Discover The Thali Cafe in Easton, a warm and family friendly spot that can accommodate up to fifty guests. Immerse yourself in the world of vibrant and wholesome Indian street food, or opt for the convenience of the takeaway service. Nestled in Easton, a community centric neighbourhood that proudly stands out as one of the rare parts of Bristol that remains untouched by generic national-chain coffee shops, Thali Easton invites you to experience the rich tapestry of flavours in a cosy setting. Thali is open seven days a week, from 11.30am until 10pm Monday through to Friday, and on Saturday and Sunday between 10am and 9.30pm.
Snacks begin with poppadoms served with house chutneys in a tray of four – coriander coconut, tomato tamarind, mango chilli, coconut and ginger. Thalis include the chicken curry in a coconut, tomato sauce, curry leaves and a hint of green cardamom, inspired by the evocative flavours of the South, along with a traditional northern workers curry made with chickpeas, a warming blend of spices in a tomato sauce, and rice pancake filled with pea and potato, served with tangy lentil sambar and coconut chutney. The vegan show stopper is sweet roasted pumpkin in coconut, black eye bean and Garam masala sauce.
Sides include uttapam - a South Indian Rice bread with fresh coriander, coconut, tomatoes, and onion served with sambar and coconut chutney, and a crunchy salad with carrots, parsley, radish, cabbage, with mango and lime dressing and sunflower seeds. To finish, enjoy a bowl of gulub jamun - India’s most cherished festival dessert made fresh on site, featuring two warm Indian doughnut balls steeped in a delicate cardamom and saffron syrup.
