Normally, I don’t go for Indian in shopping centres, lukewarm butter chicken or chicken tikka masala on a bed of soggy rice with a side of tasteless naan bread doesn’t excite me. However this place caught my eye when in Parramatta recently, the diners were mainly Indian, always a good sign for an Indian eatery. Plus, the menu had very little of the usual Indian takeaway stuff, and loads of dishes i’d never heard of before, including some Indian Chinese dishes. I was intrigued, so decided to order a vegetarian thali(several small portions of different dishes), as well as a naan. The naan was amazing, better than most places i’ve tried, and the various vegetarian curries in my thali were all pretty decent too, again light years ahead of most Indian places i’ve tried. Since they cater more to Indian palates than Australian ones the curries are spicier and more flavoursome, which is a good or a bad thing depending on your tastebuds, I personally think it’s a good thing. As has been said before they also stock a selection of Indian groceries, can’t really comment on these though as I didn’t buy any. Taj Indian Masala is located in Westfield Parramatta, on the 5th floor near Coles. They also have outlets in Homebush, Harris Park and Mount Druitt.

food — great naans and tasty indian fare service — service is quick atmosphere — none, this is in the mall, although not in the food court, so this is a quick bite place, not really a destination value — the 8.99AUD vegetarian platter that includes salad, two dishes, rice and naan, is a great value

Taj Indian Masala is an Indian Vegetarian tiny restaurant. The food is authentic and very tasty. I like trying different things when I’m there and have not been disappointed. Their curries are delicious and their Naan bread is soft. I like to order their thali as you can taste a huge range of veggies. It is sort of like a buffet for an individual. I especially love the accompaniments like raita and sweet they give with it. They also sell a small collection of Indian grocery items. Not exactly in a food court, but on the same floor, it is located outside Coles near the fresh food and vegetable market.
