I just had Veg thali in Thanjai. It is really mind blowing & all the items were top notch. I would say this is the best south Indian Thali I ever had in Montreal. So many varieties of veg curries & Kara kozhambu, which is something a must try. Keep up the good work Thanjai.

The food & services were amazing. Even though the restaurant was closing at 10 PM, we arrived with a group of 20 people at 9:30 PM. They were very accommodating, letting us all in & preparing our meals without rushing us out. The food was incredible, & everyone loved it. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic South Indian cuisine.
