Taj Mahal - Manosque

I have come this restaurant every few nights for a month now and it is consistently good food. I have tried many things from the menu and they are all lovely and fast service. The atmosphere is very pleasant with soft background music and the lighting is not blinding like in some places. The restaurant is lovely decorated and the owner is extremely nice. I love it!

We've been to this restaurant several times now and have tried various dishes .. we were never disappointed .. the service is pleasant

I was recently staying in Manosque with 2 other work colleagues as we were working in the area. After seeing this place on trip advisor we decided to go on our last evening. When we got to our table we were given a glass of fruit juice each while we looked at the menu. The menu didn’t have a great choice of curries however we are from South Shields in the UK were we have lots of great Indians with plenty of choice. We all ordered onion bahji starters, 2 chicken tikka masala, 1 chicken madras, rice and naan breads. We got popadoms and pickles which were nothing special, the popadoms had cardamon seeds in. When the onion bahjis arrived it was just a tray of onion rings on a bed of red cabbage and no sauce. This is totally unacceptable really. They had very little taste and it was probably one of the worst starters I’ve had in any restaurant. The naan breads arrived with the starter so just sat going cold while we waited for the main course, however one of the reasons this review has 1 star is because of the naan breads. They were very nice and seemed to be the only fresh food we had. The curries arrived and straight away one of my colleges asked to have chicken breast in the madras instead of the 2 chicken legs as he was unaware it was served with chicken legs. Within 30 seconds he had a curry with chicken breast. All 3 curries were loaded with salt and this was pretty much all that could be tasted. The madras tasted pretty much the same as the tikka masalas and the tikka masalas were just like a microwave ready meal curry with no cream, nothing at all like a tikka masala. The kingfisher beers we had were expensive considering they were small bottles and on the menu they were just described as Indian beer. All 3 of us very disappointed asked for the bill. We were given some sort of ginger shot and the bill arrived with a bowl of liquorice and some leaf cigarettes. The total was over 100 euros which we feel was expensive for the quality of food we received, like I say a cheap microwave meal would be better quality and passing off onion rings as an onion bhaji too. What I’m guessing is this place is fobbing the French people off from the area with cheap, poor tasting food because they aren’t used to Indian food or proper Indian food anyway. Like I say I’m from an area which has lots of great Indian restaurants and I’ve been to many Indians elsewhere but this is definitely the worst of the lot.

Had a great dinner with authentic, excellent indian food. The nan was absolutely delicious. Loved it. I surely will be back.

I have been there always with family, India itself multicultural, I am vegetarian, although whenever we ask something out of Menu especially for my 3-year-old son, I have been delighted that Mukeshbhai (Owner) had always take care of our demands. It is difficult to find authentic Indian food teste in Manosque. They have made my day.
