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.

" My expectations for a great Indian dining experience weren’t met at Thandi. The staff was incredibly nice, and the atmosphere was inviting, but most importantly, I felt the food lacked the authentic taste I was hoping for. My butter chicken was sweeter than I usually like. There’s potential, but adjustments to their recipes could lead to a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to visit Thandi after hearing so many positive reviews, but my experience was not quite as expected. Overall, the food was decent; however, it lacked the authentic Indian flavors I have come to love as someone who has been to many Indian eateries across the globe. The butter chicken was more sweet than savory. The service was attentive and friendly, and the restaurant's interior was beautifully designed. While I enjoyed the atmosphere, I doubt I'll be back for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I visited Thandi for a date night and were very impressed with the service and the food! The mixed platter gave us a taste of a variety of dishes. We ordered the chicken tikka masala which was smooth and creamy but the spices could have been stronger. Their dessert menu was limited but we opted for the cheesecake, which was heavenly! We enjoyed our evening overall and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a nice dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, this place truly captured my heart! The attention to detail in both service and food presentation is phenomenal. I had the vegetable biryani and my friend had the butter chicken. Each dish had a unique flavor and was rich in spices. The ambiance felt homey yet upscale at the same time, making it a great spot for both casual and special occasions. I can't wait to share this hidden gem with more friends. What an experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Thandi has become one of my go-to places for Indian cuisine. The menu is extensive, offering a variety of traditional and fusion dishes. I love their paneer butter masala and the lentil soup is delicious! It's usually busy, but the service is excellent—very attentive. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for a date night or casual dinner. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors! " (*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*)
