Unless you are willing to wait for more than one hour for your appetizer dish to arrive, I recommend you give your business elsewhere. Service was poor and extremely slow. Portion sizes for Indian food here are pathetic. Butter chicken was more like sweetened chicken and the chicken meat pieces were paltry for the price charged. The dessert for two peoples servings was even more pathetic. Sorry we wasted our evening dining here and the food was a great disappointment. Will not come again nor recommend others to come here. read more

Food is average, service is horrible. We didn't have a dedicated serverand no one came to check on us after we received our food. WORST part - there was a huge piece of plastic in my paneer tikka masala. When I notified the staff, they were hardly apologetic AND had the audacity to charge me for the dish. After I complained, they removed the charge for the dish again without much of an apology. Needless to say we won't be going back. read more

GONNA PUT A TL;DR HERE: 1/5 - amazing food - off the chains amazing, but service is absolute garbage. Avoid. Been here a couple times and every time I have hope that it'll be better. Please refer to previous review. Yesterday was my absolute last time coming here because of how trash the service is. Sure, your restaurant is nice and it's a perfect location on main street unionville. BUT LEARN MANNERS??? I believe they were understaffed and the hostess was the owner's wife because she was taking orders and running around too. She also wasn't in any uniform so I didn't even know she worked there to begin with. We had our meal and then we had to ask for the bill 3 times and after saying 'seperate bills', she asked "is that two? Or one?" ..UMM?? Then she asks how to seperate it.. when there are only two items on the menu.. ?? Huh?? When my receipt came out of the card machine, I ripped the cardholder copy off as I normally do when the waitress decides to ditch the table mid-transaction. However this time, the top of the machine came loose and the roll of receipt paper fell out. She rushed back and said sternly "WHY DID YOU DO THAT????" and glares at us and pretty much yells (or says in a voice definitely louder than your indoor voice) "Do you know you're not supposed to open this?? Now I lose my copy" before slamming down the machine and my copy on the table. Yes, slamming. She thought I opened the machine for fun and kept glaring the entire time as my friend paid for his meal. A. When these kinds of situation happen, are you not supposed to be nicer about it to the customer & say something like "next time, please refrain from asjdskdjhfkshbfalsjdlasd.." B. Pretty sure you can go to functions and print out another receipt. Prettttty sure ambiyan isn't from the 1960's and doesn't have the option to reprint. After my friend paid, she grabbed the machine and didn't say a word before turning on her heel and stomping away. Not a thank you, not anything .. kinda wanna take my tip back? So not going anymore and unless you want SHIT service, I advise you to spend your money elsewhere. read more

I would love to give this place a full 5 star if they could have chosen more comfortable and better designed high-chairs for shorter persons. I am 5'4" but I had both my feet landed on nothing the whole time during my meal. My legs were numb when I left my seat. I love those high-tables and high-chairs setting at the covered balcony level next to the patio. However, I wish I were at least 2 inches taller lol. Alright, other than the high-chairs, everything was perfect for me. The service was very friendly and attentive since we entered the restaurant. I enjoyed my Mojito. We ordered food to share. We had Chicken Samosas to start with (it tasted good but the pastry was a bit too dry), Garlic Naan (yum...), Beef Biryani and Lime Lamb (heavy but yummy). There were basically too much food for two persons. We ended up packed home half of the beef biryani and lime lamb. The restaurant is located just opposite to the Square on Unionville Main Street. Their patio is certainly a nice spot to have some food and drinks while enjoying a festival performance at the Square, if any. read more

A recent adventure to Unionville Main street had my taste buds singh-ing. The evening was beautiful everything was perfect, not too hot, not too cold, an off high traffic night to visit Main street and a great friend from out of town to enjoy some of the best reviewed Indian food on the east side of the GTA. Ambiyan. Given the wonderful evening temperature we decided to have a seat on the patio which at dusk in the summer is absolutely lovely - it overlooks the busy walking streets of Main street and being in the relatively quiet village of Unionville you quickly forget that you're about to dine at an Indian restaurant because of the cottage-y feel of this building and its patio. Pure Relaxation! Immediately upon being seated our server brought over glasses of water and complimentary shot glasses of freshly made Mango Lassi's! Talk about adding in the little extras, it was thick, fresh and refreshing, a perfect way to start a meal. Yumm-o! They had a great selection of beers on taps however on this night pints of steam whistle beer were the drink of choice for my companion and I. Our waiter was a magnificent help and made strong recommendations for our meal, the best of which was suggesting that we go for the garlic Naan over the regular - well played sir.. well played (WAY BETTER). We decided to have 2 mains to share between myself and my yelptastic companion, here is what we ordered: 1) Lamb Vindaloo - beautifully made and taste with just enough heat to make us sweat but not quite enough to make it painful. 2) Prawn Curry - buttery, a flavour that filled my mouth, there was so much delicious sauce that I wished I had 2 or three other pieces of Naan to go with it to mop all this amazingness up This place was all about the little details - you know the extra touches. The most noticeable of them aside from the free mango lassi was the unique was the basmati rice was presented. In a tiny metal bucket with a lovely and decorative scoop. Awesome all around! Rice came in a cool little bucket of to serve your self.... very cool read more

Short version of the review - food is good but value is missing. $25 for shrimp in curry sauce is a bit overly priced if you ask me. The shrimps were fairly large and you get about 5-6 pieces of shrimp included. Sold separately is the garlic naan at $4. The flavor of the curry was decent but lacked in flavor in comparison to the butter chicken. The curry was not spicy at all which I thought was a big miss especially when dinning at an Indian restaurant. There should at least be an option if you want to add some hot sauce. The butter chicken was part of the lunch special and for $18 you also get one vegetable samosa and the plain naan was included. Flavors were good overall but I keep comparing to other places I have had Indian food. Bombay Bhel definitely better flavor overall and although the garlic naan was good it doesn't compare to the one I had at The Bombay Grill and for half the price too. I know Ambiyan is a higher class restaurant and it shows with the service but its not worth the money when I can easily get the same quality food for half the price at other Indian restaurants. read more

Not bad. Decent service and decent food. This used to be a steak chop house over several years ago. Now it's half Indian cuisine and half traditional bar food. Great taste with their SouthAsian dishes. read more

Ambiyan - Interior of restaurant. - Indian Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

I love Indian food but usually don't get the chance to eat it often because it's not my fam's typical meal. So if I ever get to eat out with friends and get Indian food, I get excited. Going to Ambiyan was a really nice experience. Even though we weren't able to get outoor seating on the patio because they were super busy and there was live music on the bandstand, their interior was decent - not as nice as outdoor seating on a nice cool summer evening, but at least we were nice and fresh away from outdoor heat. Ambiyan has a Prix Fixe Menu (if you don't want to order a la carte) that comes in either vegetarian or non-vegetarian options. Vegetarian Prix Fixe Menu ($21): Appetizer - choice of Spinach Pakora or Aloo Tikki Main: Choice of one Veg main course from their veg section of the menu Side: basmati rice or freshly baked naan (you can have it buttered or plain) Non-vegetarian Prix Fixe Menu ($26): App - chicken samosa or chicken pakora Main - choice of one main from either the poultry or meat section Side - basmati rice or freshly baked naan My friend got the non-veg prix fixe and ordered... Chicken pakora - chickpea battered and deep fried chicken breast served with tamarind chutney. This was my fave app out of the two we ordered. The crunch from being deep-fried alongside the juiciness and dense texture of chicken breast was perfect. The tamarind chutney was a nice more sweet than sour accompaniment. Dhaba chicken curry - traditional spicy street food chicken curry from Northern India. She liked it a lot. Not heavy and won't leave you feeling greasy or bloated. Great flavours. Side of basmati rice - delish. She was given a good portion. There was a lot to eat - she had to take some of it home. I got the veg prix fixe menu and got... Spinach pakora - seasoned baby spinach pucks lightly battered and deep fried. These were yummy and soft and slightly crispy. I do prefer the chicken pakora though but this is a good vegetarian option. Navartan Korma - a mix of seasonal vegs in a cashew cream sauce with pineapple, mushrooms, paneer, and cashews. I really really liked this dish. Packed full of yummy veggies in a creamy warm sauce... it was delicious. As a side, I ordered naan (buttered) and it's got to be one of the best-tasting naans that I've had. I would definitely go here again and do recommend it to anyone looking for good Indian cuisine. The prices are higher than what you would expect from a smaller store-front that caters more to the takeout style and sharing food style. The dishes here are intended per person but don't let that stop you from sharing the flavourful bites with your friends and family. I really like how the prix fixe menu is set up - it's a great way for first-timers to sample their menu. And don't worry if you might not understand some of the culinary terms on the menu (like naan, roti, paneer, etc.) - there are definitions listed throughout the menu as a guide. read more

4.5 - I've never thought I'd find such an authentic yet classy and modern Indian restaurant in upper Markham, especially in Unionville. The service was perfect and quick, our server was so attentive and the food came quickly and fresh, despite it being one hour before closing. The atmosphere is spacious with a beautiful patio, open doors which really brought in the summer night breeze. We ordered the chicken pakoras and it was amazing. They came with mini chips and a zesty/tart sauce. The chunky chicken pieces were deep fried but not oily at all. There was no grounded meat and with the sauce, it left me feeling full but not greasy. The lamb biryani was seasoned a bit on the lighter side, but we had it with butter chicken so it was perfect. The lamb pieces were huge and well cooked they came apart in your mouth. The additional peppers, cucumber, and lemon slice helped lighten our dish. The portion is a regular size, I think great for 1-2 people depending on how much you eat. The best would have to be the butter chicken. It came in a silver dish with yoghurt sauce on the side. The butter chicken was tender, meaty, and light compared to the sauce. The sauce was very zesty, you could taste the tomato immediately, it wasn't buttery or overly salty - the tomato was truly a great touch. The yoghurt sauce had a mixture of diced tomatoes, pomegranate (which was surprisingly pleasant addition), and herbs. It mixed well with the butter chicken and helped keep the dish from being overwhelming heavy. I would definitely come back here when I'm craving butter chicken in the future! read more

Was the Main St. Unionville and wanted to grab something to eat. Three of us ventured in for lunch. My friend ordered a Chicken Naan Indian Style Panzerotti. She enjoyed it. My hubby ordered the set lunch menu for $25, you can an app & main. He ordered Chicken Paroka and Chicken Korma, came with Naan and a Yogurt Pomegranate Sauce. I tried a bit of his and it ok. The naan bread was really fresh and soft! I also ordered the the set lunch menu for $20 (vegetarian menu). My app was Potato As miss. It was 1 huge samosa with 2 sauces on the plate. It was also ok. My main was Paneer Biryani, it was delicious! They sprinkled a lot of fried onions on top, it added an extra texture to the rice. Flavour was full and portion was quite big. Overall I enjoyed my own Biryani the most. :) read more

Start your evening off right with a mango shot at Ambiyan. Add in a lovely summer evening and the patio, delicious food, an equally interesting dinner mate and you're all set! We ordered the coconut prawn curry and lamb vindaloo with sides of garlic naan and rice. The prawns were just as prawns should be... a decent mouthful. And the curry... smooth and coconutty. Go figure! The lamb vindaloo, now that was my favourite - mostly because lamb anything is my favourite. It was a bit spicy, but my spice tolerance is incredibly low. Mix that up with a bit of rice, scoop it all with a piece of that naan bread... mmmm, I'm drooling at the memory! Expect to spend a wee bit more, this ain't no cheap Indian buffet. But the "ambiyan-ce" coupled well well cooked food and service to match the higher-endishness of this resto make this a solid 4 stars in my books. read more

Ambiyan - Coconut prawn curry - Indian Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

A unique taste of Indian food on mainstreet Unionville! Do make reservations as they were barely able to squeeze our group of four in during dinner on a Saturday. I was happy with the variety of flavours that was in the chicken pakora; paired with a subtle chutney that was good on its own as well. The butter chicken was full of big cubes of chicken, with a smooth curry on top that paired well with the naan and rice. The curry lamb was slightly tough but the flavour was great. While the prices are slightly on the higher end for slightly smaller portions, the food was truly amazing; flavourful, well prepared, and good! read more

Absolutely dreadful! I ordered Lamb rogan josh today and was delivered beef. This is the 2nd time this has happened. The last time it happened, the restaurant apologized and re-cooked and delivered lamb instead of beef. Beef Rogan Josh is NOT on their menu and they are substituting lamb with beef. This is absolutely appalling. Shame on them. read more

Stumbled upon this charming place while walking in the area. I had the best butter chicken ever at this restaurant. Excellent berry cider as well. However, the size and taste of the lamb kebab left much to be desired. read more

If i had to rate them based solely on dining in, i would give them 4.5 stars. Food is always fresh, warm, good sized portions and the service has always been consistent and good. Delivery (Skip the Dishes etc.) on the other hand: 2 stars! Many items were wrong, all the curries were watered down with barely any meat of chicken, some items were even missing. I felt like i had ordered from a completely different restaurant than the one i had been frequenting for over 8 years. Note to self: no more delivery from Ambiyan! read more

Wonderful service and great food! We were welcomed with smile as soon as we walked in and our server was friendly and professional. Deco is nice, sittings are comfortable. We ordered non veg and veg prix fixe menu : Appetizer + Dhaba Traditional Curry with Chicken, Muttar Paneer + rice and naan. Food: Good and authentic Service: Excellent Price: Reasonable Highly recommended! read more

It was our first time here. The ambience is good and the location is great. The quality and quantity of the food was pretty good. The service was not bad as well. We couldn't give five star because there was a hair in one of our curry. We understand that this happens once in a while... The waiter took the dish back and replaced it. We ordered a naan later and he said it's complimentary which is not bad. Some restaurants don't even apologize! read more

Good food decent table service. They never seem to remember their customers. Tricky to call hit and miss.

I live in Toronto but was in Markham twice recently and both times dined in at Ambiyan on Main Street. Their patio was quite lovely and they had these really efficient heaters there so we were cosy and comfortable despite being outdoors and it being brisk fall weather. They have a rather extensive and enticing menu so it was hard to narrow down our choices. The staff is exceptional and very accommodating. The food was to die for! You can tell their chef is an expert The quality of ingredients is wonderful and the flavours are so well-balanced. By far, one of the best Indian restaurant experiences I've ever had. Will definitely be frequenting their sister branch at Yonge and St, Clair. read more

Came on July 3rd around 2pm. Service was horrible and all the waiters were super rude. I said "umm" to a question they asked and they responded with "decide quickly so we can serve the next customer" Their food and drinks are on the expensive side. Happy hour is a joke. Their happy hour beers are a Molson Canadian and Coors light that are 50 cents off the regular price. Might as well go somewhere else on main street for drinks instead. Service was slower than any we have experienced lately. We were sitting and waiting for almost an hour without any drinks or appetizers. The only good thing here was they had a patio and the weather was good that day. Otherwise, I would have walked out after the first half an hour of sitting with water. read more

5/5 Location: Main Street Unionville - great location, parking available behind the restaurant or down the street Menu: Lots of great options for Indian food, and also a menu for Western food, so something for everyone. I tried the lunch prix fixe menu where I chose the vegetarian samosa, butter chicken (freaking delicious!), and buttered naan (next time I'll opt for plain). The food was so flavourful and delicious. Portion sizes were as expected. Price: A bit on the pricier side, but worth it. Service: Amazing service - very attentive, not very long of a wait, and great recommendations on the menu items. read more

Yeah so for some reason we had a horrible experience here and spontaneously decided to try this place again because the patio looked poppin while driving by. Ordered a bunch of stuff like beef curry, samosas, kebab, fake tandoori chicken , lamb racks, biriyani. Nothing was authentic, im almost 100% sure they dont have a real tandoor oven, the chicken and kebab had no flavour. The samosa was supposed to be chicken but it was mixed with so much potato you would never know. I got a pretty strong stomach but i had to vomit after i came home, and this is the second time after eating here this happened. They have really good service though if you wAnt to hang out on the patio and have a drink, and if you want to test your immune system try the food! read more

The location of this place makes it awesome. At the historic Unionville, you can sit out in the patio and enjoy the view. It's very relaxing. The food is expensive but made very well.

It was a busy time went we went to try Ambiyan. There was a Downtown Unionville festival happening on the weekend. We were seated on the patio. To start we ordered a unique house specialty brie filled pakora - that was fantastic with the accompanying tamarind sauce, ooey gooey goodness. :) Also had Butter chicken - very fresh pieces of chicken breast but could use a hint more spice. Rice - served is a nice vase container. Naan - excellent wouldn't change a thing Aloo Gobi - excellent wouldn't change a thing I've eaten at my fair share of indian restaurants and I'd say Ambiyan is a pretty solid choice. The quality of ingredients, presentation, freshness and taste all rank high. read more

Rating is based on 3 and higher = I will go back, under 3 = I won't. So that's my premise for rating this restaurant as a 2. PS. It was a Friday night dinner with my gf. First and for most, I found the service to be kinda lacking which is weird after seeing all the good reviews. We requested a booth seat and was denied. Only to have another couple within 10 mins be seated at a booth. Hmm... As well, during dinner never once did they check in with us to see how things were going. However, I did see the GM/owner check in with almost every table but ours. Weird right? As well, we found the server to almost treat every table better than ours. How do we know, we had tables of 2 surrounding us. Maybe seeing a young chinese couple = bad tip? Too bad for them, I'm not of this stereotype... but too late. Looks like they made that decision based on appearance right away. We got the veggy samosas which was okay, not bad. But at $7 for 2, it's gotta at be okay or else it's a rip off. For our mains we ordered the butter chicken and lamb vindaloo. The butter chicken was a pretty big disappointment for me. It was dry and there weren't a lot of chicken pieces. Paying $17 and I count 7 pieces?? that's not good considering not all pieces were even big ones. The sauces were alright but nothing special. The Lamb Vindaloo was good and spicer than other places I've been. But it was definitely the winner out of the two dishes. We got naan and basmati pilaf. The naan was standard but the rice was done pretty well. So overall, why the 2? The dishes with tax came to 57.07. For me, it just wasn't worth it. I'm willing to pay for good indian and after all the good reviews, we thought Ambiyan would be a good choice. It wasn't. And for this price, there's just too many options. Even for uptown, I would much rather go to Bombay Bhel at hwy 7. Or if you're downtown, the options are plentiful. Host over at the Annex. Unfortunately from what I saw and experienced, Ambiyan, I won't be back. PS.. service matters, sucks maybe we came during an off night? read more

This is the best indian restaurant i've been to. And I've frequented very many indian places but the service, atmosphere, location and food puts this one at the very top. The staff is NICE and makes good recommendations, there on top of everything, including filling up your water glass cause the food can get spicy. I've had pretty much everything on the menu and apart from a few things, I liked it all. All the chicken dishes are yum (chicken korma, and tikka masala) and im not a huge fan of beef but they have some good ones. All the apps are absolutely delicious. I recommend this place wholeheartedly. read more

Takeaway has never been so complicated. Alas. On a cold near-winter's night I rang up Ambiyan, having heard good things about it. The very-youthful-sounding girl on the line wasn't sure about the things I was ordering, and I had to repeat each item. Her voice wasn't confident she knew the menu. Oh dear. Equally disappointing, the lass didn't have a price ready once I'd placed my order; upon asking, she went to check & *poof* I was inadvertently hung up on. Thank goodness I'd provided my number -she did ring me back, let me know the price, and confirm the order. Twenty minutes later, I went in to Ambiyan to pick up my food. My order was smartly packed in a flat-bottomed paper bag with a handle. The food was in sturdy, reuseable, biodegradeable containers. Very posh, very practical. Alas, it wasn't so easy to just pay and walk off with my nice bag full of heavenly-scented Indian goodies. A server -the same I assumed who asnwered the phone -didn't note I was paying with interac (despite my confirming over the phone that they took it & telling her when I handed over the card) -and she kept returning to me saying, "It's expired." Ummm. Try again. Soon it was discovered their interac line was down (?!). It took a full 20 minutes to resolve. During this time I was not offered anything, nor was any apology given. It was a bustling Friday night, true, but surely servers at a professional establishment should be able to handle the traffic volume? I counted at least four servers, plus the bartender, on that night. And the restaurant wasn't full. This makes me wonder if Ambiyan's staff isn't quite as experienced as they need to be. The bartender thankfully got the wireless technology in order, but not before saying "It's been doing this all day." Really? They why leave it to fix on a busy Friday night? It was kind of shocking, and reflects badly, I think, on the restaurant. That's a shame. Their food is quite good. When I finally did get to the contents of my nice posh bag, everything was near-cold, of course. But after a quick heat-up, it was the perfect thing to fend off the late-November chills. Dhal Makhani was rich, gingery, and had a nice texture with creamy lentils and veg. Saag Paneer, one of my all-time favorite food dishes, was considerably more runny (and spicy!) than I'm used to it being, but it had a good spicy-spinach taste and generous chunks of tender paneer. Eggplant Bharta was chalk-full of veggie chunks and had a nice ginger-garlic zing to it. Kudos to the kitchen for very nice (if safe) spicing. The naan seemed rushed -it was not fully cooked but puffed up very nicely with five minutes or so in the oven on high. Ambiyan's food is good, not great for the price, but solid, and certainly a nice introduction for those not used to eating Indian. I would caution Ambiyan to those who a/ use interac; and b/ phone their orders in; c/ have a really low tolerance for incompetent service. A bit of training, a bit more professionalism, perhaps a slightly more experienced (and educated) wait staff... and a less timid hand in the kitchen would all work in Ambiyan's favor. read more

Ambiyan - Indian Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

Markham had been sorely lacking quality Indian food for a while. No more! Ambiyan has all of your Indian favourites, from Chana Masala and Aloo Gobi to Dal Makhani and Saag Paneer (can you tell I'm vegatarian?). Those who have gone with me have also raved about some of the more carnivorous dishes. Atmosphere is great, but depends on what you are looking for. Inside is quiet dining, while in the summers the patio is great to people gaze and catch up with friends. The only caveat I will add is that it is close to a 4-way stop so there's some street noise, but if you are that uptight you have other problems. read more

I love coming here during warm nights with friends or family. I love Indian food, like love it. Here, I won't say the food is the best ever, but it's a good 7/10. The flavours are good. The Brie pakoras itself have me going back. Big tip: if you like it spicy tell them- it had no heat whatsoever - none! Pros: location, live music if you're lucky, location, flavourful food Cons Price- it's steepish for Indian food and the quantity --- but it's an Indian restaurant catered for non- Indians so I guess the usual family style of splitting dishes that I would do at your typical Indian restaurant doesn't happen here. It's more a curry per person Don't forget to stop by for ice cream Or sweet treats in the area at old firehall! read more

This place is an Indian restaurant and pub all in one. First of all, the location across from the bandstand on Main Street Unionville is fantastic, and the patio and large windows really take advantage of this. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is pretty cozy as well -- lots of wood and stone. For a restaurant that seems to be emphasizing its pub aspects these days -- there is a sign that says "...and neighbourhood pub" or something similar -- there isn't a huge beer list, but what's on tap is certainly respectable. They also give you shot glasses with mango lassi when you arrive. They really prepare it well -- my wife ended up getting a full glass of it and really liked it. For an app, we had the "vegateable trio," which is spinach pakora, potato tikki and onion bhaji. All three were great and were accompanied by different sauces. Lots of spice and flavour! For the main, I had the chicken vindaloo, and it was well prepared with lots of flavour and heat. The basmati rice and garlic naan were also great and complemented the meal well. This isn't really the most authentic Indian food, but I don't think that really matters. The menu seems really well thought out and a lot of care seems to have gone into the smaller details. For example, my wife's main had a few maraschino cherries in it, which was a nice surprise that somehow worked with her meal. The service is excellent and helpful, and this seems like a very well run establishment. Like all restaurants on Main Street Unionville, you're paying a bit of a premium for the location. If you just want straight-up Indian food, you can find it for a cheaper price at any number of plazas, but you won't get atmosphere like this. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience here. Probably the best north Indian food that I have ever had. Food was delicious and the presentation was inviting. We got a few dishes from vegetable biriyani, navaratan kurma and butter chicken. My friends loved the butter chicken and I savored every bite of my vegetarian food. I was delighted by the raita that was served for us to share. It was decorated with pomegranate seeds and was delicious. We stayed almost past restaurant closing hour and they did not come disturb us or ask us to leave. Service was wonderful and the whole place was very cozy. I would love to come back here some time. read more

A unique restaurant when considering this is an Indian restaurant. The owner is Punjabis and the food authentic. What makes this restaurant differ is the ambiance. It's located in a heritage type home on Main Street in Unionville and the inside is a modern feel and quite high end. Further, it has a full bar area, uncommon for an Indian restaurant. I even ordered one of my favourite beers on draft, Mill Street Tankhouse. read more

I have been going to Ambiyan for about 5 years now after trying out a bunch of Indian restaurants in Unionville & Markham. Service is really good, food is excellent. It's the only place we go to for Indian now. I have taken so many friends & colleagues and they love the food! Once you are seated they bring you a refreshing mango & yogurt drink (complimentary). Some fav items: Butter chicken, Chana masala, Chicken korma & Beef tenderloin masala - they're fresh made naan is out of this world! Love that they have a patio and they are in the heart of main street Unionville! read more
