Amazing food, esp the banana leaf platte

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.
