Our Story: A Fusion of Two Cultures
Taj started with a simple idea: bring authentic Indian and Indo-Chinese flavors to the heart of Melbourne. Our owner, a passionate foodie with deep roots in both cultures, wanted to create a space where the best of these two worlds could come together on one plate. The combination of spices, herbs, and techniques from both India and China is what sets us apart, and we’re proud to share this special blend with you.
The Craft Behind Our Dishes
Our kitchen is led by a team of talented chefs who approach cooking like scientists. They don’t just follow written recipes—they carefully measure and combine each batch of imported spices based on its color, smell, and taste. This allows us to create flavors that are not only authentic but also fresh and unique to our restaurant. Every dish is crafted with precision and care, ensuring each bite is as delightful as the last.
Fresh Ingredients, Better Flavor
We’re committed to using only the freshest ingredients in every dish. At Taj, we believe in the power of simple, clean ingredients. By avoiding preservatives, excess sodium, and sugar, we let the natural flavors shine through. The result? A dining experience that’s as healthy as it is delicious.
A Master Chef Leads the Way
At the heart of our kitchen is our master chef, who ensures that each dish is not only flavorful but also perfectly prepared. With years of experience, he leads the team in creating dishes that are both familiar and exciting. His expertise in Indian and Chinese cuisine is reflected in every meal we serve, ensuring you’ll get a taste that’s truly exceptional.
