Who am I without ghee podi thatte idli? Honestly, we don’t want to find out.
Soft, fluffy thatte idli, ghee, podi and the kind of comfort you keep coming back for.
Some things just belong together.

4 dishes to try before they go 👋
Five dishes are leaving our menu soon, and if you’ve been meaning to try them, this is your sign.
As a small Toronto café, we’re always experimenting, testing new ideas, and finding new things to bring to your table. This summer, that meant dishes like our Neer Dosa and Cloud Coconut Coffee, and seeing how much you enjoyed them made introducing something new all the more special.
But seasonal menus also mean knowing when to say goodbye. 🤍
We’re making a little room for what’s coming next, so come get your favourites one more time before our fall menu takes over.

A little piece of Thindi, on its way... ☕📦
If you’ve had our filter coffee at the café, this is the same coffee Arabica + chicory blend we brew behind the counter every day.
We started selling our coffee powder because we wanted you to be able to make a proper South Indian filter coffee at home — strong, frothy and just the way you like it.
And yes, we ship it too. 🤎
Take Thindi Home — House Filter Coffee Blend. Checkout our Retail Shop for delicious house-made snacks and spices go with your coffee.

The green chutney behind a LOT of your Thindi favourites. 💚
We make it in-house, and somewhere along the way realized… why should you only get to have it when you’re at the café?
So now we jar it too. For sandwiches, chaat, wraps, snacks—or whatever else you inevitably start putting it on. 😅
Made at Thindi. Take it home.

Not just coffee. A ritual. ☕🤎
Strong coffee. A little chicory. Hot milk. And that all-important pull between cups until it’s perfectly frothy.
South Indian filter coffee is one of those little rituals that instantly feels like home ✨
Happy World Coffee Day from us to you.

This one started with a very simple brief: something filling, with protein + veggies, but still fresh enough for summer. ☀️
Then I came across a yogurt-based sandwich on Instagram and immediately thought… this could be SO good.
We tested it, made a few Thindi tweaks, added a warm ghee tadka and voilà — the Ghee Tadka Veggie Grill was born. 🥪
What I didn’t expect? For it to become one of our own most-repeated lunch orders this summer. 😂

Apparently we all have that one Thindi order we keep going back to. 😂
So we put the team on the spot: what’s your lunch order on repeat right now? 🎤
Now your turn — what’s YOUR Thindi order on repeat?

This recipe almost didn’t make the menu. 😅
You’d think a simple vanilla cake would be easy to get right. Turns out, the simplest things are sometimes the hardest.
Too dense. Too dry. Too short. Too crusty. We tested batch after batch, tweaking one little thing at a time—and somewhere along the way, this cake genuinely almost broke me. 😂
But we kept going.
And after more trials than I care to count, we finally landed on the soft, simple Iyengar-style Eggless Cake we’d been chasing all along. 🤍
Sometimes the simplest recipes take the most work.

For the vegetarian/vegan restaurant and Indian restaurant located at College Street in Toronto, there are a few options for public transport and driving/parking.
If you're taking public transit, the closest TTC subway station is Bathurst Station on Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth). From there, you can take the #511 streetcar heading westbound towards Exhibition Place and get off at College Street. Then it's just a short walk to the restaurant.
For those driving or taking a taxi, there is limited street parking available on College Street during peak hours, so it may be easier to find a spot on one of the side streets nearby. Alternatively, there is a Green P parking lot located just off of Bathurst Street at Lippincott Street, which is about a 5-minute walk from the restaurant.
Overall, this location is easily accessible by both public transit and driving/parking options.
