Whitby Taj - Porirua

We loved this latest visit to the Taj, wonderful food. Good portion sizes and meat in the dish . We went twice when it was first opened and were left disappointed for what we received and the higher prices to other Indian restaurants we visit. Glad we have given it another go.

Delicious food, great service that's why we keep coming back again and again and again....

5th visit back and every time met and exceeded expectations. Staff friendly and attentive. Quality of food just great and tasty. Will be back for more!!!

Despite no longer living in Whitby area we still rate this our favourite Indian restaurant in all of Wellington/Kapiti and make a point of detouring here at any chance. They'll be our FIRST order now that Level 3 allows us to enjoy their yummy naan breads and Navratan Korma. YUM!!

Really friendly staff and very tasty meals.<br/ We had the lamb biryani, Rogan Josh, almond chicken and chicken Tikka Masala, some garlic naans as well as a mixed platter to share. All these meals were definitely cooked to a high standard and were scrumptious. I find it slightly disappointing though when you see restaurants using ready made pastes instead of using spices to create their own special blend to create a unique taste and unfortunately the Whitby Taj uses pastes.<br/ I also thought that given the price of the mains that rice would have been included like most Indian restaurants but we were told that rice had to be purchased separately.<br/ The ambiance of the restaurant was great thought and cleanliness was top notch.<br/ Will we return??...... not sure, still haven't made up my mind.<br/ <br/ Food 7.5/10<br/ Customer Service 10/10<br/ Cleanliness 10/10<br/ Price 6/10
