Le Taj, Indian restaurant in downtown Montreal, Canada
Le Taj is an Indian restaurant in downtown Montreal serving traditional dishes prepared in a visible tandoor oven visible through a glass partition. Diners watch the cooking process as chefs work at this traditional clay oven throughout their meal.
The restaurant opened in 1985 and became established as a destination for Indian cuisine in downtown Montreal. It has maintained its position over the decades as a recognized spot for traditional cooking in the city.
The dining room features wooden carvings and displays a piece of the Indian Pavilion wall from Expo '67. These elements give the space its distinctive character and connect the restaurant to Montreal's past.
The restaurant is open for evening service and features wheelchair accessibility throughout the space. It is a good idea to arrive early or make a reservation, especially on weekends when the dining room fills up quickly.
The owner has assembled a collection of Indian art pieces that fill the restaurant. This passion for collecting extends to the antique elements sourced from the Indian Pavilion at Expo '67, which many visitors overlook.
