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.

Great restaurant. Clean & tables are nicely spaced from others. The service is excellent & the food is flavourful. Unlike some restaurants, my clothes didn't smell like food when we left. I recommend.View more

It is hyped by many people & it isnt so much better than the average indian spot down the street… Overpriced for sure. You are paying for the location, not the exceptional food that everyone raves about.View more

I reserved a table for two to celebrate my husband's birthday. I brought a cake from outside & handed it to the waitstaff. They were incredibly kind & polite, & at the end of our dinner, they brought the cake to our table while singing the Happy Birthday song. Their warm & lovely behavior not only surprised my husband but also touched my heart.

We ordered two types of rice & one lamb curry-it was delicious, & the price was quite reasonable.

I highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic date, friendly gatherings, or family time. I will definitely be returning again & again! ❤?❤?❤?❤?❤?

Thank you, Taj, for creating such a beautiful memory. I will always remember your friendly & courteous staff.View more

I ordered takeaway &, as a big Indian food enthusiast, I was disappointed. The tikka masala had zero flavor, though I will give an extra star for the tender chicken. The naan & rice were also quite blandView more

From US, visiting, stumbled upon this elegant restaurant on Monday night. Indian food was good quality & you can see the guy making naan in the back. Service was fantastic & friendly. Slightly pricey but as expected for a bougie Indian place & still cheaper than DCView more

I'm very surprised to see the 4.2 rating as I believe it should be higher!! This was some of the most delicious, spectacular, fresh, belly & soul warming Indian cuisine I've ever tasted. We chose Le Taj for my mum's 60th birthday celebration, coming all the way from Hamilton to spend the weekend in Montreal. Our server Sunil & all his colleagues that supported him in serving our table were phenomenal, so kind, soft spoken, warm, & told us a bit about the restaurant's long history. The ambiance is comfortable, intimate, clean, & luxurious. We ordered aloo ghobi, mattar paneer, & chicken korma as well as an appetizer, a salad, naan, & rice. Everything was fresh & perfectly tasty, medium portions, definitely generous enough. The mango lassi is second to none. The staff made my mom feel extra special with a candle & song for her dessert! If you come here, the in-house made pistachio iced cream is a MUST try!! Not at all what I expected - so fresh & wholesome, lots of real nuts. This place is perfect for any special occasion!View more

Everything was great, except for their unacceptable behavior. Shortly after we finished our meal, they repeatedly asked us to leave the table. This was highly unprofessional. At the very least, they could have mentioned this policy on their website when customers make a reservation!View more

This restaurant is just by name Indian not by their food & it is only for white people not for brown people , we told them to make the food spicy but still it was so sweet. Two girls sitting in front of the gate were greeting each & every white person but for us they didn't even reacted (i don't even care but it feels bad when someone from our own ethnicity treats us like second citizens) , whole restaurant was full with while people , we were the only brown people, might be brown people already knows about them , just posting it for those who doesn't know about itView more
