The most popular restaurant in Shivajinagar. Located in the centre of the market.
Taj hotel is a good family restaurant.
I had ordered Rumali Roti, Butter Chicken, Chicken Kabab, Mutton Biryani.
The dishes were very tasty. It's quite big, consisting of many floors and a floor for party function too.

Came To This 85 Year Old TAJ HOTEL After More Than A Decade And Must Agree That They Were Able To Maintain The Hygiene And Taste. Sheek Kabab, Beja Fry And Malai Kabab Is A Must Have Dish Here. Biryani Was Little Above Average But Mutton Peice Was Very Succulent 😋 ... Totally Worth Visiting.
Delicious recipes and price also not high, I love it

The menu of Taj proudly mentions they've been around since 1935. It's definitely seen more than 3 generations and countless patrons who loyally keep coming back for more.
A few hearty morsels and the juggernaut explains itself. The place perhaps had humble beginnings but it's quality and taste stand very tall and have passed the test of time.
Let's start with the Mutton Seekh kabab - the melt-in-the-mouth dish that stands out and I'm going to go out on a limb and say...not only is it the best I've had in recent times...but also the best in Bangalore by far! Lightly flavoured and gently grilled...it's succulent, bursting with well balanced flavour and really cushiony and soft. It does really set the standard for what a good kabab ought to be. Kudos to the chef who makes this with a lot of experience and love.
The Mutton Chaap was good. Well grilled and filled with taste. Definitely a dish to order. You'll enjoy it.
The chicken kebabs were just about ok. It's the standard kababs that you find at all Donne biryani places and although it wasn't bad, it didn't surprise or delight me.
The Mutton biryani we ordered was OUTSTANDING. It's the Bangalore Muslim biryani also called Bai biryani. But this was very well prepared, spiced just right and very tasty. I throughly enjoyed it.
A suprise item was definitely the 'Ande Ka Halwa' while you picturise it badly and it doesn't spring up a an appetising picture, do give this a try. It's actually a bread pudding, dunked in ghee and a complete delight.
The road that leads to to the restaurant is busy market situated on a one way street. Getting there is cumbersome but worth every bit of the traffic you're stuck in. Full 5 shiny gold stars to Taj restaurant...I'm heading there again very soon...and you should too!
Taj hotel is one of the oldest hotel in Shivajinagar, I think it almost 80years old restaurant in Shivajinagar and it's located in Bangalore.
The food taste was amazing and service also good but they need to improve ambience and cleanliness.
The owner are such a great hosts they guide nicely about food.
I went with my mom we had ordered:
Hyderbadi keema
Chicken kabab
Cyclone paratha
Seekh Kabab
Mutton biryani
Ghee rice

Last week I had been to 80 years old biryani joint,Taj Hotel. We took kebab it was absolutely fantastic. I had never tasted the kebab of that kind. Next we took mutton chops, again it was different from rest of the hotels and the meat was perfectly cooked. Then we took Mutton Sheekh Kebab it was so juicy and soft and I wanted to have more and more. Finally we got Mutton Biryani and I Don't know how to describe it, it was so delicious with meat. Then at last we took Ande Ki Mithai it was amazing I felt like having Mysuru Pak.
A legacy created and yet never fails to deliver perfected food, love the fact that the biryanis are slow cooked on wood fire. Totally recommend this place. The owners are such great hosts. Overall amazing experience.
The best Bangalore style biryani, probably the number one biryani of Bangalore, the authentic bangalore style,
My favorites Biryani, Mutton SHEEKH, Grill Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Paya Soup....................
One of the oldest restaurants of Bangalore and must try place for Biriyani Lovers.
I am dining in this restaurant since 1990. The mutton biriyani is one of the best in town, the rice and meat are cooked to the perfection. It has a big piece of tender, juicy and nicely cooked mutton and aroma of rice is really good. They will start to serve biriyani as early as 11 AM. The chicken kabab has a unique taste, the chicken is tender and soft and the masala layer on the pieces are crispy. It is yummy.
Biryani lovers alert😝it’s time to dash to this place. The biryani, the kebabs, the Parotta, Chicken curry and Phirni are pure Paradise, delectable dishes whose memories make me drool. It never disappoints. Ambience wise, this place is now undergoing a makeover and is quite comfortable, though the washrooms could be better maintained. But apart from this, Taj remains the one stop destination for biryani lovers☺️
The biriyani is short grained with mild flavors. The chicken pieces were good and peeling off the bone properly. The side tomoto curry wasn't much good. Ghee rice is also good. Service was decent and the interiors were a bit old school.

We were here for lunch and this place didn't disappoint. Their food is up to the mark, and the service was quick.
The food was pocket friendly, but you have to find your table on your own during rush hours.
Must try at least once.
Old school Muslim joint specializing in non-veg fare. Their mutton biriyani and mutton chops are a must-try. And their ande ka mithai in the dessert section is absolutely amazing. Was blown away by how good it tasted. Go there for the meat, probably among the places offering the best mutton dishes available in Bangalore.
The food here definitely takes me back to my childhood , recently made a visit after a very long time and I’m not disappointed at all, the tastes again takes me back , ordered biryani , kabab , roti , mutton chops and sheekh, totally worth it, if you want a proper Bangalore Muslim style biryani then this is the place. The atmosphere is quite noisy but it’s all fine I guess if you enjoy the food. Service is good.
This place serves decent and value for money food. Ambience is not great.
Must try their chicken shawarma if you visit this place post 3pm.

During my recent visit to the Taj Hotel, I had the pleasure of savoring their chicken biryani and kabab with a surprising twist of mayonnaise. My dining experience was quite enjoyable, and I would rate it a solid 4 out of 5.
The chicken biryani was a standout, with its rich blend of aromatic spices and tender pieces of chicken. The kababs, too, were flavorful and perfectly grilled, making them a delightful accompaniment. The addition of mayonnaise, while unconventional for Indian cuisine, provided a unique and tasty contrast.
The service at the Taj Hotel was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that my needs were met promptly. The ambiance was pleasant, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for diners.
However, there is room for improvement. While the food was delicious, some minor enhancements in presentation could elevate the overall dining experience. Additionally, a broader variety of dishes on the menu might cater to a wider range of preferences.
In summary, my visit to the Taj Hotel was a memorable one, thanks to the delectable food, courteous service, and pleasing ambiance.
Visited this hotel for the 1st time. The mutton biryani was very tasty, the mutton Sheikh kabab was very good. Disappointed with chicken kabab as it was not cooked properly. The price is reasonable and the staffs are very friendly and give good suggestions on the food and the quantity
It is one of the Old & rustic place in the city which is situated in one of those iconic locations. What can I talk about Biryani it is amazing here but the atmosphere to sit & eat is not worthy but get it parcelled & enjoy the biryani you will love it.
I have been visiting the place since I was a child. 30+ years now. When the setup was a small room.
I left Bangalore in 1998 and returned after 25 years in 2023.
In childhood, my parents used to bring me here for the delicious mutton Biriyani, Ghee rice and chicken kababs. It was always awesome.
Cut - after 25 years. I can solidly say that - it's still awesome.
The mutton biryani, ghee rice and chicken kabab is still outrageously delicious and simply out of this world.
The hotel still remains in its original place and not sold out to corporate greed and franchise models.
For the uninitiated, this place might not look flashy or staff might not be courteous as expected. But man, don't be fooled. The food compensates for any flaws.
This place is a wonder and legacy of Bangalore City. Hopefully it should be cherished for years to come.
Taj hotel had been my all time favourite place when I ever I suppose to be in and around Shivajinagar. The taste has not been changed from almost 9-10 years. Had this amazing chicken platter there. On my plate chicken biriyani, grill chicken and chicken sukka. My taste buds was literally dancing, had it when their was heavy rain in Bengaluru. It's a must try with family, friends and loved ones. About the price, it's very reasonable it cost around 500/- for 2 people. Parking is bit problem. .Kindly follow my food page in Instagram "mr.thindipotha" for more foodie stuffs.
