Loya

Rich authentic Indian food pleases like no other and Taj Palace has opened doors to a new restaurant for fine dining in North Indian style, Loya. Fragrant spices of the North bloom in hot ghee to create signature preparations of traditional dishes passed down over generations, which unravel the secrets of traditional cooking styles. The Dumba Kadhai from ‘Pella Swaad’, prepared in a classic cast-iron kadhai with aromatic fresh chilli and cracked black pepper and Bharwan Karare Kulche, served with pindi chhole and haldi-mooli kus are some of the dishes to try.

Named after a Pashtun word meaning “a feast gathering,” Loya brings to life the rich culinary heritage of North India, Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh. The design draws from the five elements of life and the rivers of Punjab, blending Rajasthani jharokhas, Mughal-era textures, and vibrant tapestries that echo traditional marketplaces. The ambience pairs rustic charm with modern elegance, while age-old cooking techniques like dum, bhagaar, dungar, and sigdi infuse every dish with depth and flavour.
