“Thrilled to have found this restaurant, for a special birthday celebration! Absolutely delicious food, and then like in India, meetha paans to end the meal 😁… The entrées were outstanding and beautifully presented - Paapdi Chaat, Dahi ke Kabab, and Basil Pesto Chicken Tikkas! Our mains were equally delicious Mutton Rarha, Paneer Methi Chaman along with Rice, Tandoori Naan, and Lachchha paratha. I see many future visits here 😋“

“nourriture excellente, service impeccable ambiance excellente définitivement a y retourner“

“Really delicious food and attentive service! We were three people, and we got samosa, palak paneer, chicken tikka, a lamb and lentil curry, raita and naan to share. Absolute heaven! We got little shooters of mango lassi on the house to start, and our server brought us a portion of mango kulfi to share at the end, which was lovely. There was salt and pepper on the table, which I appreciate as a salt freak, and our server kept our water filled, which I also look for in restaurants. The bathroom was very clean. There was music on the TV, but it was not too loud to talk, and it was gentle instrumental music. Overall a lovely time, we'll surely be back.“

“Absolutely loved this Indian restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and every dish had that authentic homemade taste. The naan was soft and delicious, the curries were rich and satisfying, and the service was warm and attentive. Great atmosphere too — cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxing meal. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone craving excellent Indian food.“

“Super bon restaurant indien avec une cuisine variée et des bon prix, je le recommande“

“This place was a recent discovery while I was walking through the MURAL Festival, and what a find it was. I wish I had photos to share, but you’ll just have to take my word for it… everything was absolutely delicious.

The samosas are a must-order. They come with a spicy date chutney and a refreshing yogurt-mint sauce, both of which complement them perfectly. We also tried the potato patties topped with chickpeas, similar to aloo gobi chaat?, but elevated with caramelized onions and sweet pickled cabbage that added incredible flavor and texture.

What makes this spot even better is how affordable it is, especially considering its prime location. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

And don’t even get me started on the mango lassi. It was absolutely decadent: rich, refreshing, perfectly sweet, and tasted completely natural with no artificial flavors. At only $4, it might just be one of the best deals in the city.

I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again.
Reminded me of the indian street food I had in Bangkok, Thailand.“

The crust was perfectly baked, the toppings were generous, and the flavors were bold and authentic. You can really taste the freshness and quality in every bite. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves trying something new and flavorful. Highly recommended!“

“We had an exceptional experience at Thanjai in Quebec.
The food was authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious.
The staff provided outstanding service and made us feel truly welcome.
They were extremely attentive to our dietary allergies and handled our requests with great care.
Every dish was customized perfectly to suit our taste preferences.
They even accommodated us outside their regular business hours on a special request, which we greatly appreciated.
Their flexibility, hospitality, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart.
We highly recommend Thanjai to anyone looking for outstanding South Indian food and warm, personalized service.“

“Mets délicieux et bon service courtois. Le niveau d’épicé toujours à votre goût. Je vous recommande l’entrée de champignons frits qui est épicé et piquant (un sweet & sour piquant). J’en suis accro. J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé leur thali à l’agneau. Il fault venir essayer ça! Juste en face du métro Papineau.“

“This is a one of those 💎 in the neighborhood, recommend 10/10. Never disappoint, been going to this place for a few years now, their food still taste as good and no price gouging.

I suggest you try to the wraps for take out!“

“Toujours excellent - cliente depuis plusieurs années !“

“We came to Montreal from the U.S. for a weekend getaway, and one thing was non-negotiable on our agenda—finding really good Indian food. After seeing this place highly recommended on social media, we decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad we did.

It's a small, unassuming spot, but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for with heart. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family. It's a family-run restaurant, and every single person made an effort to stop by our table and make sure everything was perfect. That kind of hospitality is rare and so appreciated.

We were greeted with a welcome drink, and honestly, I could have happily drunk an entire glass of the gol gappa water they served. It was that good.

The star of the meal was undoubtedly the Amritsari kulcha. One bite and I was transported straight back to the streets of Amritsar. Easily some of the best kulchas I've had outside of India. They were perfectly seasoned, not overloaded with spices, and had just the right amount of crunch. The channa that came alongside was excellent, and the imli and onion chutney was such a nostalgic touch. It's something I've only ever seen served properly in Amritsar, never here in North America.

We also ordered the chole bhature, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the chole was prepared differently from the one served with the kulchas. Most places use the exact same preparation for both dishes, but not here. The bhature were light, fluffy, and not greasy at all.

The veg momos were another standout—thin wrappers, generous filling, and cooked perfectly. Simple, fresh, and delicious.

The paneer tikka was equally impressive. Soft, tender paneer marinated the traditional way and seasoned beautifully. One thing we noticed throughout the meal was that nothing was overly spicy or loaded with unnecessary seasoning. The flavours felt balanced and authentic, allowing each dish to shine on its own.

The food here doesn't just fill your stomach—it takes you back home. We loved it so much that before heading back to the U.S., we came back the very next day for lunch.

This place satisfied both our heart and our soul. If you're in Montreal and craving authentic Amritsari food made with care, this is an absolute must-visit.“
