About us

Known as a Montreal institution, Le Taj has been deeply entrenched in the downtown core for over 3 decades.

The decor at Le Taj represents a true synthesis of the complex, the colourful, the simple and the elegant. Carefully curated with handmade wooden carvings from the early 18th century, juxtaposed with the 12-foot mud wall adorning the backdrop of the dining room - which was in fact the central installation from the Indian Pavilion at Expo ‘67 - the decor often leaves our guests speechless while maintaining a certain feeling of warmth that mirrors the cuisine. At the rear end of the restaurant, our tandoor (traditional clay oven) is visible through a glass wall, leaving guests with a window into the world of our chefs, who can be seen cooking tandoori delicacies from fresh naan to our signature tandoori chicken.

Owner, Vinod Kapoor, opened the restaurant in 1985, with the idea of creating a space where Indian food could be devoured within the respected setting it deserved: white table clothes, fine wine and a decor that highlights the rich cultural and artistic history of his native India. Having previously been a collector and dealer of Indian art and antiques, his keen eye for interesting pieces has made its impression on the ambiance of the restaurant, where most of the artwork is one of a kind (including a piece from the Indian Pavilion at Expo ’67!).

It is with this same passion that Mr. Kapoor, who can still be seen buzzing around the dining room on a busy night, continues to maintain the high quality and exceptional service to old and new clients alike. Over the years, Le Taj has become a staple for many Montrealers and international clients, with a number of patrons having grown up dining with us and coming back over time with families of their own. In that respect, our own family of dedicated staff members - many of whom have been with us since the very beginning - are in large part how we have built our reputation of excellence for over 30 years. With a large number of our regular patrons making up a who's who, and having been as loyal to us as we have been to them and to our classical recipes, we hope to continue our journey in the mastery of culinary arts and service for many years to come.

This is only feedback for the restaurant & would not like to share on customer's platform.
We visited for the first time & we ordered a vegetarian thali & a non-vegetarian thali. Somehow we didn't like much the taste of the chicken item we ordered. So, we requested if the chicken item could be changed. The item was changed which tasted good but we were also told that they were doing it only that time. There was only one chicken item with such limited quantity & if we didn't like the taste, we are not forced to eat. If it couldn't be changed then we should have been told that it couldn't be changed instead of saying they were doing it only that time as if we did the same number of times or they had any previous experience with us. Other than that experience was good.

One of the most authentic Indian food experience in Montreal. The food is excellent, I have rated 4 stars as the portions are small & expensive. The service was amazing with no comment at all. It was too crowded when I visited & the inside was very warm. Regardless of these, this place is definitely an experience to try!View more

My bar for Indian food has just been raised. If my future Indian dishes don't meet the standards I had at le Taj I'll be forever disappointed. Thank you for a great meal

Delicious & lovely as always! We had a tandoori Lamb tikka, the only comment I would make is that it was tougher than I recalled. But still delicious!
