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!

We made a reservation for 2 a few days in advance with no trouble finding a good time slot. It was restaurant week and they offered a 3 course meal with an appetizer, main course, and dessert for $20.
For the appetizers, we got the Samosa and Kodi Vepudu. The Kodi Vepudu was phenomenal (and a little spicy) and you get a whole plate of it! The Samosa was delicious, but you only get one piece.
For the main course we got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Fish Curry, Garlic Naan, and Roti. I was a little confused because from the menu it looks like you're also supposed to get Basmati Rice. The Tikka Masala was super creamy and tasted amazing. They were also very generous with the amount of chicken and fish. I also really enjoyed the Garlic Naan. It was delicious on its own and tasted great with the leftover sauce from our entrees.
For dessert we got the Gulab Jamun and the Rice Kheer. The Gulab Jamun was super sweet as expected. The Rice Kheer was good but a little plain tasting. It had a great texture because the rice was perfectly undercooked, but I wish they added a little more flavor.
For $20 this was an amazing experience. I cannot emphasize how good the value is. I highly recommend the Kodi Vepudu, Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Garlic Naan.
Delicious food, very attentive service, and a lively atmosphere ( loud, but that's okay). My girlfriend and I really enjoyed sharing food, and they give you (Malabar Fish Curry and Egg Plant Koora pictured, Naan not pictured) large family-style portions to facilitate that. Can't wait to return and try more of their menu offerings
The food here is really great, we were a party of 8 and everyone like all the dishes that we order. Everyone walk out full and the bill was under 200$ for 8! We got the shrimp tikka masala, butter chicken and goat curry, chicken 65 and tandoori wings as appetizer. Both chicken dish was so good. I recommend garlic naan and cheese one, its really good to eat with the curry. Atmostpherr and everything was nice, service was a little bit slow but it was a pretty busy day so I understand. Overall I really recommend this place, my friends already want to come back again after trying their butter chicken, and tikka masala.
The cuisine had a rich flavor. Excellent location with a wide variety of choices; the only drawback is that the dinner took a while to arrive. The meal, in my opinion, cost more than it should have.
It's was great experience having dinner here. Delicious food and specially cocktails are amazing. Attentive service and friendly staff.
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.
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.
