A must visit for any occasion. The food quality has remained the same even after all this time. The dosas & idlis are amazing. My little kids get excited whenever we have to go for a meal.

We have ordered Veg kothu parotta & paneer butter masal from Thanjai. To be honest, one of the worst paneer butter masala ever had. It was just like a colour powder & sugar added in water & gave. Totally not worth the money & not recommandable. P.S - Veg kothu taste good, no complaints Updated based on the reply from the owner : This wasnt my first experience. Earlier when I visited ordered masala dosa & rava onion dosa. When it was delivered to table it was Rava masala dosa(P.S - Rava dosa delivered as Rava masala dosa). The actually problem is with the masala, it was stale.We informed the same but it was really suprising to hear the response that the chef didnt get the smell. But in the final bill the restaurant didnt charge for the rava dosa, if its really not the case then this deduction wont have happened. Some time things happen out of control but this restaurtant is not ready to accept it. We request to check the quality before its actually delivered to dine in/take out. We do see your restaurant has won awards, but all days the taste of the food is not same is our only concern. We have visited Thanjai thrice so far hoping each time we get better food but each time it was disappointing in one way or other.

"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."
