We went for the buffet dinner.
Go early so you get tables and wont have to wait.
The buffet is widespread with scrumptious options from starters, appetizers, salads, main course, breads, desserts.
Its worth the one-time experience
I recently dined at Shamiana in the iconic Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai.
The food quality was truly impressive. Each dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The menu offers a refined dining experience that lives up to the reputation of the Taj brand. The ambience of the restaurant is equally commendable — elegant, warm, and comfortable. The overall atmosphere makes it a wonderful place for both relaxed meals and special occasions.
However, the service experience was somewhat average and did not entirely match the standards one would expect from a luxury property. While the staff were polite, the food was simply placed on the table once it arrived, and we had to serve ourselves. This was a bit disappointing, especially considering the premium positioning of the restaurant. Even many smaller restaurants ensure proper table service, so naturally, expectations are higher at a place like this.
Overall, Shamiana excels in food quality and ambience, but there is room for improvement in service standards to make the dining experience truly exceptional and aligned with the prestige of the Taj Mahal Palace.
Food was fabulous.. ambiance was noisy because of huge crowd on a Sunday afternoon.. service was a little off by 1-2 waitress.
Overall it was good experience, but being a regular guest at Taj hotels, my expectation from Taj Mahal palace Mumbai was much more!
It was a shocking experience wth a hotel having so much of reputation. Looks like it's all hyped only.
To my Surprise, the Dining table was trembling due to uneven table legs. Heard a lot about Taj's hospitality; all went in vein that night. How come the Resturant manager didn't notice this. It's a catastrophic error on his part.
No one to attend or guide - We were six people and went on a weekend recently. And post having half of the meal I saw waiters serving starters in a similar looking like pans to many. I asked a guest, whether we need order this seperately or part is the buffet. They said it's part of the buffet. The waiter will serve you on your table as the first thing. I was shocked. I asked the restaurant supervisor about the starters and he said you didn't got it Sir ?? I was like what the hell. The lady who was assigned my table then was called and she served it immediately. How can they expect guest to know about it.
The mocktail bottle was lying empty in the buffet counter until I brought this to their notice. People were standing in queue waiting for the same. Not expected from a hotel like this.
Food quality and taste was decent. However, few items like lamb should be cut in smaller pieces for the ease of guest. I saw many guests struggling to take out a pieces from the whole lamb piece.
Hotel taj is preceded by its reputation and i got to see it in their restaurant too. The ambience and the hospitality of the staff is commendable. I had paneer tikka and pav bhaji and it was kind of okayish, if you are an Indian, you must request a high spicy level, otherwise you might find it a little less flavourful which i guess is suitable for international travellers. and the
