Pros: Most variety of Dosa in Ottawa, Central location with easy parking , Affordable

Fresh spices, very veg-friendly

Absolutely delicious, the spices tasted so fresh! Much of the menu is veg friendly - delicious dosas and masalas. Gluten-free options are also clearly marked. The server was very knowledgeable about veganism and had great suggestions for dishes based on our conversation. I will definitely visit again.

A wonderful place! At least a third of the menu is vegan, food is delicious.

A wonderful restaurant! At least a third of the menu is vegan, and there is a lot for people who need gluten free. South Indian food has distinct spicing, and I came away very happy. The eggplant bajhis and the dosas are delicious.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Nicely spiced , Friendly service

Best Dosas and amazing vegan menu options

The menu seems mostly vegan even though it's probably only about half or less.

Dosas are perfect and there is a ton of vegan options from curries to rice, dosas, and much much more. So far this has been my most enjoyable Indian vegan restaurant. Highly recommended

Pros: Food taste, Variety of vegan options

Cons: A little slow

excellent dosa

We went to Thanjai on a Saturday evening, and it was quite busy but we still got excellent service. We started with steamed idli - light and fluffy - and deep fried lentil donuts. Not the healthiest choice, but delicious. We then each had a dosa - I had channa masala and my partner had a potato and chilli combo. There were loads of vegan options so we'll try another (probably equally delicious) dosa or two on our next visit.
Our server was very vegan-friendly and said she would ask the chef to use separate utensils to cook our food to reduce any risk of animal-contamination.
None of the desserts were vegan, but we were too full to eat one anyway.

Pros: Excellent food, Great service, Lots of vegan options
