A must try for vegetarian Indian food in Cincinnati! They have weekday and weekend thalis in addition to street foods and Indian inspired sandwiches. We ordered the weekend thali and these are the items included: welcome soup, Chaat & Farsan, Potato, Green mixed Vegetables, Paneer, Bean Curries, Fresh Roti & Puri, Dal & Rice, Khichdi-Kadhi,chaas (spiced buttermilk), Pickle, Fryums, Chutneys. It may look like small portions but in the end you are very full! It’s a good variety and the dishes are very tasty. The spice level is minimal. We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Service is excellent. We dined there on a Saturday, early evening, and it wasn’t busy but probably at other times it is full, so calling to check table availability would be advised. Next time we will try the street food. Come experience and enjoy the savory cuisine!

We recently visited Maanki Thali & Indian Street Food for lunch around 1:00–1:30 PM and ordered quite a spread: Undhiyu Puri, Lilva Kachori, Gujarati Daily Thalis, Royal Gujarati Thali, Katka Dabeli, Maanki Special Sandwich, Mango Lassi, and Tea.
Let me start with the positive — the ambience and seating are excellent. The place looks beautiful, well-decorated, and thoughtfully designed. The overall vibe is very inviting and comfortable. If I had to rate purely based on atmosphere, it would easily be 4.5/5.
However, unfortunately, the food did not match the setting.
The biggest issue was that almost everything was served cold. For a lunch service, we expected fresh and hot food, but the Undhiyu Puri, Thalis, Dabeli, Sandwich — everything felt like it had been sitting out. We even mentioned that certain items were supposed to be hot, but nothing was really done about it. The response was just a casual acknowledgment with no corrective action.
The Lilva Kachori was especially disappointing. The outer layer seemed cooked, but the inside was doughy and felt undercooked/raw. You could clearly tell the inner layer wasn’t properly done.
For the Gujarati Daily Thali and Royal Gujarati Thali, when we asked what curries would be included, we were told chole curry. But when the plates came out, it turned out to be black-eyed peas curry instead. That mismatch itself was confusing. The thalis had variety, but temperature and flavor really affected the experience. The thali included a churma ladoo, which tasted stale — almost like old dalda with a plasticky aftertaste, as if it had been stored for too long.
The Maanki Special Sandwich was underwhelming — it was basically dabeli masala with paneer inside. Nothing particularly special about it.
The Katka Dabeli was average but again cold, which affected texture and taste.
We also had masala chaas with the thalis, and it was extremely bland. We had specifically requested medium spice food. We regularly eat medium spice, but it usually still has flavor and balance. Here, everything tasted under-seasoned and lacking salt. I’m not sure if the cold temperature reduced the flavor perception, but overall the food was very bland.
The tea was served cold the first time and had to be sent back to be reheated.
The Mango Lassi was okay, but that was one of the few things that didn’t disappoint.
What was more concerning is that later in the day, everyone in our group felt very bloated. A few people even experienced stomach upset. None of us ate anything else after this lunch, so it was clearly linked to this meal. That was quite disappointing and worrying.
It’s unfortunate because the place looks amazing and has such potential. But what’s the use of a beautiful setup if the food quality, temperature, and overall execution are lacking? We genuinely wanted to enjoy authentic Gujarati food, but this visit did not meet expectations.
I hope the management focuses on serving food fresh, hot, and properly seasoned, and ensures better quality control moving forward.

As a vegan/vegetarian it can be difficult to find a delicious, high quality restaurant meal. We found it at MaanKi Thali and it is amazing. The quality is evident and the food is authentic. We had the opportunity to speak with the owners and she told us that she prepares everything from scratch each and every morning, and it shows! Here’s another great thing about MaanKi Thali…. everything is served on copper plates/cups/utensils. Not only does it provide health benefits, it looks elegant also. We’ve just found our absolute favorite restaurant!
One more thing, they have outdoor seating during warmer weather and you can bring your dog, score!

A new resturant to try. Take a break from the meat and potatoes. A vegetarian place that has all the flavors you crave. The Thali’s are a complete meal. The 3 individual curries that day were lentil, potato and paneer. The other side dishes rounded the meal out with a salad, appetizer, breads and dessert.
Also ordered the Bombay Bhel (a crunchy salad) and Lilva Kachori (like a croque).
They can also make vegan thali.
I will be going back.

Yet another fantastic Friday lunch with my favorite people! As usual, the crew picked Maanki Thali, and honestly, it’s become our go-to for a reason.
The staff were warm and welcoming, and what really stands out every time is how everything is made fresh by the chef/owner — you can truly taste the love and care in every bite.
I tried the Friday Special: Khadivadi Thali, something completely new to me — and it was absolutely excellent! Every dish was bursting with the right flavors, textures, colors, and just the perfect balance.
The menu is so well thought out (Chef/Founder : Kinjal) , with balanced options that feel both comforting and exciting. It’s clear that a lot of heart and planning goes into every plate.
Not to mention the decor was amazing which takes you to Gujarat
Incredible food, great vibes, and the best company — the perfect Friday combo!

This was a pure veg restaurant and we really loved their thaali concept. I ordered their Kathiyawadi Thali and replaced the chapati with poori. It had kaju curry, potato curry, Gujarati kadi, dahi bhindi, beans curry, khichdi along with couple little papas pieces, salad and some sweet milk (not sure about that). Altogether it was delicious and I end up ordering poori 2 more times, lol because the poori size which we ordered later was really tiny and 2 pieces only.
We ordered aalu paratha for my kid which was really soft like North Indian style but my kid didn’t like the taste of it. And we also ordered Chole channa poori thaali which includes 4 poori, chana masala, little papad pieces, some salad. Chole was delicious. And last we ordered masala tea. It was served in kullad which I really liked it.

My first time because my mother liked it alot. Well, I went with her and we both were super disappointed. The ambiance is great when you walk in. But then you will sit down to sticky plastic table tops and dirty bathrooms with sticky floors. Mom used to rave about their chai in clay cups. We got curdled old chai from the morning (at 3pm) from the bottom of some warmer with powder masal floating with the curdled milk! They were served in paper cups worse than at the gas station and barely half filled! She also charged us for it even though it was spoiled. Do not get the nimbu pani bc there’s more chaat masala in it that lemon! The only thing that tasted decent was the mango lassi but I had to drink it out of a plastic water bottle! They dont serve aloo parotta anymore, which is prob not a bad thing bc it was dripping with grease last time. The dahi vada was half decent. Just very disappointed that they wouldn’t make fresh chai and they had nothing else warm to drink on a snowy day. Next time, we will go down the street to the other many Indian restaurants!

We drove 45 minutes from Dayton to experience some authentic vegan Indian dishes. We were not disappointed! The place is clean, cheerfully decorated, and full of beautiful copper tableware and serving pieces. This is not your typical northern Indian restaurant. The food is very fresh, delicious, and full of exotic flavors. We were thoughtfully guided through the menu to ensure we were ordering vegan-only dishes, which we greatly appreciated.

Writing a review after visiting multiple times. Amazing Thali and Gujarati dishes. Very much home cooked vibes. Very healthy and happy variations. Always been a fan for Gujarati cuisine and this has lived up to the expectations. Good ambience and transcends you back home. Must visit.

Best poori — tastes just like homemade! The chole bhature was excellent too.
The OG combo of Amurti Puri Thali with mango pulp was a perfect combination.
Great Ambience and Service
