About Taj Mahal Authentic Indian Restaurant

Tucked off the main strip in Daylesford, this converted home dishes out hearty North Indian cooking when regional weeknight options run thin. Diners point to rich butter chicken—often dubbed liquid gold—alongside blistered garlic naan and crisp samosa chaat straight from the tandoor. Between rooms opened up for casual family seating, an autonomous cat-eared robot wheels out steaming curries to the table.

  • Novelty robot table service: An autonomous cat-themed food service robot wheels piping hot curries and naans straight to diner tables.
  • Rich North Indian classics: Generous portions of butter chicken, chicken korma, and fresh naans satisfy hearty appetites on chilly regional getaways.
  • Reliable weeknight dinner spot: Remains reliably open on weeknights when neighboring town eateries and kitchens often shutter early.

    if you're planning to order masala tea. I recommend order about 15 minutes before finishing your meal as we had to wait over 20 minutes for ours, but it was worth the wait.
