We had Chicken 65 Briyani, Chicken 65 & Egg Kothu. Food was good & authentic. One of the go-to place for Dosa in Montreal.

We visited this place at a friend's recommendation. We ordered plain masala dosa, mutton biryani & veg fried rice. The dosa was the closest thing to the authentic dosa I had in Andhra. Mutton biryani has changed in taste & tasted better before is what my friend said. The veg fried rice was nice & spicy. You must try this restaurant. Service is amazing, the staff & service is very timely. The ambiance will take you to Thanjavur.

Today I visited the restaurant & ordered mini tiffin. Food taste was good. However I find chutney was not enough to eat 2 idli & 1 vada & pongal. The chutney cups were half filled. Idili was good. Vada was good too. Sambar tasted very much like rasam with vegetables. I requested more chutney & they gracefully provided more. Thank you. The mini dosa was good, but they dint filled potato 🥔 filling inside, saw just one piece of potato filling. Finally the kesari, they tried really hard to fill the cup, but weren't successful, it's also half filled. & I felt it's dry & not very fresh. They gave me filter coffee , the taste was authentic but not warm enough & half cup of coffee. They dint take cash. Overall my experience was avg. not worth the money 💰.

"I have been a regular patron of Thanjai Restaurant for some time now, & I must say, the quality of their food has always been exceptional. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying their offerings from their new cloud kitchen, & I was thoroughly impressed. The flavors were as authentic & delightful as ever, & the convenience of ordering from their cloud kitchen was a welcome addition. I highly recommend Tanjo Box cloud kitchen to anyone looking for delicious South Indian cuisine delivered right to their doorstep."

On Christmas Day, we dined at Thanjai & were pleasantly surprised by the swift seating despite the busy holiday. The restaurant's ambiance was basic, but the food was exceptional. The highlight was the Kothu Parotta, which was outstanding. We also savored the Chicken Chettinad with rice, a dish that was truly impressive. Service was prompt, giving us an authentic Tamil Nadu dining experience. Surprisingly, even the Indo-Chinese dishes like fried rice & Gobi Manchurian were perfectly prepared. The meal was definitely worth the cost. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed on Boxing Day, or we would have gladly eaten there again.

What this restaurant lacks in atmosphere it more than makes up for in the quality, authenticity, variety & deliciousness of the food. We will definitely be going back again & again.
