Monday Munchies: Thaali Menu at Spice Garden Indian Cuisine

Monday Munchies is supported by Botanica.

If you can make it past the hustle and bustle of national chains like In-N-Out, Chili’s, and Starbucks, you’re in for a treat less than 600 yards away on Arizona Pavilions Drive in Marana.

Spice Garden Indian Cuisine at 5815 N. Arizona Pavilions Dr. has a thaali menu that’s just $14.99 and big enough to feed two people.

Thaali is a traditional Indian-style meal served on a platter, including small portions of different dishes — think of it as a balanced mixture of flavors, textures, and nutrients. I don’t typically share meals with others but I caved in and shared this jumbo platter. I’m thankful I did, too, because it was very, very wholesome.

Keep scrolling to see your thaali options (it even comes with dessert).
