"This restaurant is a true hidden gem! A group of four of us went for breakfast and coffee. The service was attentive and friendly, and the breakfast menu offered a mix of classic dishes and creative twists on those classics. I ordered the Eggs Johnstone and it was absolutely delicious. The others in my group tried the French toast and pancakes, and they raved about how fantastic they were. The cappuccinos weren't the best I've ever had, but that's a minor issue in an otherwise flawless breakfast experience. We will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend that anyone reading this give this place a try."

"This is a local restaurant which I have used many times because it is so dependable. We had booked as it can be very busy at lunchtime. We arrived in good time, were warmly greeted and allocated our table. Service was friendly and slick. Menu has lots of attractive options. We were all more than happy with our food. We all opted for pasta dishes and were delight by both quality and portion size. My only hesitation is that the tables are quite close together, still great food and excellent value for money."

"It was a great experience overall, with delicious food, but we were disappointed to have to wait 1.5 hours past the expected delivery time of 1 hour. As a result, we may not be ordering from there as frequently in the future. It would have been appreciated if they had communicated any delays with our order instead of leaving us in the dark. My wife, daughter, and I were famished and missed out on going out because we had to wait for our dinner to arrive."

"After a short wait, we were treated to a starter platter that included chicken tikka, pakoras, wings, onion rings, garlic mushrooms, and more. Once we finished the starters, we made our way to the buffet, which was located in a corner of the restaurant. There were 7 or 8 curry options, some vegetarian dishes, along with chips and naan bread to choose from. After the curry course, we also helped ourselves to dessert from a refrigerator in the same area. On the positive side, the restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the food was excellent and of high quality. I noticed that the buffet dishes were not overly full, which I think is a good sign—it indicates that the kitchen is attentive and the food is fresh. The selection was impressive, as many buffet restaurants typically offer only 3 or 4 curries, but this one had a wider variety. The service was exceptional. Our waiter was polite and helpful, and he made us feel very welcome. Regarding pricing, there is a set buffet option that includes free drinks and tea/coffee for £19.95, but we opted for the basic buffet (drinks not included) at £10.95. Since we visited on a Saturday, we paid £1 more than we would on a weekday, but for two large Cokes and everything else, we spent just £27 in total. Additionally, children can eat from the buffet for just £5.95, making it one of the most affordable restaurants around for such quality. On the downside, and I’m being quite picky here, I didn’t notice it as much as my partner did, but some traditional Indian background music would have made the atmosphere perfect instead of George Michael playing. However, this was a minor point and certainly didn’t ruin our evening. In summary, the Taj advertises itself as the best Indian restaurant in Paisley, and I believe they are correct."
