We went for a Sunday Lunch special and had a great time. It was a special occasion we're sharing. Ordered a bunch of vegetarian entrees - the Yellow Daal, Spinach crisps and desserts were amazing. The table setting was spectacular - probably rivals the best in Europe. Overall, great experience but definitely expensive. More

Excellent meal. I particularly liked the sorbet served in a dish with dry ice smoke coming out of it! More

My husband and I just dined at Varq in the Taj Mahal and we were blown away. The food is a beautifully delicate balance of traditional and modern Indian cuisine. The favorite flavors of India are all there, but with some wonderfully inventive combinations. One of our favorites had to be bhindi (okra) filled with coconut in a gorgeously rich... More

The restaurant is amazing with its Indian contemporary cuisine. The taste is fabulous and very different from the regular Indian platter. The overall taste and presentation of the food is fantastic!! But the best part of the restaurant is the exceptional service.. It was my Birthday and the manager gave me a complimentary cake, that too very different since it... More

I have been here multiple times, so when it came to choosing a restaurant for my Birthday, I went in for Varq - apart from me no one else who accompanied me had been here, so I really wanted them to explore this gem. The evening didnt get off to a good start - We were made to wait 30... More

Lovely restaurant, good service and waiters who aren't afraid to give advice (got very used to 'Everything on the menu is good sir' in India so appreciated a waiter who could tell me what was a highlight). Started with the crab and prawn which was fantastic, one of the best starters I've had in a long time. Moved on to... More

I expect that the Taj would have very good restaurants. But this one was excellent. From ambience on, drinks and food were top-rate. I would highly recommend it. More

Stuck with the vegetarian entrees, eventhough at baseline I do not practice a vegetarian diet. The entrees were wonderful. They gave us an appetizer gratis which were small fried balls of spinach? mixed in with silver leafing. it was wonderful. All the dishes were great. Could absolutely be vegetarian if all dishes were so good! More

Cannot fault the food or service, everything was delicious and recommendations were all spot on. Even a dish that wasn't on the menu was magically prepared. More
