The best Indian food in beechmont hands down. Their tikka masala is truly life changing, paired along side any of their naan breads but our personal favorite is the garlic naan. Our 9,7, and 3 year old boys can’t get enough of it with an extra portion of their delicious rice. I’d never tried Indian food prior to this year and Royal Taj has turned our family into weekly almost daily customers. Can’t rate this place high enough!
