Taj Indian Cuisine is run by the Guntaka family in South Portland, founded by Sai Guntaka and his family in 2012. Chef Hemalatha Reddy Guntaka leads the kitchen, working with spices sourced directly from India and preparing dishes made fresh daily, including lamb vindaloo and handmade garlic naan. Sai and Sudarsana help run the dining room.
In 2024, Taj moved into a larger space that tripled its original footprint and added a bar serving cocktails inspired by Indian flavors alongside the existing menu.
Regulars point to consistent food and attentive service, and the restaurant has built a reputation as a local gem in South Portland. Taj has been reviewed by The Infatuation.
