Thali of India

I like this place! The staff is nice and it is often quiet in house. The food tastes like homemade recipes, it's delicious and heartwarming. It would be great takeout. They have an expansive menu. I love the spices they use and next time I should order my food hot instead of medium for a little extra kick!

The person who took my order was super nice and friendly, but honestly, this was one of the worst Indian meals I’ve had. The samosas tasted old: like they were either undercooked or just reheated in the microwave samosas that were sitting out for extended period of time, Definitely they are not fresh. The biryani was a total disaster too, the rice was mushy, and it felt like they just mixed plain white rice with chicken curry. I’ve had biryani plenty of times before, but I’ve never seen random bell pepper pieces thrown in like that. And Garlic was undercooked on one side. I even asked for spoons and forks, but they forgot to include them. Overall, friendly staff but really disappointing food. I won’t be going back.

The staff was very friendly, and the food was delicious. Portions were on the smaller side, so the price felt reasonable, except for $3 for a single roasted papad, which seemed a bit too much. We noticed some guests mentioned the food was too spicy, so we ordered medium spicy. It was definitely on the hotter side for “medium,” but we enjoyed it since we like spicy food. If you prefer mild flavors, I’d suggest asking for less than medium spice levels. The restaurant itself is quite old and they seriously need to pay more attention to cleanliness. If you are very particular about cleanliness, check out the pictures in the reviews before going.

We had lunch at Thali of India in Corning NY on a Sunday for lunch and were the first coustomers of the day. Parking is limited on the street in front of the restaurant although a nice sized public parking lot can be found behind the buildings on Main street and on weekends its free to park. This parking lot also offers handicap parking. Greater was prompt upon arrival. When placing order server asked if we liked food spicy in which she placed food order to preference regarding spice. Server was friendly kind and explained menu choices. Beverage of choice was a chia hot tea and was delicious with the right amount of spice along with its creamy deliciousness. I highly reccomend the Nana garlic bread which was enough for two people to share. The bread was warm with the right amount of garli

Upon walking in we we were warmly greeted and seated immediately, the host right back with iced water and to see if we had any questions. I ordered the lamb vindaloo and my ordered the lamb biryani, the presentation and portion were impressive as was the flavor!
