Très bon! La soupe Dal (lentilles , curry & poivre ) est merveilleuse. Bon prix. Pas besoin de dessert le lassi sucré fera l'affaire. Ambiance calme, endroit propre & service amical. Si vous voulez essayer la vrai cuisine indienne la Thanjai en vaut définitivement le coup. Allez peu à peu, certains plats ont l'air petit mais on est bien vite satisfait. Le nan est fait maison, chaud & super bon! 🤩

We had dinner for two on a Sunday evening, & it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant was quite empty, so the food arrived quickly & was served piping hot. As is typical with excellent Tamil cuisine, the dishes were incredibly flavorful, prepared with quality ingredients, & perfectly spiced. My only suggestion would be to enhance the service slightly by having staff check in more frequently, clear empty plates, & be a bit more proactive.
