" Our visit to Thanjai Restaurant was overall nice! We loved this restaurant’s take on South Indian cuisine, especially their masala dosa which was crispy and stuffed generously. However, a couple of dishes we ordered were kind of bland for our taste. The service team was nice and attentive, making sure our drinks were always refreshed. While there are a few areas to improve, I'd be happy to return in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Thanjai Restaurant was absolutely delightful! The dosas were crispy, golden, and remarkably authentic, taking me back to my childhood. The vibrancy of the flavors was a highlight, especially the coconut chutney that complemented the dosas perfectly. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for family gatherings. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking genuine South Indian cuisine in Montreal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Thanjai was quite pleasant! The interior felt welcoming, and I thoroughly enjoyed the lamb curry and the paneer masala. The flavors were authentic and rich. However, I felt that the sambar needed a bit more seasoning as it was on the bland side. Overall, the service was friendly, but they seemed a bit busy as our orders took slightly longer than expected. Despite the minor hiccups, I would definitely recommend it for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Thanjai expecting a delightful South Indian experience and I was not disappointed! The ambiance was true to Indian culture, which added to the whole dining experience. The vegetable kothu parotta was exceptional, making it definitely a must-try! The staff was attentive, but unfortunately, our orders were mixed up a couple of times which put a damper on our mood. Nonetheless, the food definitely made up for those oversights. I left with a full belly and a smile on my face! " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors were fantastic! I was really happy with my meal. The mutton curry was particularly good, with spices that tingled the taste buds. However, the service was a little slow. The ambiance is inviting, which was a plus. A place I would love to bring my family back to as the food made it worthwhile despite the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Thanjai's atmosphere gave me a sense of comfort. The food was quite good, especially the lamb curry! However, I was let down by the dosa, which was more oily than I prefer. The service team was eager but seemed overwhelmed. Prices are reasonable given the portion sizes. I think I'll visit them again, just hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A solid choice for South Indian cuisine! The flavors were rich and the presentation superb. Their sambar was deservingly the highlight of the meal, with every dish complementing it perfectly. The service was commendable, and I found the atmosphere cozy. Unfortunately, I felt the dessert to be overpriced for the size and couldn’t recommend it. Other than this, a very satisfying visit!
