Located just a few blocks from Concordia, it's tucked away on a side street ensuring cheap rent and awesome prices for some really delicious food. The Tandori chicken was my favorite especially when eating it with garlic nan.
It was a little intimidating the first time since the menu/ordering process wasn't totally clear for the buffet line, but when I approached with a deer in the headlights look the guy manning the cash register sorted me out.
For a treat I picked up a mango lassi which was decent enough for being more than an ocean's distance from any mango trees.
Thali works well as a quick and grungy establishment to stuff your gourd and carry on with your day. The food is cheap, portions are large, and it's on your plate within minutes. Thali also works when you are hankering for Indian food, not the best I've had but a decent approximation.
Bottom line, I'll be back for plenty more food at this hidden gem.
