Découvrez le Thanjai, un restaurant authentique du sud de l’Inde, et dégustez-y une cuisine principalement végétarienne, dont plusieurs plats non végétariens. Notre spécialité consiste à recréer les vraies saveurs originaires du sud de l’Inde, au grand bonheur des adeptes de cette gastronomie!
Les avis sur Thanjai soulignent une authentique cuisine sud-indienne avec des plats frais et riches en saveurs, des dosas croustillants et des biryanis qui font l'unanimité, le tout présenté de manière soignée dans un cadre propre et agréable. Le service est globalement rapide, attentif et chaleureux, avec un personnel qui prend le temps d'expliquer le menu et de recommander les plats selon les préférences des clients. L'ambiance est souvent décrite comme conviviale et familiale et les plats reçus comme délicieux et authentiques, parfois jusqu'à l'impression d'un repas fait maison. Certaines critiques portent sur des incohérences de service ou des éléments manquants du menu, ou sur des temps d'attente plus longs pour les groupes et sur quelques plats qui ne répondent pas exactement aux attentes. Beaucoup soulignent des plats phares tels que le goat biryani, le banana leaf feast, les dosas et divers curries, et l'expérience tout entière est perçue comme une valeur sûre et une des meilleures adresses sud-indiennes à Montréal. Globalement, Thanjai est recommandé pour la diversité végétarienne abondante et les saveurs authentiques, avec l'espoir que la constance et le service restent à la hauteur lors de visites futures.
I ordered chicken fried rice & butter chicken. The rice was okay, but the butter chicken tasted very bad. Some of the food was tasty, but some of it was not good.
You can try more better guys
I visited from Vancouver on a business trip & tried the killi poratta with chicken lollipop-it instantly reminded me of my hometown, Sivakasi. Amazing service & excellent food quality. This is always my go-to restaurant in Montreal.

Called to ask about vegan options. I started in French & the call was immediately disconnected. When I called again, I was abruptly told'Speak in English,' & my question was answered with a blunt'No.'
Not having vegan options is perfectly fine, but the lack of service in French & responding so dismissively shows very poor customer service.
Excellent experience! The restaurant offers authentic South Indian taste with fantastic & delicious flavors. Every dish was fresh, well-prepared, & truly amazing.
The staff communication is very good & friendly. They take time to explain the menu & recommend the best dishes based on your preference, which makes the experience even better.
The service is fast & efficient. The restaurant is very clean & well-maintained. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful & professional, & the taste is absolutely fantastic.
Overall, amazing food, great customer service, fast service, & a clean environment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for real South Indian cuisine!
We hosted a party at Thanjai Restaurant yesterday with a vegetarian menu, & all our guests truly enjoyed the delicious food.The party hall was perfect for small events, & the staff were very kind & helpful throughout. I highly recommend Thanjai for small celebrations!

A truly satisfying South Indian meal! The sambar instantly took me back to Chennai comforting, nostalgic, & full of authentic flavour
I tried their Veg Thali, & it felt very homely. It comes with three different vegetable preparations, giving a nice balance & a good carb fibre split. Everything tasted fresh & thoughtfully prepared. Definitely a solid 4.5/5 for the Veg Thali.
The Egg Biryani was decent - I'd rate it 3/5. It lacked the depth of flavour you'd typically expect from a non-veg biryani.
However, their Chicken 777 is a must-try! It's similar to Chicken 65 but tossed in flavorful Indo-Chinese style sauces bold, slightly spicy, & very satisfying. Easily a 4/5.
They also make a wide range of South Indian snacks like murukku or chakli, thattai, ribbon pakoda, & more & they're very reasonably priced. I tried the butter murukku, thattai, & ribbon pakoda, & they were excellent. Honestly, I'd consider ordering directly from them instead of buying from a grocery store!
If you're craving authentic South Indian comfort food & snacks, this place is definitely worth a visit
Ordered the ambur goat biryani for my party of 10 pax it was absolutely phenomenal ,
perfectly cooked, fragrant, & packed with rich flavours & right balance of spices.
The delivery on time as promised at 1130 am with the extra treats were such a thoughtful surprise! They were just as delicious & added an extra layer of joy to the whole experience. It honestly felt like a generous homemade feast rather than just a meal. Highly recommend & deeply appreciated!
We visited Thanjai for dinner yesterday with our family m. This was our 4th time here, & it's officially our favorite South Indian restaurant so far! We're from Ottawa, & it's honestly hard to find authentic, satisfying South Indian food there. We've been searching in both Ottawa & Toronto, & we're so happy to have found this gem.
Our kids (6 & 10) always look forward to eating here. Our absolute favorites are the Chicken 65 Biryani & Chicken Kothu Parota both are consistently delicious. The quality of the food & the service are always top notch.
Yesterday we didn't have any plans, so we literally drove to Montreal just to enjoy Thanjai's food , it's that good! We would be thrilled if they ever opened a branch in Ottawa.
Highly recommended!

We visited this restaurant for the first time with high expectations. I went with my husband & brother, & the restaurant looked nice from the inside, which made us feel hopeful about the experience.
We ordered Chicken Lollipop, Chicken 777, Masala Dosa, & Chicken Curry Dosa. Our food arrived within 20-25 minutes, but unfortunately, the taste was very disappointing. None of the dishes were good, & we were extremely dissatisfied.
What made the experience worse was that from the next day onwards, all three of us had stomach issues, including vomiting & stomach pain. We usually go out for dinner once a week & enjoy exploring different restaurants, but something like this has never happened to us before.
Overall, it was a very bad experience, & I would not recommend this place.

Friendly staff & have a good memory
