Really professional employees! They even accomodated for our request & made us a dish that wasn't originally in the menu. It's definitely comeback again.

Le dahl etait completement liquide sans texture, donc on ne voyait ni sentait pas les lentilles. Les sauces & le sambar etaient correctes mais au gout ca laisse a desirer. Il y a de meilleures options. Le idly avait bonne texture mais trop salee.

I am a regular customer at thanjai restaurant near Plamondon metro from last 2 years. & I order mango lassi as take away every week, today even after giving instructions & requested multiple times to tape the mango lassi as it's take away, the person who was packing didn't tape it properly & gave me open mango lassi & lied saying he taped. There were other valuables I kept with that box & I almost ruined $100 worth my stuff because of that guy. He is the with specs in the restaurant. Very bad experience for the first time & might not want to visit again.
