Thanjai Restaurant

Indian Restaurant $$ 4.1 (2726)


Thanjai Restaurant is renowned for its authentic South Indian cuisine that evokes a nostalgic ambiance for many patrons. While the food quality garners high praise, with several dishes providing true-to-form flavors from Tamil Nadu, inconsistencies in service and occasional issues with portion sizes detract from the overall experience.

" I visited Thanjai Restaurant last weekend and I was quite impressed with the variety in their menu. We ordered the chicken biryani and several types of dosas to share among the table. Generally, the food was good, though I found the biryani a bit on the milder side, lacking a deep flavor that I typically love. The service, while pleasant, felt a bit rushed as the place was quite busy. I would still recommend it for a casual dining experience, particularly if you're in the mood for authentic South Indian dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" An okay experience at Thanjai. The decor was lovely, but I found that the food didn't quite match up to my expectations. I ordered a special dosa, but it was more soggy than I preferred. Service was friendly but a bit disorganized. I hope that on my next visit, things will improve since I've heard so many good things about this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with my last visit to Thanjai. While the atmosphere is appealing, the food did not taste as fresh as it used to. I ordered the shrimp curry and was shocked at how different it tasted. Service seemed distracted, and I waited a long time for my bill. Unfortunately, this visit left me a bit disappointed, but I might give them another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thanjai Restaurant exudes a remarkable ambiance, and the dishes are generally well-executed. I really appreciated their fresh chutneys that came with orders. The only slight complaint I had was the portion sizes of some of the appetizers; they could be a bit larger. Still, no major issue! A pleasant experience overall with good service and a welcome atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thanjai’s dosa is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the restaurant—a crispy perfection! The authentic flavors throughout the meal made my dining experience very enjoyable. However, I found the service to be somewhat disorganized, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite this, I would recommend it for anyone looking for genuine South Indian cuisine. " (*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!
