Taj Restaurant – The Taste of India

What to Expect
Taj on Borrowdale Road serves a long Indian menu across a rooftop terrace, veranda and dining room. Lucius (June 2026) called the chicken tikka skewers “perfectly charred, smoky and insane tender”, for a dinner Lucius found flawless. Other 2026 visits were rougher: Ahsan (March 2026) said the butter chicken “tasted like straight tomato paste”, and Tsai (May 2026) was charged $8 for four cocktail-sized samosas, calling it “plain robbery”. Precious (2023) had a smoother visit, recommending the honey potato starter and a spicy chickpea curry with generous portions.

If you are looking for a great place to eat in Harare, Taj in Borrowdale is a must. I just had dinner here and the experience was flawless. From the entrance, I was totally in love with the Indian theme and aesthetic.

I visited Taj Restaurant today and unfortunately did not have a good experience. The brownie with ice cream was stale, dry, and barely edible.

So I actually didn’t dine in placed an order to go. The one star that I’m giving is for an appetizer we ordered. We ordered one order of chicken samosas. The owner happened to be sitting behind the counter in his office. Informed us that they were eight dollars for the order.

Was met at the car park by a waiter with an umbrella as it was really hot. Menu came immediately as i sat down. Waiter explained all the items on the menu quite well. Got the honey potatoes starter, which was bigger than i expected and very yummy.
