Very disappointing experience. The service was extremely disorganized. Our waitress kept bringing the wrong meals to the wrong people, forgot the kids' food, & served the adults first while the children were left waiting. We had a large group, but tables that arrived after us were served before we were. The staff seemed confused the entire time, & the long wait made the experience frustrating. I would not recommend this restaurant based on the poor service.

Yesterday, it was my first time in Thanjai Quebec, as i am from Brossard I am used to the restaurant of Montreal ans Brossard (closed now)I bought a paneer 65 for take-out, when I opened the the take-out box the portion handed to me was not even half the size of that shown in the picture. It was really disappointing to pay for such a small portion of paneer at $15,99. Besides the menu is very limited compared to that of my area.

We had an exceptional experience at Thanjai in Quebec.
The food was authentic, fresh, & absolutely delicious.
The staff provided outstanding service & made us feel truly welcome.
They were extremely attentive to our dietary allergies & handled our requests with great care.
Every dish was customized perfectly to suit our taste preferences.
They even accommodated us outside their regular business hours on a special request, which we greatly appreciated.
Their flexibility, hospitality, & commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart.
We highly recommend Thanjai to anyone looking for outstanding South Indian food & warm, personalized service.

We tried chicken 65, mysore masala dosa, & masala tea. Everything was good. The owner & staff were friendly. Good vibes

Service was slightly chaotic(they seemed to have forgotten about the dosa, tea or kitchen was swamped with orders) & we had to check two times, tea took quite some time at the end. i assume newer staff or maybe
newer restaurants. It was pretty busy.

But pretty good food & would definitely comeback when visiting Quebec next time
