"We’re always trying to find the best restaurants for every occasion, whether it’s as simple as a second date spot or something a little more obscure—like where to go when the power goes out at your place on Christmas. Thanal in Center City, with its spicy gunpowder shrimp tikka and slow-cooked curry lamb chops, works for both." - candis mclean
"The Deal: $20 Lunch and $40 Dinner If you live in Center City and still haven’t been to this Indian restaurant, we understand—it's located in a bit of a no-man's land. But the samosas, savory mulligatawny soup, and chicken tikka masala are all worth seeking out. And they're all on the lunch and dinner menus during CCRW." - candis mclean
"Thanal Indian Tavern's shrimp tikka is one of our favorite shrimp dishes in the city. It's incredibly earthy and smoky. While you could make an entire meal out of this and be happy at this Logan Square restaurant, we also suggest getting the goat curry and the Malabar fish cooked in coconut milk and tamarind gravy. Thanal never gets too packed and there are lots of tables, which makes it perfect for walk-ins or a last-minute group dinner when you want a place quiet enough to hear everyone at the table." - candis mclean
