| Buffet selection, June 2016. |
We returned to Taj Grill, this time (5/25) for dinner, for the first time in a while. Above and below is the Lamb Saagwala, tender cubes of lamb with a rich blend of spinach, spices, and, I'm pretty sure, ghee.
Above is Taj Grill's Baingan Bharta, fire-roasted eggplant with masala blend. Below is their Garlic Naan.
Above is Taj's Chicken Biryani, the saffron and spice blend quite evident on the nose and tongue. Below, some of everything on my plate. The father of this family owned three restaurants in San Francisco, sold them, then his sons opened this one. They use the father's recipes, and most of their menu is North Indian, but Taj Grill has their own approach worth checking out.
Surprisingly good Indian restaurant in Vallejo. We've been here before, when it first opened, for dinner. Pretty sure we had a lamb curry & chicken tikka masala before. Today we hit the Lunch Buffet, which, at $8.95, is one of the best bargains in Vallejo, especially considering the calibre of the cuisine at Taj Grill.
The Saag Paneer at Taj Grill is one of the best versions I've had: clearly made with ghee, the cheese has great flavor & texture, and the spinach tastes fresh. They had a nice looking salad on the buffet, but with such good Saag Paneer, that's kind of redundant.
I guess I've had so many dial-it-in versions of Dal, I'm used to ignoring it, but not here: perfect blend of spices with the natural nutty umami of yellow lentils. Spot on. Same deal with the Tandoori Chicken. This version was flavorful and not totally dried out, which is usually what I've found. Gotta be the case that they don't put too much out at a time.
Soya Balls. Ever encounter that dish in an Indian restaurant...or anywhere? Essentially balls made from Textured Vegetable Protein, served in a nice curry. Most of the rest of the buffet was a mix of stuff along these lines, several with chicken, some with vegetables, and what was the oddest selection of all, Meatballs. Tasted like a typical Meatball served in tomato sauce with spaghetti, but I'm pretty sure that was not ground beef (lamb would be my guess).
Quite clearly, Taj Grill has great options for vegetarians, one of the only examples I can think of here. And not just a settle for less option: these are exemplary.
