À propos

Véritable restaurant montréalais, Le Taj s'est profondément ancré dans le coeur du centre-ville depuis plus de trois décennies.

Le décor du Taj représente une véritable synthèse du complexe, du coloré, du simple et de l'élégant. Soigneusement organisé avec des sculptures en bois authentique du début du 18e siècle, juxtaposé au mur de boue de 12 pieds ornant le mur du fond de la salle à manger - qui était l’installation centrale du pavillon indien à Expo 67 - le décor laisse souvent nos invités sans voix tout en apportant une sensation de chaleur, reflet de notre cuisine. À l’arrière du restaurant, notre tandoor (four traditionnel en argile) est visible à travers une baie vitrée, offrant aux invités une fenêtre sur le monde de nos chefs, qui peuvent être vus en train de cuire des spécialités tandoori, allant du naan frais à notre incontournable poulet tandoori.

Le propriétaire, Vinod Kapoor, a ouvert lerestaurant en 1985 avec la sincère ambition de créer un espace ou la cuisine indienne pouvait être savourée dans le respect du cadre qu'elle méritait : nappes blanches, bon vin et un décor mettant en valeur la richesse culturelle et artistique de l'histoire de son Inde natale. Collectionneur et marchand d'art et d'antiquités indiens, son gout raffiné pour les pièces d'exception a eu son impact sur l'ambiance du restaurant, o/ les oeuvres d'art sont uniques (comme une murale du pavillon indien de l'Expo 67!).

C'est avec la même passion que Monsieur Kapoor, que l'on peut toujours apercevoir bourdonnant autour de la salle à manger lors des soirées bien animées, continue de maintenir la qualité et leservice exceptionnel offerts à nos anciens comme nos nouveaux clients. Avec les années, Le Taj est devenu un incontournable pour beaucoup de montréalais et clients internationaux, comptant un certain nombre de convives qui ont grandi en dinant avec nous et qui reviennent aujourd'hui avec leurs enfants. À cet égard, notre propre famille d’employés dévoués - dont plusieurs sont avec nous depuis le tout début - est partie intégrante de la façon dont nous avons construit notre réputation d'excellence depuis plus de 30 ans. Le Taj a accueilli bon nombre de personnalités connues dont plusieurs font partie de notre clientèle habituelle. Avec des clients qui nous ont été loyaux tout comme nous avons travaillé à l'être envers eux, ainsi qu'à nos recettes classiques, nous espérons continuer notre chemin dans la maitrise de l'art culinaire et du service pour encore plusieurs années.

The best naan in the city thanks to that tandoor oven. The lunch buffet is great for taste, speed & value. Evening dining is more elegant than other Indian restaurants in Montreal.

Le Taj Indian Restaurant on Stanley Street in Montreal is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're treated like family by the amazing staff to an authentic & unforgettable culinary experience. Kabir & his family truly pour their heart into serving the best Indian dishes in the city, using only the freshest ingredients. Each dish bursts with incredible flavor & you can taste the quality in every bite. It's more than just a meal; it's a delightful journey for your taste buds. Highly recommend! & never any bloating afterwards like other places! Our go to for many years now! ❤?

This place does not feel like authentic Indian cuisine, Keema Naan was nice but malai chicken came with no malai sauce. Good if you want to try out Indian food & are nervous about the spice level.

Best & oldest Indian restaurant in Montreal, about 40 years old. The service is impeccable by the amazing & sweet staff. Even the owner goes from table to table to make sure the guests are having fun. The food arrival is always quick either is busy or not. Every single dishes from appetizers to dessert are beyond delicious. Always well flavored, & nicely & tenderly cooked. The restaurant is simply beautiful with the vintage Indian decors. The vibe is happy & satisfying with the service & food. 100% recommended.

Le Taj offers a beautifully warm & elegant atmosphere, with vintage Indian décor that creates an inviting & authentic setting. Service was professional & attentive, & the ambiance alone sets a high expectation for the dining experience.

We opted for the'feast' menu, which included a salad, appetizer, main with a vegetarian side, & dessert. The cucumber & tomato salad was refreshing, if a bit oversized. My fish appetizer was flat in flavor & oddly textured, though my partner's papdi chaat was crisp, tangy, & truly excellent.

For mains, the butter chicken had perfectly cooked meat, but the sauce lacked the depth, spice, & balance expected from such a signature dish. My partner's lamb vindaloo, however, was a standout - bold, rich, spicy, & deeply satisfying. On the side, the paneer masala had a beautifully balanced tomato-based sauce, while the saag paneer was watery & underseasoned. The naan was exceptional, & the basmati rice decent, though a bit soft.

Desserts were pleasant but unremarkable - gulab jamun was as expected, & a milk-based paneer dessert was unique but not particularly memorable.

The low point of the evening was unquestionably the cocktails. At $20 each, both the mango mojito & mango martini were disappointing - overly sweet, poorly balanced, & lacking noticeable alcohol & technique. They tasted more like juice than proper cocktails, which felt out of step with the overall experience & definitely a disappointment.

In summary, for the overall modest cost (about $120 per person), the experience was fair - beautiful ambiance, attentive service, & a few excellent dishes made it worthwhile. Still, based on its 4.2-star rating & reputation, we expected a bit more across the board. We've enjoyed more flavorful meals at lesser-known Indian restaurants, & with a few refinements - particularly in the cocktails & consistency of dishes - Le Taj could truly shine.

While the restaurant itself merits a solid 4 stars, the cocktails were disappointing enough to bring the overall experience down a notch to 3 stars. Fix the cocktails.

Le Taj serves food that falls into the'mediocre' category-decent enough for those unfamiliar with authentic Indian flavors, but disappointing for anyone seeking a truly satisfying Indian dining experience. The dishes lack depth & authenticity, often tasting bland or overly adjusted to suit a non-Indian palate.

The ambience is okay-nothing special in terms of aesthetics, but it's functional & clean. The service is very good, with attentive & polite staff, which helps balance out the underwhelming food.

Overall, it is an OK restaurant-fine if you're not too particular about taste, but not a place I'd recommend for genuine Indian flavors. If you're looking for something more authentic, you might want to explore other options.

I recently ordered takeout from Le Taj, & it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Even at home, the quality & flavors were top-notch.

The food was packed carefully & arrived hot, fresh, & full of aroma. I ordered the butter chicken, basmati rice, & garlic naan, everything was absolutely delicious. 🤤 The butter chicken was creamy with just the right hint of spice, & the naan was soft & still warm, perfect for dipping.

The portion sizes were generous, & you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The flavors are authentic & comforting, just like what you'd expect from a high-end dine-in experience.

Le Taj really knows how to deliver restaurant-quality Indian cuisine straight to your home. It's now one of my go-to spots for takeout.

Final Verdict:
Authentic Indian flavors, generous portions, & excellent takeout service. Highly recommended!

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.

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 bland

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 DC

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!
