My son introduced me to this place many years ago. I have loved the delicious Chicken Makhani with naan bread ever since. It's my go to dish. Such a warm friendly atmosphere. I try to stop in whenever I am in town for a visit. Highly recommended! read more

Here's a polished review version: We tried this restaurant during our visit to the Corning Museum and stopped in for a late lunch. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, and we were seated right away. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. The person serving us, who appeared to be either the owner or the sole waiter, came across as rude and unwelcoming. When we asked simple questions about how many pieces the naan would be cut into and for menu recommendations, the responses felt dismissive. The food itself was decent, but there was confusion regarding the rice portions. We were expecting two portions of rice with our meal, yet what was served wasn't even equivalent to a full portion. Instead, we were encouraged to order bread and pay extra for additional rice. Overall, the experience didn't feel right, especially considering the prices charged. Between the disappointing service and the portion issues, it wasn't a place we would be eager to revisit. read more

We stopped by here for a snack on the way back from Niagara Falls - precisely few cups of tea and pakoras. The food was quite bad. The pakoras were so greasy, that they seemed like they were refried several times. The chutney they serve with were quite horrible. The tea was also not good, could barely get the flavor of a freshly made fresh tea Wouldn't recommend it read more

Absolutely delicious meal. Appreciated the fact that I was accommodated for not wanting anything spicy. Will definitely return soon! read more

Ordered for late lunch today. The garlic naan was old, dry and stale. The veggie Biryani was without much flavor at all. Real shame, since we always wanted to like this place but it's really gone down the drain. read more

Thali of India - Balti Palak, onion kulcha, lamb biryani - Indian Near Me - Corning, New York

I was craving Garlic Naan and this place was recommended so I had to check it out. It definitely did not disappoint. It's located in the downtown area of Corning and we were able to park on the street near the restaurant. We were welcomed and everyone was so nice. The service was great! I'm always a little indecisive and can't just pick one dish so my boyfriend and I shared an appetizer and specialty plate. The portions are a little small but was more than enough food for the 2 of us to share. I'll have to try their Chicken Tikka Masala next time because I've heard great things about it. The food came out hot and fresh, well worth the wait (Which wasn't very long even though they were pretty busy). read more

Almost every time I went to Corning Museum of Glass I will ended up eating here. One of my favorite Indian restaurants. I only been here on weekends for lunch. Apparently they have lunch buffet Monday-Friday. Interestingly there was also barely people there when I came in. Maybe they do more take out or they come for dinner. Today is no exception. Quiet ambiance only us and 2 other patrons. Today we ordered Crab Mumbai, garlic naan, black peppercorn meat (lamb) and mango lassi. Crab Mumbai and lamb dish awesome. The right spices. The only thing the crab Mumbai appears to contain other than crab. I was suspicious that it was looks like shrimp bit and taste is very similar however i didn't get the reaction (sadly i developed shrimp allergy), so maybe it was crawfish. In the menu though didn't indicate to have either. So whatever if it was shrimp and I'm having reaction I'd be very angry. I got this crab Mumbai few times before and I didn't remember it like this so... The lamb dish is very tasty and very flavorful with some spiciness. We did asked for spicy. Garlic naan sadly a disappointment. It was kind of tasteless. Which is surprising. Mango lassi decent but I had better. Overall, I still recommend this place and would come back again. read more

Forgot to take photos of all our food because we were eager to dig in! Their portions were perfect to share with others at the table but for their prices we definitely wished for larger portions to have leftovers. The restaurant was quiet during lunchtime and we received great service being the only table at the time. Even when things got busier, they would check in to make sure we had everything we needed. Recommend the fish curry and pakora w chutney. And of course chai to finish :) read more

Thali of India - Chicken Korma, Saag, Chicken Tika Masala and their veggie samosa were all excellent! Let's go! - Indian Near Me - Corning, New York

Dishonest business. I will not be returning. As a flight crew member, I stay in Corning for work from time to time. I try to find go to places for return visits on all my layovers. I thought this was one of those places. Sadly, I was wrong. My first time ordering from Thali of India, I ordered Chana Palak with roti. It was bright green, well seasoned and delicious. I was looking forward to getting it again on my next layover. A month or so later, when I returned to Corning, I ordered the same thing. It was brown, bland and just sad. I thought maybe they had run out of their normal spinach and didn't season it well. Was willing to give the dish another try. My third time coming to Corning, just today, I ordered my usual takeout. The price seemed a bit high, so I asked the girl for an itemized receipt. She didn't give it to me right away, so I asked again. She handed me the "itemized" receipt, hand scribbled on a piece of paper. I looked at her skeptically. She explained that tax was added. As I left the building, I took a photo of the menu currently on display in the front window for all to see. She had charged me an extra dollar for the roti, and an extra dollar for the chana palak. I really try my best to support small family businesses, and would have gladly paid the extra money if the prices had simply gone up and that was reflected on the menu, but that's not the case. She charged me extra in a dishonest fashion, and dishonesty is something I abhor and will not tolerate a second time from a place I'm handing my hard earned money to. Also, just as a FYI. The Chana Palak on this third visit was once again brown, bland and sad. Highly disappointing. Thali of India may have gotten an extra $2 out of me on this visit, however, they have lost all future business from me. Dishonest business practices pay off in the short term, not the long term. Namaste. read more

The food is delicious. So flavorful. Especially if you are eating vegetarian, this is the most flavorful vegetarian food in town. I just wish they would clean the dining room a little more. But I love the food and I still go. read more

After a long and tiring drive, we chose "Thali of India", the only Indian restaurant in Corning, NY hoping for a satisfying meal. Unfortunately, the experience was profoundly disappointing, and I feel the restaurant's name, "Thali of India," is misleading. Based on our visit, I seriously question their connection to India, authentic Indian cuisine and standards. Inauthentic Food & Stale Ingredients: We ordered Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, Butter Roti, and, for a starter, Chicken Reshmi Kabab. Order Mix-Up and Quality: The starter we received was Chicken Seekh Kabab. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, I was met with an appalling response. Arrogant Service: The lady in the black dress arrogantly insisted that Chicken Seekh Kabab and Chicken Malai Kabab/Reshmi Kabab are the same dish. I offered to show her photographic proof on Google that they are distinct, but she dismissed me, stating, "In their restaurant, it's the same, and they are running this restaurant for 25 years" (a joke). Her unwillingness to acknowledge a clear error and lack of basic culinary knowledge was shocking. Stale Food: Beyond the wrong dish, the chicken itself tasted stale. The butter roti was also of poor quality. The food was so unsatisfactory that we were forced to leave a significant portion of our meal unfinished. Deceptive Practices & Low Standards The restaurant's low standards extend beyond the kitchen Hygiene Items: Just as the name "Thali of India" feels deceptive, so did the toiletries. The soap and hand sanitizer were kept in branded bottles, but the contents were clearly the absolute cheapest, low-grade substitutes. This deceptive practice across their operations is unacceptable. Conclusion: Avoid this restaurant BEWARE: Save your money and protect your health by choosing another dining option. This restaurant is simply not worth the visit. The combination of subpar, potentially stale food, misleading name, and arrogant service makes this an experience to be avoided. read more

Amazing high quality good food and service thali plate and onion Baji and chai delicious.

Uh, the food was so good the only pic of the leftovers I have is of the garlic naan LOL Simply put the food here is SOLID and the service is quick. They'll also adjust spice levels (I wanted spiciest) to your preference. I would come here again for the chai alone. read more

I have eaten here twice and tried several different things. Most of them have been good. I didn't like the tea, but that's a personal taste. The last time I went in an afternoon and the place was empty. And of course you have to get the naan. read more

We decided to try this Indian restaurant as we were staying overnight nearby. The place was empty and we were seated promptly. The food was strictly okay. They served peanuts in paneer vegetable which was weird. Not to mention, someone could have had an allergic reaction! The staff were very rude and not courteous. They gave the bill in the middle of the meal, without asking! read more

The staff and food here are simply fantastic. Highly recommend the Chicken Malabar and the Garlic Naan.

I have no idea why this place has three stars, there aren't a whole bunch of other Indian places around and their food blows away Indian restaurants in Miami. The ambiance is a bit dim and the service is at a relaxed pace but the food is always fantastic. I love the samosa chat from here plus lots of other dishes. Their vegetarian dishes don't have anything exotic since fresh vegetables seem a bit harder to come by up here but the prices are reasonable and everything is always hot/fresh. I'd trade a few places in my neighborhood to have Indian this good down in Miami. read more

Thali of India is one the area's BEST restaurants when it comes to authentic, tasty and fresh cooked food in a casual atmosphere. And it's the only one of its kind I can think of locally. Plus? It's located on Market Street! I ate lunch there on my 1st visit to Corning years ago and return frequently now that I live 2 miles away. I tried a sampler platter recently: It was perfectly portioned for one and superbly cooked. Note: I don't think they offer a Lunch or Dinner Buffet anymore. Last time I asked, the answer was "no." (Call ahead and ask?) I wish the website was updated to reflected that. Still, it's adorably quaint and cozy -- with excellent food and friendly service at a phenomenal price. read more

Thali of India is a small restaurant in the middle of Market Street in Corning (not far from the Glass Museum bus stop). Walking through the door, an interesting retro-throwback vibe greets you. As does the wonderful smell from the kitchen. The menu offers a wide selection for a complete meal, with no shortage of proteins to choose from - crab, chicken, beef, lamb, paneer, etc. the dishes are imbued with wonderfully warm flavors and more than a pinch of fresh cilantro. You'll leave with a happy stomach! If you're a fan of spicy sauces, ask for the green chili sauce. Fresh, crisp, and spicy... you'll be glad to add it to any dish! read more

Amazing authentic food! Kind and courteous service. We will definitely be back t try their dishes off of their extensive menu.

Buffett - food was warm not many options to choose from - being a buffet-you'd expect more choices. the restaurant is dated, old and run down, dark, dingy - not appealing. pricing is too high for what you get. Food flavor is OK - if you've had good Indian cuisine you'll know this is not the place to get good Indian cuisine! read more

Service and ambiance were fine but the food had no flavor. Took it home and re-seasoned it.

I would give negative if there's a option. I generally don't give reviews but the unpleasant experience this place gave me during our weekend trip made me give this honest review, so they at least make an effort to change. We were six people, not too hungry for a dinner. So ordered platter and breads to share. Owner was very unhappy and insisted to order more. We being new to the place wanted to try first, so was ok with few. In few minutes he came back with the lady and said rudely that combo is not available and said thank you, in a note asking us to leave. When we were leaving, they just seated the next customers. We never had such a worst experience through the world. Such a bad customer service and rude people read more

After taking the order, they came back and said not available. Worst service and wonder how they are rated 3..

We placed an order for delivery. An item was missing, it's clearly on my receipt, and the restaurant refused to acknowledge the problem or make it right. They talked in circles, and finally hung up on me. Will not be returning. read more

The only Indian food I know of in this area and 100% the best! I used to live in ithaca where there is an abundance of different cuisine. I tried Indian food there, but because of medical conditions, I can't handle spicy anymore. This place gives you the option of mild medium and hot, which is extremely important to me. It's definitely worth trying, especially if you're tired of the regular chicken beef pork options in stores because they have lamb. read more

When I go to a restaurant, I like to go for the food. That said this place is desperately in need of an interior upgrade as it's dark, dingy, and honestly could use a full face lift. That said, I don't eat the decorations, but I do enjoy wonderful delicious Indian food! We started out with veggie samosas with a super tasty tamarind sauce unlike any I've ever had, Super yummy! I had the Chicken Mahkani and my girlfriend tried the Chicken Rogon Josh and both were so tasty. We also got an order of regular Naan bread which was crunchy and tasty and baked perfectly. For dessert, I tried the Indian rice pudding which was okay and she got the Coconut ice cream which was very nice. The smell inside was heavenly and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the experience. Prices weren't too bad and there was plenty of seating inside with distancing observed. Good place if you like good Indian food. if the interior decor and scenery bothers you then get a take out! You won't be disappointed. read more
