The boys decided to keep their next choice of restaurant local and decided on the newly refurbished and newly managed Taj Mahal (previously The Akbar). Wednesday is banquet night, starter, main, side, naan or rice and coffee for £9.95 which sounded superb value.

Bring your own alcohol to the restaurant means that you don't pay the normally expensive prices for beer.
Poppadoms first, with four pickles, plenty of them too, included a chilli sauce with the usual mint sauce, mango chutney and onion salad.
Starters included three portions of Paneer Tikka for Simon, Lee and Tony, Paul decided on the Chicken Chat with a puree which on reflection was probably not needed. The Paneer scored 9 from all, a very good start to the meal.

Continuing the banqueting night Simon went for Chicken Sagwala, a medium spiced curry with spinach and a boiled egg. Paul followed Simon's lead and had the same. Lee and Tony opted for the Veg Balti, one vindaloo hot and one not! Tony went for mushroom rice, Paul a special rice whilst Simon and Lee went for a chilli naan and cheese naan respectively. A plethora of side dishes included a lot of spinach combined with other ingredients to give six in total.
- Sag Paneer
- Sag Aloo
- Sag Chana
- Sag Chandra (scrambled egg with spinach)
- Mutter Panner
- Mushroom and Potato Bhaji
Not unsurprisingly there was a lot left over, due to the over ordering rather than the quality of the food. Mains scored a solid 8.5 from Lee and Tony, Simon scored his at 8 as it lacked a bit of spice.
An excellent standard of service and exceptional value for money, worked out that the banquet night saves approximately £5 per meal. Far better than the old Akbar and well worth a visit to enjoy the good standard of food - in the top 10 of our restaurants visited.
