Thali: A Revered Indian Restaurant in New Canaan

November 27, 2015 by

One of the tri-state area’s most successful chefs, Prasad Chirnomuola has opened literally dozens of restaurants since he came to the United States in 1984. With culinary training from the School of Culinary Arts in Poona, he brings an incredible mastery of spices and flavors to the table. He has four Thali restaurants throughout Connecticut, and each of them serves up spectacular Indian dishes that tantalize the palate. Located in an old bank on Main Street, the New Canaan outpost was the first one and quickly brought the joys of gourmet Indian food to the masses. Some of the most popular dishes include the exceptionally tender New Zealand lamb and the seafood – try the shrimp kabobs, which are spectacular. No meal is complete without at least one piece of the tender, fluffy naan bread cooked in the tandoori oven. The buffet is a popular choice for lunch, as it lets you sample some of the best dishes at a very affordable price.

Take a Culinary Tour of India With a Meal at Thali

October 29, 2015 by

Experience the flavors of Indian cuisine with a visit to Thali in New Canaan. This high-end Indian restaurant serves fresh, authentically spiced dishes, many of which are based on the chef's family recipes.

Try, for example, the andhra chicken, served in a unique poppy seed, clove, and cardamom sauce, or go for the unique coconut saag lamb, which combines tender lamb with roasted coconut, red chilies, and a creamed spinach sauce. All entrees are served with jasmine rice and dal, the traditional stew that accompanies most meals in Indian homes. And don't forget that no meal is complete without an order of flatbread from the clay tandoor oven. Garlicky naan is a perpetual favorite, as is roti, made with whole wheat flour.

If you’re curious about multiple items on the menu, try timing your visit to coincide with the lunch buffet so you’ll be able to sample a little bit of everything.
