Reviews for Thali in Ottawa, ON

5 star because of the customer service and presentation of the food. It's an great environment for family dinner or with... friends. The food was okay some dishes are very bland. If you like indian food but not spicy then it's a perfect restaurant foryou. I would say it's a fancy Indian restaurant. Read more

A wonderful ambiance and a good service! We were craving for a thali food in Ottawa and came across this restaurant. Sadly, the... Food did not taste like what we expected. The portions were quite small and there were no salt and spices in food. We are okwithout spices, but we want flavor which it completely lacked. The rotis tasted like the frozen ones. No salad and pickles inthe thali. We just could not eat 3 veges from that thali as they were just sooo tasteless. Very expensive for the quality andquantity of the food we got. Overall, if you have desi tastebuds, I won’t recommend it. Read more

Lately we have been getting take out from here but we always go for the thali and I must admit, their take out thali containers... are super cute with all the tiny compartments. The food is really good and service is good. I am obsessed with their parathas.And their Eggplant curry. I wish they would stop giving the mango dessert in the to go container as I prefer their otherdesserts. Next time I plan on asking for a switch. Let's see if they do it. Overall a really nice place and I would love to goagain with my family. Read more

Thali, lots of expectations before we went there. We were excited to relish Kerala food and most famous in vegetarian is kadala... curry and malabar parota. I booked table for 12:30 pm and we were little late so we called in and said that we will be late by20 mins. When we arrived at around 12:50, we were told that we will have to leave by 2 due to a private party. We felt littlebad that they did not inform us when we were on phone that day. We would have either set an expectation or we would have plannedfor another time. Since we are there with kids we decided to go ahead as they were in hunger. We ordered pumpkin rasam and mangolassi. They tasted really yummy. Our expectations were that kadala curry and malabar parota will be ultimate but kadala currydid not meet our expectations. Ott Mushroom was like a Thai dish not like Kerala dish. Malabar parota was bigger than ourexpectation and it tasted good. We were again informed by their staff that we need to leave by 2 pm and do we want to place anyorder. It made us feel as uninvited customer. They should either not accepted us or they should not have treated in that way tojust earn money. I did not know in the hospitality world how is it seen. I don’t know if I would visit again due to experiencewe had. I would recommend if you were to book table please check with them if they have a private party, if so go another time. Read more

As someone with a lower spice tolerance, found some of the dishes (e.g. pumpkin soup, butter chicken) a little too spicy for my... liking. It would be great if the spice level was indicated on the menu. Otherwise great ambiance and delicious food. Wouldhighly recommend the crab cakes, the lamb thali, and the paratha!! Read more

It's a great establishment! The order included Traditional Thali (chicken), Chicken Sukka, Salmon Curry and drinks! Food was... great, and greater was their service! While the staff members were helpful, the manager or owner visited the table , maybe 3times, in order to ensure that the experience was great! Thank you, Thali! Read more

Thali tasted fairly good but portions were small for the price. They didn't have several of their featured beers available. Lamb... chops were delicious. Read more

This patio is absolutely stunning, you can tell a lot of thought was given to ensure the beautiful ambiance. We started out with... the 6 piece veg samosas, they were quite good. As some reviewers have pointed out they are not your traditional samosas, thepastry used resembles rice paper, keep that in mind. For the main courses we ordered Lamb Kurma and the Ooty Mushroom curry.Both dishes were incredibly delicious, just be mindful of the spice level. The standard medium level was quite mild, feel freeto ask for extra heat if you can tolerate it. Each of us also had 2 cocktails, bringing our bills to ~$65 each. I wouldabsolutely recommend trying this place out. The staff were wonderfully attentive throughout the evening and the food wasincredibly delicious. A final disclaimer, if you're looking for authentic Indian food I'm unfortunately the wrong person tocritique in that regard. We will be returning for sure! Read more
