The patterned Pyrex plates on the tables have not been in production for years. It's the first sign, if you need one, that little has changed in decades in this tucked away part of the Melbourne Building.
The Taj Mahal Restaurant is up a flight of stairs from Northbourne Avenue. A neon sign might encourage you, but it's the kind of place you seek out rather than stumble across. It's dark with wood trim everywhere. It is the type of restaurant where plans are hatched, schemes are made and stories are told.
