One of Beijing's oldest Indian restaurants, this classy restaurant's small dining room holds only a few tables, nicely dressed in white linen, with subtle decor refreshingly free of camp. Food and service are both consistently high quality. Recommended dishes include vegetable kofta curry (deep-fried vegetables in tomato-based curry sauce), palak paneer (spinach curry), rogan josh (mutton in spicy tomato curry), and chicken tikka masala (marinated chicken in rich tomato sauce) -- all authentic, thick, and deceptively filling. A second branch recently opened at the Holiday Inn Lido.

Indian food is as diverse as many ethnic and cultural groups in India. Tradition, ethnicity, geographic location, religion or individual preference defines a typical meal Thali.

Taj Pavilion is a relatively standard Indian restaurant and its cuisine is strongly characterized of the Indian style and its service is also quite good.
