Taj Mahal Mediterranean and Indian Cuisine plans to open on Aug. 10 or soon thereafter at 1520 Market Street in Little Rock. Former New York restaurateur Jay Riaz is the owner. The focus, despite the restaurant’s name, will be Indian, with only a few Mediterranean dishes on the menu.

The restaurant plans to be open daily for lunch and dinner and for brunch on the weekend. The current phone number is 631-455-0755 and the website is tajmahalar.com.
