Unforgettable meals at thali restaurants

by Jenny Jonson Writer

Sure we love to experiment with various cuisines, but in our heart of heart we know that nothing can fill our tummy and bring the satisfaction that traditional Indian food can bring. The food that we grew up on, the food that we are always ready to eat and the food that we sorely miss when we aren’t in the comfort of our own home, that food is the best food. We are never fully content with a meal until we eat a variety of yummy food with our hands! That is the perfect meal for every Indian. But what do you do when the whole family wants to eat out, but you still want that wholesome satisfying meal? Go to thali restaurants of course!

 

Thali places are those perfect places that have the perfect culmination of variety and satisfaction at the perfect price. No more compromising between price and taste. These mostly vegetarian restaurants are great fun for the whole family. You can have an extravagant three or four course meal without breaking the bank! Thalis usually consist of up to 4 starters, enjoyed with a refreshing glass of lassi or chaas, almost 4-5 types of vegetables and dals, several types of rotis and choice of steamed or fried rice. And to top it all off, you get a delicious dessert! Thaalis themselves have a great variety to choose from, depending on your preference and mood you can go in for Punjabi, Rajasthani, Gujarati, Bengali, Maharasthrian, South Indian and even Chinese!

 

Thali restaurants are a great example of places following traditional Indian customs of serving food. History has records of even Kings and Queens being served a variety of their favorite dishes in a thali. Another ancient tradition that thali eateries follow is the ancient science of Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, the perfect meal must consist of something salty, something sour, something bitter and something sweet. And because thalis have dishes served right from starters to desserts, it ensures that all of these tastes are included in your meal. Ayurveda states that having all these tastes in your meal ensures good health and perfect functioning of the body. Ayurveda claims that this is the secret to good health and a long life.

 

With a plethora of options available today, some vegetarians still fell that regular restaurants do not offer the several delights that vegetarian restaurants that serve thalis can offer. For a vegetarian, a thali restaurant is just like coming home. Thali eateries truly feel like coming home. The ambience that they provide is very casual. The servers at these restaurants always have a great attitude and a sense of humor. The have a certain joy reflecting on their faces while they serve the unlimited food. Because of this, thali places truly offer a dining experience. This is what makes them so attractive to so many people everywhere.

 

Thali restaurants offer their patrons a meal to remember. I guarantee that every family or group of friends who come to eat at these restaurants talk about which item they liked the most and why they want to come back. These restaurants offer much more than just a meal; they offer a complete package of fun, food and memories.
