Reviews consistently praise Thanjai for authentic South Indian flavors delivered with freshness and balance, from fragrant biryani and rich goat dishes to crispy dosas and comforting sambar and avial. The banana leaf feast and a variety of thali options appear especially beloved, often described as homely and welcoming with dishes that feel prepared with care. Service is repeatedly highlighted as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with many noting staff who explain the menu and make good recommendations; some comments mention room for improvement in consistency and pacing during peak hours or lunch service. The restaurant is described as clean and well maintained, with a warm, family like vibe and a vibrant atmosphere, occasionally noted as a bit loud. Several reviewers travel long distances or visit multiple times, calling it a standout for South Indian cuisine in Montreal or in Quebec, and praising specific dishes such as chicken biryani, chicken kothu parota, dosa varieties, vatha bath kulambu, ashoka sweet, and payasam. While most experiences are positive, a few mention missing menu items or inconsistencies in service and vegan labeling, but the overall sentiment remains highly favorable and the place is often recommended and repeated as a must visit for fans of Tamil Nadu style cooking.

Good food but expensive for portion of curries & masala dishes. $15 for butter planner +$4 for plain rice. There were 6 pieces of cheese in the dish.

I ordered 2 Masala Dosa, 1 cheese dose & 1 Gobi Manchurian from Thanjai Brossard. This was going to be our valentines special dinner, however, it turned out to be the worst nightmare for us.

Reason being:
1. In place of masala dosa, we received pav bhaji dosa - I later received the email informing me that masala dosa was out of stock. However, they didn't bothered to ask me my preference if masala dosa was out of stock. They assumed that we like'Pav bhaji' Dosa & send us that, albeit, charging us extra $7 for the same. Imagine opening the box to eat our fav masala dosa but you literary find out another food.

2. My kid, while eating the cheese masala dosa showed me the long hair coming out of his dosa- I was very angry now, however remained silent not to ruin the occasion. Next, he showed me another hair- this time it was short & then I took over his plate & found out 2 more small hairs. That was it- I can't let my kid eat this shit. Then it was turn for my spouse to found another hair in pav bhaji dosa- & we had to throw away the complete food. We've to cook our dinner.

I took photos of the hair coming out of food & will attach the same- albeit now I see there's no attachment facility here

The food taste was plainly BAD but I wouldn't have took out time to write a bad review had the quality been acceptable. THIS IS TOTALLY SHIT FOOD. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS TO EAT YOUR HAIRS Worst experience to say the least & will inform everyone in my friend circle to avoid this outlet at every cost.
