Review Summary

Thali is widely regarded as a go-to spot for authentic and affordable Indian cuisine, frequently praised for its generous portions, fresh naan, and consistent flavors. While many patrons highlight the butter chicken, lamb, and vegetarian thali options as standout choices, the experience is often defined by the friendly and accommodating service provided by the staff. Although the restaurant is highly valued for its value and taste, some feedback suggests that the physical space could benefit from renovations and increased cleanliness, and while service is typically efficient, occasional inconsistencies in food quality and staff interactions have been noted by a minority of visitors.

Not the fanciest Indian food but consistently hits the spot. I have had much worse Indian food in Montreal, in smaller portions, for twice the cost! The veg dishes are really nice.

Très bien pour la nourriture. À revoir les chaises / tables …. Peut être également un peu de rénovation.

I recently visited Thali Cuisine Indienne & had both the vegetarian & non-vegetarian thalis.
Vegetarian Thali:
Onion Curry: 10/10 ⭐ - Absolutely delicious & full of flavor.
Baingan Bharta: 9/10 - Smoky, well-seasoned, & very enjoyable.
Palak Paneer: 7/10 - Good, but could have had a richer flavor.
Served with rice & naan.
Non-Vegetarian Thali:
Chicken Curry: 10/10 ⭐ - The standout dish; perfectly spiced & very flavorful.
Butter Chicken: 7/10 - Decent, though it didn't stand out compared to the chicken curry.
Lentils (Dal): 7/10 - Good, but fairly average.
Served with rice & naan.
I'd definitely recommend this restaurant, especially for the onion curry, chicken curry, & baingan bharta. If you enjoy authentic Indian thalis with generous portions, it's well worth a visit. Overall rating: 8.8/10.
