I had bread class on Saturday and we didn’t get back until around 5:30pm. I wasn’t very hungry because we ate a late lunch and it seemed like our lunch lasted forever. Honestly, I was thinking I would be able to just skip dinner.
BUT….by 7:30pm I was starting to get hungry. Jason called me and when I mentioned dinner, he said he was kind of hungry too. Then somehow TAJ came up in our conversation about dinner. The next thing I knew, we were on our way to TAJ.
Jason had never been, and I had only been once before so we were both pretty excited. I even remembered to grab my camera so I could get pictures for my blog post.
AND!!!! I remembered to take a picture of the outside!!! 
The first time I went to TAJ I ordered the eggplant curry. Oh. My. Goodness. Very yummy!
Jason and I looked over the menu and we decided to order a few different dishes and share everything. So, we ordered the Shrimp Salad, Chicken Tikka, Chicken Masala Curry, Garlic Nan, and Almond Nan.
Shrimp Salad
Chicken Tikka
Almond Nan
Chicken Masala Curry (level “HOT”)
Garlic Nan
Everything we ordered was very tasty. Their curry seems more tomato based compared to other Indian restaurants I have been to, but it was very good. I don’t think we had anything left when we were done. Hmmm….maybe I should have taken a picture of our plates after we were done. Empty plates are always a good sign.
Their menu is in English too, which is another plus. 
They are open for lunch from 1100-1430, and then for dinner from 1700-2130. Their phone number is (0827)23-6709. They do speak English.
To get to this wonderful Indian Restaurant, go out Main Gate. At the first light turn right. Follow that road and go over the bridge. Pass Mike’s Tex Mex, and at the 2nd light after Mike’s, turn left. Go up the loopy over pass. At the light, turn right (like you’re heading to the train station). When you get to the rotary, make sure you are in the left lane. As you’re going by the rotary, you’ll see Coco Curry on your left. Turn left down the street right next to Coco Curry. Follow that road all the way to the end. At that light, you should be able to see TAJ across the street. They do have parking available. If you know your way around Route 2, TAJ is located right off the 2, going away from McDonald’s towards Otake.
If you like eggplant, I say go for the eggplant curry! The Chicken Masala was very yummy too though. Personally, I like to order different dishes and share them with my dinner date. The prices are pretty reasonable too. I think for everything we ordered, it was about 2,000yen. According to their sign outside, they also offer sets where you can get chicken curry or pork curry and nan or rice for 790yen. Not bad at all.
Give TAJ a try and let me know what you think!
