Thanjai
One of the most highly regarded places for South Indian cuisine in the city, Thanjai operates out of a spacious, chandelier-lit space in the multi-ethnic neighborhood of Côte-des-Neiges. The restaurant’s specialty is the staple of southern India: the dosa, a large, slightly sour crepe, with flavors including ghee, paneer, chutney and a spiced version, with a cornucopia of fillings available. Also housing a party hall, this is a vibrant, often busy BYOB spot, with a good non-alcoholic drinks menu and quick access via Plamondon metro station.
