Saxonville Restaurant Closes

An Indian themed restaurant, which opened in August 2014, turned its licenses into town hall last week, and has closed.

Taj Indian Cuisine, turned in both its restaurant and all-alcohol licenses to the Selectmen’s office at the Memorial Building last week.

The restaurant, which served authentic flavors from North Indian and a few delicacies from South India, opened at 62 Water Street, across from the McAuliffe library branch, in a building formerly occupied by a Chinese restaurant and originally built for a Friendly’s.

The restaurant’s menu included naan, chicken curry, tandoori shrimp, veggie pakora, and mango lassi.

Taj Indian Cuisine also offered a vegan menu, an all-you-can-eat-buffet, and had a full bar.

Before it closed, it was open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for lunch 7 days a week. It was open for dinner 5 to 10 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday and 5 to 11 p.m. on the weekends.

At Taj Indian Cuisine, customers were treated to North Indian style cooking, prepared from a selection of Mughlai recipes.

Mughlai dishes originated in the 16th Century and were specifically prepared for the Moghul Emperors with the influence of Muslim cooking, said its web site.
