Crevettes bhunna!

Deux mots simples à retenir pour votre prochaine visite au Taj : crevettes bhunna. Ce sont des crevettes cuites avec une abondance de poivrons verts, oignons et tomates. Les crevettes sont tendres et croquantes, bien imprégnées d’épices fraîches. Elles s’agrémentent très bien avec un plat de riz basmati cuit à la vapeur. Le tout savouré avec une King Fisher bien refroidie : que peut-on demander de mieux?

Great for vegetarians!

I’m a vegetarian and it’s not easy to go out to restaurants in Montreal and find good vegetarian cuisine. That’s why I’m really happy to have found restaurant Le Taj. They serve an abundant diversity of vegetarian meals that look great, smell great and taste even better! I highly recommend that you try out the channa masala, which are chick-peas seasoned with loads of onions, garlic and coriander. I love this dish because the chick-peas are fresh and crumble in your mouth, rather than being served mashed up like other places do. There’s also the tangy baigan bhartha (roasted eggplant) that I can never get enough of! There’s also loads more for you to try!

Still one of downtown's tastiest bargains. The price of the lunch buffet (C$15) has barely changed since the restaurant opened in 1985, and it's a real treat. The kitchen specializes in the Mughlai cuisine of the Indian subcontinent, and seasonings tend more toward the tangy than the incendiary. Dishes are perfumed with turmeric, saffron, ginger, cumin, mango powder, and garam masala (a spice... plus

I went looking for good Indian food because I love Indian cuisine and what I get in my home town isn't top shelf, and, well, the population of folks of Indian descent is much higher in Canada than in Texas.

Overall, I was pretty disappointed. The seekh kabobs were dry and mealy, and under-seasoned. The saag was OK but also under seasoned. The paneer in the saag was great. I... plus

They have an extensive menu, and there are many vegetarian dishes. They even serve beef, which is unusual for Indian restaurants.

I'm not at all happy with the fact that the dishes do not come with rice or nan... all you get is a bowl of whatever is described in the menu. They are already on the pricey side and you don't even get a complete dish... No one is going to eat a spicy saucy dish... plus

The appetizer samosas were fine (according to my guests), as was the vegetable korma. But the lamb vindaloo was the best I've had. I asked for it to be "very spicy", and it was quite hot (not the hottest - which is fine when the ingredients are so high quality). Comfortable atmosphere; very nice interior, and easy to get to - just off St. Catherine. Service was fantastic.

Honestly, Le Taj had some of the best food I ate all weekend in Montreal over vacation. The service was 5 stars. We had a few different masalas, and a chicken vindaloo along with some other vegetarian dishes. 4 stars only because we thought the wine selection was not so great. There weren't many bottle options that were very expensive and the pinot was a Beringer which leaves a lot to be desired.

Another Montreal winner. Excellent gourmet Indian cuisine. The only thing I'd say that you should consider is that various guides designate it as in the "$$" two dollar sign category in terms of cost, and we definitely found it to be a bit pricier, a "$$$" being more appropriate-- but worth it none the less, due to fine taste, great service and welcoming ambiance.
