Food: Excellent! Authentic taste. Samabar portions are small but taste is okay. Chutneys are delicious.
Service: It was a mess!!! I strongly recommend the restaurant management to hire a professional to streamline the entire operation from taking order to delivering food on time. When I was there from start to finish, it costed me nearly 2 h 45 min, that too after my inititative to pay up & leave. Some customers who got one dish & not other that go with it. Some were waiting for their food to arrive for nearly 1.5 h but still no sign of food. The people making mistakes with charges at the register- due to disorganization. When some error occurs due to wrong input of charges they had to run to call one person to fix the error. It looked like, this one person was handling ordering, serving, & even cooking some of the dishes. My own bill was wrongly charged but they took initiate to fix it. Like these, there were many more operational issues. The restaurant people are nice & patient, but they (manager/owner) should hire a professional to figure out how to make their day-to-day operation efficient. Spend some money to make customers & employees happy, otherwise...
One of the best South Indian restaurants in Montreal, strongly recommended, we tried Mysor dosa ,masala idly , carrot halwa , & gobi munchrian it was as per our expectations.
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
One of the best Indian meals I've had! The food was flavorful, fresh, & perfectly spiced. The portions were generous, & the staff made us feel very welcome. Looking forward to visiting again.
I had an amazing experience dining at this Indian restaurant. What really stood out was how unique the menu was-it went beyond the traditional dishes & offered creative flavours & regional specialties that made the meal feel exciting & memorable.
