not for you -- yet. But if you want authentic, delicately spiced dishes wirth pleny of variety at very reasonable prices, then this is the place! The service is prompt and attentive. The seasoning is very complex, intriguing, and not overly hot. (The entrees are rated... more
We had heard that this Restaurant was one of the best in Owen Sound and possibly in Grey/Bruce Counties. We had been told that the food was amazing and that the takeout was certainly worth the drive because the dishes are relative masterpieces.
Now, we expected great food because locals obviously had chosen this as a city favorite, but we...

Since opening earlier in 2012, have visited the Taj several times (never often enough!) and love the service, value and of course the food.
My favourites on the menu are the Baigan Bhartha and Pakora. Also really like Channa, Korma, samosa's...well pretty much everything on the menu.
Very very happy to have the Taj in Owen Sound !!!
We’ve eaten here on several occasions and frequently drive 45 minutes just to get take-out. The food is incredible, the service is friendly and helpful; we’ve never been disappointed. The chicken korma and the vindaloo are two of our favourites. I highly recommend the Taj to anybody.
Yesterday my husband and I found this terrific spot while doing errands in Owen Sound.
We both LOVE Indian cuisine. Since leaving Montreal last year, we've really missed our Indian food fixes so we are thrilled that the Taj is now on the Bruce Peninsula.
I had the Daal Tarka and Doug had the lunch special - Chicken Korma. Our...

My wife and I ate dinner here.
The selection is great and the owner Miah is very friendly and personable.
I had lamb vindaloo which was excellent as was my nan bread with coconut and spices. My wife had a vegetable korma dish which was just okay - we'll skip that one next time. Her Chicken Biriyani was perfect. Atmosphere...

Having eaten at Miah's previous restaurant in Collingwood, I was very interested to taste his food at the Taj Indian Restaurant in Owen Sound.
I was not disappointed and loved all the food that he served. Very good value for money. Also loved his new stainless steel serving plates.
Keep up the great food. It is a pity that I...

This is very good Indian food and great value. The naan bread is always fresh and wonderful.
I wondered in on their opening day and was treated to a free lunch - regularly a $8-9 value. I will definitely be back! You get lots of food (more than enough to fill you up), and a good variety for one serving. I was served chickpea vindaloo (much better than it sounds!), butter chicken (loved it), something with lamb... more
