Our Story

Bringing back a Madison favorite

Taj Indian Cuisine & Bar is more than just a restaurant — it's a homecoming. We've been on Park Street since 2003, and for 16+ years our family proudly served Madison authentic Indian food at our original Park Street location. Today we're bringing Taj back in a new space, honoring our roots while reimagining the experience for a new generation.

We're starting where it all began: the same beloved North Indian dishes our loyal guests remember — award-winning chicken tikka masala, fragrant biryanis, sizzling tandoori specialties and fresh-baked naan.

As we grow, we're evolving too — new flavors, modern presentations and handcrafted cocktails from our full bar built to complement bold North Indian cooking, alongside a daily lunch buffet and catering across Wisconsin. A legacy reborn — tradition, innovation and warm hospitality.
