Taj
Restaurant chain website
The website for Taj, an Indian restaurant chain in Nikko, Kawaguchiko and Okinawa. Visitors find their nearest branch, read the menu in English or Japanese, and book a table before they arrive.
Visit Live Site
Taj's three restaurants are in places full of travellers. Visitors need the right branch, a menu they can read and an easy way to book, and tour groups need a simple way to reserve tables for many guests at once.
Top highlights
Three branches, one website
Nikko, Kawaguchiko and Okinawa each have their own page with address, hours, phone and directions, all in one shared design.
Made for travellers on their phones
Most visitors look Taj up while they're out exploring. The site works smoothly on a phone, in English or Japanese, so they can decide where to eat in seconds.
The menu, before they walk in
Indian classics, Asian favourites and pizza, with halal, vegan and vegetarian options clearly marked, so every guest knows there's something for them.
Reviews that build trust
Real guest reviews sit right on the homepage, so first-time visitors can see that people enjoyed it before they decide.
What it changes for the restaurants
Bookings before arrival
Guests reserve online in their own language, so tables are planned ahead instead of handled at the door or over the phone.
Group bookings made simple
Travel agencies have their own booking form for groups, so large parties arrive with everything already arranged.
Staff update it themselves
Menus and photos are changed from a private dashboard, without waiting for a developer.

Bilingual Experience
Every page is fully translated into both English and Japanese. A session-based language switcher lets users toggle at any point in their visit, with the preference persisting as they move across pages.
Admin-managed Gallery
Restaurant staff upload and delete gallery photos from a password-protected admin panel. Each change is automatically committed and pushed to Git LFS, keeping images version-controlled without any manual git work.
Reservation & Contact Forms
Both individual diners and travel agencies can submit reservations through dedicated forms. Submissions are validated server-side and delivered via Gmail SMTP, with honeypot fields blocking bot spam.
