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.

J'ai commandé Non-Veg Thali en pensant recevoir un repas complet comme celui présenté, avec riz, naan & plusieurs accompagnements. Malheureusement, le riz était totalement absent. Pour un plat aussi emblématique, c'est vraiment décevant. J'espère que ce genre d'oubli ne se reproduira pas.

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!

My opinion, The thali is not really value for quantity of food & only serves three curry. The taste was good, especially the naan.

Very delicious but also veeery spicy. Many vegetarian & vegan options. I couldn't eat naan (gluten allergy) in my dish so they gave me extra rice instead. Prices are pretty affordable. People working here are super nice & patient. The restaurant was very clean & cozy, not many seats but we found a place. I will be coming back.

Veg thali with pakodi kadhi, palak paneer, aloo baingan, rice & naan. Hot, tasty, homely food. Absolutely worth the money. Reasonably priced. Lovely people. Hole in the wall seating.
