Food was well presented, my pita was a little dry and lamb a little chewy but still good.

Very bland food. Service was acceptable. Atmosphere was odd, but not unpleasant. Good for a quick sit down meal, but not a have-to visit restaurant.

My very first visit on the evening of March 18, 2024 was just for takeout since my sister could not join me for a sit down dinner at this Restaurant. I ordered three Entrees. I have eaten only one entree as of last night, the Lamb Shank on Rice. It was excellent. The meat was very tender and not dry or overcooked. The taste was delicious. I’m looking forward to partaking of the next Entree today. The Owner’s son was very pleasant and quite helpful on the phone. Unfortunately, they only had 2 brochures about their menu & locations, etc. I was hoping to share the info with others. Good place to eat, good variety, tasty food. Nice convenient location for me & my family. Will stop by sometime in the near future for a sit down dinner with my sisters. Thank you Taj Ali. ?

Since we discovered Taj Ali's, we've been hooked on their gyros. Today we finally tried the chicken Tikka plate - YUM! Tender, beautiful seasoned & cooked chicken, with excellent humus!! Since we generally come after the lunch rush, we had a wonderfully quiet atmosphere, just a few other tables filled. Great service/great meal/great time!

I really like this family establishment where both the mother and children work; it's truly wonderful. I always support such places with great warmth. The service was excellent, and I appreciated being treated as a friend, a buddy, someone more than just a passerby, but as someone who can feel at home. The sweets were very tasty, especially the Russian Cake. The tea was delicious, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I'll support this establishment with five stars and wish it growth and prosperity.I love this family run place where both mom and kids work, which is great.

I've been here 3 times for takeout and to dine in. Delicious food. My favorite is the Chicken Tikka. I love a few middle eastern cuisine restaurants in town but this is now our go-to. You are missing out if you have not been here yet.

We just finished DELICIOUS carry out from Taj Ali - my husband had the chicken tika - the roasted tomato was fresh and full of flavor and the chicken was so tender. The house made hummus is creamy and well seasoned. I had beef shawarma SAJ and it was fresh, hot and perfectly seasoned. The star for both of us was the garlic sauce. I could see eating it on EVERYTHING. So glad to have this local business just down the street!

Glad we finally got around to trying this restaurant. I got the chicken tikka and a side of falafels. All were delicious! The free tea to accompany the meal was really nice. Service was a little slow the evening we went and our group’s meals all came out at different times. But overall the food and customer service were really good, so 5 stars! Will be back!

Took my family who never had this kind of food and they all loved it. The presentation was beautiful but the taste was even better. The icing on the cake was that the staff was friendly and attentive to your needs.
