Thali is described across reviews as a casual, family owned spot in Montreal that delivers flavorful Indian fare at affordable prices with generous portions; the most praised items include butter chicken, garlic naan, samosas, and a variety of curries, and the thali formats and variety are popular for value; service is repeatedly noted as friendly and efficient, with many customers returning for reliable quality and quick options, while the space itself is described as simple or plain and sometimes crowded or in need of a refresh; some meals are flagged for inconsistencies in taste or preparation and a few notes mention issues like burnt naan, overly rice heavy plates, or a spoiled raita, as well as occasional delivery hiccups; overall, it is frequently called one of the best Indian options around, recommended for a satisfying, flavorful meal that feels like home cooking, with a strong emphasis on affordable pricing and a broad selection that keeps guests coming back.
Amazing! I would rate it 6 stars if I could. My friend & I both got platters of about 2 kinds of meats, rice, naan, a veggie dish & a lentil dish + samosas, & it was incredibly delicious!

So, we've now sampled the entire menu over a few weeks.
& the verdict is out: it is very meh. But thankfully they aren't the only brown spot in the area anymore.
The naan is somehow burnt & raw. Like thawed uncooked chapati.
Rice is nothing to write home about, but edible.
The veggies & legumes are all just fine.
The desserts…. a-ok.
The beef tastes like bark.
The lamb is ordinary.
The chicken is very good.
But the butter chicken? I suspect their sauce's secret is Kraft Dinner powder.
It used to be very good (many years ago). Not sure what happened! We would order often in the past & were never dissatisfied, what a shame.
Only thing worth something is the samosas! For 1.75$, they are actually very good & filling. Ideal for broke students!
I'm giving an extra star for the very clever comment replies that the management leaves! Pure snotty gold! But seriously, don't go there. We have so many alternatives now.
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.
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.
Had a great experience. Everything was very fresh & delicious. Must try Indian restaurant in town. Specially there samosas are best in whole Montreal. Will visit again for sure & will recommend everybody near & dear.

These are the best , most filling, absolutely delicious samosas I've ever had & will ever have. When I crave them nothing can stop me from getting them. It has become my tradition & my religion to enjoy this delightful food every two weeks. For anyone giving this restaurant less than 5 stars. I don't really comprehend your thought process.
I love this place plain & simple. Had to leave a review. The food is excellent, the staff is very kind & friendly not to mention fast with your order. & the prices are extremely reasonable in this economy. I just tried their butter chicken for the 1st time & it was out of this world. If you're reading this, definitely try it for yourself. Also recommend the Samosas in general. So yummy!
A nice Indian restaurant near Guy station where you can grab a quick bite. They have a small menu & some of them are my favorite dishes like chhole bhature, samosa chat, samosa, & fried rice. They also offer Thali, but I'm not a big fan of it. Desserts are okay. The service is quick, & the seating area is small but does the job.

Possibly the best samosas I've enjoyed in Montreal. Good value for money, food was informally good & fresh. Definitely not the prettiest place, so do takeout if it's date night, but great for a quick bite.
