A Family Tradition of Fresh, Homemade Cooking
From our kitchen to your table, every dish is prepared with care, using fresh ingredients and time-honored recipes.
A Family Tradition of Fresh, Homemade Cooking
Welcome to Taj Mahal, Idaho’s oldest family-run Indian restaurant, serving the community since 2002. My name is Sohail Ishaq, and this restaurant is more than just a business—it’s a part of my family. From the moment you walk in, we want you to feel like a guest in our home.
One Chef, One Passion – Fresh & Made with Love
At Taj Mahal, our kitchen is led by one chef—my mother. She has spent decades perfecting each dish, cooking with the same love she gives our family. If it’s not good enough for us, it’s not good enough for you.
Spices are toasted fresh when you order, never sitting in a pot all day.
Every dish is made to your preference—bold and flavorful or mild and comforting.
We offer a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options, all prepared with care.
A True Boise Experience – More Than Just a Meal
At Taj Mahal, we believe food brings people together. As one of the few owner-operated restaurants in downtown Boise, we offer more than just great Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
Enjoy live music and cultural events in a warm, welcoming space.
Choose from over 40 carefully selected beers, including microbrews and IPAs.
Share family-style meals made from scratch, just like home.
With thousands of five-star reviews, we’re grateful for a community that keeps coming back!
