Le Taj

Le Taj Review

The focus is on northern India cuisine, which is less spicy and more delicate than that of the south. Tandoori ovens seal in the flavors of the grilled meat, like lamb tikka, and fish. It's noteworthy that a new vegetarian tandoori platter was added to the menu, among the vegetarian choices like thali—one vegetable entrée, lentils, and basmati rice—and saag paneer, spicy white cheese with spinach. The owners are fighting city hall for permits to expand and renovate, so hopefully the lackluster decor will improve soon. A nine-course lunch buffet costs C$14.95, and an "Indian feast" is C$38.

    le taj is the worst restaurent i ever went to in the whole world. i went to its lunch buffet that costed 15 dollars with taxes, the buffet was consistant of only tandori chicken, medium quality and lente. the fruit was only grapes of very low quality. the service is zero, no one if bringing you water and no one is removing empty dished. really i felt very bad after visiting that bad place. i will never go there again.

    I am a big Indian food lover and Le Taj Restaurant was the next restaurant on my list. Of all the places I have been to, I truly believe that you cannot find such deliciously handmade naan anywhere else in Montreal. If you already enjoy regular naan, wait until you try out the garlic naan: it is simply out of this world! Whatever the secret ingredient is, who needs to know when you get a generous portion of fluffy, golden, straight out the oven naan. Even after a while, the naan stays crisp in your plate and doesn’t become soggy or oily. It accompanies everything wonderfully.
