Bindia Indian Bistro - Paneer Makhni - Indian cheese cubes in creamy tomato sauce - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We arrived a little bit ahead of our scheduled reservation and they were able to accommodate us. The restaurant is nicely laid out, good elbow room and a nice view of the St Lawrence Market area. Excellent naan and butter chicken. I was licking the sauce. Service was quick and the food arrived quickly as well. The potions were perfect. Its worth giving a try. read more

We really enjoyed the food here. Appropriately spiced and flavored. Good value for the meal.

We came here for lunch one day on our trip to Toronto. We ordered the lamb vindaloo and aaloo gobhi, as well as naan. The food was very good, however, it does not come with rice, which we had to order after the food came. Service was pretty good. Just the pricing, which perhaps is due to it's location also, is over-priced. I know the typical portion size for these dishes, and this is what I expect, however I wouldn't expect to pay 19 for a small bowl of vindaloo. read more

Bindia Indian Bistro - Lamb Vindaloo and Aaloo Gobhi - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Super delicious Indian food in Toronto. I was here many years ago, and the memorable meal I had then was matched by another memorable meal here tonight. Bindia is great for vegetarians, with lots of delicious options. Check it out! read more

I recently ordered take-out and when I got home my precious butter chicken was missing. So I called the resto and the lovely owner calmly just followed up about the mix-up, apologized for the mix-up and offered to deliver it to my place. Sooner than I had expected, I saw the owner herself show up at my door with the missed order and an order of rice pudding as a recompense. But what struck me is that not only was she extremely efficient but she was grace under fire. So I am close to having ordered everything in the menu and everything ranges from good to excellent, but the great customer service makes me always come back to this spot. Now that they deliver I am over the moon! read more

Remarkable Indian food for Toronto, especially this neighbourhood. The food was very fresh and I learned that they source their food from the St Lawrence Market across the street. The lamb Vindaloo was was delicious, but don't be shy about ordering your food spicy if you like it hot. Service was friendly and prompt. Give it a try! read more

They are trying to be very fancy with the bistro bit, but the food was uninspired and just ok. Authentic Indian food? Absolutely not. Upmarket, contemporary or experimental Indian food? Nope. Just basic decent food, with basic items on the menu for it to be called Indian food--the usual suspects like butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Absolutely nothing that I would pay this price for. I'd rather take my money and Indian food palette to 259 Host. This is a North Americanized version of Indian food, clean and neat place, everything tastes ok but not delicious. I think I'll forever associate the word "ok" with this place because that's what comes to mind about the decor, service and every dish we ordered--meat samosas, chicken tikka masala, stuffed naan etc. read more

Thank you Yelpers; we went here on your advise and were richly rewarded for our trust. This was to be our last night in Toronto and we wanted it to be special. Yes; goal achieved. We started out with the appetizer sampler. We had four separate items, two kinds if samosa, a pakora and a puff. Three of four were wonderful; we got a hot sauce and a tamarind. We then ordered butter chicken, shrimp korma and lamb vindaloo. All were well sliced, full flavored and the meat was tender. These are rich sauces. We asked for medium spicy and that Is what we got. We paired the entrees with rice and garlic naan, which were tender and garlicky. Everything was just right. We paired the appetizer with a Prosecco and the entrees with a Malbec. The Prosecco was just right, but the Malbec could have been a bit better. The prices were fair. We had good service. All in all, the evening exceeded expectations. We are happy we stopped in here; we will come again. You should as well. read more

I found the food to be really good, a welcome step up from most Indian restaurants in this city. I went on a weekday and on a weekend and the waitstaff were very helpful and pleasant. I had the Tandoori Platter, and all items were superb and freshly prepared, not half cooked then served up as reheated. The chicken briyani is one of the best I have ever tasted in the city. The Malai Kofta were very good, as well as the naan: light and fluffy not thick and chunky. My Favorite: The lamb Samosas! Perfectly spiced and not oily but light and flaky. No excess oil or greasiness to any of the food, and the portions are fairly good also. A great dining experience overall and next time Ill bring the family. :) read more

Found this restaurant on yelp and decided to give it a try! Food was fantastic. Not to spicy and fresh ingredients. My friend and I split everything so we ordered: -meat samosas as an app -tandoori platter -dal -garlic naan -basmati rice Over all it was great but the portion sizes could have been a bit bigger. Wine list is limited and pricy. Service was very attentive. The chef even came over and asked how everything was. I would definitely go back. read more

There's a new row of restaurants across from St Lawrence Market on Market St. All newly renovated, perfectly wide open with patios for a gorgeous summer day. It's quite attractive to go to as a local working in the area. Bit of a mistake - went for a lunch and the portion size was disappointing. $15 for a wrap with no salad is not what would be considered value. The waiter did ask what our thoughts were, and I expressed my dismay at the size of the wrap for the price. Most people like to see a little bit of food on their plate when served, and even a couple of strands of lettuce would have made it feel more appealing even if it really wasn't. Will have to say no to going back I'm afraid. Rather go to a closer Indian restaurant where $15 will get you all you can eat buffet. read more

This place was so good. Great food and really attentive service. I came here with a friend for dinner after a conference nearby. We had the bhuna lamb, bhindi masala and chicken tikka masala. it was all wonderful. Our server was very helpful with recommendations and very attentive. Then the chef came over mid-meal. And instead of it being a drive-by "how's everything," he spent some time with us asking specifically about each dish (What did you like? Would you change anything?) It was warm and inviting. This was a great place. Nice modern decor with clean lines and bright accents. I'm a fan. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Great little new addition to the neighborhood we had Chicken miki & Butter Chicken. It was divine we also shared some Vegetable samosas with a wonderful sauce and some nice cold Kingfisher beers ! Great spot wonderful menu outstanding service and will definitely return! read more

Perfect, service and food are both amazing! We ordered chicken tikka and kebab, they are both very tasty, the soup is great too read more

Tried this place for the first time last night and it was delightful! First of all the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing very modern but cozy at the same time. Large windows looking at the StLawrence Market - which was pretty with the snow. The service was also wonderful the serving staff was very attentive but not overbearing. The food was really good we ordered the garlic naan, basmati rice, chili chicken and butter chicken. The servings were plentiful and very flavorful. However, I like my food nice and spicy and when I ordered medium on the chilli chicken I was expecting a bit more of a kick so I will go with hot next time. read more

I only rarely give Indian restaurants a shot without a word of mouth recommendation from someone because there are just way too many novice owners who don't understand what it takes to be CONSISTENT in providing good quality food. Well I took a blind chance on Bindia because it was a cold soggy evening in Toronto and I did feel like walking to my usual places on Younge St and boy did I stroked GOLD! The owner is a consummate restauranteur, very affable young sikh who makes each guest feel special. The décor, the ambience, the service and above all, the delicious food makes this a must visit restaurants footer me on every trip to YYZ. read more

This place has great ambiance and friendly staff. I came in around 7pm on Saturday and I was lucky enough to beat the rush. When I had trouble deciding, the waiter suggested the lamb vindaloo since I like spicy food and it did not disappoint! The lamb was perfectly tender and I could taste all the layers in the curry. I ate it along with a basket of garlic naan which was hot, soft and buttery (I may have even ordered another basket...shhh) The piece de resistance was the kulfi. Kulfi at many places is full of ice crystals, but not here. Oh no this was creamy, cardomom-y bliss. It had a drizzle of rose syrup on the side which complemented it perfectly. I wish I didn't live on the other side of the continent from this place! If im ever back in Toronto, I will definitely come back! read more

Ordered through Foodora last night. The butter chicken was very tasty and had a rich sauce. The chicken pieces were tender white meat and had a nice tandoori char. The chicken tikka masala sauce had too much of a tomatoe-y flavour for me along with a ton of onions and veggies, but still had the same quality tandoori chicken pieces. The naan was delicious but a bit overpriced at $10 for 2 pieces. Overall, I would come here again for the butter chicken, but only if I was in the area. read more

We've been here twice so far. The Pakoras are fantastic. Some of the best I've had in the city. The Bhindi (Okra) is very good, as is the Dal Makhni. I was only slightly disappointed with the Baingan Bhartha (eggplant). It tasted like they used frozen peas that were added late in the cooking process. While this preserves their texture, they were still cold inside. They also lacked the flavour of fresh peas. Only a minor quibble though, the food was otherwise fantastic. The main reason for the 4-star rating was the service, which was exceptional. Our server both times really took care of us. The décor is nice and modern. read more

Date night was a Friday night. We had a wonderful time with friends listening to live entertainment. Not very hungry, we "snacked" on a vegetarian eggplant dish, garlic naan and some raita. WOW! It was gone in a flash. It was so delicious as soon as we tasted it we were ravenous! What can I say. We ordered medium heat which was perfect. Raita wasn't necessary. I might order it hot next time. Best date night at a reasonable price. Five stars!!! read more

A-OK pretty much sums up our experience at Bindia. Post Christmas Market, cold and hungry, we stumbled into Bindia after a few other restaurants on the strip rejected us because of lack of reservations. The hostess hemmed and hawed about letting us in, but eventually after a bit of a wait we did get a table - strangely enough it was the table that was empty pretty much since we got there.... The food at Bindia is decent! They have a large (but not overwhelming) menu, and while the prices are a bit higher than I'd like (I'm used to Brampton / suburban Indian pricing), overall I did enjoy my meal. Four of us split three mains (the palak paneer was great!), some garlic naan, and a few apps including their shrimp (which was quite good!). Here's an interesting fact I learned at Bindia - most Indian food is gluten free! So if you're stuck trying to figure out where to bring a GF friend, you'll have plenty of options at Bindia. They were very informed about what was GF which was very convenient! We did get rushed out at the end of our dining experience, we lingered a bit too long and were asked to leave the table. While annoying, it was fair enough and they did offer us coupons for our next visit. Will that visit ever happen? I'm not convinced. read more

Very nice upscale Indian food. Though they can't seem to make our spicy, but they offer peppers oh the side that are hot. The vegetable pakoras are a must appetizers and the paneer Tikka Masala extra spicy is the bomb. read more

The server was really friendly and attentive. Try the bhuna lamb. Its delicious! The decor is warm and welcoming. read more

Food was amazing. Ordered Malai Kofta with Naan, girlfriend ordered Chicken Tikka. Both were delicious. The atmosphere and layout of the restaurant were both beautiful as well. Only complaint would be the Chai wasn't that great, but that wasn't too big of a deal once the food came out. All in all, will definitely visit again next time we're in Toronto. read more

Bindia Indian Bistro - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Bindia would be an all-around lovely authentic Indian restaurant if it had been priced more appropriately. It is not overly expensive, but just outside the sweetspot that made me feel a bit ripped off. We came in on a Sunday afternoon around 5-6pm, was seated right away on the nice sunny patio, but had to wait for a tad bit for the food to finally arrive. We ordered lamb briyana and daal (lentil), with garlic naan on the side. Both came in 7 on the spicy scale - and god I must say, the food hit the spot - it was spicy to the front of the tongue and back! I loved it, even though I had to endure that "hot" thrill for 20-30 min. All in all, food is a 4, ambience is a 4, but unfortunately it was just expensive enough that everything had to be downrated a bit to a 3. read more

Originally found this place through Yelp, and decided to try it out while on a visit to the area. It was a quiet night for dinner, so we were seated in a nearly empty restaurant. It's a bit of a shame, since the food was delicious! Over the course of our dinner, multiple people came in for takeout. At the end of our meal, our server asked for feedback and we expressed how surprised we were that it wasn't more busy. I had the butter chicken, and my partner had the mint tikka. We ordered a side of rice and fresh naan to go with our meals. I had a glass of house wine ($8.50) which was refreshing to cool down the spices. Our dishes were well portioned and seasoned. I would certainly suggest ordering rice and naan to dip the delicious sauces. My partner's chicken was seasoned particularly well. The service was attentive but not at that annoying level where we were constantly interrupted. The waiter would quietly come and check up on us, and we appreciated that. Definitely a nice spot for a casual dinner! read more

Excellent food and ambience. The service was extremely courteous and the food options were absolutely fantastic. Loved the portion size as well as the quality of the food. Excellent spot to dine on quality Indian food if you find yourself in downtown Toronto. read more

Ate here on a recent girls trip to Toronto! Amazing food, wine and service! Can't wait to come back!

The place is modern but I find the restaurant design a bit "off". It is just a personal thing but I look for the whole dining experience including the eating environment, ambiance, service and so on. We were greeted warmly. The server was friendly and provided good food recommendations. Food was good but the servings were very small. A kid (I think he's the owner's son) was roaming around trying to talk to his mom which I found a bit unprofessional, and dangerous too. Overall the experience was so-so and I am not sure if I will return. read more

We went to this place 3 times now, the first we dine in and ordered a lot amount of food because we wanted to try everything and other two evening we order take out because we live just across the street and wanted something quick for dinner (lentil soup for cold winter evenings) after work. The decor is really nice and the staff is friendly and helpful, our waiter -sorry I don't remember the name- helped us going through the menu and adviced us on which meal we could like based on our conversation. The portion are just about the right size for each person but you can split a bit of it with your other loved one just for a quick "try bite"! The food is Indian but not Indian from little India kinda of meal is more westernized Indian so there are no problems if you think you might not like some of their dishes or ingredients, everything they serve is pretty much tasty and you won't find weird tastes here so even the most sophisticated person can go blind here and I'm probably sure you won't find anything that you won't like. The price is about right too, and to be in this area is certainly not bad, since it's the best area in downtown and everything it's so pretty around here. I encourage you to try it, it does not disappoint. read more

Visited with my parents recently and ordered 3 dishes. Mint Tikka Chicken, Bhindi Masala and Dal Makni. We also tried the Gajerla and Kulfi for desert. Mom said the Tikka was good but not phenomenal and my father and I felt the same way about the dishes we ordered. The food is flavorful but I can't agree with other yelp reviews proclaiming this to be one of the best Indian restaurants in the city. Our meal came to $100 before tip and no alcohol was ordered. Pretty steep. The food was good, but not spectacular or amazing. There are restaurants in the city that are so good that you don't care what the prices are because the food is soo tasty. This place isn't there yet. If the price point was more reasonable I'd give it 4 stars but I'll still visit again someday. read more

Went here on a Saturday evening between shows with a group of 7. The service and food were great. The mushroom tikka masala special was really good. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. The ambience is also very nice. Good cocktail and decent wine selection. If in the area, I would definitely eat here again. read more

There's not one element of this place that does not deliver, in fact over deliver. Magnificent atmosphere, stellar service, and genuine food that is made with love. The chef came out to double check everything, no VIP status required. read more

We ordered about 6 dishes for delivery last night through Just Eats. It came up to an astonishing amount of money, " which I thought well I'm sure the portions will be generous..". I was so wrong! We barely had enough food to fill us up. The quality was ok, and it arrived on time but I find It very hard to justify the price given how small the portions are. read more

I went into Bindia as a substitute for next door's Market Catch being closed. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in the door: While being immediately greeted by the host, I noticed the restaurant had very modern decor with fine lines (a favorite style of mine). Since I wasn't starving, I decided to order only a main. I opted for the butter chicken (medium spicy) and a side of basmati rice. As I'm from the US, it is strange to me to have to pay an additional charge for rice. Regardless, my food came out promptly, hot and fresh. Normally, there are 3-4 chunks of meat in standard Indian dishes, but my butter chicken was overflowing. The chicken was cooked perfectly while the sauce was rich but not overwhelming. The only "complaint" (if there could be one) was that medium spicy was underpowered. Perhaps the Canadian spiciness scale is lower than the US's, but next time I'm going to order my dish spicier. Overall, I give Bindia 4.5 stars (unfortunately, Yelp only allows for 4). The decor, service, and food quality were all very good. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in the mood for Indian food - it's a great value for your money. read more

As an Indian food know-it-all, my test for Indian restaurants typically involves two visits or orders. Bindia is the only one that has consistently served me amazing food three deliveries in a row. My secret test where Indian food goes is to order the kofta. Its a mild curry but its really easy to screw up the flavours - as all Indian restaurants have done each time I've ordered it. Bindia has delivered amazing kofta dishes two times in a row - combined with their pulao, it was just a ridiculous combo. Their lamb seekh kabab is juicy and flavourful too. The only very small let-down was their nan which was thick/pasty in some parts, thin in others. This restaurant is only Indian restaurant downtown that I think I will keep visiting. Excellent food. Go! read more

I don't normally post reviews but this is easily the best curry I've had in years. As a Brit I've had quite a few over the years but now live in the States and have been frequently disappointed with the restaurants we've tried. This is the first great experience I've had in North America, I almost wept tears of joy! read more
