Thali Bar
Thali, located at the entrance of Tonka, is a bar with a cocktail list designed to celebrate the wonderful world of Indian spice. Guests are welcome to pull up a stool and be guided through our eclectic cocktail, spirit, beer and wine lists. Although Thali offers a reduced selection of Tonka’s dishes there are plenty of options for a full dinner in a more informal space. Thali is open from 5:30pm until late, Monday to Saturday on a walk in basis.
Lunch Menu
For lunch during the week, Thali Bar celebrates the traditional Indian Thali. Choose from Avani’s lamb curry, butter chicken or palak paneer with dal, raita, rice and naan. Served on a traditional round plate and priced at $20 per person, bookings for Thali Bar are available Monday to Friday between 12.00pm and 2.00pm
