Taj: Taj’s designers could’ve easily used the obscuring crystal-beaded curtains to bait passersby, but it turns out the interior is even more alluring. In the foyer a grand chandelier and tiled walls build anticipation, while a ready-to-serve hostess and coat check girl greet you upon arrival. Refined $13 cocktails, like Indian Rose and Budina, plus a delicate blend of Indian, French, and American flavors in dishes like the coriander-infused chicken breast, fill the place with an array of Manolos and Jimmy Choos, but the environment keeps things surprisingly relaxed. Perhaps it’s the pillow piles on soft benches, or sandstone Buddhas on altar-esque shelves, or glowing silk lanterns that hover, like massive megaphones, over otherwise private booths. An enchanting date spot with house/lounge beats or live jazz-infused music on weeknights, Taj is “Mahal” that. |
