Thandi

Indian Restaurant $$$ 4.6 (1049)


Thandi offers a vibrant atmosphere that many appreciate, and while the quality of the food garners praise, a number of customers express that the authenticity of the Indian dishes could be improved. Some enjoy the menu's variety and presentation, yet others note a lack of true Indian flavors especially in the naan and certain curries.

" I visited with a large group for a celebration. The restaurant was busy, leading to slower service than expected. However, the food was worth the wait! I enjoyed the lamb curry; the meat was tender and beautifully spiced. It was a bit pricey, but I felt full and satisfied at the end. While the portions were generous, the naan could have improved the experience. All things considered, a good experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Thandi for dinner last week. The restaurant was busy, which made the atmosphere lively but service was indeed slower than expected. We ordered a variety of dishes, such as biryani and curry. Although the portion sizes were generous, many of us felt that the flavors were somewhat bland. I was hoping for deep flavors and spices, but it didn't quite hit that mark. It's an okay place if you're in the area and want something different, but I won't be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many Indian restaurants across Canada, Thandi is a solid pick for anyone in the area. The ambiance is lovely, the service is highly competent and enjoyable. My chicken curry was delicious, but the naan was just average. Prices are higher than other places I’ve visited but considering the quality of food, I believe it's justified. I would recommend it, though it didn't stand out in terms of authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I felt let down after my experience at Thandi. I went in with high expectations but found the food didn’t have the authentic flavor I was after. The service was quick and friendly, but the flavors of my lamb rogan josh were bland. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, and while I liked the decor, I need my curries to pack more of a punch! I might give it another chance, but I wouldn’t prioritize returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent visit to Thandi, I was pleasantly surprised by the expansive menu. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and was happy with the amount of spices. The service was quick, and our server made sure to check on us frequently. However, I found the naan disappointing as it tasted pre-packaged rather than freshly made. Still, the ambiance was comfortable and inviting, making it a lovely place to eat. I'll return to try more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thandi is a must-visit if you're in the area! I've been several times, and each visit has been fantastic. The atmosphere is always lively, with friendly staff eager to help. I love the couple’s platter; it offers a diverse menu selection, and my favorite is the saag paneer! Portion sizes are quite satisfying as well, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. If you love curry, this is the spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightfully surprised by how good the food was! The chicken dish I had was bursting with flavor, although I found the naan less than appealing. Service was friendly, but our wait time for dessert was longer than expected. The desserts were delicious, especially the homemade cheesecake! All in all, a wonderful evening. I just wish they would up their naan game! " (*Curated Review*)
