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.

Not for South Indians & lesser vegetarian options but the place is really great for dinner dates. Got a chaat & veg biryani. It was full of mint flavour & the chaat was served cold usually. Baigan bharta was really good as well. Take everything medium spicy. Indian level spicy is not predicted. Once it was extremely spicy & once it was not very spicy. Medium level of consistency is maintained well all the time here.View more

As a regular customer of your restaurant, I have always been delighted by the exceptional quality of the food & service. However, during my most recent visit, I noticed a significant decline in the service, which greatly impacted my overall experience. The food was still excellent, which confirms that your chef maintains high standards. It might be beneficial to review the processes or staff training to ensure that every customer receives the same level of service as in the past. I remain a loyal customer & am confident that these adjustments will restore the excellence I have always associated with your establishment. Thank you for your attention to this feedback, & I look forward to returning soon for an experience as satisfying as usual.View more
