Hot damn - that was amazing! The thali was simply delicious. The black bean dal was incredible, as was the squash and potato dish. I liked the saag as well, but it was simply pretty good vs "oh wow!" It was served with rice, two fresh roti, yogurt sauce, a fabulous chutney (I asked - it was made with apples), veggies, and pickled veggies. I got a refill of the dal and squash - so so so good. I am so full but completely happy. I wish I lived nearby so I could come here all the time. Not only was the food fabulous, but the guy behind the counter was lovely and I loved the beautiful bird painted on the wall. Ok, back to my food coma. :) read more

Thali - Today's Vegan Seasonal Thali (plate)! - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Delicious and authentic Indian cuisine in Reno. Love the eclectic decor and space they created. Also happy to see kombucha on tap options. Very friendly service. Small business run by people who care about the food they make. My only wish is that it was less spicy, as even the "mild" was quite spicy! read more

Located in the West street market, Thali has a very small menu which features vegetarian and vegan options. I forget the names of the dishes but I got some donut shaped dumplings and something that reminded me of a savory crepe but cooked more like a quesadilla. The tomato chutney was the stand out with its complex flavor and bit of kick,though I found the meal to have a bit too much salt. The kombucha was pretty good and I assume it to be homemade and not super carbonated. Probably one of the better vegetarian meals I've had and probably the first place I'd suggest if a vegan was looking for a lunch spot. Service was decent read more

Customer service is wonderful. No I mean so much different and better than you topically encounter. Thali is located in the West Street Market on West, who knew. They have vegetarian and vegan dishes. I chose a prefix plate that included 3 entree offering plus yogurt, sweet rice dessert, rice and fresh warm roti. For me this was just enough to eat but the server/cook asked if I wanted extra servings. She had bunny chow , a naan pocket bread stuffed with potatoes in a rich curry sauce. Spectacular! Eat inside or at tables in the market courtyard or take away. There are several other restaurants in the market, so make the rounds and try them all. We did and enjoyed each one. read more

Thali is my all-time favorite Indian restaurant! They have such a unique concept: instead of a standard menu, they serve a set meal that changes daily based on seasonal ingredients. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The food comes beautifully plated with rice in the middle, roti on the side, plus yogurt and a dessert. Everything is vegetarian-friendly, and they also offer a vegan version (they'll simply swap the yogurt for a non-dairy option). The restaurant has a small seating area up front, a larger shared dining space with plenty of tables, and even outdoor seating for the warmer months, so there's always a comfortable spot to enjoy your meal. The staff are always friendly and easy to talk to. Serj, the owner, is great, you'll often see him around the restaurant greeting guests and helping out wherever needed. The whole place has a warm, welcoming energy that makes you feel like part of their community. read more

At Thali, you get whatever there special is that day (3 small dishes) plus roti, rice and condiments. I've been several times and one dish always has a medium spice to it. The price has gone up a bit over the years as every has but if there's increases anymore, it doesn't seem worth it but maybe they use special ingredients that aren't easy to obtain in Reno. Food is good and I'm always pleasantly full but not uncomfortably so. read more

To be fair, I can't really eat here yet but we were there last night for a mixer. I ordered a Lassi and my bestie got wine. I saw food being prepared though and it looked amazing. They definitely deserve a try if you like Indian food. They don't have an actual menu though just one plate with options. Employees were so nice, friendly and accompdating and that right warranted this review. It's also a cozy setting where you can sit and enjoy time with friends. read more

Thali - This is "the menu". - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This was my second time eating at Thali. I first came here years ago when they first opened. I love the flavors and Indian food. I have to say the parking is a little challenging. Tonight I came with a group of friends. I ordered the all you can eat plate. Our server , Nehal, was so friendly and helpful. She was telling us that lentils have the same amount of protein as eggs. Loved the attentive service. The plate consisted of all vegetarian dishes. Such a fun evening out and experience! read more

After trying Thali at the Diwaliwood Yelp event, I knew I had to visit soon. I visited Thali the day after Thanksgiving and it was the perfect post-Thanksgiving lunch. Thali offers authentic Indian cuisine in a way that no one else in Reno does. We ordered the Utapam and Samosa Chat, both of which were delicious. I am looking forward to coming back to try the Thali dinner, which most Indian restaurants don't offer. There isn't much service at Thali. You order at the counter and your food is brought to you, but water is self-serve at the counter. The restaurant itself is cool and features different artwork. Overall, I'm glad I gave Thali a try and can't wait to come back! read more

Delicious and unique spot! We arrived out of the pouring rain about 35-40 mins before they closed and stood awkwardly near the counter for a minute or so, not sure what to do or how it worked. I believe it was the owner that came over to greet us and confirmed our order - two standard (vegetarian) plates. I explained my allergy (tree nuts! Cashews usually abound in vegan/vegetarian food!) and he said not to worry, we would just avoid the vegan yogurt. We waited about 15 minutes for our two plates to be brought out, and immediately dove in, both out of hunger and out of feeling bad that we arrived so close to closing time. The owner/server/cook came by to ask if we wanted any refills - I said "yes please but only if it's easy, I know you're closed now and we got here late!" He said it was no problem, to take our time and relax and not feel rushed. I didn't realize it but they have one set plate per day with three main entrees. Our dishes were a potato curry, a lentil curry, and a spinach curry. Spinach and potato were our favorite and we got refills of both, along with more bread and rice. Everything was delicious and hot, so comforting on a rainy cold night! It's a small place that I imagine would get crowded during peak hours but even so, it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the Reno area! read more

Exceptional little spot in Reno. The staff was very helpful for the dinner options (fixed seasonal vegetarian plates with 3 entrees, roti, raita, pickled veggies, rice and a dessert that you can either order standard or bottomless). The entrees included a veggie curry, a bean dish, and a lentil dish. All of the dishes were flavorful and complimented each other, it was exactly the veggie boost I needed mid week. My only regret is I don't think I'll be able to make it back for the lunch dosa, which from the other pics looks phenomenal. read more

Overall, it was an okay experience. My friends and I all got the all-you-can-eat thali, which came with wheat roti, rice, yogurt, dessert, and 3 various lentils/saag. The food was decent quality, but nothing special. My favorite parts were the saag and spiced rice dessert. The "all-you-can-eat" aspect was interesting to me. Since it was busy, we had to flag down staff to get refills of each item. It was cool that we could also refull the roti and rice! However, service was slow due to the busy food hall around us. This business is located in the West Street Market! Really bustling on a Friday night. The seating area is shared with the different shops and restaurants in the building. read more

Thali - All-you-can-eat - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

A unique concept with amazing food. It's a set vegetarian menu, so you need to be open to tying different dishes/flavors. You're served several different dishes, which were all delicious. I had saved this restaurant to go to, and forgot why, but was in the area. Walking up, I was hesitant on what to expect. The visible front of the restaurant was empty. Glad I didn't let that deter us. There's an enclosed courtyard in the back with 2 other eateries (that I didn't know existed), where people were dining with live music being played. Truely enjoyed the experience and food. P.S. If you're not a vegetarian, don't let that dissuade you. It's worth trying out. read more

Randomly came to this place with friends when our original spot was closed. I knew this place was close but never got to try it til today. I told the person at the counter I was down for a surprise and I liked everything and I wanted a good amount of spice. Got like veggie crepe with a yogurt sauce a stew and like a butter sauce to dip in with savory donuts. Was super happy and probably the best vegetarian food I've ever had. Also in the back is a nice vibe with other restaurants and a cool stage where they have concerts Sometimes. read more

Didn't realize this wasn't a normal sit down restaurant. It's one seasonal dish every day, you can pay for one plate or all you can eat.

Another home run restaurant in downtown Reno! We ordered two different dishes that came with three different flavors for dipping. The spices used were tantalizing. A large Sikh family was there for lunch and I watched them as they ordered some pretty good plates. Service was great and it was in a food court with a vegan restaurant ( the Fixx) and a very cool pizza place ( the pizza collective). I highly recommend this place for a fun place that serves wonderful authentic Indian cuisine. read more

After 7 years I think it is time for an update! I have come back here many many many times over the last 7 years and I have to say, they are really consistent. Staff are friendly and helpful, the food it outstanding, and the prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of the meals. As always, the meals are made from fresh and locally sourced food. The spices and flavor notes are complex and very appealing. All the dishes are vegetarian and most are or can be modified to be vegan and/or gluten free. This is is the first time I have had lunch here since Maya's moved to their own location. The lunch menu is different from their evening Thali menu. You have a choice of different items. This time I Joined a friend for lunch. We both started off with Cha, a lovely spicy warm creamy concoction , perfect for a cold winter day. I ordered the Samosa Chaat, she ordered the Chana Masala. Both dishes were delicious (yes we shared) and while there were similar ingredients the flavors were quite different. The samosa was spicy with a bit of heat served in a bowl of chana dahl. The seating in the restaurant itself is very small. We opted for one of the booths in the common area. The sun shining through the plants on the window sill made for a lovely homey ambiance. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. You pay after eating. Service is not super fast, but it is a small family owned business and the meals are freshly made and the meals are worth the short wait. And yes - I will continue to come back. read more

I went for the first time for lunch, and it was fabulous! I love South Indian staples like the masala dosa and channa masala (chickpea stew). The food is delicious, filling, and healthy.

Found this vegetarian Indian restaurant on Yelp that I thought would be a good option for my wife, who has a gluten allergy, and my friend, who is vegetarian. Upon walking in there was some confusion as their set up is super weird. For some reason, you order at the register but then don't pay until after your meal. After ordering, you're asked to have a seat in the back. The dining area in the back is set up like a food court, with a couple other businesses also sharing the same tables. We waited so long for our food that we thought they forgot about us and/or forgot our order! In fact, we even placed an order at the Vegan Mexican restaurant for chilaquiles that were ready within minutes! As we were contemplating going up to cancel our order, the drinks finally came. Geez, took like 20 min! Our food then took an additional 10 to 15 min to arrive!! The food was alright but the service and wait time really turned us off! After our meal, we were required to bus our own tables and then go back up to pay! And to add insult to injury, they even asked for a tip even though there was no table service or bussers! Overall we had a terrible experience and definitely won't be back!! read more

I was surprised by the tastiness of the food and how everything was vegetarian. The sauces are amazing and pair well with garlic naan. The samosas were fried and crispy with a good combination of seasonings on top. Their yogurt drink was not my thing. Seating is in a small food court where you buss your own plates. There's street parking outside, so prepare to pay for meters if it's not a holiday or Sunday. read more

The food is so good and fresh here! Truly a gem in Reno. Super easy to make everything gluten free and vegan, too.

I was duped into coming here, a carnivore invited to what I thought was a standard Indian restaurant. I thought I'd be noshing on fish pakora, butter chicken, and goat curry. Instead, I discovered I had been invited to a vegan/vegetarian only establishment, and didn't know until it I sat down and looked at the menu. That being said, even though I wanted meat... What I got wasn't bad. Tasty, in fact. The restaurant also has a cool vibe to it, and in fact had ANOTHER restaurant inside sharing the space.... But also vegan. I can't for the life of me remember the names of the little pillow things I got that were served with three different sauces, but it was delicious. The pillow things had a great texture, very cloud like, but nice to chew. It soaked up the various sauce nicely, as well. The samosas were.... different. They had some sort of sweet sauce on them, and had been cut open/exploded, and some of them were missing filling. Still, for the most part delicious. The potatoes and veggies it was stuffed with had a great texture, and the shell was crispy. The naan was... Naan. Perfect textbook example of garlic naan. Nothing bad to say. But I will say this... It takes a loooong time to get your food here. Came for lunch, and took a solid hour for everybody at the table to get their food. And so, this carnivore gives a VEGAN/VEGETARIAN restaurant a 4 out of 5. One star off for taking a long while to get the food, and for the exploded samosas missing filling. Still, if you're vegetarian person, I could see this place being absolutely delectable. You should definitely check it out, as everything is seasoned very well. As for myself, I probably won't return (just being honest) because while delicious, this place REALLY made me miss the meats. read more

I guess I'm picky about my South Indian food looking at all the reviews as I was not impressed. I ordered a masala dosa and the crepe part of the dosa was thicker and not crispy which is opposite of how I like it. The potato filling was cut really largely with the skin on the potatoes which I was not a fan of. Not to mention the AC was not working on a HOT day which made the experience worse. read more
