Taj Mahal Restaurant
Nestled in downtown Victoria, the Taj Mahal Restaurant has served up authentic kosher Indian and Pakistani food for over 25 years. Diners can enjoy such South Asian classics as Aalo Naan, Tandoori chicken, samosas, shai paneer, aloo ghobi, saag chicken and fish tikka. For those who don't eat meat, there is a wide variety of vegetarian dishes like vegetable curry and dal on the menu. The Taj Mahal also caters to those who want to throw celebratory functions, as diners can rent out a portion of the restaurant for private parties. Lovers of fine wine will enjoy the restaurants respectable selection of red, wine and designer wines. On weekends, the Taj Mahal hosts live events, which are mostly performances by Indian musical artists. However, one should not dine at the Taj Mahal expecting it to be inexpensive; the portions here are tiny, and prices average about $15 per plate.
