Thanima - Missouri City

Editing we are very disappointed with thanima and I’m lowering their stars for this particular reason They promised us sadya for onam and until last min, made us wait and finally stopped picking up calls. We had invited over 20 people and was dependent on sadya from them. But they completely ghosted us. They didn’t care to even apologize about this incident. Ever since this, we do not prefer to support the restaurant as we don’t find them dependable and honest. Their food might be good. But they cannot cater to many people and do not like to acknowledge it. The restaurant “Indian Palace” came to our last min rescue with great sadya for our guest.Their sadya was great! About their food We heard of this restaurant from our friend in Dallas and thought we would check it out as we’re not very satisfied with the Kerala restaurants around here... Thanima is a quaint restaurant, very neat. On our first visit, we had meals, chicken biryani, Porotta and beef fry; we were mind blown by the authenticity of the food.... The Porotta is extremely fresh, soft and flaky. So is the pal appam flawless and delicious! We have been visiting Thanima almost every weekend now even though we are 50mins away from the restaurant. The food is rich, authentic and absolutely delicious! The stuff you MUST TRY here pal appam, chicken curry, porotta beef fry, kappa/chakka puzhukku and fish curry and Biriyani.

Adipoli. Wow, amazing. Great service and good food. I felt like I was back home in Kerala. I was sooo happy with everything. Thank you so much.

Excellent food! Was craving for authentic food from Kerala and this place delivered!! We ordered, fish curry, chicken curry, meals, appam, parotta and vegetable stew. Loved all of it but my personal fav was the appam!! The best I've had. Tasted like homemade! I also loved how courteous and lovely the guy at the counter was.

Superb Kerala cuisine. We got the non-veg thali, veg stew, palappam, chicken curry, parotta, mathi(sardines) fry. Everything was fantastic. Felt like I was back in Kochi. Not to mention, very friendly folks running this gem of a joint. Not sure why this isn't rated 5 star on Google, but if you know what authentic Kerala cuisine is, don't hesitate to eat here.

New ownership since October 2020. Good and tasty food with large portions. Attractive furnishings and clean restrooms.
