Thaliwala

I finally tried the Goat Curry and it tasted just like the lamb, lol. I did try some new-to-me dishes, the Palak Paneer and Samosas. Unsure whether I would like paneer I can now slap myself because it's delicious. The spinach (palak or saag, depending on the restaurant) was rich and flavorful. The Samosas were good, but now I've tried them I can skip them. Not a fan. The Garlic naan was outstanding. Again, the spice level is so good I get medium+ now and it's perfect. Makes my scalp prickle and my nose run which says everything.

Wow just wow!! Totally authentic food. I went with some of my friends from India and they knew right away what to order - an off the menu platter Thali that looked like a lot of small plates of variety of foods. Beautiful presentation on a large silver platter with lots of other bowls inside it. I ordered chicken curry and vegetables and the curry was so so sooo perfect (mild) while my friends ate "spicy Indian style" food that when I had a bite, I nearly died from the spicy LOL Garlic naan bread to die for. Would go back in a heartbeat. Sad I didn't get any pictures because I was too excited to eat. Service wonderful. Large restaurant seating area. Ample parking.

Came here with a group excited for the thali, only to arrive learning that there's new management & they no longer offer it on the menu. We were all very bummed by this but we stayed and tried a bunch of other stuff still - momos, chicken 65, garlic naan & more. It was decent but nothing wow if you're familiar with Nepali food and quite a trek for those of us on the St Paul side. This place is a good option for those living nearby but imo, not worth the drive for those in the cities since other places do these same dishes. The servers were nice & it was very quiet so worked well for our mtg though.

Outstanding, authentic Indian food, made with love.I've eaten at many Indian restaurants around the metro, and Thaliwala is heads and shoulders about the rest!

The food is average, nothing tasty to remember afterwards. The owner was welcoming and asked how was everything with a pleasant smile and anticipating wonderful comments, so I didn't have the heart to be honest to him. They should improve on food taste, I like the location, cleanliness and staff there.

The owner and waitstaff are so very nice. The food was delicious and they give you a wide range of spice levels from mild to mild plus medium, medium plus, hot, super hot. Very reasonably priced and delicious. Large amount of choices on the menu and the restaurant was spotless clean.

Thaliwala is a hidden gem providing very authentic North Indian food in Chanhassen. Their management has changed recently, earlier this was a Nepali restaurant, now, while they have retained the 'momos', entire rest of the menu has been refreshed with a lot of options which you won't find elsewhere. The best thing is the staff and the Chef, who are extremely friendly and do ensure that you get a very pleasant experience along with good food.We tried Amritsari Chhole Kulcha and a non veg Thali. Both the items were very tasty and as per our spice palate. Non veg Thali had an appetizer, one chicken and one lamb dish along with dal and a dessert. They were very accommodating when I requested a few changes. Overall very good food, lot of options, reasonable pricing and excellent service. DON'T MISS this one !!

This place was great. We got chicken momo, the habanero sauce for it was delicious. We also got Aaloo Bhindi ( all vegetarian) and Lamb Vindaloo along with Veggie Pakora & Garlic Naan. Everything was very good. Lamb was on point. The Aaloo was a little salty, but still good. I will order again.

If you find "typical" Indian food to be a mishmash of spices covering veggies or a protein in a casserole-style dish, head over to Thaliwala, which recently opened in a nondescript strip mall in Chanhassen.This sparkling clean, friendly restaurant offers traditional Indian fare, but their specialty is "Thali's," or plates. A plate is a large metal serving plate rimmed with metal bowls, each containing a small portion of chicken, lamb, or veggies seeped in delicious sauces, basmati or brown rice, and a variety of vegetables, lentils, a thick Indian soup. Each plate comes with papadums, but several types of nan are also available, as are the familiar samosas and momos, a meat or vegetable-filled dumpling. Dessert is Kheer, a sweet pudding made of rice, sugar, and condensed milk topped with freshly grated cardamom.There is also a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.My take: Refreshingly different and delicious. I'm going back and hope to see you there.

Amazing food and great service. Good value too. We like the chicken tikka masala, beef biriani and naan bread.
