I really liked the food and the vibes at Thali, the butter chicken is my top in Rochester right now. But I gotta say, I was slightly disappointed with the service. When we came in, it took a while for any server to even notice us, and I had to kind of ask for a menu or service. However, that was acknowledged and they gave me a drink to make up for it.Although, I was later charged for the drink at the end of my bill. So, that was weird lolOther than that, once the order was taken, our food was out fairly promptly, and I really liked what we had. I would quite love to go back!

Great food & pretty good about dietary restrictions IME As someone with a capsaicin intolerance from severe GERD, you can probably imagine that Indian food doesn't usually get along with my stomach. But I love the flavors enough to occasionally risk it & ask for the mildest possible heat level (/no chilies). I ordered paneer korma the other night & was ecstatic to find a truly mild yet delicious dish (labeled "child mild" on the receipt); I could tell the cook understood my request to nix the spiciness without sacrificing the flavor of other *spices*, which I've found to be a rare occurrence. Thali of India has cemented its place as my go-to South Asian restaurant! Maybe someday I'll brave the acidity of tomatoes & try other dishes, but I'm quite content with the korma for now. Side note, my partner's mushroom mattar did also come milder than asked for so next time we'll have to be more clear about the heat level she's requesting

I drove in from Buffalo on the rec of a close friend who went to the U of Rochester and loved this place. I didn't believe there were any Indian buffets left post-COVID, so I was happy to see Thali thriving. I enjoyed the buffet and appreciated the diversity and randomness of dishes: dosa, chicken biriyani, goat curry, gobi manchurian, samosas, bhatura, etc. Things for the Desi and non-Desi palate (though nothing was hot enough for me so I added the coriander chutney and pickles liberally). Would certainly drive back for the regular menu dinner.
Great food selection in buffet. Amazing food!!!
