Taj Mahal Old Town

Great Bosnian and Herzegovina food with gluten free options

I have celiac disease and a dairy allergy. We asked what dishes could best accommodate my dietary restrictions and the staff said "anything". We ordered the cevapi and the Butcher Plate. The Cevapi was bland and hard, the worst I have had in Croatia. I received gluten free bread almost 10 minutes after my gluten eating spouse did. The Butcher's plate was disappointing. The rump steak was stringy and hard to chew, I had to ask for a steak knife it was so tough. The steak was well cooked, but nothing special. The lamb was well seasoned and cooked, but very fatty. The strongest flavour of the meal was thst of gas, perhaps from the cooking range. It stained all of the food. To top it off, they charged 5€ for gluten free sandwich bread that clearly came from the freezer. No where else charges extra, so this was shocking. I would have rather they had said they could not accommodate my dietary needs than eat here. Perhaps the regular menu is fine. The staff were excellent. The outside seating is no different than any other restaurant, however the inside was nicely decorated. I do appreciate they are halal certified for my Muslim friends.

Had an interesting experience at Taj Mahal, as they are primarily a restaurant that serves meat, this review may not apply to everyone as we had a lot of vegetarians in the group. With that context, the vegetarian options in my opinion are not worth what you would pay for. The gluten free bread option was also a cracker more than it was bread. The lamb was good too but nothing extremely impressive. Best thing we had here was the bosnetta appetizer (this was delicious)
