Le' Taj Indian Restaurant

We were craving for a little Indian food that day, so we decided to go to one of the authentic Indian restaurants around, which was Le' Taj Indian Restaurant.

This be the signboard of Le' Taj Indian Restaurant. It's situated within Kiulap near the area where most of the food shops are situated. Beside it used to be a pretty good Japanese restaurant called Chopstix, but because it has been rivaled and overpowered by Excapade, it has now closed down and turned to an Italian restaurant called Capers instead, but that's another story.






This be the interior of the restaurant. As soon as you enter, you can really smell the curry and spices that permeates the area, and if you were hungry before, the smell of it makes you hungry even more. And they've got pretty nice decors around too. Easy on the eye, and a great view of the city when you pick a window seat, in which we did.

My friend ordered ice coffee while the others settled for the mineral water that was already there. Though my friend complained that there was too much milk in his coffee and he could barely taste the coffee itself at all.

I ordered sweet lassi, which is a yogurt drink commonly served in Indian restaurants. I actually wanted to order other flavours but they were bloody expensive for a drink, so I settled with this instead, though I'm surprised they actually have salt lassi. Blergh! Who the hell would want to drink salty drinks?

This is what my other friend's girlfriend ordered: murtabak kosong. It's basically almost like roti canai with curry as the sauce, though I have no idea what exactly is the difference between murtabak and roti canai since they all look and taste the same.

This is what my friends ordered: Nasi Briyani set, or something like that. They've got their briyani rice, which is spicy red and yellow rice with condiments like acar (pickled cucumber and carrot), wet coleslaw (or something like that), curry, tomato soup, chicken and naan (I think that's what it's called). It really is in a big portion and worth the money, and looks delicious.

My order came, which was banana leaf set lunch. At first I thought why am I just given rice, chicken, tomato soup and curry, but then they came over with this huge container and put the empty space with dahl, potatoes and acar. Apparently it was refillable too and you can ask as much as you want, but it was definitely too filling to ask for second round

This is how my food looks like after it was done filling with the "missing pieces"

Close up of my food. It's actually quite spicy, even though my friend's food was spicier than mine (he tends to get the brunt of it, or maybe his tongue was still not used to spicy stuff XD). It was really, really filling and when the waitress asked if I want seconds, I said no, because I couldn't fit in anymore from this first round. In fact, I couldn't even finish it. It's either the portion was too big for me or my stomach shrank in size. LOL

It was a very satisfying meal at best. Very filling, and it leaves you with that full feeling almost all day. In fact my friend still burped even it has been an hour since he ate. LOL! So go ahead and try out this authentic Indian food if you have the craving for it
