Continue further down Wigram Street, past the grocers selling curry-leaf plants, and you’ll spot Taj Indian Sweets and Restaurant. Opened in 2003, Taj is one of Little Indian’s originals, with regulars dedicated to the epic, all-vegetarian menu.
There’s plenty of chaat, including winning pani puri, and the thalis – northern or southern style – offer an entry point to the venue’s curry offer, complete with rice, bread, pickles and pappadums. Don’t leave without grabbing a sweet from the stacked front bar either.
