The Taj Mahal at Crawley has been a torchbearer for authentic Indian cuisine since 1969 and has over time also gained repute for the nouveau style of cooking, which is fast gaining popularity. It has, since inception, developed a wide range of menus and trademark dishes that has people from as far away as Brighton and London visiting them regularly.

If nibbling on a variety of vegetarian starters is your particular thing you can order the platter that includes onion bhaji, batter fried dumplings with shredded onions among others. Meat lovers can order chicken samosas, made of spiced chicken wrapped in homemade filo pastry.

Try the gosht kaliyan, shredded lamb tossed with onions, tomatoes, black pepper and aromatic spices for mains followed by prawn biryani, a layered combination of fragrant basmati rice with tiger prawns, fresh herbs and spices. The mango lassi, a yoghurt based sweet drink to end the meal will leave you with a smile on your face.
