Le Taj

I feel like a lot of westerners expect Asian and Indian cuisine to be cheap, possibly because that’s what they’ve always known. I’ve never seen a cheap authentic French restaurant, for example. However, this place will show you exactly why Indian cuisine deserves to be held to the same standard. I’ve been here many times, always trying something new, and every single dish is deeply deeply impressive. Perfectly spiced, the meat is always cooked to tender perfection, and always served with class. The service is classy and tasteful, and the staff are incredibly kind and helpful (don’t be shy to ask for a wine pairing! Indian food is different and the pairings are often unexpected.) All in all, this is one of my absolute favourite restaurants in Montreal, and possibly in any city I’ve ever been. 10/10, could not possibly recommend more.

Authentic fine dining! Never have I seen the servers so attentive to their assigned tables and the way they behave and serve was just an amazing experience. The food was delicious especially the samosas. Although, the only thing I would personally suggest is that if they could cut the naan breads and serve them properly instead of just taking them out in a basket and leaving it on the customers table
