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.

Our server Sunil was just wonderful. We let him choose our food for us because we couldn't make up our minds & his selection did not disappoint!! He took the time to explain everything as it arrived at our table. Everything was delicious & so flavourful. Amazing experience, great food & great service! We will definitely go back!!

Une cuisine savoureuse admirablement préparée &, à l'évidence, avec des produits de qualité & de grande fraîcheur. Un service attentif, efficace &, grand bonheur -- en français, ce qui est trop rare dans les restaurants indiens.

HI
This visit was disappointing - maybe it was a Monday night, but definitely not up to scratch. The Mulligatawny soup was excellent. The Aloo Tiki were two potato pancakes, no sauce - so poor compared to Bombay street food. The main course (sizzling shrimp, no sizzle!) & vegetarian talli (nothing to write home about) were adequate, but lacked flair. The service was excellent, & it's a beautiful setting - it's just that the food did not excel like it used to.

C'était la première fois que mon copain & moi mangions dans un restaurant de ce type donc nous étions plutôt incertain quand au fonctionnement du restaurant, mais le staff fut très ouvert à nous guider & nous expliquer comment ça fonctionnait. Le repas était délicieux & comment les portions étaient présentées & expliquées, nous avons eu assez de nourriture. Je dirais que le prix est raisonnable pour la quantité de nourriture qu'ils donnent. Très bien comme restaurant !View more

Came on train Tuesday Jan 16/24 Made reservations for 17th before we left based on reviews & proximity to hotel. Was not disappointed. Great service, great food & staff are terrific. Vindaloo Chicken on the train ride home on 18th. Great meal all over again. Will eat there again when in Montreal.
