Le Taj
A Montréal institution since 1985, the refined Le Taj carries a piece of Montréal's history with its ornate mud wall originally made for India's pavilion at Expo ’67. With its northern Indian cuisine, which isn’t as spicy as its southern counterpart, thali—platters comprising a variety of curries—are ideal for sampling unfamiliar flavors. Vegetarians and vegans will feel right at home with the veggie menu, notably the saag paneer (white cheese with spinach), the tandoori vegetable platter, and the channa masala (chickpeas seasoned in coriander, garam masala, mango powder, onions, and garlic). Le Taj is also open at the Time Out Market, an upscale food court at 705 rue Ste-Catherine Ouest.
