This was my first time going to an Indian restaurant and I have to say the dishes were excellent and full of flavor and well proportions. I’ll be definitely returning to this place I was so full I needed help getting up from the table bad enough I needed leverage on the table ……. Excellent place to eat !

Delicious food, very attentive service, and a lively atmosphere ( loud, but that’s okay). My girlfriend and I really enjoyed sharing food, and they give you (Malabar Fish Curry and Egg Plant Koora pictured, Naan not pictured) large family-style portions to facilitate that. Can’t wait to return and try more of their menu offerings

Good food, decent ambiance, and good service. I can recommend this place to you if you are looking for places to try Indian cuisines. The staff was friendly and helpful with food suggestions.

Prices went up recently and the quality way down. Ordered out and got completely wrong order. Butter chicken (we got butter tofu) was extremely greasy. Kofta had only 3 balls and used to have 5, the “curry” was thin watery soup and had zero flavor. Got the wrong meat for the tikka masala as well. Really disappointing from a place I used to love and order from all the time. Prices are disgustingly high at this point and it used to be so good that I was even willing to still pay for it and now the food quality is horrible.

Great tasting food and amazing service. We ordered pudhina paneer tikka, gobi Manchurian and basil rasam soup for appetizers. All on point! Curries we tried were butter chicken and palak paneer, again both amazingly made and on point. Garlic naan’s a staple which paired great with the curries. Would definitely recommend this place and will be back to try more items.

Thanal food was absolutely delicious. I had the pudina paneer tikka and the podi idli and while I couldn’t finish them by myself I really wanted to. The flavor was almost like being back in Delhi. The lacha paratha and mango lassi were also very tasty.

The food was excellent, particularly the lamb vindaloo which was ordered medium hot. The service was oddly off. The employees were friendly, but distracted by the World Cup game on the television. Mango lassi was delicious. I dined here on a weeknight during Thanksgiving week, November 2022. Thanal Indian Tavern first caught my eye in 2019 with its attractive exterior and I was happy to finally eat here.

This was one of my favorites Indian restaurants from the day it opened. Unfortunately, things are not the same some of the recipes are changed along with the customer service. I do still love their biryani fortunately it still tastes great and same as before.

Had a great time at Thanal! It was nice to see a full service bar available, even though I received a beer a far cry away from the expected IPA I ordered. The cheese Naan was delicious and the chicken vindaloo excellent. The interior could be spruced up a bit (walls had stains, etc) but it was a solid experience overall and would return.
