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.

I recently visited Thali Cuisine Indienne & had both the vegetarian & non-vegetarian thalis.
Vegetarian Thali:
Onion Curry: 10/10 ⭐ - Absolutely delicious & full of flavor.
Baingan Bharta: 9/10 - Smoky, well-seasoned, & very enjoyable.
Palak Paneer: 7/10 - Good, but could have had a richer flavor.
Served with rice & naan.
Non-Vegetarian Thali:
Chicken Curry: 10/10 ⭐ - The standout dish; perfectly spiced & very flavorful.
Butter Chicken: 7/10 - Decent, though it didn't stand out compared to the chicken curry.
Lentils (Dal): 7/10 - Good, but fairly average.
Served with rice & naan.
I'd definitely recommend this restaurant, especially for the onion curry, chicken curry, & baingan bharta. If you enjoy authentic Indian thalis with generous portions, it's well worth a visit. Overall rating: 8.8/10.

(This is a review on my past order from Thali, this does not reflect my opinions & thoughts on their food overall)

Today I ordered my usual, which is the Khadi & Butter Chicken (2 BC & 1 K / 2Meat 1 Veg). This is a usual order for me, the butter chicken is great, much better than most places I've had & the Khadi is my absolute favourite dish. Everytime I order, things are consistent & delicious. However, this order was really unfortunate. I am not posting this because I am upset but disappointed & I'm sure this is a one time thing. Long story short, my butter chicken came burnt. Imagine a burnt Mac & cheese flavour & it was the exact same. I don't know how they prep food for take-out orders, but I was really bummed when I had my first bite & the sauce was very burnt & practically inedible.

I have been eating here for the almost four years I've lived in the city, & I've tried many places but stay loyal to Thali for its prices, food & quality service. The review I left in stars is how I felt & still feel about it, but I felt the need to post my problem today as I hope this isn't something that continues on.

All the best to the staff at Thali, as you guys do great work still!
