Sathish is one of the best restaurant hosts in the city. I've always had excellent service here. As a Tamilian from Mumbai, Thanjai feels like a home away from home. & the food is flavourful, subtle, & is not an assault on the senses like most other Indian restaurants in the city. Food that feeds the soul anyways. Update: They also sell the best idli batter here. I have never made idlis before but it was incredibly easy with their batter (photos attached)

The dosas are the best in Montreal, Coconut Chutney, Tomato chutney are very good so is the sambar. I like their Medhu Vada but I will not recommend their Idlis too hard for my liking. Service very good. Overall good experience
