Royal Taj is one of Columbia’s busiest Indian restaurants, thanks to the quality of its food. Locals say you can’t say no to Royal Taj, whether you’re ordering a la carte or having the lunch buffet. Here you can enjoy the relaxed ambiance and the modern décor as you tuck into flavorful dishes served by cheerful staff. Order the lamb vindaloo, the chicken tikka masala, the vegetable korma or the chicken curry. Vegetarians and vegans will find plenty to eat here.
