We booked an onam sadhya here & was very disappointed. Although the food was tasty, the festival special was very poorly managed. Lack of staff apart, the guy didn't know what was what. When asking for payasam he would offer the moru.
& we had some items missing from the advertised menu as well such as pulliserry, inji puli, rasam which never even made it to our table. Also they totally forgot to put glasses or offer water.
There was also a lot of waiting to get the actual curries that go with the meal. Disappointing experience, but the payasam was excellent, I would much rather if they offered parcels to go for the sadhya.
Hope you guys improve on the service next time & advertise what you will actually provide on the menu. Disappointed!

When you advertise for a special meal, make sure all the dishes are ready & available. I did not want white rice & l came for Matta rice. This is not Kerala Sadhya. Sadhya Sambar, Pulinji etc nothing was authentic Kerala style.

We visited this gem of a place while visiting Montreal. The food was very delicious & tasty. My kids ordered the Mickey mouse dosa & we ordered the paper masala dosa with idlinvada combo. Also the owner was super helpful!! Do visit if you are in town!

Overall experience was wonderful. Really worth traveling for 400kms to just have their Ashoka sweet & Samosa. Their curry dosa is mouth watering. Thanks you, Thanjai for your hospitality.

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!
