This was my first Indian restaurant experience but definitely not my last. The bar has been set. I had the Vindaloo a signature cocktail and split a sampler appetizer. Absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere and great service.
Amazing place. Great service from everyone you meet. The place is beautiful for a dinner date or group affair. The food is delicious. Would recommend any of the Indian curries and biryani. Definitely would come again!
We popped in for a Friday lunch break while touring around Saint John. I had the Thai Chicken Mango Curry. You can trust a great delicious meal here the decor is a conversation starter!
Such amazing food and the portions were very generous as well! Definitely should check out and in the area! We ordered the Indian platter for 2, as well as the saag curry with vegetables (super delicious combo)!
Delicious Indian (Southeast Asian) Fusion. They have some great Indian and Thai dishes. Their spin on the traditional Pad Thai was excellent, as it uses tamarin as the based sauce, so the Pad Thai is nice sweet and tangy.
Stopped in at Thandi Indian and had the chicken masala. It was rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The spices were well balanced and the portion was generous. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed. A great spot for anyone craving quality Indian food in Saint John.
The food spectacular, great atmosphere, always good service and last but not least … the owners! The desserts are prepared by the lovely Holly when she isn’t being a fabulous host and Ken whom we had the pleasure to meet on our last visit make Thandi the wonderful restaurant that it is. This is a go to spot in every way.
