Immediately, let us know what they had run out of. Ordered the hummus and falafel, fries, and chai for the table. All of which were delicious. The falafel was crispy, and fries well seasoned. Everyone liked the food they ordered. All the entrees came out in stone pots, with big enough portions that we could have also gotten a couple entrees for everyone to share instead.

Thanal is our go-to spot for Indian takeout, but we finally dined in for the first time during…read moreRestaurant Week. It felt like the perfect chance to try some dishes we don't usually order while getting a good deal. Overall, the Restaurant Week menu was a solid value (up to $18 worth of extra food). While the dishes we ordered didn't quite beat our usual favorites, everything was still tasty. The restaurant itself is clean and well ventilated. It's also baby-friendly--they have high chairs, and although it can get a bit loud when busy, our little one didn't seem to mind at all. Big bonus points for convenient onsite parking with validation. It was freezing out, so being able to park and walk right in was a huge plus. The staff were very professional. One dish came out undercooked, and our server fixed it immediately. The Restaurant Week drink specials were just okay--I'd probably skip those next time. Since Thanal is already a regular in our takeout rotation, we'll definitely be ordering again soon. I'd also happily dine in again during the next Restaurant Week.

Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 4/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant is on the smaller side, but they did a great job maximizing the space they have. The ambiance and decorations are a very nice touch, and everything feels clean and well kept. Service - Even though we came on a Friday without a reservation, they were able to seat us within 20 minutes, which we really appreciated. Overall, the service was excellent. What We Ordered - Plain Paratha - which was not as good as the paratha I have had at other restaurants Saag Paneer - which was very good Lamb Karahi - which was also very good Final Thoughts - I would definitely come back if we are in the area again to try more items from the menu.

Street parking is available but it is probably better to walk or ride the bus. The rather humble decor contrasts with the clean tablecloths and cloth napkins suggesting a grander venue. The menu is quite extensive, including Balti, Hakka noodles, many goat dishes, and other relatively uncommon items. Vegetarian items are prominently featured. Since we were the only diners, service was excellent. All items, including the Chicken tikka masala, lamb roganjosh and chicken Balti were excellent. The mild spice level was barely noticeable, letting the complex spicy flavors and umami tastes shine through. The naan was also soft, chewy, and flavorful without the characteristic charring often encountered. We found the prices moderate although others might differ. All in all, a satisfactory experience worthy of a high rating.

Cons: the chicken pieces in the butter chicken dish were huge and difficult to eat. I dish they were cut into more bite size pieces. In general the butter chicken tasted great when doesn't it lol Pros: the saag paneer was amazing. The texture was perfect and the seasoning was great. The naan was also more memorable than usual. Way more garlicky than i was expecting (in a good way) The lamb biryani was a little expensive but also very good. To summarize, this is the perfect Indian takeout spot. Not the best I've ever had but an excellent choice for neighborhood takeout. I'd gladly go back and even dine in.
