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...
This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The customer service was extremely poor from the moment we arrived. After waiting over an hour for our food, the wrong dishes were brought to our table, which was incredibly frustrating after such a long wait.
When we tried to address the situation, the manager was unprofessional & avoided speaking with us. Instead of taking responsibility or trying to resolve the issue, he walked away & hid rather than addressing our concerns. That level of customer service is completely unacceptable.
Mistakes can happen, but how a restaurant handles them is what matters. Unfortunately, there was no apology, no accountability, & no effort to make things right. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant & will not be returning.
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.
Had a wonderful meal at Thanjai Restaurant. Authentic South Indian flavors, warm hospitality, & consistently well prepared dishes made for a memorable dining experience. It's always great to find a restaurant that stays true to its roots while delivering quality & consistency. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy the rich flavors of South Indian cuisine.
The food was overly spicy, even for my family members, who love spicy food. The meat was tough & covered up with lots of sauce. First time in an Indian restaurant where food is left in the serving dishes at the end...
The restaurant lacks atmosphere & looks more like a fast food joint with a seating, in my opinion.
Would not go back.
Amazing restaurant with so many different amazing options. Usually I have just tried North Indian dishes with lots of fat but this time I tried this place & it was so much different & amazing. All the coconut flour in the rice was amazing. & the chutney was also so vibrant & beautiful. I had an amazing time. I will come back for another time with some dinner.
Disappointing visit overall. The service was slow, & the buffet didn't meet expectations. It started late, some dishes were missing, & the same rice kept being repeated.
For $22, the value just isn't there. The food quality & aroma also seem to have declined.
Hoping to see improvements in both service & consistency.
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!
