TAJ Indian Cuisine - TAJ Indian Cuisine

New offering at the Royalton /Hideaway Cancun. Nice flavorful menu selection in a comfortable setting. Tasty but not too spicy could be served warmer in the future.

My boyfriend and I frequently eat Indian food in NY so when we arrived at the Royalton Cancun we were excited to find Taj. The restaurant is beautiful but Sanjeev the head chef really went above and beyond to make sure we got what we were looking for and that we enjoyed it! His food was absolutely delicious. You can't find his kind of hospitality anywhere and he really made us feel special and at home. We will definitely be back to see Sanjeev during our next trip to Mexico! Thank you Sanjeev!

Delicious food, accommodating and friendly staff. We came here twice during our stay and enjoyed the butter chicken and paneer korma. Both sauces were perfect for dipping their naan bread in!

Being an Indian, our excitment after reading the reviews about Taj, was killed the moment we tasted the food. We ordered lamb Korma, Dal makhni and Vegetable biryani, food was cold and tasteless, there was no vegetables in the vegetable biryani. Since I could not give 0 star, the one I gave is for the ambience of the restaurant. Secondaly, it took almost an hour to get the main course and to add our woes the waiter was rude and unprofessional. We finally had to escalte the matter to the manager of the restaurant to get our food. There are much better restaurants to try at Hideaway Royalton Riviera Cancun. Avoid Taj.

Let me start with this, being an Indian and that too vegetarian my husband and I had very limited options. Taj was our only option for dinner. Our first day we didn't like the taste of the food as it was not made like Indian taste, chef Basant kumar personally came and asked us how he can make it better, since the chef himself is Indian he immediately understood what we were looking for. Since then till our whole stay he made so many different option as per our taste and crafted special items every day. Never ever seen such hospitality and consideration for each and every person as per their choice. A must must must place to come and have Indian food and to all the Indian visiting you will not miss home cooked food, you will just have to let the chef know. Special thanks to chef Basant kumar.

Horrible. Small portions that cannot fill you and the taste was not very authentic. We had to eat again.

Easily the best food experience of me and my wife’s entire trip to Hideaway at the Royalton. I let the staff know that I had a nut allergy and the chef came out personally and crafted me and my wife a meal to accommodate our food restrictions. When I say my sinuses were open and ready for business?! But we couldn’t stop eating! Come here; you will not be disappointed. Chef Basant Kumar is the GOAT.

The best à la carte restaurant at the Royalton Rivera Cancun, bar none. Chef Basant Kumar's authentic Indian cuisine is succulent; you will lick your fingers, guaranteed. We were seated in the beautiful arched wine cellar section, and our waiter Luis gave us amazing service. He brought us a mix of all the appetizers on the menu, including a tray of papadams with mint, chocolate, and mango dips. We also shared 4 main courses: the butter chicken, the vindaloo lamb, the chicken tikka masala, and the chana masala. All were delicious, served with a small side of perfectly cooked basmati rice. My partner and I shared the mixed appetizers and 4 main courses between us, and we're both pretty underweight so don't hesitate to order two main courses if your hungry. The mango sorbet dessert was also very good. All in all, we had a fantastic evening at the Taj. Reserve your places a few days in advance, especially during busy season, as it's one of the more popular à la carte restaurants on the resort.
