The butter chicken
The Taj Mahal at the factory shopping centre is decked out in Indian tapestries and has a great feel to it. The staff are very friendly and offer a great service. The menu has what you would typically expect from an Indian restaurant. Lamb, chicken, vegetable, and seafood curries. Lunch menus come in sets with a drink and delicious naan bread or rice. Soft drinks, juices, beer (including 2 Indian beers), and wines are all on the menu, though you cant go past the delicious lassi’s. So, if you are at the factory shopping centre for some shopping, to take in a movie, or just some window shopping , Taj Mahal is a good choice for a taste of India.

Delicious!
Taj Mahal, Niseko Annapurni serves up delicious meals in pure Indian style. The menu is the same as with the Sapporo restaurant. Set meals with naan, and a drink. Lamb, chicken, vegetable curries are available. The tandoori chicken is fantastic here! The Niseko branch restaurant has an open kitchen, so you can see the chefs working their magic. There is a stone kiln where the naan bread is made. During the winter, whats better than a nice spicy curry after a day of skiing!
