Despite the wall-to-wall curry house competition of Brick Lane, Le Taj stands out as a place that caters for all diners' tastes. Two menus are on offer: you can play safe with the traditional "Indian" menu for curry dishes as Brits know them (chicken tikka masala and the like), or you can choose your meal from the Bengali menu for a more "real" experience. The clientele boasts a large Bangladeshi contingent, so the authenticity of the latter menu must be pretty accurate. Traditional Bengali dishes such as roop chanda, pomphret fish fried with spice and coriander, or the starter biran mass, slices of fish marinated in fresh herbs and fried with onions make an impressive change from the usual curry-house fare. There's a great range of vegetable dishes on offer, too - on both menus.
