The food was absolutely delicious-it truly brings a piece of Tamil Nadu to you. The ambience was warm, inviting, & beautifully done, making the overall dining experience even more enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit!
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.
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.
Very disappointing experience at Thanjai Restaurant in Montreal.
Our family had a reservation for 10 people at 7:30 p.m., & we arrived on time. We ordered our food right away, but after more than an hour, only two people at our table had received their meals. The remaining eight people were still waiting with no clear explanation.
We had four children with us, & they became hungry, upset, & started crying because of the long delay. We spoke to the manager & explained the situation, but he seemed completely unconcerned & did nothing to improve the service.
Even the samosas we ordered as an appetizer took over an hour to arrive. Meanwhile, customers who came after us were served before our table, which made the experience even more frustrating & unfair.
There was poor communication from the staff, no proper apology, & no effort from management to handle the situation professionally. Eventually, we decided to pay only for the food we had received & leave.
This restaurant is not prepared to handle large groups or families. The service was extremely slow, disorganized, & disrespectful. We left feeling frustrated, disappointed, & embarrassed after planning a family dinner there. I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience.
Very disappointing experience. The service was extremely disorganized. Our waitress kept bringing the wrong meals to the wrong people, forgot the kids' food, & served the adults first while the children were left waiting. We had a large group, but tables that arrived after us were served before we were. The staff seemed confused the entire time, & the long wait made the experience frustrating. I would not recommend this restaurant based on the poor service.
Yesterday, it was my first time in Thanjai Quebec, as i am from Brossard I am used to the restaurant of Montreal ans Brossard (closed now)I bought a paneer 65 for take-out, when I opened the the take-out box the portion handed to me was not even half the size of that shown in the picture. It was really disappointing to pay for such a small portion of paneer at $15,99. Besides the menu is very limited compared to that of my area.
