Thali draws praise for flavorful, affordable Indian food with generous portions and quick service, with standout items including butter chicken, shahi paneer, palak paneer, lamb curry, samosas, naan, and hearty thali platters that many consider among the best around. The dining experience is described as unpretentious, satisfying, and versatile for takeout or dine-in, supported by consistently friendly and efficient staff and good value for the money. While the fare is widely appreciated, some reviews note occasional inconsistency in taste from day to day, a few dishes that fall short or arrive with issues, and remarks about ambiance, cleanliness, or parking. Overall, Thali is seen as a dependable, tasty option for fast Indian fare that many patrons return to year after year, a go‑to for big portions, variety, and approachable prices.
A flavour of India!! Loved their food. You'll get roti, nan, samosa, chicken curry, lamb curry, paneer, fuchka, snacks, what not!! Quality & quantity both are good. Good for a takeaway/ dine in, they are super quick in food delivery.

Thali is my go-to for Indian street food. I always get the non-vegetarian thali with butter chicken, palak paneer, & lamb curry-but the vegetarian options are just as good! I also love their garlic naan & samosas, & the staff is always super friendly.
Best Indian food in Montreal! I know the place since over 15 years, it's legendary! Amazing tasty food, generous portions, low prices, spicy just perfect, all their dishes are delicious, my favorites are the butter chicken, palak paneer, lamb curry, their naan & rice, gulab jamun, & tandoori chicken! But really, everything is excellent! I love how the taste of dishes is constant & always great, that you can count that it is always good, also not oily. The family is so nice, polite, & makes it a great experience! I like how it's not a service at the table, more like a buffet that they serve you, nothing fancy & friendly ambiance! A must if you visit downtown Montreal! Don't miss it!
The food is fresh late evenings if your ordering non-veg thali in the afternoons never try chicken curry & butter chicken coz you would probably get rotten chicken
Really love this place. My favourite desi food in downtown. My go to is the meat thali with: lamb curry, chicken curry & Aloo gobi. Food is always consistent & affordable. The portions are big & very filling. Also would like to mention the employee at the register Nitin, who is very welcoming & a treat to talk to. It was very nice to see him treat all his customers with care & sincerity.
Went to grab lunch with a friend. Very convenient & quick. The food is great but I would've expected the curry to be a bit more spicy. However, the service is impeccable & the portion sizes are generous. I would come back again!
