Best Indian you will ever eat! This is my most favorite Indian restaurant ever. Be prepared for a taste bud sensation and to feel so full you may just pop! Thali is unconventional, makeshift and unexpected, reflecting the behaviours and spirit of India; the land, the people and the cuisine. Thali started as a street food truck at Glastonbury Festival after founder Jim Pizer travelled to India and fell in love with the food. The parallels between Thali’s make-shift beginnings and the atmosphere, attitude and spirit of India offers a unique interpretation of Indian food. Thali showcases the hero dishes of the subcontinent from the back streets of Bombay to the beach shacks of Goa.
