Had the most delicious shrimp curry at this place. Such a complex blend of flavors with just the right amount of heat. Wait time to order & wait for your food is very reasonable. Also, the staff are so kind & attentive. Would definitely recommend this place as your next casual Indian meal! Edit: I forgot to mention that everything on their menu is very well labelled for most major food restrictions. I have celiac & it was so clear which items on the menu were gluten free, which is so appreciated!!

For the lack of Kerala restaurants in Montreal, was glad to see a Tamil place step up & do a sadya for Onam. Didn't expect it to be close to what we have in Kerala in terms of number of items & whatnot, but whatever they had for the sadya, they did it really well. The varutharacha sambar & jackfruit payasam deserves special mention. Had only been there once before for dosas, will be going back for more. Thanks team Thanjai, for making my Onam. Means a lot when you're far from home.

Discovered this place after 4 months in Montreal. Was homesick for South Indian food. The rice thali here took us back straight to India; authentic taste of Tamil Nadu! Generous veggie portions. Good ambience as well as service.

Really loved the food here! We came to visit Montréal & had twice from this restaurant. The masala dosa with both red & white chutney was so good.
