A truly satisfying South Indian meal! The sambar instantly took me back to Chennai comforting, nostalgic, & full of authentic flavour

I tried their Veg Thali, & it felt very homely. It comes with three different vegetable preparations, giving a nice balance & a good carb fibre split. Everything tasted fresh & thoughtfully prepared. Definitely a solid 4.5/5 for the Veg Thali.

The Egg Biryani was decent - I'd rate it 3/5. It lacked the depth of flavour you'd typically expect from a non-veg biryani.

However, their Chicken 777 is a must-try! It's similar to Chicken 65 but tossed in flavorful Indo-Chinese style sauces bold, slightly spicy, & very satisfying. Easily a 4/5.

They also make a wide range of South Indian snacks like murukku or chakli, thattai, ribbon pakoda, & more & they're very reasonably priced. I tried the butter murukku, thattai, & ribbon pakoda, & they were excellent. Honestly, I'd consider ordering directly from them instead of buying from a grocery store!

If you're craving authentic South Indian comfort food & snacks, this place is definitely worth a visit

We visited Thanjai for dinner yesterday with our family m. This was our 4th time here, & it's officially our favorite South Indian restaurant so far! We're from Ottawa, & it's honestly hard to find authentic, satisfying South Indian food there. We've been searching in both Ottawa & Toronto, & we're so happy to have found this gem.

Our kids (6 & 10) always look forward to eating here. Our absolute favorites are the Chicken 65 Biryani & Chicken Kothu Parota both are consistently delicious. The quality of the food & the service are always top notch.

Yesterday we didn't have any plans, so we literally drove to Montreal just to enjoy Thanjai's food , it's that good! We would be thrilled if they ever opened a branch in Ottawa.

Highly recommended!

A meal that truly felt like home!!

Eating at Thanjai Restaurant was more than just a meal, it felt like being welcomed into a warm, traditional home. The banana leaf feast was thoughtfully served, & every dish carried authenticity & comfort.

The vatha/bath kulambu was unforgettable rich, tangy, & deeply flavorful, exactly the way it should be. The sambar was hearty & soothing, & the rasam was light, peppery, & refreshing, bringing perfect balance to the meal. The avial was especially touching-it tasted so homely & comforting that it genuinely reminded me of my mother's cooking. Ending the meal with the rava laddu was pure happiness soft, aromatic, & just sweet enough to leave you smiling.

What truly made the experience special was the service. It was absolutely out of this world. Rohit & Shweta went above & beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Their warmth, attentiveness, & genuine care elevated the entire experience & made us feel truly valued.

From the food to the hospitality, everything came together beautifully. The whole experience was simply awesome, & Thanjai Restaurant is a place I'll happily return for the flavors, the memories, & the heartfelt service.

Authentic south indian restaurant. Just finished a scrumptious banana leaf non-veg lunch & it's completely worth the price. This is going to be one of our favourite restaurants in Montreal.
