Thali Restaurant in Ottawa is a culinary gem that offers a delightful blend of authentic flavors and impeccable service. The restaurant seems pleasing to the traditionalist as well as the adventurous fusion seeker. The food is phenomenal, with the lamb chops being described as the best ever, packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. The lunch shrimp thali special is vibrant, colorful, and satisfying, with perfectly cooked shrimp in a creamy sauce. The butter chicken and moilee shrimp are also must-tries. The cocktails and drink menu pair perfectly, making it a full experience rather than just a meal. The service is excellent, fast, and friendly, with staff going the extra mile. The atmosphere is calm, and the restaurant can get quite crowded during peak hours, so booking in advance is recommended. Some dishes may be a bit salty, such as the black lentil dal and raita, but the jeera rice is highly praised, often rated 11/10. The ambience could use a bit of a makeover as it looks a bit tired, but overall, the experience remains fantastic. The restaurant is on the ground floor with wheelchair access and an accessible washroom, though tables are quite close together. It is highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic taste of India in the heart of Ottawa, offering a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options, and being family-friendly.
