Mayur Indian Kitchen on the Sanzhi beach is my favourite one as I have eaten here a couple of times with my friends and their families. This is the best near to Tamsui area. You can enjoy the cuisine next to the beach and the vibes are awesome.
I’ve been meaning to get there for a while, but every time I’m in the area I’m on a bicycle, and filling a stomach with Indian food (or any restaurant food - nothing against Indian!) wouldn’t be the best for riding. Maybe when things cool off a little.
Overpriced and not authentic Indian food. It’s an interesting attempt at upscale fusion with a nice view, I guess, but if we are talking just good Indian food, the regular Saffron is where it’s at.
To be fair I’ve only been to the original once, so perhaps I experienced a bad day in the kitchen. I’d give it another try, but it’s an expensive risk.
Also, there’s no way Saffron is “authentic Indian food”. That’s ridiculous.
Always went for the Kofta kebab myself, easy to make and the rest of the ingredients are at Costco.
Saffron is excellent food, I enjoy a good vindaloo and so far if I recall correctly the Taj did that best (the one in Shr Da rd?) but last time I went to Safron they had a price hike and bang for buck unless I am charging as an expense, I don’t think so.
Taj was, for many years, an undistinguished joint in one of the alleys just south of Zhongxiao East Road. For a while now, they’ve been up near the Breeze Shopping Center just off of Civic Boulevard, where they have upped their game, even receiving Bib Gourmand recognition from Michelin! As far as I know, they’ve never been in the university district.
Maybe someone else can help with the name then, there are two Indians near Shr Da rd, the one I am talking about was pretty big and seating was cheap ass tabling.
When I went in I was the only one there and asked for a vindaloo and not the kind you serve to Taiwanese, the kind they would make themselves, it was awesome. Saffron’s vindaloo is pretty excellent also. So much so, it’s not for everyone.
