About Thali
Thali brings traditional South Indian dining to downtown Ottawa. The restaurant is named after the thali — a circular platter with multiple small dishes that gives you a complete Indian meal in one tray. It's the traditional way to eat in Kerala, and it's the best way to experience the range of flavours Indian cuisine has to offer.
The menu travels guests to Kerala with unique and powerful flavours. Vegetarian options are plentiful, and halal meat is available.
