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.
Hmm this place used to be my childhood but now I fear it got whitified :( I used to go here & burn my taste buds & still keep eating because the flavours were so addictive but they just don't have that vibe anymore. Their dosa wasn't crispy either & the chicken we ordered had 1 chicken & 1 piece with just bones but the'gravy' was still out of this world. I just wish that it did come with more meat pieces?
still good for first time South Asian food tryers tho!
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.
We visited this gem of a place while visiting Montreal. The food was very delicious & tasty. My kids ordered the Mickey mouse dosa & we ordered the paper masala dosa with idlinvada combo. Also the owner was super helpful!! Do visit if you are in town!
Overall experience was wonderful. Really worth traveling for 400kms to just have their Ashoka sweet & Samosa. Their curry dosa is mouth watering. Thanks you, Thanjai for your hospitality.

Hit or miss place. Used to love it as the masalas dosa & idlis were so fresh, but after two less than lovely experiences separated by one good one in 2 years, that's it, not returning. If consistency is so varied, I don't want to risk taking anyone there. The only thing worth having the last visit was the South Indian coffee. The food was basically chilies & we'd asked for mild - not all desis want their taste buds burnt off & we had kids with us. Service is also hit or miss, depending on who is on shift & the time of day.
We ordered masala dosa, paneer masala dosa & Schezwan paneer masala dosa. The masala filling was on the saltier side, paneer in the dosa was lacking any flavour as it was shredded raw. The sambar was also a bit on the bland side. Overall the experience was okay. Not that great.
The first time trying south indian food in Montreal, & it won't be my last time.what an amazing dosa they have. I had the masala Chess dosa, I loved it.
A must visit for any occasion. The food quality has remained the same even after all this time. The dosas & idlis are amazing. My little kids get excited whenever we have to go for a meal.
