Thanjai Restaurant est largement reconnu comme une destination de premier plan pour la cuisine authentique du sud de l'Inde à Montréal, salué pour ses plats savoureux, frais et variés. De nombreux clients soulignent la qualité des spécialités comme le masala dosa, le biryani et diverses options végétariennes, décrivant souvent l'expérience comme un moment chaleureux, accueillant et nostalgique rappelant la cuisine maison. Bien que la majorité des avis louent le service amical et l'hospitalité efficace du personnel, certaines expériences font état d'incohérences occasionnelles dans la rapidité du service, l'exactitude des commandes et la disponibilité de certains plats.

I truly appreciate the kindness & exceptional service the staff showed my family. We arrived with a group of 25 people &, with only about 10 minutes' notice, they graciously accommodated all of us. Despite the many requests coming from every direction, they remained patient, attentive, & welcoming throughout our visit.
I ordered the vegetable noodles & the butter paneer masala, & both were absolutely delicious! The butter paneer masala was so good that I couldn't leave without buying a container of the sauce to take home. I can't wait to recreate the flavors at home.
This was my first time dining here, & it certainly won't be my last. The combination of outstanding food & genuinely caring service made for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this restaurant, & I'll definitely be back soon!

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
During my trip from the US to Montreal, I stumbled upon Thanjay & had an unforgettable dinner experience. The flavors here are extraordinary-dishes like Chicken 777, Kili Paratha, Shrimp Fry, Tandoori chicken, & Hyderabadi Biryani blew me away. Every bite surpassed the last, so much so that I returned the next day for lunch. If you're in Montreal, I can't recommend this restaurant enough-it's a must-visit for any foodie.
Eating at Thanjai Restaurant was more than just a meal, it felt like being welcomed into a warm, traditional home. The banana leaf feast was thoughtfully served, & every dish carried authenticity & comfort.
The vatha/bath kulambu was unforgettable rich, tangy, & deeply flavorful, exactly the way it should be. The sambar was hearty & soothing, & the rasam was light, peppery, & refreshing, bringing perfect balance to the meal. The avial was especially touching-it tasted so homely & comforting that it genuinely reminded me of my mother's cooking. Ending the meal with the rava laddu was pure happiness soft, aromatic, & just sweet enough to leave you smiling.
What truly made the experience special was the service. It was absolutely out of this world. Rohit & Shweta went above & beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Their warmth, attentiveness, & genuine care elevated the entire experience & made us feel truly valued.
From the food to the hospitality, everything came together beautifully. The whole experience was simply awesome, & Thanjai Restaurant is a place I'll happily return for the flavors, the memories, & the heartfelt service.
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.
