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.
Family owned vibe, the restaurant as a good flow of custumers. I ordered a vegetarian Thali & was really satisfied with my meal. Service was quick & friendly, the pretty cashier was fun to talk to. My friend ordered lamb & buttered chicken & really enjoyed his meal too. One of the best place to go for a value wise indian restaurant in Montreal💪
Thali is one of my favorite Indian places for a quick meal. The food is always ready, all you have to do is choose what you want. This is a family owned restaurant, the flavours are authentic & feel like it was home made. The only issue is the consistency, the food can taste slightly different from time to time depends on who is the chef on that day.
It is very cheap compared to other places in Montreal, for 15$ you can get a big plate with rice, lentil soup, naan, & 3 curries of your choice. My go to are the butter chicken & the palak paneer.
One of the great Indian meal that i ate in my life. I sent there each time when i go to Montréal. Really good service too. What a nice nice tiny restaurant close to St-Catherine. A service in french could be complete for a perfect note.
Le meilleur resto indien a Montréal. Super service tout sourire & attentionné. Super petit resto près de Ste-Catherine. Un service en français complèterait pour une note parfaite.
Always the best good service. I've been coming here for years & the food has never disappointed. I feel like a lot of negative reviews are from people who are from Indian countries who are here in Canada & aren't happy the food isn't as authentic as back home. Regardless of it not being as authentic as some hole in the wall that you're used to back home, it's good food.
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.
Simply best value in the Concordia area for good thali. I am no expert in Indian food but I was quite happy. Just the right balance of spiciness & flavor. My regular place when I feel the craving for good Indian.
If you want food that feels like a hug , this is the place. Gives vibes of old Indian restaurant but the food , feels soothing! Must recommend. Si vous voulez de la nourriture qui ressemble à un câlin, c'est l'endroit qu'il vous faut. Cela donne l'ambiance d'un vieux restaurant indien mais la nourriture est apaisante ! Je dois le recommander.

I had the pleasure of dining at this Indian restaurant, & I must say it was an exceptional experience! The dishes were delicious, rich in flavors, & prepared with care. The ambiance was warm & welcoming, & the service was outstanding. The staff was very attentive & made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic & flavorful culinary experience. I will definitely be coming back!
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 most authentic Indian restaurant I've seen in Montréal. Everything is superb. Finger lickin good in every sense of the word. Melt in the mouth naan, mildly spicy almost oil free curries. Loved it!
