Our first time, and it was phenomenal. We are huge into Indian food and this place was top shelf. Very affordable and delicious. Super authentic. We had two “non-veg thali” dishes and it came with 2 meats, a veg, rice and naan for $14 tax in each. Just Amazing!! Highly recommended…

Nice little place to get some good Indian food at a fair price

Review №3

Half the order was missing. Of the food that we did receive, the curry had barely any meat and was a watered down curry sauce. To make matters worse, they neglected to provide the naan and rice that comes with the meal and so I was left eating curry as though its a soup. Called the restaurant and they just stated they had new staff. Save your money and order elsewhere.

First of all staff is not very good and other thing was half of our naan was uncooked. Better to go somewhere else.

Imagine paying 13 bucks for half oil and half chicken and a scoop and half of rice. Very disappointed with portion sizes. Taste was Okayish but charging 13 dollar for that makes it worse. Youre better off going somewhere else.*Pixel 5 for scale*

It was really great place. But when i ordered it from uber, i did not got so good quality of food. It was hard to eat and also to keep for a night. I had an average experience with them. Hope to see some good stuff next time.Thank you!

Response to Owner reply: Your reply to feedback/ criticism with customer disrespect, speaks volume of business maturity and way it is run. Rest for new customers to decide based on this review and reply.——————————————-Initial feedback given: Would give it 0 stars if I could. Food is not tasty.. small and neither clean. Costs as much as a normal clean restaurant. There are better options around

The food is great. One of the best in montreal. But the guy at the counter has zero knowledge on how to treat a customer. Made us wait at the counter ignored us completely even though he wasn’t doing anything. Good food but worst customer service

I didn’t try the food there but I was going to tonight.I pass in front of it everyday and doesn’t attract me much but wanted to give it a try. Like almost everyone I have checked the reviews and oh my god the owner answers to paying customers are just unbeliveable. This person can’t take a negative feedback, you must see this yourself.Trust me I won’t ever put one foot in your restaurant and the word will spread fast.Again I can’t judge the food but the disgusting attitude of the owner is enough to blacklist this place.I was so shocked that I had to take a few minutes to leave a review.

Very disappointed - Lamb Biryani was 99% rice see picture - you would think that the meat would be inside...it wasnt - would never order from this place again. Negative reviews were correct. Waste of money

In few words: big portions, affordable , and tasty. I love East Indian food and this little restaurant, who can hold around 20 people, have everything I love from hot spicy samosa to mild vegetables mix. They were patient with us and we had a great service. The only down side is it is very small but the food is worth it!

Review №16

Food taste is not always consistant, especially the butter chiken ,but otherwise, everything else is amazing. Service is good and portions are big for the prices. My go-to indian spot in the downtown area. Would highly recommend to try this place out!

Review №18

Truly blown away by such an amazing restaurant!! Amazing food! We had been travelling with kids ..after being on road for 5 days and eating fast food we really wanted some comfort yet healthy food. Had butter chicken, goat curry, chana bhatura for dinner..we loved everything so much that we ordered more the next day - nonveg thali, chicken biryani! Everything was perfect and tasted amazing..very much like mom’s home made food!!

Review №21

Some of the best Indian food I’ve had.Chaat, biriani, butter chicken, vegetable curry, samosas and ofc the garlic naan are great!To the person replying to all the google reviews, you’re an icon. After reading the reviews and the replies I wanted to see if the food held up and it totally does. Good work!!

Worst Indian food corner in MTL. Tried 3 times from here, every time it was worst. Never go there. Food is not fresh and greasy as hell. Have thrown whole food in garage once again.. Never going there again!!

Chole bhature is good but samosa are very bad. Poor cleaning.

A little close to home made Indian curries at decent prices

Ro
Review №25

Good rates.. Decent taste... Fast service..I generally go there to get garlic naan and plain naan. I don’t prefer curry from there as they give their portion from the regular thali menu and doesn’t customize it to your taste and requirements.The samosas are good and only at $1.25 per piece which is quite economical. The service is fast.It’s a good restaurant for a decent taste without too much burden on your pockets. But if you want authentic indian taste there are many other places in the downtown area.

Review №28

Ive been coming here throughout my college and university career, always a pleasure and food tastes amazing ! Portions are a great bonus and location is both ideal for students and working professionals. I was wondering have you guys changed the Palak Paneer Recipe? It tastes a little more earthy than usual but no biggie. Keep up the good work and wishing you much success :)

Review №29

Best Indian food in Montreal! I know the place since over 10 years, its legendary! Amazing tasty food, generous portions, low prices, spicy just perfect, all their dishes are delicious, my favorites are the butter chicken, their naan and rice, gulab jamun, and tandoori chicken! The family is so nice, polite, and makes it a great experience! I like how it not service at the table, more like a buffet that they serve you, nothing fancy and friendly ambience! A must if you visit downtown Montreal! Dont miss it!

I have tried the restaurant 3-4 times but each time it was a disappointment.Even last night I bought some rotis and they were too thick, like a human being cannot eat such thick rotis.

Review №33

This is one of the worst samosa i have ever ate in my life . When i took bike it felt like rubber so you can imagine how old it wasTotally disgusting . I think they just refried it.I order from doordash , I didn’t have order number otherwise i will definitely make a proper complaint. it’s not about money but about the hygine and health of customers.

I ordered veggie biryani. It was full of mess no taste . Alott of turmeric and red chilli power . No veggies inside . I was not satisfied. I wasted my money 16$ for this. Not even worth.

I’ve loved this restaurant for years. Tasty and cheap. But beware about ordering online. They cancelled a DoorDashorder that was supposed to arrive in 20 mins (I live just down the road) after 50 mins. Left without dinner.

The reason for my less rating is that the staff was super impolite and rude. Honestly way better options are available. Would never go back again.

Still the same Thali. Have been regular there and the taste has not changed much. Food is good, price of thali has increased a bit. Sometimes fail to include papad in the thali while delivering.

Great food.. great price..Above all .. this restaurant has extremely fast service. I ordered a vegetarian thali and masala dosa and both tasted good. I also ordered tea and samosa and both seems fine. Value for money restaurant.

Review №46

I have been here twice before, pre-pandemic. Food was passable but the temperature inside matched that of outside which isnt pleasant when its 30 below or 30 above. Meat portions arent very generous and prices have gone up it seems.1 star for the snarkiness of the owner on peoples legitimate complaints so I can remember never to go here again.

Review №53

I have been to multiple Indian restaurants around Montreal as I am a huge fan of this cuisine. This is by far the worst place to go to, very unfortunate. The food is not of Indian flavours and rather very salty. The chicken is dry and the lamb is full of bones. The vegetarian platters are also very disappointing. Stay away there are so many other options in this wonderful city.

Review №54

I’ve been going to thali since 2013 and it is one of my favourite places in Montreal. The BEST Palak Paneer I’ve ever had was from here. I never fail to eat every little thing on my plate

Ha
Review №55

I wish there was a option to give this restaurant 0 star rating. They didn’t send the full order as there were items were missing and they didn’t follow the instructions on the rest of the order. When I called them regarding the mistakes that were made, instead of being apologetic they were rude and did nothing to correct the mistake. They hung up the call, that’s how they treat the customers and I hope places like these lose business because they don’t deserve anything good.

Review №56

Great little restaurant, serving good food for cheap. They cut the costs on frills that make other restaurants needlessly expensive. Very straightforward, good quality food, fast and friendly service. The meal I chose was 11$ and I got, naan bread, rice, two choices of meat curries (among 4-5 choices) and one choice of vegetable curry (among 7-8 choices). Everything was delicious.

This is my one of the worst experiences with india restaurants....there was no hospitality..they dont even care for their customers....i was waiting there for more than 5 min just to order eventhough there was no one...Dont ever recommend this restaurant....

Yummy food! We ordered Chicken Tandoori, Butter Chicken, Chicken Curry, Dahl, Potatoes & Cauliflower, roti and some chutneys! Portions are big, prices are great, and service is efficient! Parking could be a challenge - but the food makes up for it! Will be back!

Review №59

I was here on a trip, was looking for a place to get decent food. I read reviews so I thought 4 is not bad rating, I did read the owner had not taken criticism well so the sense of his customer service was a red flag indication of owners lack attention to customer satisfaction. Everyone was well behaved dont get me wrong. But we are there for food and when you cant taste butter in butter chicken you can understand the level of dissatisfaction. I had 3 curries but all tasted the same which was a little spice. If you close eyes and taste all gravy you wont figure out butter chicken. My humble request to owner you have a nice thing going for you just pay attention to food taste what you are serving. You can do wonders. As a desi you crave the same taste as back home so if you are on a trip here read latest reviews see if a desi posted positive review maybe it was just today but I had a disappointing experience. To owner, I wish you success and well but you need to improve food and believe me nothing personal 🙏 peace

Review №65

You need to learn how to take criticism and talk to people who didnt liked your service. I mean it doesnt hurt to ask the dissatisfied costumers how you can make your service better or just apologizing that your product wasnt for them. what a entitled aholeI have a big family and friend circle i served them your food and they didnt like it and they all saw your comment replies and they all hate you now. You dont deserve to have a license to run your business.

You may have to wait for a seat and it may be crammed and the seats not fancy. But the food I tell you, will satisfy your belly and mind. Yet, I dont think we have such good prices even in India!Here is what we had after being super hungry wandering around the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal whole day.Mutton Samosa. -1 pc.Alu Tikki Chaat -2pc.Chole Bhatura (2 bhatura , Chole).Non Veg Thali ( Choice of two meats and one veg curry, rice and one big Naan)Masala Chai -2Total: 36.7 CAD!!!!!Service is also decent. With the place always being full they are a bit stretched, but manage to be pleasing and cooperative. You can always help yourselves to get the dishes once served and put them away after you are done too!

A really authentic, bare bones restaurant with extremely tasty Indian food. Honestly: its exactly the same as what I ate when I lived in India. Vegetarian plate for $9.50 is a great deal. Its cafeteria style and you put away your own dishes/trays. No table service.

Review №76

Really great food at a low price, we were able to to each get the Non-Veg meal for $11 (tax in) per meal, with an assortment of two meats, vegetables, naan bread, etc. My boyfriend comes here often during his lunch hour and often says its hard to find a seat. it was my first time eating here last night and found it to b enjoyable. Id return, my favorite was the chili chicken and Chana masala!

Review №91

Went to buy a dish (bhel 23Jan evening) which i have ordered multiple times before, but one girl made the dish in the thermocol box itself instead of a utensil, when asked she says thats how we make it, where as I remember the owner old lady makes bhel in a utensil and then put it in a thermocol box for take out. She also added yogurt in the bhel which is really not normal, the crispiness of puffed rice is no more when u add yogurt, its necessay to have a trained staff and if they are not interested you can find may people around to work. you can also keep written instruction with the ingredients to add for a specific dish. I hope this helps to improve the service, customer knows what they want to buy.

Thali is one of my favorite restaurants because of the speed of the service and the quality of the food. Its a food counter, so you simply pay up front and the staff will serve you food to go or for takeout. The prices are reasonable and everything is delicious. I enjoy the Indian music playing in the background and the guy who takes your order is always friendly. The place is often full but people come and go quite quickly so youll most likely get a seat after placing your order. Its simple, fast and delicious.

Being an Indian, I always try to find good Indian restaurants, this restaurant is near to my place, I have tried almost everything I’m their menu, I don’t like their butter chicken and biryaniBut I totally love their samosas and mango lassi,Also their cholle bhatures are good but the best.But according to price point it’s good. It’s cheap and have a good portion size so.

My last visit to thali was in 2015. It is my favourite indian restaurant in the city. Came back today and was kind of surprised by the quality of the beef curry. It was tasteless and lacked spice.This place is one of the good indian cuisines in downtown, and that is why i had high expectations. I hope my experience was an exceptionOverall the place is a must-go in montreal and the price is good.

They recently raised the price, while lowering the portion sizes. And the recipes seemed to be changed, the paneer was watery, the beef was full of inedible seed pods, the eggplant was bland. Never going back.
