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.
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.

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!
I've been going to this restaurant since it opened, & it continues to be great. Delicious food for a very reasonable price. I particularly like the palak paneer & the chana samosa. The place itself is serviceable & not fancy, but the food is good enough I often bring friends visiting from out of town here.
no goodI don't know what wrong I did. I just tried to order food & they sent me spices in oil. The paneer is chewy & spongy. Looks like it's been frozen or old. I would not recommedn
