    Punjabi Thali with Fada Lapsi and Mango Lassi
    Tabitha W.

    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.

    Thaal is a great spot for authentic Kathiyawadi food! The thali is super tasty and definitely a must-try. Service is good, and the ambiance is decent and nice -- perfect for a cozy meal with friends or family.

    First time coming here with friends and my first time eating Indian cuisine. The worker was really nice and kindly explained every dish and how to eat each item and what it is. Could not have asked for a better experience.

    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.

    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!

    Real, fresh, authentic cooking by a knowledgeable staff. Charming, colorful setting and furnishings. Great place to explore Indian cuisine. Been there half a dozen times; have never not been impressed with everything we were served. Every staff member I've met has been helpful and friendly. Prices extremely reasonable considering the quality of the food.

    Such a hidden gem in The Region. The meal was fresh and delicious. The staff is very attentive and courteous. Any questions about the menu was answered. I wasn't sure about something they made suggestions. The place is simple but very nice decor.

    WE ORDER Kathiyawadi Thali AND Dal Bati Churma ...both are very good Must Try !!!!

    We ordered Kathiyawadi Thali and Dal baati churma and guess what we just love it also they have the best people around there ....Too Good ...

    Authentic, friendly, tasty, well-balanced, and a much-welcomed addition to an area somewhat lacking in vibrant cuisine and flavors. Thank you, Thaal.

    Absolutely not! This was the dirtiest restaurant I've seen. Yea, they need to make repairs, but…read morerepairs aside it was just filthy. Dirt on the walls. Dirt on the tables. Floors that probably haven't been mopped in weeks, but the dirt might be holding down the floor boards. The worker behind the counter yelled across and told us to have a seat. There was NO ONE in the whole place. We didn't even sit down. We just took at look at the booths and left. If the front of house is that dirty what does the back look like. No thank you! I'm sure they'll be closed soon.

    I've been searching for a good Indian restaurant around NWI, and we decided to drive out to Sauk…read moreVillage to give this one a try. This was actually our second time coming to the restaurant; on our first attempted visit, we'd actually arrived when they were still serving their American menu, which we were not interested in. It would be helpful if their website made their split hours abundantly clear to avoid any mishaps like this. We had the dining room to ourselves for the majority of our dinner. The bulk of their business seemed to be carry-out/third party delivery services. Their menus looked well-crafted, but they had been hand-modified to update their prices, which definitely impacted their aesthetic. I ordered the Paneer Butter Masala, and my husband had the Spinach Paneer Masala. Our dishes were both okay - not the best but not the worst Indian I've ever had. We both requested mild spiciness, but my husband's dish definitely had a much stronger kick to it. We shared an order of the Paneer Kulcha, which was the best part of our experience. Delicious and generously filled with paneer. The most curious part about our experience was that when our server brought out our entrees, he asked if we wanted rice. In every Indian dining experience I've had, rice always came standard with the entrée. He brought us out a dish of rice after we confirmed that we did want it. Unfortunately, this one dish of rice was not enough for both of our entrées when we took the leftover curries home with us. For dessert, we had the Ras Malai and Gulab Jamun. Both items were tasty, although I didn't find the description of the Ras Malai to be accurate as it didn't remind me of a cheese cake at all.

    The south side of Chicago is a bit of a food desert for high quality ethnic food or even good…read morerestaurants. I visit family a few times a year and have struggled to find reliable places (or really any), especially for Thai and Indian. Well, this new restaurant changes all of that. The food is delicious, and very fresh. It has some unique flavor profiles but they are more complex than expected. I got the Lamb Vindaloo and it had a more rich and interesting mix of ingredients than I have found elsewhere. One good test too is if you feel good afterwards as some places use oils instead of onions for the base. This place passes on all fronts. The rice and naan were decent as well. I was told that the spice index was (2=mild, 5=medium, 7=hot). I ordered a 6 and it was pleasantly spicy/hot. I have a feeling that 7 is "white guy hot" and if you really like it spicy and can handle ethnic levels of spice, 8-10 is probably there for you if requested. The place was basically empty and other reviewers have mentioned how quiet it is. I came on Monday night and it had been raining, so I wasn't expecting much of a crowd. A few takeout drivers came in. The service was excellent and friendly and informative. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. It is very basic/functional with a little bit of decoration. Lots of seating. The south side doesn't have a lot of great buildings with character and many are more "strip mall" like, and I can appreciate that it would be a bit hard to make it look that great. Overall a definite 5 stars and I will come back again in the future.

The food was so fresh and flavorful and the portions were large enough to share and take home leftovers. I will definitely return.

The man working there was friendly and knowledgeable, and the restaurant was clean with plenty of open tables to choose from. My only suggestion for improvement is that I'd love to see additional paneer options for the lunch special- I would have absolutely ordered 2 different paneer entrees, but I had butter chicken for my second choice and it was also delicious! Tip: parking in DT Wheaton can be crazy sometimes. If you're planning to arrive here at a specific time, definitely give yourself extra time to find parking and walk.

Parking can be tricky especially during weekends but, there is plenty of street parking and garages close by. The place was empty but we did come in for a late lunch. We did see a few people coming and going for carry out orders too. The restaurant is kept clean and staff members were very helpful and kind. They did try to upsell items but were respectful when I declined. I decided to go with 1 of their quick combos, Combo B. It comes with 2 entrees, rice, and naan. For ~$13 this is a great option to try a variety. I tried the chicken tikka masala and the saag paneer. It was flavorful and delicious. Portion is generous and I could have brought home left overs but couldn't resist. I ate everything in 1 sitting.
