Indian cooking and serving?

I am looking for an Indian restaurant which serves food in a traditional manner with a thali and
little dishes for different foods.

I may not be explaining myself well. In my experience, Indian food at Indian restaurants is served in a western manner.

Any help with this?
I live in Cambridge and am baffled.

    Does the new Dosa place in Somerville serve a thali lunch? I thought I saw it on the menu...

      India Castle on Mass Ave just west of Central Sq does thali as well, veg or non-veg

        most of the Nepali restaurants in the area serve a thali-like item, "daal bhaat" (literally, "lentil + rice") which comes with two or three other little dishes of things.

          Namaskar serves their "Special Dinners" in this manner.

            I usually order thali, and I I have found a few Indian restaurants that serve thali. Punjab Palace in Brighton, The Gourmet Curry House in Brookline are the ones I frequent. There was/is an Indian restaurant in Union Sq Somerville that had thali. I haven't been there since I moved away from there, but you could check it out.
