Le Taj
/Le Taj Indian Restaurant wins the hearts of Richmond locals and passer-by's.
The restaurant serves classical Indian dishes with a fresh twist, focusing on using local produce, freshly ground spices and fresh ingredients. Flavour is the name of the game and it is easy to understand why the restaurant is almost always bustling and full to the brim.
Le Taj combines traditional tandoori techniques with contemporary Indian style to great effect within a comfortable and relaxing backdrop.
We loved tasting our way through the menu.
The Chicken Tikka was our favourite starter. The boneless pieces of chicken were tender, having been roasted to perfection in a traditional clay oven.
For mains, we adored the curries we had. The Chicken korma was a beautifully mild and creamy curry .It was a crowd favourite which had us fighting for the last morsel. The beef saag on the other hand was exceedingly tender and drenched in a, full flavour-laden spinach curry, courtesy of being cooked in a myriad of delectable spices while the dish curry was a lighter fragrant curry which was yet another enjoyable dish.
For dessert we enjoyed the dessert platter which included a rich, creamy, and amply sweet pistachio kulfi and decadent gulab jamun.
Le Taj Indian Restaurant presents a vivid illustration of Indian cuisine and is certainly worth a visit!
