We had an exceptional experience at Thanjai in Quebec.
The food was authentic, fresh, & absolutely delicious.
The staff provided outstanding service & made us feel truly welcome.
They were extremely attentive to our dietary allergies & handled our requests with great care.
Every dish was customized perfectly to suit our taste preferences.
They even accommodated us outside their regular business hours on a special request, which we greatly appreciated.
Their flexibility, hospitality, & commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart.
We highly recommend Thanjai to anyone looking for outstanding South Indian food & warm, personalized service.

We tried chicken 65, mysore masala dosa, & masala tea. Everything was good. The owner & staff were friendly. Good vibes

Service was slightly chaotic(they seemed to have forgotten about the dosa, tea or kitchen was swamped with orders) & we had to check two times, tea took quite some time at the end. i assume newer staff or maybe
newer restaurants. It was pretty busy.

But pretty good food & would definitely comeback when visiting Quebec next time

I truly appreciate the kindness & exceptional service the staff showed my family. We arrived with a group of 25 people &, with only about 10 minutes' notice, they graciously accommodated all of us. Despite the many requests coming from every direction, they remained patient, attentive, & welcoming throughout our visit.

I ordered the vegetable noodles & the butter paneer masala, & both were absolutely delicious! The butter paneer masala was so good that I couldn't leave without buying a container of the sauce to take home. I can't wait to recreate the flavors at home.

This was my first time dining here, & it certainly won't be my last. The combination of outstanding food & genuinely caring service made for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this restaurant, & I'll definitely be back soon!
