When you travel abroad, you look for places which offer similar cuisines as in India and when in Montreal, you woudn't have to go far and just visit Thanjai which offers some awesome lipsmacking South Indian dishes. We ordered Chicken Manchurian for starters, Chicken Kothu, Rava Masala Dosa and Chicken Biryani. The chicken manchurian was had that Indian-chinese flair and smelt perfect. Having a dish in Montreal which we drool on back in India was really awesome. The manchurian had the right amount of sauces, spices and was cooked really well. <br/ The rava masala dosa was another standout dish, dosa being served so well in a different country was really surprising to see.

I ordered potato baji and chilli chicken as appetizers, potato stuffing inside was cold, and big chunks of roasted chicken breast and chopped raw vegetables (Capsicum, onions, and fresh green chilli) dipped in chilly sauce. Order Lamb kothu parota, and I found some unidentifiable black warm kind stuff, when I inquired about it they said it rice grains, which made me puzzled how come rice grain in parota?. The one star is for mango lassi.
This is one of the goto places for Indian-Chinese in Montreal. Though they specialize is South Indian cuisine, the Biryani, Naan, Manchurians are very good. We had two kinds of Dosa, very crispy and Sambar was amazing. We liked the Manchurian as well. The service is friendly, totally a good place to hang out with family and friends for a peaceful dinner. P.S. Good to reserve it advance as this place tends to get crowded easily.
Indian food cravings satisfied.. thanjai serves perfect Indian cuisine tasty treats for those foodies who drool on Indian food .. vada sambar dip was yummy .. also the chicken masala dosa was crunchy with chicken masala fillings which tasted just on point done so right .. the ambiance is a little flashy and the prices seems to be high too But the taste of Indian dishes when you have big cravings is worth it... overall 7.5/10

Thanjai is one of the few great indian restaurants in Montreal. It’s always busy and I doubt they take reservations. We tried their masala dosa, idli sambar and chicken 65 and everything was very delicious. Their service is a bit slow as it’s always crowded. Other than that I recommend this place if you crave for some good South Indian food!
Very interesting to taste authentic south Indian food. The Paper thin Dosa is delicious. Took the Lamb thali to try their food. Not too spicy, but very flavourful. The owner came to see if all was as expected and he explained their process for the kitchen and food. Thank you. We'll be back for sure
It was a good experience eating Indian food out there in Montreal. Thanjai is good place and provide good variety of indian dishes. We had ordered dosas and they were truly great in taste.
I usually go by myself, order the 6 foot dosa, and settle in for a serious snack fest!
Tasty and delicious, one of the best Indian restaurants in town!

Let me start by saying that I've been to this restaurant with family many times and the food and service has been good.
While I love a good French crêpe (and who doesn't?) dosas just ignite some mystical dormant savoury crêpe love in me.
