Thali is Reno’s only all-organic Indian restaurant that is vegetarian as well. Thali serves “thali” plates that come with a variety of lentils, beans, vegetable curries, handmade chapatis, rice and a dessert that is full of authentic flavor! They create a set menu every week so all you have to do is show up ready to be served a unique meal and experience like no other.

For lunch try the wasabi vegetable bowl, cold soba salad, jackfruit soft tacos, or the grilled Portobello deluxe with vegan cheese.
