Our recent visit to Thanal was a memorable experience for a special occasion celebrating a friend's upcoming wedding. The food was a highlight of the evening, with dishes like Chicken 65, Gobi Manchurian, Mutton Biryani, Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka, and Chicken Korma (although we had ordered Chettinad) impressing our taste buds. The flavors were spot-on, and the aroma of the biryani was simply tantalizing - reminiscent of Kolkata style biryani with the boiled eggs!
The restaurant added a heartwarming touch to our celebration by surprising the groom-to-be with a complementary dessert, which was a thoughtful gesture.
However, there were a few shortcomings to our visit. The service was slower than expected, and it was evident that most of the staff were new employees. They appeared somewhat overwhelmed, and when we asked about certain menu items, they seemed unsure. The restaurant was also quite crowded, with a queue of people waiting to be seated, which may have contributed to the delays.
Despite these minor hiccups, the quality of the food and the joyous occasion made it a special evening. We would recommend the restaurant for the delicious Indian cuisine but advise patience if you plan to dine during a busy time.
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.
Tried Mango lassi in drinks, it was not sweet as I have had at other places.
All the appetizers I tried were good: idli, pudina paneer tikka and tandoori wings. All were really good.
In the main course I had chicken biryani and it was awesome, spicy and flavorful. If you are looking for less spicy options, you can try anjeer kofta (rarely seen in any other restaurant).
In naan I tried Kerala Parotta and olives and truffle naan and they are really good options.
Restrooms were clean and in usable condition, roadside parking might be available depending on the time of the day. The places was not too busy
Delicious food and very accommodating staff! Tandoori wings, Apollo fish, chana chaat, bullet naan, thanal special goat curry, anjeer kofta...so good and flavorful. The Madras mule was different with curry leaves in it. The staff was very nice and accommodating to our requests as we were a big group! It was a little loud though upstairs where we were sitting otherwise everything was great!
