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 a quite wonderful Indian Restaurant. We live in Vermont & would visit Montreal on a regular basis. We always made a point of eating at Le Taj. We had not been back for over 4 years due to the outbreak of Covid. We only just visited & of course had dinner there. It was as good as ever, if not even better. We tend to eat Vegetarian which is excellent. I originally come from Scotland & like to think I know good Indian. This is very good. We've being going there for just under 30 years & have gotten to know some of the personnel who are still there! Needless to say, service is excellent. Highly recommended.View more

We visited Montreal with our family & decided to have a nice meal at Taj after a day of sightseeing. The service was excellent, & the restaurant had a classy atmosphere with a special table-side presentation. We enjoyed shrimp curry & vindaloo,which were all delicious.View more

Allés à 3 un dimanche soir; avons été stressés pendant tout le repas: pas le temps d'étudier la carte, assiettes débarrassées avant que les 3 personnes aient terminé, pressés de commander les desserts, & le pire: relancés par 3 personnes pour que nous nous dépêchions de payer & de partir!
Nous sommes sentis chassés sitôt le repas terminé, une usine!

Service impersonnel, plats posés sur la table, jamais offert de resservir de l'eau, avons dû demander plusieurs fois.
