A friend of mine suggested this great Indian restaurant for a quick lunch.
Most dishes are originating from the Northern part of India. Service was very friendly and fast. We simply ordered way too much, but it was worth it. The naan bread was great and Marsala Chicken my favourite together with saffron rice and Indian pickles.
It is a genuine and simple place you will greatly enjoy if you appreciate Indian cuisine.
We tried Le Taj for the first time last weekend and are already looking forward to our next time.
We decided to do a takeaway and like with every restaurant we frequent, we decided to try only one main and one side to see if we liked it.
Food: We ordered an Aaloo Paratha and a full Tandoori Chicken bird.
The Aaloo pratatha was soft and fluffy, was not over or understuffed. Standard and very good. 4.5/5.
But the Tandoori Chicken pieces were, by far, the best tandoori platter we have had in Melbourne, per our tastes. As a food blogger + documenter, I try to recommend only the very best to my friends and readers, and I would definitely ask them to try Le Taj's take on Tandoori Chicken.
The masala coating on the chicken was creamy and bursting with flavour - particularly chaat masaala stuffed all the way into every tiny crevice of the bird. The chicken itself was tender and not chewy or rubbery.
The portion was big enough to feed two very hungry adults at dinner time; this chicken will be my new go-to for hungry nights for takeouts.
Service: Very inviting and welcoming during our pick up, thank you, we truly value smiles from the staff :)
Price: $3.50 for the Paratha and $19 for the whole Tandoori Chicken, a reasonable price for such excellent quality.
I'm always rooting for quality Indian restaurants that remind me of the way things are traditionally made in India, looking forward to returning and showcasing some more dishes at the restaurant!
We regularly do take out from here and its always yummy. Love the mushroom masala and pretty much all the other curries as well! There is a ghost chilli curry on the menu that looks interesting!
