" The atmosphere at Thanal Indian Tavern was electric during our visit! Each dish we tried brought a smile to our faces, particularly the Gobi Manchurian - truly authentic. Our server was knowledgeable and ensured our dining experience was memorable. The mix of spices in the biryani reminded me of traditional recipes. I’d highly recommend it for any Indian food lover. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited Thanal several times, and each visit has been satisfying. The food is authentically Indian, and the atmosphere is cozy and lively. I love the lamb curry; it is spiced just right! The only downside I experienced was the wait time during peak hours, but it’s a small price to pay for great food. If you are in the mood for really good Indian food, I wholeheartedly recommend Thanal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, my partner and I tried Thanal and had an amazing experience from start to finish. Our server was very attentive and helped us choose a great selection of dishes. We ordered Chicken 65, which was crispy and delicious, along with a hearty curry that was rich and flavorful. The restaurant's vibe was festive, making it enjoyable. We're definitely looking forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here with a group, and we had a blast! The food was fantastic, especially the Chicken Tikka and Gobi Manchurian. Each dish tasted fresh and authentic. Atmosphere was a bit loud but that added to the dining experience. Our server was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Definitely a place I’d recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" What's not to love about Thanal Indian Tavern? The food is beautiful and tastes authentic! I had the paneer tikka and garlic naan that complemented each other perfectly. The environment was busy yet cozy. I appreciate the effort they put into making the dining experience enjoyable! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Thanal based on the reviews, but I left feeling a bit let down. The food was average at best. I tried the butter chicken, and instead of being creamy, it tasted overly sweet. Service could have been better as well—slow and forgetful. It may have been an off-night for the restaurant, but unfortunately, I probably won't be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was super excited to try Thanal, but my experience was a bit mixed. The food was good, but it lacked the wow factor that I had anticipated. The chicken tikka masala was okay, but the naan was really good! Service was fast, but the atmosphere felt rushed. I might be back to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
