South Lake Tahoe Dining

dining

Being able to drive from one end of South Lake Tahoe to the other within 15 minutes, it’s amazing the diverse selection of cuisine we have from so many different cultures.   Ranging from “hole-in-the-wall” places to five-star dining, eclectic menus to simple ones, you will surely enjoy your dining experience while staying in Tahoe.  Some of the types of cuisine the South Shore has to offer are: Chinese, Mexican, Greek/Mediterranean, Japanese, Thai, California Cuisine, steakhouses, Indian, Italian and much more.

Many people who come to South Lake Tahoe tend to cling to the downtown casino area, not knowing there is so much more to the South Shore dining experience than the casino restaurants (which are also very good, don’t get me wrong).  If you have come to the South Shore without a vehicle, taxis are in abundance here and no restaurant will be more than a short cab ride away.

As I could write all day about my favorite picks (I am very passionate about food), here is a link to the Tahoe Daily Tribune’s 2010 Best of Tahoe winners which were voted for by the locals — you will need to scroll down almost to the bottom.  I hope during your next trip to Tahoe you will get a chance to take advantage of our wonderful selection!

Indian Cuisine in South Lake Tahoe

Delicious Indian Cuisine at Taj Mahal

Delicious Indian Cuisine at Taj Mahal, South Lake Tahoe

If you are looking to enjoy some great Indian cuisine while on your Tahoe vacation, I highly recommend Taj Mahal.  Located inside the Quality Inn, the decor is a bit dated, but the food is really incredible.  It is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.  For lunch everyday they offer a buffet from 11:00 – 3:00 (in addition to their regular menu); there are usually a couple of meat dishes and a few vegetarian dishes.  I believe the price is $9.99 for the buffet and the food is absolutely delicious!  My personal favorite buffet dish is the Chicken Tikka Masala.  The lunch buffet items are different everyday and they give you unlimited, freshly made naan bread throughout the meal.  For dinner, they have the same menu as lunch, but they don’t offer a buffet.

Taj Mahal is located at 3838 Lake Tahoe Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe.  Their number is (530) 541-6495.  They do not currently have a website.
