The food was absolutely authentic & amazing. The chicken was cooked to perfection & the parrota was extremely flaky. The atmosphere was even better as shown in the pictures. The service was excellent & even though it was crowded they handled everyone with patience.

We had a really nice experience at Tanjai Restaurant! We tried the chicken murtabak/salna, ghee masala dosa, & a Mickey Mouse dosa for our little one. It was my first time trying chicken murtabak with salna, & I really enjoyed it.

The food was tasty, portions were decent, & the atmosphere was pleasant. The restaurant was quite crowded when we visited, which was understandable, but the staff were still very friendly & attentive. 😊

The washroom was also clean, which is always a plus. Overall, a good family-friendly place with good food, generous portions, & great staff. Definitely worth trying!

Went for dinner last night with my wife & every single dish was a 10 out of 10. The food is authentic & the flavors are incredible; you can taste that it's fresh & made with care. Great selection too, so many options to choose from that we're already planning to go back & work through the menu. Warm spot, easygoing vibe, & a real taste of South India right here in Montreal. Highly recommend.
