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.

Nice interior & decor with average Indian food. We were in Montreal for two nights & tried two different Indian places for dinner. Interior is upscale & nicely done, but I'd say that is only thing that deserves 5 stars, things go down from there. we were able to compare this with the dinner at Darbar from the other night & we came back underwhelmed at the best from the quality of food & service. If you want to impress your girlfriend of special one with nice ambiance yeah this is decent place, but if you want to wow them with service & food, I'd stay away from there. Not worth it.View more

J'ai mangé au Taj à deux reprises en juillet pendant une conférence : c'est de loin le meilleur restaurant indien que je connaisse. Les saveurs sont incroyables (& nous avons testé un certain nombre de plats) & l'accueil chaleureux. A essayer absolument !View more

Conseillé par une amie. Nous avons adoré notre expérience. En commençant par l"accueil. Les serveurs expérimentés & professionnels. L"ambiance & l"excellente nourriture. De plus tous parle français & leur chanson d"anniversaire est en Français ce qui est de plus en plus rare au centre ville. Donc 10/10👍🏼View more

We bumped into the this place as we were just walking around to find a place (did not want to use google maps...). The food was really exceptional. It is small restaurant in less crowded street in down town. The ambience is awesome. They asked do you have a reservation & we were like what... but they accommodated us with a 5 mins wait. All the dishes we tried was very good, especially their chicken xacutti!!! They are open only for dinner at this downtown place.View more

Great location with very nice decor. Has a beautiful intimate vibe with dimmed lights. Their butter chicken was disappointing specifically for the price. You can eat better butter chicken in lots of different restaurants for cheaper. Their garlic nan bread I must say with their samosas were delicious! Good spot to try out once but you can find lots of better restaurants & you will end up saving half of what you spend here on your bill.View more
