During my trip from the US to Montreal, I stumbled upon Thanjay & had an unforgettable dinner experience. The flavors here are extraordinary-dishes like Chicken 777, Kili Paratha, Shrimp Fry, Tandoori chicken, & Hyderabadi Biryani blew me away. Every bite surpassed the last, so much so that I returned the next day for lunch. If you're in Montreal, I can't recommend this restaurant enough-it's a must-visit for any foodie.

Came for the chicken biryani! It was amazing! Shoutout to Rohit for being an amazing waiter & an even more amazing person! Will come back again!

I had an amazing experience at Thanjai! The goat biryani & Ashoka sweet were absolutely delightful, & the shrimp fry was outstanding. I'd also highly recommend trying their samosas & thattai snacks-they're a must!

In my opinion, the food was marvelous & magnificent ! But the mango lassi was a bit off. The chicken biryani was on top notch. The shrimp fry was outstanding . Excellent experience !!!
Cyril
Their Biryani & Dosa are some of the most flavorsome that I've had before. It is also just like an authentic restaurant in India.
Ramya
Ordered Ambur goat biryani & chicken 65. They made sure its medium mild, biryani was amazing reminded me of bangalore days when i was living there😍 it was so good! Same smell☺️
Prabha
Nice Indian place for dine in , they had great menu like Rasam, dosa, appetizers for travellers, we have been out of home for a week & was looking for simple home cooked food, this menu totally satisfied our needs with rasam & chicken 65, we also tried their dosa it was good , the biryani was just mediocre for us & rest of the dishes we tried were really great, we could see lots of people coming & having food from locals, that shows the food is really good here!!! The chicken noodles we tried was also good.

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.

1. Rasam: Rasam is a tangy South Indian soup made with tamarind, tomatoes, & a blend of spices like coriander, cumin, & pepper. It's typically served as a starter or mixed with rice. Rasam's refreshing flavor, coupled with its health benefits from the spices, makes it a delightful appetizer or accompaniment to any meal. 2. Sambar: Sambar is a lentil-based vegetable stew or soup that originated in South India. It's made with toor dal (pigeon peas), vegetables like carrots, potatoes, & drumsticks, & flavored with a unique blend of spices such as coriander, cumin, & fenugreek seeds. Sambar is often served with rice, idli, dosa, or vada. Its rich & savory taste, along with its versatility, makes it a staple in South Indian cuisine. 3. Kothu Paratha: Kothu Paratha is a popular street food in South India, especially in Tamil Nadu. It consists of shredded paratha (Indian flatbread) mixed with a variety of ingredients like onions, tomatoes, peppers, & spices, often including eggs or meat for added flavor. The mixture is stir-fried on a griddle with spices, creating a flavorful & satisfying dish. Kothu Paratha's unique texture & blend of flavors make it a favorite among locals & visitors alike. 4. Biryani: Biryani is a fragrant & flavorful rice dish that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It's made with basmati rice, meat (such as chicken, mutton, or beef), or vegetables, & a blend of aromatic spices like cardamom, cloves, & cinnamon. Biryani is typically cooked in layers, with the rice & meat or vegetables cooked separately & then layered together before being steamed. The result is a rich & aromatic dish with tender meat & perfectly cooked rice, often garnished with fried onions, nuts, & herbs. Biryani's complex flavors & hearty nature make it a beloved dish across the Indian subcontinent & beyond.
Poonam
Very good Indian food. Tried biryani, rava dosa & rasam. Everything was just yummy. One of the best rasams I have had in a while.
Arunan
Every dish is best especially tht Ashoka halwa & lamb biryani are worth trying
Sidra
Everything tasted extremely flavourful! Chicken 65 was so soft & juicy, the biryani rice could be eaten alone by itself, the tikka was just an add on. Certainly recommend everyone to come & eat here.

Quand j'ai vu le menu, j'ai été étonnée : je ne reconnaissais rien de ce que j'avais déjà mangé dans des restaurants indiens! C'est parce qu'ils font de la cuisine du sud de l'Inde, alors qu'habituellement les restos indiens offrent de la cuisine du nord de l'Inde. Il y avait plusieurs plats qui ressemblaient à des crêpes, alors nous les avons essayés. J'ai beaucoup aimé mon utthappam à l'oignon (à mi-chemin entre une pizza & une crêpe) & mon biryani au mouton! J'ai goûté à trois sortes de dosas, & ils étaient tous délicieux! Mention spéciale au Chili Idly (visuellement, ça ressemblait à des pierogis, mais ça goûtait encore meilleur que des pierogis!), qui avaient une texture & un goût divins!
Le service était un peu étrange; la serveuse nous répondait quelquefois comme si elle aurait aimé mieux être ailleurs, mais somme toute, ça s'est bien déroulé! Je vais y retourner pour essayer d'autres plats inédits!
