"Opened in 1982, Taj Mahal pioneered regional Indian cuisine in New Orleans, expanding to Magazine Street with the opening of Nirvana. The menu is vast, including standard dishes, vegetarian, tandoor roasted meats and seafood, and specialties from the south, including uthappam, a type of dosa made into a pancake and topped with coconut chutney, vegetables, and chili." - Beth D'Addono
