Spring days call for lunch with a little fresh air.

Take a break between stores, walk across from the office, meet the family for a weekend get-together or wander over from your hotel – our outdoor area gives you a sunny corner to enjoy Taj at your own pace.

With pedestrian streets and open-air piazzas, Melrose Arch was made for warmer weather.

Fragrant basmati, layered spice and plenty to share. That’s biryani.

Long-grain rice is seasoned with aromatic Indian spices, creating the distinct colour, fragrance and flavour biryani is known for. At Taj, have yours with chicken, lamb, fish, prawn or vegetables – five ways to enjoy one of the menu’s most loved rice dishes.

Gather your table, pick your biryani and call 011 684 1257 or reserve via Dineplan.

Golden potatoes, cumin, comfort. Aloo Jeera keeps it simple.

In Hindi, aloo means potato and jeera means cumin, which gets straight to the heart of this North Indian favourite. Ours is cooked with Indian spices and whole cumin seeds for a fragrant, home-style flavour that works so well as part of a shared meal.

Look closely at the bar – those flowers have history.

Floral motifs became a signature of Mughal design, with flowering plants worked into everything from palace architecture to textiles and decorative surfaces. Our mosaic bar front gives that classic design language a fresh, contemporary finish.

When the lights come on at Melrose Arch, dinner starts here.

Under the warm lights of Melrose Arch, Taj shifts into evening mode with North Indian cooking at the table and fine w**e ready to pour. Tear into naan warm from the tandoor, choose the curry calling your name and settle in while the precinct glows around you.

Book your table via Dineplan or call 011 684 1257.

The naan has one job – leave no curry behind.

Fresh from the tandoor, it’s there for scooping, dipping and catching every last bit of that rich curry sauce. Bring the table together at Taj this week, order a curry that catches your eye and make sure there’s enough naan within arm’s reach.

At Taj, even the smallest details have a story behind them.

Elephants have held a treasured place in Indian culture for centuries, appearing throughout art, tradition and celebration with connections to strength, wisdom and prosperity.

Our little jewelled resident brings a touch of that heritage into the Taj dining room – one of the many thoughtful details that gives the space its warmth and character.

The flavours behind the feast.

North Indian cooking is layered with spices like earthy cumin, golden turmeric, warming cinnamon, fragrant cardamom, fiery chilli, cloves, coriander, mustard seeds and masalas blended for depth.

Each one adds its own colour, aroma and character – and you can taste that detail in every dish.

When the lights come on, dinner starts looking irresistible.

Winter nights at Melrose Arch were made for a slow stroll, glowing walkways and a table waiting inside. Add North Indian dishes full of spice, tandoor char, rich gravies, fresh naan and a glass of red nearby, and heading out suddenly sounds like the best idea.

Walk in or plan ahead via Dineplan or 011 684 1257.

If garlic naan had a best friend, lamb vindaloo would be it.

This favourite comes with real North Indian fire – slow-cooked lamb, potatoes, mustard seeds and whole red chillies in a bold gravy. Add garlic naan on the side and lunch or dinner gets a whole lot more satisfying.

Tear, scoop, swipe and repeat until there’s nothing left.
