Best Indian restaurant in Canada

S	Srishti Batra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the most authentic South Indian restraunt in Ottawa. Pretty impressed with this place. There are number of options for south Indian dishes. The food is delicious and super fair prices. Chilly cheese onion masala dosa must try ✅
M	Michael Nordlund on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Felt more like food you would buy at a grocery store unfortunately. The mutter paneer just tasted like heavy cream without any flavour. The naan bread felt store bought and was very tough. We were looking forward to trying this place, but it was overpriced, disappointing and we both ended up getting sick.
S	Shruti Gupta on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ordered the ghee masala dosa with a side of chicken 65 and their onion pakoda. This is literally the best dosa I've had outside of Chennai! And the chicken 65 was epic! No other words, mouth watering authentic south Indian food - definitely coming back!
S	Shidan Cummings on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing! Chicken 65 is fragrant and perfectly fried, absolutely delicious. Butter chicken above average. Onion Bhaji fried/crunchy and very flavourful, as it should be <3 ! Even the Naan had a rustic smokey flavour that was great. Tried many places over the years and I think this is the best Indian food in Ottawa :)
C	Coding Box on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The quality of food has changed. Had worst experience. Customer Service sucked as well as the food was awful! Literally mashed potatoes are better than the stuffing in the Dosa’s. ‘Popular Dosa dish not so popular’. This was my last visit to this restaurant after awful experience. Sambhar was very tasteless.
K	Karishma Rajaratnam on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We loved our experience at Thanjai! We’ve been searching for a great South Indian restaurant in Ottawa and were so happy to be recommended to this place. The dosas were incredible and they reminded us of being back home in Chennai. The chicken 65 could compete with the best chicken 65’s from any of the South Indian states. The place is unassuming yet charming - much like the casual haunts you’ll find in India. The price points are very good so it’s affordable to enjoy a great meal. Both the restaurant manager and Chef (Rajath and Viral) were very kind and chatted with us for awhile to get our feedback and suggestions. Definitely recommend this place if you want an authentic South Indian meal :)
M	Myriam Bernard on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Shared the FOUR FOOT DOSA with my friend. We came sooo close to finishing it. So yummy and a great experience. Came with 4 sides: coconut chutney, potato curry, sambar and some sort of tomato chutney? I may be way off! To finish off, I had a South Indian coffee. Tasted different, reminded me of Turkish coffee. Very yummy though!
N	Namrata Singh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a quick dinner at Thanjai on a Friday evening. The place has limited seating and the wonderful aromas of sambar hit you the minute you walk through the door. We had Medu Vada Sambar which was nice but the vadas weren't crispy. Probably because they were dunked in sambar but the taste was good. The Mysore Masala Dosa and Podi Masala Dosa were amazing. Sambar and Coconut chutney were on point. The red tomato and onion chutney tasted off. Look forward to trying their meat and seafood items. All in all a good dining experience. Our server was very pleasant too! Would recommend for satisfying south Indian fare.
