Review Summary

Thali offers a great value with generous portions and a mix of meat and vegetarian options, making it a solid choice for students, quick meals, or casual outings; many reviews praise tasty, well-balanced dishes like butter chicken, palak paneer, and dal, and naan and samosas are frequent favorites; the family-owned vibe, friendly and efficient service, and affordable pricing stand out, though some visits note occasional inconsistencies in taste or service, parking or ambiance issues, and a few meals that fall short (such as missing rice in a thali or a spoiled raita); takeout and delivery are praised for reliability, and the overall impression is that Thali is a dependable, inexpensive option for Indian food in Montreal, with regulars and newcomers alike leaving satisfied by flavor variety and value.

I usually come here to eat big tasty portions of food with my friends & we loved the place , but this time we found this servant her attitude was so mean & her facial expressions when preparing my order is so disappointing, also we got used to be served big portions of meat & rice , i would recommend this restaurant only if they changed the girl working there

Got a vegetarian thali to share with my girlfriend. Lots of food, definitely worth the price. It's buffet style so quick service but you can't make any adjustments to the food. But food is very tasty as is. Atmosphere is okay. For a quick tasty cheap meal I'd come again.

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 butter chicken was very tasty to me. Also had their beef but the soup of it felt watery. Pani puri was not good at all. I thought the place & people were good until the guy with the big eyes kept looking at my female friends' bare legs as she was wearing a skirt. I kept wondering why he kept looking at my table, specifically towards her. Then we were leaving & he kept his gaze on her legs. Very uncomfortable. That moment was when we will never come back again despite the authenticity it brought & the good meals (aside from the pani puri & the watery beef).

The atmosphere is definetely not good, but I see people enjoying the food instead, which is fair enough. The food itself was of great taste. Veg thali was delightful & tasty.

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.

Every time I visit, I notice a Gujarati student from Concordia University who is excellent at communicating with us. He puts a lot of heart into his work. Overall, the food is very tasty!

I went to school with the 2 brothers.
After eating there today, after almost 30 years, for the first time.
With 2 other friends from school also.
My mind was racing. I ran into a very talented lawyer, who lives maybe a block away, who enjoyed the food there too.
After tasting the food, I remembered how a bunch of people had mentioned back in the day the 2 boys mom cooked very good food.
I remembered that lawyer saying the same.
Imagine? After tasting the food, I remembered all the stuff people told me about!
That's how much I enjoyed it.
I wish I had gone sooner.
Honestly, I'm a big guy. For the price
(& I was hungry) it's alot of food.
I ate around 2, it's 8pm now. I'm still full.
Definitely value for your money.
IMO very tasty.
Sending love & blessings to the Ahuja family, thank you for sharing your family's food!!!
💙 💜 😃 😊 😀
