Thali Cuisine Indienne has carved out a loyal following over its decade-long run in Shaughnessy Village, near Concordia University and other student hubs. With roots tracing back to Parc-Ex and NDG, this no-frills eatery specializes in North Indian cuisine while offering a welcoming array of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
The standout here is their namesake thali: a customizable platter featuring three dishes (two meats and one vegetarian for $13, tax included), accompanied by naan, rice, and a crispy papadum. Crowd favourites include butter chicken, chili chicken, and palak paneer, each rich with flavour and spice. The portions are generous, and the prices keep it student-budget friendly.
With its cafeteria-style ordering, quick service, and fragrant, spice-filled air, Thali delivers an authentic and satisfying Indian meal.
