What this restaurant lacks in atmosphere it more than makes up for in the quality, authenticity, variety & deliciousness of the food. We will definitely be going back again & again.

Quite frankly the best butter chicken I've had. The naan was amazing too. Excellent service, quiet atmosphere. Definitely a place to checkout if you are visiting Montreal & looking for Indian food.

Was looking to have our first Thali lunch on a Sunday afternoon, but was a disappointment...with a lousy menu combination so no more Thali lunch ever at Thanjai. The host who met my partner was not very pleasant & possibly felt troubled to see a new guest arrive at almost closing time. Sorry we will not make you unpleasant by coming again for lunch. Yet you guys are great I believe for snacks.
