    I never imagined I'd bother to write a review about delivery food, but here I am. An on-going kitchen remodel has unfortunately meant four straight weeks of take out or delivery food. We initially went with BG's, which has long been our "go-to" restaurant for good quality, quickly delivered fast food. The quality of their food and the menu diversity has always been a cut above local competitors, and they've been reliable for years. Last month, however, things seemed to have gone horribly awry (under new management, maybe?), with serious problems in 6 of 8 orders placed over a 2 week period. These include, but aren't limited to: several orders that took over 60 minutes for delivery (and not during peak hours); 4 orders which had items missing from them; 3 orders which contained burned food; and 1 order which was just plain the wrong order ("uh.. somebody musta delivered yours to another house - do you want this one or what?"). Customer service is beyond awful, absolutely non-existent. It's sad, because BG's food really was quite decent for take-out, their baked ziti was fabulous, and they used to get your food to you in 30-40 minutes. Alright, so this is supposed to be a Taj review and here goes: best service I've encountered in Binghamton. Polite, prompt (30 minutes), well-packaged delivery. The food is.. well, let's call it a 'mixed bag' - the vegetable curry was sub-par (mushy, and tasted like something that came from a Sysco truck), the chole passable (points for spicy, though), the mango lassi quite good, and, ironically, the condiments surpassed the entrees - the little containers of green sauce (vibrant, and with a wonderful complex layering of flavors) and some kind of red hot/sweet schmear were fantastic, and went beautifully with the nice still-warm naan. The uninspired Curry was overpriced, but overall I recommend Taj, and will order from them again.

    My coworker and I couldn't wait to discover whether or not Binghamton had good Indian food. Upon arriving and seeing the empty buffet, we were a little worried. The gentleman behind the counter informed us that it was rough neighborhood and customers weren't being honest, so they now do a buffet type meal where they bring you additional plates from the kitchen. We were skeptical, but pleasantly surprised. The gentleman said, "Please stay; the food is very good; you will not be disappointed." He was right. The veggie buffet is my favorite - the spinach is amazing. The meat is prepared authentically, so there are a lot of bones, but it is good. The pickled ginger and green sauce are addictive. Customer service is a huge deal to me and I love the attention we get when we go. The gentleman is very kind and respectful. This is definitely one of those restaurants that you can't judge a book by it's cover. Go in, try the buffet, and you will leave with a very happy mouth. ;)

    This little restaurant is a gem in Binghamton.: This restaurant may be small but it has delicious Indian food. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and the family and staff are extremely friendly. The combination of the quality food, comfortable surroundings and kindness of the staff is a definite invitation to come back. I have several friends that have just arrived from South India and think this is the best Indian food in the area!!!
