We went to thanjai after 2 years . Service is terrible . Washroom are clean . Looking at the menu it looked like they were trying to make money on everything . If you want to order masala dosa you have to pay for dosa separately & masala was like a topping so you pay separate for it . We ordered paper masala dosa , rava onion masala dosa & simple paper dosa . Only rava dosa came out extremely soggy & had so many Thai chillies in it . Wanted to get it replaced but no one was coming to our table to hear or ask us about the order & we ended up eating that after removing chillies . We did complaint about it later on to the server who looked like she didn't care lol anyways other two dosas sambhar & chutney was reallly good .forgot to take picture of all the dosas but posting whatever I have .

Thanjai has always been that go-to place for South indian cuisine for us. Even though we make dosa, idli, vada at home, but sometimes you just want to go out & eat. This time, we decided to try the big dosa around 3ft-4ft, I guess. It's just a regular plain dosa, just bigger in size, & you get your sambhar, chutney, & potato mix on the side. Good enough for 2 ppl. We did order dahi vada on the side, chicken curry & mango lassi. Everything was really good.
