Elegant Indian dining with visible tandoori oven & flavorful dishes
"Since 1985, this downtown restaurant has served some of the best Indian food Montreal has to offer, and is worth considering for groups of up to 25." - JP Karwacki
"One of Montreal’s few critically approved, white-tablecloth Indian restaurants, Le Taj has been a local institution since opening in 1985. Though its legendarily bountiful lunch buffets are temporarily off the table, it’s got an evening table d’hôte offering, including a choice of soup or salad, a meat dish, a veggie dish, and dessert, plus rice, naan, and coffee or tea. Otherwise, pick from their à la carte menu and approachable, seasonally curated wine list." - JP Karwacki
"Open since 1985, this Northern Indian restaurant has become somewhat of a local institution, having survived close to four decades in the heart of downtown. (Le Taj also opened a counter in the Time Out Market in the summer of 2021.) The specialty here is undoubtedly the tandoori – the tandoori oven is visible from the dining room – but other dishes shouldn’t be ignored. One of the most charming features of the interior decor is the wall installation that was part of the Indian Pavilion of Expo 67. Note: the lunch buffet continues to be temporarily suspended until further notice." - Daniel Bromberg
"Open since 1985, this upscale Indian restaurant in the heart of downtown Montreal has stood the test of time. A solid choice for curry, tandoor-cooked meats, and more." - Daniel Bromberg
"I noticed that Le Taj, a 36-year-old downtown Indian fine-dining institution, is among the newcomers to the food hall." - Valerie Silva
