I was honestly really surprised to find this restaurant. There aren't a ton of Indian restaurants in the region, and this one offers a different type of cuisine than I'm used to seeing and is all vegetarian. I think they need to recognize that most people are unfamiliar with this food and do a little more to help the customer. Not knowing what to expect, I walked into the restaurant and up to the counter and spent a not insignificant time staring at the menu. My husband and I took a menu to our seat, but we didn't want to Google every little thing, so we decided to just blindly order the Punjabi Thali ($19.99) and a dessert called the Fada Lapsi ($4.99). We also ordered a Mango Lassi ($4.99) since we're familiar with that. I think that including more descriptions on the menu would be so helpful to guide customers so they can have a better idea of what they're ordering. When our food came out, they did offer an explanation of what everything on our tray was, so this was helpful. If I go back, I'll need to spend more time tracking down a menu from the place and Googling some of the dishes to understand them better. They have been pretty unresponsive on their Facebook page and don't seem to have a website. read more

What a horrible place !!! Went there for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The place was completely vacant except for one table. The person there asked us if we had a reservation. Reservation for what ??? Look around dude ... your place is empty !!! Then he told us that the "wait" would be approx an hour. We just laughed and walked out and went somewhere else. Do not go there!!! read more

Thaal is our go-to spot for Indian food. The restaurant serves only vegetarian food and specializes in Gujarati cuisine. They offer a great variety, from street food to Thaalis, and we've tried just about every Thaali on the menu. The flavors are consistently good, and the food has a home-cooked quality that's hard to find at restaurants. That said, the Thaali portions are on the smaller side, so it may not be enough for one person. Despite that, the quality keeps us coming back. If you're looking for Indian food, this is definitely a spot worth trying. read more

I'm thrilled to write the first review and get more business for this brand new restaurant that sits on the site of what used to be an Indian grocery store. What could be more American than converting a Gujarati grocery into a Gujarati restaurant? Thaali has a beautiful decor and their speciality, as the name suggests, are thaalis or plates with several servings of different items. It's a great way to gain exposure to Gujarati vegetarian food, which is not too spicy, but has a unique flavor palate. We also enjoyed the namkeen/chaat favorites including the tiered pani puri. The Ghar Thaali, dhokla, and Punjabi Thaali were all delicious and we hope to return! read more

When I first was asked to take my son here I turned my nose up to it. I mean, vegetarian Indian food come on. I need my chicken. I need my beef, but I went in with an open mind and I tried one of their sampler platters first off the staff there including the owner is a really down-to-earth guy who really loves what he does. He thoroughly explained all the dishes and even made a recommendation I liked every single thing except for the drink and I know not to order that next time, but everything is delicious that I had. It's very exotic from what I'm used to, but it's delicious and is vegetarian. It's not the cheapest place in town. It's like $20 for the meal which Timmy seems expensive because there's no meat but it is very tasty. I've been three times so far but I'm getting kind of burned out on it so I probably won't be going there very often again I can just get much better value for my money elsewhere, but it is a good place to check out and especially if you like vegetarian Indian food You can't miss here read more

Real, fresh, authentic cooking by a knowledgeable staff. Charming, colorful setting and furnishings. Great place to explore Indian cuisine.
