TAJ II

Way dissapointing. And such a rip off. I expected much better with so many good reviews.

Had my b-day party here last night. Huge mistake, DON'T DO IT! Arrived early (11:30) and still had trouble at the door. Apparently a $600 table reservation doesn't matter. We were instructed to wait in the "line" which was just a mob on the sidewalk, took 20 minutes to get in.

Once inside, there was a mandatory coat check ($3 per item). The decor was non-existent, they just turned off all the lights in attempt to create "ambiance". Can't believe I spent so much money at this dump. The pics online are really decieving.

The music was just OK, mostly old school hip hop, felt like I was at a wedding for a while. The crowd was just TRASHY. Hoochies in Forever 21 dresses barely covering ther lady parts, showing off all thier cellulite. Skeevy dudes just STANDING on the dance floor.

Was emailing with the promoter, Chris AC, for two weeks. What a joke. He promised "no door drama" and any one on my guest list would not have to wait in line. LIES! A group of friends who arrived later (12:30) were told to go to the back of line, which was of course an hour long at that point. He also said we would have a table on the upper level with plenty of room for my party of 12-15 ppl. Nope! We got shoved into one of the small tables downstairs with seating for only 4 ppl.

I managed to have a decent night only because I was with my friends. In short, I will never, ever go back here. You should not go either!

Pros: none

Cons: TRASHY crowd

I went here for my birthday last month. I had a good time only because I was with my friends but it would have been much better had we gone somewhere else. The music was boring and it killed my dance buzz. Besides the music, the place was okay. If I had paid a cover charge, I would have been pissed that I spent money to get into this place. I don't think I am ever going back and I don't recommend it.

Pros: Location. Other places to turn to that are near by.

Cons: Music Sucks

Posted 10/20/09

Ok so who knew that an INDIAN place owned by IRISH people would make great SOUL FOOD! lol It was a really good change from the regular eggs and toast from the deli around my house. oh and did i forget to mention that i got to watch the GIANTS and JETS game! Yea ill be back next sunday, gonna bring the guys instead of the wife next week!!

Pros: FOOTBALL!

Posted 10/17/09

Ummm the place was pretty cool. They sent out thank you letters today to say thank you for having my party here last night, that's pretty cool. I've had a few parties for myself and friends and this is the first place that emailed me EVER to say thank you! we didnt even get bottle service and they still said thank you. So i'm leaving a review because they were nice enough to thank me for coming to their cool spot. So thank you Taj lounge for having me and my party!

Posted 10/17/09

I never write reviews, but I celebrated my 40th birthday with friends, co-workers, and family @ Taj II last thursday, and I was moved to write THIS review. Every aspect of our evening was perfect. Our event coordinator Eddie, was phenomenal. He was professional, attentive, and true to his word he ensured that we would have a great time. Charles our bartender was a great sport, and Heather was terrific in meeting the needs of my guests. Our party was in the mezzanine, and it was spacious with great views of the club. The platters of food were plentiful and tasty. I will certainly return again and again. Kudos to Eddie and his staff. You guys are the truth!

Pros: Service, Food, Space, Music

Cons: None

Posted 10/12/09

I came to Taj for the first time on Friday night for my friend's birthday dinner and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The waiter not only gave us the dinner menu but the bar menu as well so we had more choices! The Taj Wings are spectacular. They are spicy yet sweet and the Bombay Fries were so good!! I had the Pomegranate Chicken for dinner and it was perfectly cooked and the pomegranate glaze was just right. I definitely am going back for dinner, or just for the Taj Wings because they're so addictive!!

I just wish the cops hadn't messed everything up! We were having a great time and the music was great and then they had to move the crowd out due to a capacity issue or something. This is why Taj lost 1 star. The staff was really nice and accomodating and very apologetic and they gave us a few suggestions on where to go and we ended up next door at Duvet and got in for free because they knew what was happening at Taj.

All in all we had a great night even with the cops trying to shut the place down and I will be coming back soon

Pros: great food, great service, great decor!

Cons: cops..

Posted 10/10/09

i helped my best friend plan his birthday party at taj this saturday and "due to building issues" we had to move our party. the reservationist called us and told us that their capacity was 75 people!! we thought we were screwed but then she offered to send us to their other club katra. she offered us a free table and a free bottle of champagne for all of our troubles and we also got to invite more people. she was really nice and made us feel like everything was going to be alright.

my best friend had the BEST time ever and is probably nursing a nasty hangover right now. they really took care of us and made sure everything was perfect. even though we had originally planned to go to taj everything worked out in the end. hopefully next time we'll be at taj.

Pros: nice staff

Cons: they moved our party

Posted 10/10/09

I had a great 21st birthday at Taj. I started planning the birthday weeks in advance because I had never thrown a birthday party. I got bottle service and everything that i expected from my conversations over the phone were done that night! No suprise charges or anything like that which was awesome. I was a little upset at first because i couldnt come in until 12am on the dot (ern i actually made 21) but after i got in i had the best birthday EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MY BIRTHDAYS! lol it was really great. The manager even sent us over a free round of shots when she found out it was my birthday! I will def be comin back soon :)

Pros: customer service, decor

Posted 10/03/09

So I'm not a real fan of going out because I hate super crowed places, long lines, and promoters that lie. So when my friends told me we were goin out I wasn't too excited. We were told 2 for 1 drinks and free until midnight on our guestlist, to my shock when we got in FOR FREE there actually were 2 for 1 DRINKS! That really made my night, plus the fact that there was a really sexy bachelorette party down the bar from us. I have to say that i really had a good time. The drinks were a little pricey but they were strong and good so it was worth the price. All in all i had a great time. Still not a "club" person but i can really see my self coming back to this place very soon!!

Pros: 2 for 1 drinks and free guest lists

Cons: a little pricey on the drinks

Posted 10/03/09

I recently celebrated my Birthday at TAJ on a Saturday night and it was one of the best birthdays I've ever had!

All of my friends had a great time.... No Drama, no complaints, and my boyfriend and his friends had no problems at the door....

The venue itself is beautiful, the crowd is upscale....
And the music was awesome... We all danced the ENTIRE night!

The promoters totally took care of me and all my friends... And from what I heard, the bartenders definitely werent shady with the pouring!

I had a table with a couple of bottles, and the promoter even gave me a free bottle of champagne =) The waitress was also really nice as well.

We've set up a bachelorette party here for next weekend... I cant wait to go back!

Pros: Music, Crowd, Ambiance

Cons: ?

Posted 08/03/09

I just wanted to start off by saying thumbs up to the people at the door for reinforcing the dress code. Many places let the wanna be thugs with baggy pants, Timberlands and hair rags in. But at TAJ they make sure you look the par. Once I step in mannnn the ladies look amazing, the DJ play all hits that make you wanna dance all night. The upper level is a great spot for a more intimate small party. This place gets an A+++++ everyone was on there P's and Q's..........

Pros: Great Drinks and the DJ was amazing

Cons: none

Posted 03/23/09

Attented a good friends B Day party here and was left in aww as to how popular this place was. Ive heard great things about this place but kept brushing it off. Next thing you know im walking up 21st street and my jaw dropped at the long line and crowds of people trying to get in. I had specific instructions on what to say to the door host who turned out to be a pretty hot mamma(Very Rarely to you see women running the door in NYC) anyways my girls had bottle service so we were able to bypass the bread line and get to the bar asap for a few shots before heading to the reserved table. Next thing I knew the DJ was banging hits, we pop'd a few more bottles and ........ well the rest is a blurr. Great night. This place has definitely been added to my places to be in the city this upcoming spring.

Pros: Overall great Vibe, Service, Crowd, and most important DJ.

Cons: Its toooo popular so bottle service is almost a must to get in.

Posted 02/24/09

This is a great place to have a party. The DJ on saturdays is AMAZING!!!! I recently had a birtday party here and the managers were very accomodating. Its super close to any train station and its pretty big inside.

Posted 02/24/09

Saturday i had my 25th birthday at Taj and the bartender was the best!!! Not only was he easy on the eyes, his drinks were great and he showed my friends and I a great time! We tried to get him on the bar dancing but, he said next time. WE WILL Be BACK!! The music was great but we got there too late for the drink specials. All in all fun was had but i must say the staff made the night!

Pros: No hassle, friendly bartender

Cons: drink specials are too early!

Posted 02/23/09

Ive been several times to afterwork networking events at Taj but Fridays Mardis Gras theme was fun. They even handed out beads to everyone to keep it festive. It was more of a singles party than some of the others and I got to meet some nice guys. The DJ played some 80s as well as todays music. It was a very nice event and i signed up for the newsletter for the next one.

Pros: comfortable event

Cons: parking after work

Posted 02/23/09

I went on Saturday for my birthday and it was so much fun. My group planned to club hop but ended up staying at Taj the entire night!! There was no cover early and an open bar until 11!! Add that to the second DJ that played and my night was great!! Except for the one short power glitch the Dj had, hes the best ive seen in a long time!! I recommend checking him and this place out!!

Pros: Music and open bar

Cons: there was a line

Posted 02/23/09

DO NOT GO HERE!!! For one the promoters told us "LADIES FREE B4 1AM" (I have the flyer to prove it). That was b-s. Half of my girls got there 11:30PM and still had to pay! The people at the door told the them the promoters lie just to get you there. The rest of us got there at 12:30am, but they held up the line until 1am, forcing us to pay! Once inside the bartender told one of my girlfriends that he had to charge her an extra $6 for using her debt card at the bar! When it was time to check our coats we were told coat check was "closed" and if we wanted to still "check" them it will be $5 instead of $3. If coat check is "closed" why the heck are you still offering to check coats.... it was another BS way of getting our money! I WON'T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO MY WORST ENEMY!!! I'M SURE THERE ARE MORE RECESSION FRIENDLY PLACES IN NEW YORK CITY!!!!!

Pros: Good music

Cons: Everything else

Posted 02/21/09

I went to Taj with my friends on Valentines night to celebrate being single and we had a fantastic time! There wasn't really a wait to get in (maybe because it was valentines??) but there was still a crowd. Everyone was friendly and made us feel at home which doesn't happen enough anymore. The music was great but though drinks were still NYC priced, we WILL be back!!!

Pros: Comfortable crowd and setting

Cons: Be prepared to check your coat

Posted 02/17/09

I had my birthday here and it was SO fun!

They were all so nice and accomodating to me which is sooo unusual for the city

Pros: trendy!

Posted 02/04/09

My co workers and I went to Taj for after work drinks and appetizers and the room was nice and cozy. There was a DJ but he wasn't overwhelming and kept the music chill but fun. The happy hour specials will keep us coming back!! The GM came over and invited our group to stay and experience the nightlife scene there and though we were reluctant, she was convincing. We tend to stick to after work gatherings instead of the club scene to stay away from the nonsense. We were pleasantly surprised!!! Everyone had a great time, we stayed until 2am!!
We will be back for Happy Hour for sure but i'm also planning my sisters birthday party there for the club!!

Pros: music,room,staff

Cons: i cant stay out that long anymore!

Posted 01/13/09

I threw a birthday party for my husband and his best friend at this lovely venue on Dec. 20th, 2008. It was off the chain! The ambiance, the feel, the music, the employees, the vibe, the crowd..everything was on point. The staff was very accommodating and every detail of our table reservation was handled with efficiency and class. Edwardo "Eddie" Romano, the event coordinator was a pleasure to work with. Very easy going and enjoys helping you get the most out your party experience. The table was great. We were right beside the dj, which was perfect for our guests..because we really know how to work a dance floor. Although Taj gets pretty packed, that did not hinder the vast amount of patrons' opportunity to cut a rug and show off their moves lol! All in all it was a great experience to plan and to actually see the work come full circle. 21st street has multiple party spots. I've had tables/thrown parties at both Duvet and Slate Plus which are steps away from Taj and this venue can hold its own. It exceeds both the other two, by ambiance and decoration alone. I highly reccommend this spot, and I will most definitely party here again :-) !!!

xoxo
Gigi Couture

Pros: Great DJ, fantastic ambiance, efficient staff

Cons: Round table seating isn't as functional -party wise- as you may think, unless you're there for dining purposes.

Posted 12/25/08

Taj becomes a club/lounge on Friday and Saturday nights and I've been there a couple of times but haven't tried the restaurant/food. Great place for dancing...the DJ plays a good mix of music. But I had the worst experience with their coat check. First off, their coat check is mandatory which costs $3...that's fine. But if you are going to step out for a smoke or to get some air and check out your coat, you will need to re-check your coat and pay $3 everytime! Are they really trying to make a business out of coat checking?!

Then, the girl at the coat check forgot to give me my ticket and when I was claiming my coat at the end of the night and explained that the girl forgot to give me a ticket, the 3 girls in there immediately got defensive and attitudes flew off the shelves and said "we don't forget to give tickets" (at which point my husband got irate because of their inefficiency). Maybe they can explain why they have an extra ticket taped on the wall which just magically matched the ticket # for my coat. Good thing I had my husband's ticket and told them to check the # right after that since we checked our coats at the same time! I didn't get any type of apology! I probably won't be going back there again!

Pros: Great music

Cons: Bad service (coat check)

Posted 12/13/08

Didn't have the opportunity to sample the menu, but the DJ is OFF THE HOOK! Music will keep your feet and body moving for hours. Small-ish space, but again, that DJ made up for any infractions. Great combination of music choices and mixes. Can not say enough about the spinner in the booth! Next Party - I'm there!

Posted 11/16/08

I recently had my launch party at Taj Lounge - launched my 6th workout video - Masala Bhangra Workout Back to Bollywood. We had many people show up for the event, we had our own DJ for this event and it was perfect. The location was great - the staff was so friendly. Whatever we needed, even at the last minute, the people at Taj were easy to work with. They made my event rock! Thank you Taj!

Pros: everything was great

Cons: they need more staff for events

Posted 11/07/08

Reserved a table for my birthday party on Friday, 10/24/08. Went there a couple of weeks before the party to set everything up with Ed the event manager, and I even got to pick a table right there. I was only required to buy 2 bottles for the table I wanted, I got 3 anyway. The price is reasonable and I got a free bottle of champagne with the package. The entire staff was extremely helpful and accommodating, and every single one of my friends got in without a problem. The place was just crowded enough, without having to rub elbows with anyone. Great music & atmosphere, and service make this the best birthday party I've thrown yet!

Posted 10/25/08

I had my 23rd birthday here back in June and after searching for months for the perfect place that wouldnt give me a hassle getting my friends in, and wouldnt be shady at the door as to how many people could come in under my bottle service.... I called up TAJ and they were so helpful. The lady gave me a great package.... 4 bottles of absolute and 2 bottles of champagne for 1200, tax/grat included. She gave me a booth that could fit 8 and guaranteed that all 15 of my friends would get in. Needless to say, i had about 50 people come to my party.... When people gave my name at the door, they were so accomodating! They didnt give people alot of trouble at the door, didnt make people pay to get in. i got there around 11, most of my friends got there by 12. I had some friends that came late, and the lady at the door informed me she couldnt let any more people in for me unless i bought another bottle. It was hard for me to argue with her since there were already a ton of people that gave my name at the door. But she was still nice enough to give me another bottle of absolute discounted at $200. The waitress at my table was always there if I needed anything.... when it was time to pop the champagne, instead of needing 15 glasses, i needed like 30 and they gave me no problem getting the extra glasses and pouring it out for me. The best staff i've encountered so far in NY.... would definately have another party there. Think it was my best birthday yet :)

Pros: Bigger than it looks, Good DJ on Saturday, Accomodating Staff

Cons: None.

Posted 09/30/08

I had the pleasure of being invited to this lounge this past Saturday(9-13). My friends told me the place was beautiful but I had no idea how incredible it was until I walked in the door. Everything about your place was fantastic and I made sure to look everywhere. I think the best part were the workers, the food and that big tv above the room. During the dinner quite a few of us had no problem looking straight ahead and watching the game. :)

I even took a few cards to pass along to my friends and can't wait to return.

Posted 09/22/08

The evening was perfect. It was such a pleasure to have my surprise
birthday party at Taj. The space was perfect, large enough, yet small
enough to be intimate. It was an evening i will never forget and
will treasure always. The food was absolutely delicious and the wait staff were efficient and took care of all our needs.

Thank you so much for providing a space with elegance and great service that made my birthday celebration a huge success.

Posted 09/22/08

You don't know me but I attended a party at Taj Lounge on Saturday, hosted by a good friend of min. I just want to let you know that this restaurant was beautiful, mainly the ambiance. The seating and space was comfortable. Most importantly, our waiter was excellent. He was cordial and VERY patience with us. He was there to make sure everything was moving smoothly but at the same time not intrusive. He deserves a bonus and acknowledgment for being an excellent host of your establishment.

Thanks for making a wonderful party possible.

Pros: Food.Service.Ambiance

Cons: None as far as I saw that night

Posted 09/22/08

I intend to send a card thanking everyone but every little bit of praise counts. Taj has the best Events Coordinator I have dealt with in a while.He remained professional at all times, never once was he rude with all my continuous calling, not sure of how many guest I would have, and even on the day of the event you were kind to my guest as they entered in and out of the lounge. " Far "..... was absolutely amazing, under all the pressure " he never cracked" and followed all my crazy request to the " T ". All my guest had a great time I would like the name of your assistant, I think she is your assistant. She is Latino or Black reddish colored hair. She was very helpful and kind to my guest. Throughout the evening I saw her make an appearance every once in a while to make sure things were running smoothly. Even though you want remember their faces, several of my guest and friends will be back ( including me ).

I have a B'day coming up soon. Who know's you might see myself there LOL.

Pros: Events Department, Staff, Nightlife

Cons: None.....Service to the T.

Posted 09/22/08

I planned an impromptu get-together here one night for 20 people. I walked in with no reservation, but the staff (Edwardo, Ruth, Delores) was more than accommodating and I was able to set up a nice little event -- such a rarity in NYC! They treated everyone like VIP, and my friends had a blast. So when it came time to plan my 30th for 50 of my nearest and dearest where else was I going to go? And I'm getting the hook up even though I planned everything a little late in the game! Edwardo could not be better! Plus, the decor/vibe is sophisticated and chill, the spot is very spacious (high ceilings), and the drinks/food are reasonably priced. FANTASTIC spot!

Posted 09/09/08

Finally somewhere for the grown and chill!! This place has great afterwork happy hour drink specials, good food . The music is chill and there is no hassle with service. I would say go here if you are looking to just chill and vibe. The food is good but don't expect it to be Indian.(which was actually better to me). Check it out! Me and my girlfriends will be back!

Pros: vibe,happy hour

Cons: Parking...had to move car at 11!

Posted 08/21/08

Made dinner resorvations for my girls B-Day. Now i just want to say that im not a fan of indian food so i was a little hesitant but Carla insisted on going here. So i took my chances and luckily everything worked out. Turns out the food isnt indian, its just the spices, LOL if that makes any sense. Anyway, they also had a decent night life. This was a complete surprise to me as i had made table resorvations elsewhere but when i saw the truck load of bachlorettes and b day parties starting to show up, literally every table was flooded with bottles by midnight. So on my way out to have a cig the hostess breaks down a deal so that i could just stay here and party. Not economical by any means but hey its NYC. She did give me a better deal then the other club and made sure to give line privledge to all my friends that came in late. Hands down they know how to make something from nothing. Even the owner took time out to stop by and wish Carla a happy b day and have a shot with us. Very personable, Good looking crowd, bangin D.J. the list goes on and on. Made my job setting up my girls b day a breeze. Thanks Taj. Ill def be back.

P.S. Try the Tuna......... seasoned to perfection.

Pros: Crowd,Service, Food, Music, Did i mention service.

Cons: Too many reasons to spend money........lol

Posted 08/19/08

Was on 21st street today and remembered that I've been meaning to write a review for Taj for a couple weeks now.
Went there about 3 or 4 weeks ago, on a sat night, and was amazed by the service I got at the bar. Normally, I go out to clubs and just dance because I don't feel like waiting 20 minutes to get a drink from the pretty but incompetent barstaff...
Let me tell you that that is not the case at Taj. These bartenders were CRAZY FAST! Even though the bartender I was ordering from was doing about 20 things at the same time, she had the time to joke with me and gave me a tip to remember their names. She told me to remember the sentence "justin timberlakes p*ss..." (for Jenn, Troy, Pete). I thought that was hilarious!
What a well oiled machine Taj!!

Pros: Great bartenders, great dj.

Posted 08/18/08

Hate to say it, but the door girl ruins the place. She is pretty nasty. Very bad attitude. The place has potential but she ruins it before you go in. I wouldn't bother... the drinks are expensive too!

Pros: none

Cons: Rude door girl

Posted 08/17/08

Friday Nights at Taj is a fun and great place to party. The music is great, they play a variety of everything! The service and bartenders are quick to help and serve you. The people at the door are very polite and friendly. The crowd is very mixed and diverse. So, if you're looking for a place to party or to throw a party of your own..Taj is a great spot, I highly recommend it!

Posted 08/17/08

Just wanted to say that the place has potential but the girl who collects money on saturday nights is just plain old main and nasty. I feel that the person who is letting you into the place should be poliet and nice and make you excited to come in. Instead she rolls her eyes, gives you a hard time, and makes comments about your outfit. Not cool in my book.

Pros: good music

Cons: Nasty front girl

Posted 08/14/08

I went tonight for an after work party and the place was great. The DJ kept me guessing with the new school and old school tracks. They had happy hour specials and when that ended, they had free flavored malibu drinks for awhile. It was definatly a nice setting for dinner and drinks while getting out of the rain!! I was a little confused by the hawaiin themed group that threw the party, but it worked. And if it gets me free drinks....sign me up!!

Pros: Drink specails and music!!

Cons: I had fun, no cons

Posted 08/13/08

My friends decided today they would take me out for my bday and couldn't get last min reservations for a party of 15 without getting pre-fix!!! We found taj and they told us there would be some party so it may be loud with a DJ. We had a ball!!! The server kept bringing us cake shots and making us dance. For last min, it was probably the most fun Ive had.

Pros: took us last min!!!

Cons: parking rules!!

Posted 08/13/08

I would recommend not going to this place on a saturday night. The staff has a bad attitude. On a monday night for Salsa fun. On a Saturday night do not go. The girl who collects money not so much. Rolling her eyes, making comments about not being stylish enough. Who does she think she is?!?! I would not go back on a saturday night. Drinks are way to expensive anyway.

Pros: Fun on a monday for salsa

Cons: Staff that collects money insults guests.

Posted 08/12/08

Went to this place on Monday for Salsa and had the best time!!! We took the lesson before dinner and learned some new shine steps. The band came on later and there was a performance. The vibe was totally different from what I expected, everyone was there to have a good time!! I will be back!!

Pros: music and vibe

Cons: seating to rest!

Posted 08/11/08

This place is beyond pretenious!! The only reason we went was for a friend's birthday and we were on a "premier" guest list. They claimed that it would be free admission before 11 pm and open bar for vodka mixed drinks between 10:30 and 11:30. We got to the bar at 10:50. The line wasn't bad at all, but the people at the bar would not let us in until 11:01 making sure we would have to pay the $20 "discounted" admission. I spoke with the girl who was taking the money, who rudely yelled at me and got very worked up. I've never experienced such rudeness. We went in only because it was a friend's birthday. Normally I would have just left. The drinks were $10 or more (which I know is typical for a NYC bar) however, since we had to pay the $20 to get in, no one wanted to drink anymore. I asked the bartender about the open bar who said he was never told this and "sorry" but he can't do it. (even though it was only 11:02 at the time). However, he was really nice and gave me a free shot. He was the only good thing about the bar. The girl at the door is horrible!! She should learn who to talk to people and get that stick out of her butt. On a different note the music was good too. But that didn't make up for the girl who collects money. Please do not waste your time going there on a Saturday night.

Pros: Decent music and nice bartenders

Cons: Over priced drinks, rude people at the door, snobby, and does not follow through on promotions

Posted 08/11/08

The girl who collects money on Saturday nights is a total POS. She commented that I was wearing flip flops when on this website it says they don't care. Mean while I was wearing a really nice outfit. Ughh so rude!! Plus she had the worst attitude, a "I'm better then you". Jeez, its a bar where people want to have fun, calm down!! The drinks are way over priced and the cover for guys makes it not worth going in. Don't go there!!

Pros: Music

Cons: Rude people at the door, over priced drinks, high cover to get in

Posted 08/11/08

I had my birthday party at Taj 2 weeks ago and I was able to work with them and book Dj Precise at the venue. The staff was awesome from the manager to the bathroom attendant. Some of my guy friends had an issue because they wore sneakers but the doorman accommodated my request as I was turning 30 and this was BIG DEAL! Some of my guests did have to wait on the line because they arrived late but they eventually got in. I recommend getting there ON TIME but it was a great night. I highly recommend it.

Pros: DJ booking, Staff, drinks

Cons: Lines after 1am, some shots are expensive

Posted 08/11/08

I came here last night for Raphael Saadiq's Listening party and it was such a great event. I tried a couple of the signature cocktails and the Taj Wings which were great. I forget the name of the cocktail that was really tasty. It was like a spicy martini but it was really good! The crowd was great and very upscale and the place was beautiful! I will most def be back soon!!!

Pros: crowd and decor

Posted 08/06/08

I came through Taj a week ago for appy's and drinks at a friends B-day party and had a great time. The waitress was on the ball with our table, drinks were GENEROUS and the food was great. We had platters upon platters of food, and if you like crab cakes, they are a must to try!
I'll be back definately in the future :)

Posted 08/06/08

I went to a bday party in the VIP a couple of weeks ago and we had a great time. We had dinner at 9:30 and then stayed for the late nite party. The dinner was great. our waitress was really nice and she recommended the crab cakes and pomegranate chicken. GREAT CHOICES! After dinner more friends joined us and we had some bottles and partied the night away! The DJ was like a master at mixing!! He played EVERYTHING! From pop to rock to hip hop to r&b we danced the night away! I?m going back this Saturday for dinner with my guy and I?m sure that I will have another great night and some more tasty POMEGRANTE CHICKEN =)

Pros: POMAGRANTE CHICKEN, SERVICE

Cons: none

Great place! Really pretty! Went for afterwork drinks with some friends on a Tuesday night and we had a good time. The drinks were good and so was the service. Not much more to say...I wil be coming back to try the dinner though.

Dont get me wrong, i hate to be in an over crowded room but when you get service the way i got last friday you cant help but appreciate it. Its good to know some places still remember that custermer service is the corner stone of making us happy. Thanx to the managment for being attentive and ensuring that although it got a bit crowded we still had a great time.

Pros: Speedy Service and Customer Understanding

Cons: A bit too crowded
