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 team here is very warm. Specially Mr. Faisal & Mr. Gyourme
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! ❤?
Been coming here for twenty years & was pleased that the quality has remained the same when we recently came back. Service great, delicious food. A bit cheap of you guys not to serve papadams anymore at 25 price per little plate. Bring it back 🙏 It costs nothing except a bit if a hassle for the servers & kitchen.
Verdict: seems like uses quality ingredients, fine dining setting, okay taste, small portions, not value for money, servers were rude, hurried us to order (kitchen was closing soon so may be because of that)
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!
We came as a group of six & had such a great experience at Le Taj. The food was absolutely delicious - full of flavor & beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, perfect for enjoying a nice evening together. The service was excellent from start to finish, & the hostess was especially kind & attentive. We all left happy & satisfied. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality Indian cuisine in Montreal!
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

Very less quantity & over priced for the food. $25 for a small bowl of curry & $6 for a naan is outrageous. The curry was too oily & nothing special about any of the food. The quality of rice was also bad for that price.
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.
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.
I have been to le taj on different occasions over many years but recently during my visits i noticed the quality of food is not the same anymore. The food quality has degraded alot specially avoid going to valentines days occasion as the menu is limited & the prices what they charge for fixed menu is ridiculous. They serve chicken soup made of yellow daal which was really bad & we do not expect such quality of food from there.

The quality of the food does not justify its price, & the portion sizes were insufficient. Despite the pleasant ambiance & good service, the taste of the Indian dishes fell short compared to more affordable options elsewhere.
The service is great, & the food is good. Although you won't expect the hottest to be as reflective, it was still excellent quality. The mint naan was also an eye opener that I haven't tried before. Their assorted fried vegetable platter was also not too greasy as some samosas go.
