Thali Indian Street Food in Cheshire East

after seeing such good reviews we were very excited to visit. but our table was booked for 6.30 and we only received starters at 8. there was a dark hair in my curry. was barely busy and the service was extremely disappointing. staff acting as if they have never had a job before. a waiter we had put the food on the table without asking who it was for or saying what it was. bill was incorrect adding around £20 extra to the whole family bill, the menus price is different then what they charge. will never be stepping foot in there ever again.

Called to ask if they cater for Gluten free and they were more than happy to cater for my needs. Explained what I couldn’t order!.. it’s the first time in a long time I have enjoyed what I’ve eaten without becoming ill. Excellent service and very tasty food.

One of the most lovely authentic places. The food was incredible and the owner/manager was so friendly. We had a 3 year old and he gave him stuff to draw with and also gave him a “magic pen” pen that could turn into 4 different colours. I would highly recommend and give this place 10/10

The main courses were pretty ok if more expensive than most Indians and the starters at £9 were way overpriced for what they were. The price of drinks was extortionate at £20.50 for a pint and half of beer and a glass of wine. Also, offering poppadoms when you sit down and then charging £8 for the privilege is taking liberties. The silly prices therefore Somewhat spoiled the occasion and no real surprise that the place was empty at 8pm on a Friday night.

An Amazing vegetarian thali. Freshly cooked. Will definitely come back again. Wine was good also and service was great.

We have been going for curry’s for Xmas dinner for the past 15 years. I normally travel to my parents but they came to poynton this year. I have been thali before and was amazed with their food. On Xmas day I was even more amazed. They didn’t scrimp on the portions nor did they rush us out of the building like other places in the past and all dishes tasted 10/10. They catered to meat eaters, vegetarians and a fuzzy vegan. My parents agreed that this was the best curry we have had in years and want to come back to poynton next year. Thanks to all the staff who fully looked afte us r, even offering us extra rice and naan for our curry’s and made it a Christmas to remember. If your thinking of booking thali next Christmas you will not be disappointed!

Super service from Imon. Excellent starters Super tasty food as usual. All washed down with a couple of pints of draught Cobra. Great evening. We’ll definitely return.

Amazing food! My boyfriend always orders the Thali and I always order the paneer kebab with a side of curry sauce. It’s so tasty and the staff are lovely and friendly. Very clean and welcoming atmosphere. They also give you a free aperitif ! It’s a Poynton gem!

Very friendly staff and pleasant surroundings. Good choice of dishes and the Thali combinations were excellently put together Very tasty and would definitely return

Came here on Friday night because I was wanting to try a Thali. I’ve been to India a couple of times and have had many Thalis but none outside India so was really looking forward to it. I ordered the Goan Thali because it was mix of meat and fish and each dish was very flavoursome. Some Nan bread in the middle and small portion of rice was suffice. Loved the Okra(lady fingers) that were lightly fried and lovely little dip to accompany. Couldn’t believe they are dog friendly inside which was a real bonus. The only gripe I have was that I ordered a pint of cobra and then half of cobra , the pint was £5.80 and the half was £4!!! I did mention it to them and they said it was a mistake and reduced to £3.50. I’m sorry if it’s half a pint it shouldn’t anymore than £3 if you’re charging £5.80 for a pint. There seems to be a lot of places doing this now not just here. Tip for restaurant try and use white fish like Cod in the curry

Lovely, friendly welcome - great, attentive service, food was lovely - very large portions which we couldn't finish - offered complementary after dinner drinks and that was a lovely touch - very reasonably priced and will definitely return - thank you!

Beautiful meal tonight. The puri starters are superb, really light, crispy, tasty morsels and highly recommended. We had the Thai for two as a main which was fantastic. It was a perfect mix of dishes that suited mine and my partner’s different tastes. The meat was cooked perfectly (with the exception of a couple of over cooked tandoori chicken pieces) and the quantity was more than enough to leave us satisfied. Particular favourites were the fish curry and the dumplings. Great value and attentive service. Thank you for a lovely night.

This is the only automatic Indian restaurant in Poynton. Serving authentic Indian food. The masala dosa is delicious. And the butter chicken is on a next level. Service is always fabulous. Try it for yourself

Finally visited Thali with group of friends having had lovely take sways during lockdown Absolutely lovely evening in delightful setting Food was amazing , go for the sharing platters to experience a great taste experience Lovely staff, great service and super value for money Would highly recommend and will definitely return

Food excellent. Genuine South Indian cuisine including Dosa's. Really enjoyed the food and ambience. Service very helpful as we had our 4 year old granddaughter with us and they served the meals in a way that suited all of us.

What a refreshing experience, from start to finish amazing . Bilal the owners customer service was outstanding. I dined with my girlfriend who is vegetarian who was excited when reading the amount of vegetarian options on the menu. I ordered the thali which bilal adjusted to my tastes which was a nice touch and we also ordered a dosa which is very rare to find at a restaurant at that quality. I am not normally a desert person but I had my arm twisted to get something from the vegetarian menu which was unreal. All the staff were amazing and once again thank you to bilal and his staff for his hospitality. We will be back All the best billy

A good Thali was shared with as expected a variety of curry dishes. It would have been improved if there was some fresh salad type things in the offering and if drinks service was more readily available from the table staff.

Returned again tonight for my fourth or maybe fifth visit. As always great service, fantastic food and good value for money…..

This is probably my 4t visit in last 2 months. I love this please. Beautifully decorated. I have always said it is like a tardis from the outside it doesn’t look much. From outside..But once you walk up the stairs . It’s just opened up...

Average food. Not bad , nothing special. . However £4.95 for a pint of warm coke. ? 2.95 for half pint. Same price as a pint. Warm as it will be out of a large plastic bottle from Aldi. £10 for 2 lots of poppadoms...

Visited for my Nanas birthday and it was fabulous both the food and the service! Will definitely re-visit and would definitely recommend!

Tremendous- lovely surroundings, fabulous service and a superb menu. A must visit or takeaway- check out the menu, and the high ratings speak for themselves.

First visit and excellent selection of dishes, I cant tolerate spicy food and the chef made me something special. Lovely atmosphere and staff

Large family dinner, well accommodated, very unusual way of showing off Indian cuisine and we loved it. Such nice food and would highly recommend!

I had been looking forward to tasting the food at this restaurant since there have been lots of positive reviews. I came away disappointed and will not return. The downstairs area does not strike a good first impression. After being seated we waited a while...

Had a takeaway for the first time last night. The food was excellent! So fresh and tasted fantastic. 1st visit but will be dining in very soon as we were so impressed 👍

Gorgeous thali at a very good price as they were doing an offer for Sunday but still great value at other times. Flavours were amazing and the naan was yummy. Well worth a visit. The owner is pleasant.

Went to Thali for Birthday celebration! Fantastic food we had the Goan Thali and Punjabi Thali. it was absolutely delicious! So different from the usual curries, a platter of 8 items, small dishes so a great taster of different things! Really loved it! Bilal looked...

Came for a birthday party and once again Bilal and his team were great and looked after us well, the food as usual was fantastic and we were made to feel very welcome. Slight disappointment with the canned lager but that was rectified straight away....

Wow! Not had indian food like this in stockport. The South Indian dishes are amazing. I loved the dosa as a starter and the meat thali. Staff were very friendly and helpful (particularly recommending what to eat). Will definitely be back.

Food top class as expected. Good home cooked style food!! Grilled dishes were my fav every time I have an Indian. Superb.

I've been to Thali a few times now & its always incredible. The food is always divine - I've tried many of the vegan / vegetarian dishes & all of them have been so flavoursome, delicious & so FRESH! The service is second to none,...

Excellent south indian food. Beautifully cooked and presented. We've been loads of times now. Great selection for veggies.

Our first time at Thali and we were definitely not disappointed! We started with poppadoms & chutneys followed by an eponymous Thali dish each. The pops were as crispy as they should have been and quite light. The Thali was a tray bearing eight individual...

Had a great catch up with friends here last night. Lovely authentic Indian food reasonably priced drinks and excellent service from very friendly attentive staff.
