Mgmt is very good, they send you a emails that goes over what you need to do if u want to reserve a space for a bday party. If you bring in 20 people or more, they willlet the bday person drink free all night (via a wristband), but they wont give u the special til 20 really show (manager/doorman keeps track i guess). They also reserve a table/seat for your party, ...

Sundays they have a Soul Food Brunch menu from 12-7pm that is absolutely delicious. The BBQ wings are a must try as well as the Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich. Other things on the menu included Chicken & Waffles, French Toast, scrumptious Tilapia and more!! Definitely try the Peach Sangria or the Bloo...

Called alot of places and because of the amount of people(12), every where else wanted to do a pre-fixe menu and "special event".

Read More On Citysearch dproto 2/8/2010 - Mix and Mingle Rocked 2nite!We had a great time here at Taj 2nite. We stumbled upon it this Tuesday because it is usually the last thursday of the month but we are glad we did. We met one of the promoters named Ted and he invited us to next the next party he has at Taj as well as some of his other parties. This was a great kick off to the Christmas holiday.
Read More On Citysearch lancethechance 12/22/2009 - Great Place for a Corporate partyEvery year we have a holiday party which is usually boring and no1 wants to go here. But this year we had it at Taj instead of a stuffy "ball room" type of place. The DJ rocked and every1 got really tipsy *AWESOME OPEN BAR* The buffet dinner was cool and we all had a really good time. Next year i hope the holiday party is as fun as this year cuz im sure way more ppl will come!
Read More On Citysearch cmaddyrun 12/22/2009 - TAJ was rockin!!!I had a great night two weeks ago @ Taj. They were very courteous and extremely efficient w/ taking care of me. I did bottle service and was taken care of quickly, as were my guests. There was a line but we skipped everyone via the VIP/Bottle line. Once i was inside, the decor and atmosphere were both awesome. The DJ kept me dancing!!!! Service was great. I will definitely be back!!

Before the actual dance lesson my friends and i sat to eat and the service was great! Our waiter Farh was sooo handsome, with his high spirits, and sparky personality brought excitement to the begining of our night.
This is def a place i'm going to be coming back to.

Read More On Citysearch dashinglaci 12/22/2009 - Nice Crowd, standing outside.This has to be the worst place I've ever gone to. I rather go to the Ghetto China Club than this place again. For start, they don't give you all information when you call them. When I called them two weeks ago the receptionist didn't mention anything about guys paying cover or their door policy. Also, get ready to stand outside for no good reason. We waited over 90 minutes outside and decided to ...
Read More On Citysearch Vallens 12/14/2009 - Not Worth The Money We PaidI don't write reviews but after this experience I feel the need! The line was terrible and when you reserve a table you should be seated immediately. The crowd was not selective and anybody with any sort of dress was inside and I think ten percent was good looking. Alot of pushing and shoving was the norm for the night and it seemed that nobody had manners. Our waitress seemed almost annoyed we w...

A few friends and I went to Taj last Saturday night! The service I must say was pretty good. We paid $300 for two bottles of Moet... We didn't have to wait in line, free admission, and free coat check. The tables upstairs were too small...The music was COOL.. It was overcrowded...

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 ...

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...

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 p...

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 smal...

Read More On Citysearch nightlifebunny 2/25/2009 - DJ GETLIVE!!! Great party!!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!!

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!
Read More On Citysearch blondecutie112 2/24/2009 - great afterwork eventIve 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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Read More On Citysearch steffybyrd 8/18/2008 - The door girl stinks!!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.

The interior is tastefully designed, the menu is imaginative and different from any place else I have eaten for years. The staff were welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful. Check it out - you wont be disappoined.

When we booked a party, the party manager was so efficient and we felt they were going to look after us well and they did. What a great experience and a great location. I only have good things to say.

Funny that the last reviewer was there the same night we were and our experience was much more positive. Really liked the food and the management was very friendly. Ambiance was great, very cool.

Read More On Citysearch mgray78 4/20/2005 - Don't go!One of worst experiences I've had at a NYC restaurant. After appetizers, service completely disappeared. Dinner came 1.5 hours after appetizers. No explanations at all. Bus boy actually cleared away our table setting at one point because we were waiting so long. Dinner finally showed - cold. Is this restaurant Indian fusion?? I would have never known - food was totally bland. Finally, after payin...
Read More On Citysearch 3530 4/11/2005 - Pretentious and unsatisfyingDon't get me wrong, the decor is gorgeous. But unless you're rich, pretentious and anorexic, it's not worth it. My boyfriend and I went there this weekend for our anniversary. We each ordered a cocktail, an appetizer and an entree. While everything tasted fairly good, the portions were insulting. $24 for 6 bite-sized pieces of duck, a little pile of green stuff, and some whitish unidentifia...
Read More On Citysearch Flames21 3/21/2005 - BeautifulDefinitely one of the most beautiful places in the city. My girlfriends and I were there a couple of Saturdays ago having something late dinner and dancing. Before you know it the place was packed. Everyone there was suprisingly friendly from staff to patrons there. I'll definitely be back again.

Although it was rather quiet due to a NYC blizzard, I had a very pleasant experience. We were charmed by the well informed and engaging bartender and wonderfully spoiled by the waitstaff but still left to ourselves to enjoy the meal, without too much fuss. Kudos! And the cocktails were amazing!
Great for dates as there are some wonderfully romantic no...

My friends thought I was lame, but I asked what CD was playing. We already thought Josh the bartender was too cute, but he was also happy and charming and introduced us to the manager who went and faded the music to something else to get a title for little old me.

I then specifically asked for my change -much to his surprise and gave him ZERO. He then tried to do it to someone else in our party. Okay waitservice. Okay food.

Read More On Citysearch sueny 5/23/2004 - love this place!!!love the food and drinks at Taj! my friends and I had a fantastic time - got there for a dinner and stayed for drinks and music. the crowd was cool, too. It seemed like they have a very tough door policy - so the best thing is to come early to eat and then stay for the late night scene
Read More On Citysearch arianas 5/21/2004 - amazing food!i joined a friend for a dinner there and i could not believe how amazing the food was! We shared shrimp cocktail for app. (so fresh!) and we got lamb and halibut as main courses. Halibut with coconut broth is excellent!

Maybe I'm really out of touch with reality, but I think $11 for a gin/tonic is absolutely obscene! If it were a large glass or if I could have TASTED the gin, that'...

Although we had a reservation, our B-day party was seated about 45 minutes late. Our waiter was snobby and outright rude; he said getting us drinks after we paid our bill would be 'too much of a hassle for him'. Some members of our party were not let in - even after arguing with the doormen, wh...

First of all the waiter rushed us to order since he said the kitchen would be close, but an hour later they brought food to another group. I guess that was his attempt to turn over tables quickly . Another thing, the waiter gave us the wrong check and it took him awhil...

Read More On Citysearch angel2290 2/28/2004 - Rude Staff, DoormenService! Service! Service! Isnt that what Restaurants are all about Well this place lacks it big time. They are RUDE, OBNOXIOUS and the Doormen act like its the GHETTO. Don't even stand in line if you are not on the guestlist and if you are, plan to stand in line for at least 1/2. We had table reservations and still had to wait 45 mins to be seated. Lacks class. There are better places out there....
Read More On Citysearch rohan25 2/23/2004 - Great after-dinner loungeThis restaurant is really pretty. The food was good, small portions. Our waiter was not that helpful, looked kind of annoyed when we were asking him for suggestions. He spilled half my martini and did not even apologize. The after-dinner lounge was excellent. Great music. I would definately go back but I'll try a different waiter this time.
Read More On Citysearch Ginaa 1/6/2004 - Excellent..Granted, there isn't much of a choice when it comes to appetizers, entrees or dessert - our waitress was really friendly and gave excellent advice on the delicacies of the restaurant. It was romantic, with prompt service and excellent music. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed this place and look forward to going back for enjoying the lounge & it's party aura.

The decor, style, and feel of Taj are great; I was very excited about it from the moment I walked in. Unfortunately it is all downhill from there. The service is cold and unfriendly, which I have come to expect from places like this, but what I can't tolerate is being rushed. The food wa...
Read More On Citysearch rgaida 11/13/2003 - TERRIBLE!
the decor is nice enough, but the attitude of the staff sucks. despite calling ahead and being told we'd have no problem, my group was kept waiting in the rain for ages and then made to buy ridiculously overpriced bottles at a table rather than (almost as overpriced) drinks at the bar. i'm never going back!
Read More On Citysearch ihatetaj 10/19/2003 - ehh....Fusion restaurants confuse me. Either its done extremely well and very innovative or its down right robbery. This place was robbery!

This guy who looked like the mgr actually tried to point out empty space between us. I guess he figuredwhen the the f...

Read More On Citysearch lisapoot 8/27/2003 - Very nice place!I was pleasantly surprising going to this restaurant on my first visit to New York City. The atmosphere is great, and the lounge is full of beautiful people. The chicken is wonderful and the service is above average. The only down side is that it is kind of pricey but I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you are looking to impress on a first date.
Read More On Citysearch tludtke 8/26/2003 - A Surprisingly Good CombinationThere are many "in" places in the City that you fit the mold of 1) great ambience 2) so-so or worse food and 3) snooty service. Fortunately, Taj is NOT one of these places. We went to Taj on a Tuesday night, at the same time a private event was going on for a magazine. I figured we had run into our worst nightmare. As it turned out, the food was very good, with the snapper, the lobster, and t...
Read More On Citysearch hkizcute 8/13/2003 - Great surpriseI took my boyfriend there for a birthday dinner as a surprise and he loved it! The food was great (bombay fries, lobster, tenderloin) and the drinks were very original - favorite bar drinks with the restaurant's personal touch. The service was friendly. Our seat was so comfortable (a couch with lots of pillows) that we almost fell asleep. The ambience was both romantic and posh at the same time.

The food is a bit pricey, but if you pick the right things its worth it. The scallops appetizer is AMAZING, but the duck I had for an entree was just ok. The music got a bit loud around 9pm, but otherwise, the dim lighting and decor gave it a very sexy feel. I loved this place and would recommend i...
Read More On Citysearch cara104 8/4/2003 - Great night outGreat directly after work. Went on a monday at about 6 empty but was filling in as I left at 9. Gret comfortable atmosphere, quiet ambient music until the DJ got there then it got a little too loud. Good food for the price, on a date expect to spend no less then $100. Service was a little pushy, especially since there was no one in there.

The music is loud, especialy if they are doing a 'show'. You can't even talk when they are doing a show. The food is EXCELLENT! I was with a group of 6, and every entree and app was great - the dessert was OK. Drinks are way over priced at $10 for a stoly-o and cran, and the menu is a pricey too. Atmosphere is very fun...

Read More On Citysearch ejohnsto 6/8/2003 - Beautiful InteriorCame here for a friend's birthday this weekend and had a good time. The food is a supposed to be a fusion of Indian and American, but it was mostly American fare with a bit of spice. The dishes were also on the smaller side, and there weren't many menu choices. The best part were the beautiful round lounges that surprisingly fit many people and allowed for intimate conversations.
Read More On Citysearch toki 5/5/2003 - WOWThis spot is amazing. The food was incredible - the lobster dish, the chicken dish, and the lamb dish were so delicious and creative - I have been to the city's best restaurants and am not usually so impressed. The fact that Taj has apparently only been open for three weeks and has been booked solid speaks for itself. This is a must try!!!!
