Butter chicken had no flavour but a lot of grease. Spice treatment was very poor -- roast the spices, add them in to onions... Meat was not tender and not free range, antibiotic free or organic. No thanks. read more

This Indian Restaurant in Toronto has an award winning butter chicken and my boyfriend and I paid them a visit for their Winterlicious deal. $27pp for Lunch and $35pp for dinner, which comes with an app, main and dessert. This day we came for their lunch. We started off our meal with some complimentary fried snacks. For our apps, we got the classic veggie samosa which was filled to the brim. We also got the chicken pakoras which had a nice crispy texture with a bit of spice. For our mains we got the famous Butter Chicken, which was rich and delicious. We also got the chicken tikka masala, another classic, which came in a more heavily spiced gravy. I enjoyed that you got to choose how spicy the dishes were. Both dishes came served with a generous portion of rice and butter naan. To top it off, we left room for desserts, where we tried the mango rasmalai (sweet cheese dumplings in a mango cream), and the warm gulab jamun which was paired with a cold vanilla ice cream for a great contrast. Overall I thought the value for the meal was great, as you get a ton of food for $27 per person. We ended up having a lot of leftovers. read more

The butter chicken sauce is phenomenal, probably the best in the city. The breads were on the drier side. Everything was very good though and we'd definitely order again. The Hakka noodles are also a lovely addition and full of flavour. read more

Great environment as well, not too loud and great spacing for a restaurant in Toronto. read more

This restaurant was the perfect place for a casual/nicer dinner. It's a neighborhood spot, but the interior looks great and has a cozy feel. Every dish was better than the next. You must get the famous butter chicken. The chicken pakora appetizer was yummy. We also enjoyed an eggplant dish and sag with chicken. Skip the tikka masala. Our waiter did say we needed one rice per person but one rice was more than enough for four, so start with one (especially if you are going to try the delicious garlic naan). read more

Butter Chicken Factory - Chicken sag - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Place was decently full for a weekday night, butter chicken factory has been on my go-to list for a while after hearing so many recos. Interior was cute and elegant, unexpected given the name "Factory." Liked how the food delivery and takeout pickups were separated from the dining area with an outside window. We got the dinner for two: an app, two curries, Chana masala, rice, and two breads (we upgraded to garlic naan). For the app, we had the chicken pakora, and for curries, we stuck with the classics: original smoked butter chicken and signature tikka masala. The chicken pakora was YUMMY (but I love anything pakora, so no surprise there). The curries were the real highlight--sooo good. The butter chicken was my favorite, hitting all the right spots. The chicken tikka masala had a strong green pepper flavor, which wasn't totally my thing, but it was still delicious. For drinks, we tried the Panjim Pineapple Sour and Chor Bizzare. The pineapple sour was my fave with a strong, non-artificial pineapple flavor, while the Chor Bizzare was a great choice if you're into spicy or tamarind margaritas. For dessert, we had the mango rasmalai, and absolutely devoured it. The presentation was cool with dry ice (third time I've seen that with rasmalai though LOL), but the taste was top-notch. Service was okay, though a bit slow at times. Side note, table for two did not fit dinner for two spread had to get another table pushed in lol Overall, Butter Chicken Factory was a lovely spot for a casual dinner. It hit all the right notes for me in terms of flavor, pricing, and portion sizes (we had enough leftovers for 2-3 meals, so the dinner for two was more like dinner for six--definitely bang for your buck). read more

I wanted to go to a nearby ice cream shop but also wanted lunch before. Butter Chicken Factory showed up as one of the restaurants to try on my bookmarked map. When I opened their menu online using the QR code, without knowing beforehand, the Summerlicious menu was right there so I opted for it. Food: The masala fries and chicken pakora appetizers were my least favourite. They were accompanied by a mint chutney and tamarind chutney. The tamarind chutney had a great balance of sweet and tangy, dipping the chicken pakora elevated it since the batter on the pakoras had no detected spices. The masala fries were also the same case. The entree - palak (saag) paneer and butter chicken were great choices. I can handle some level of heat but erred on the safe side with going for mild for the spice level. As I ate the entrees, the inherent heat from the spices built up over time which I enjoyed. The mango rasmalai was not bad and made me more curious about the ice cream dessert option. Atmosphere/service: The inside felt sophisticated and fancy with accents of dark wood. There is booth seating for groups of 6 (maybe 8) people and plenty of seats for 2-4 people as well. There is a bar present and a drinks menu as well. There are two washrooms, each in their own separated rooms with a sink and hand dryers. read more

I came here with my good friend (hi David!!) for some delicious Indian food to fix our cravings and they definitely delivered. We got the dinner for two which came out with so much food. We had an appetizer basket which had two pieces of samosas, and two kinds of pakora that I unfortuntely don't know specifically what they were called - but they were delicious and crispy! It came with two sauces which complimented them quite well. This combo comes with 2 curries: 1) chicken korma which was made of slow cooked white meat chicken fresh cashew and almond paste in DOUBLE CREAM. This was so flavourful and the sauce was very much thick. It was so good but the double cream really did hit us after. 2) paneer makhani (I originally ordered the palak (saag) paneer) but they brought out the wrong one which is okay) - The paneer makhani included the paneer/cottage cheese in their homemade makhani sauce with a dash of cream and roasted fenugreek. I enjoyed the amount of veggies in it but I did hope to try the saag paneer. 3) chana masala (on the house) - the chickpeas were harder than my preference and the sauce was more watery than other places I've had it but I'm glad to have tried this version. We got medium spicy for all of the dishes and it was pretty good - maybe I'll challenge myself to the spicy spicy next time. Butter Chicken Factory also has the LARGEST naan I have EVER seen - bigger than my head. It tasted super fresh in its slight oiliness and warmth. I loved their naan so much. Their portions are also excellent. I was able to take a portion home because there were lots of left overs. Service was quite excellent and the whole restaurant was pretty clean. Loved the ambience. Would love to return specifically to try their palak paneer next time. read more

Butter Chicken Factory - Chicken dum biryani - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We had an exceptional experience here at the butter chicken factory. Everything from service, the ambiance and food. The patio outside is perfect to enjoy in the summer under the patio lights. It is a quieter street so we did not really really traffic. Butter Chicken - so delicious, I found it to be perfect amount of sweetness and savoury. Paired with a naan I will definitely be coming back here for my butter chicken cravings. Lamb biryani: wow the amount of meat in this dish was shocking. It was flavoured so well, each bite was delicious. Paired with the yogurt (raita). I don't usually get Mango Lassi but this was also a hit. The service was efficient. She was very attentive and checked on us every so often. Overall, 10/10 read more

Really good Indian restaurant. I've been several times, and each time we enjoyed it. A little on the expensive side, but really tasty. We've had pakoras, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, a lamb dish, sag paneer etc .. all really good. Reservations on Fri/Sat is recommended. read more

Came here with four friends and ordered a starter of onion bhajis, the mixed grill platter, and two curries: butter chicken (because of course!) and lamb jalfrezi. Reader, I paid $21 (after tip) and was so full I didn't need to eat for the following 22 hours. I can quibble with some aspects of the food - particularly the grill platter, which was a bit drier and less savory than I was expecting - but it was ultimately great food at a price we cannot really find elsewhere in Toronto nowadays. Decor was stylish; no complaints about the service. Will become a go-to recommendation for Indian food in Toronto! read more

I came here in spring and sat on the cute patio. The service was good and there was a lot of seating. However, I felt the food was a bit of a disappointment. None of it was bad but I had higher expectations based on word of mouth. The dishes I ordered didn't wow me because because it was lacking in flavour. The garlic naan was great though. The butter chicken was quite acidic for my liking and didn't have that smoky flavour. This was the biggest let down considering the name of the restaurant. I am willing to come here again because I've read that there's been some recipe changes. Not sure when or if it happened! Or maybe it was the day I went when things just didn't work out. My partner thought the food was okay as well. He seemed to enjoy it more than I. read more

According to Uber I've ordered from here 30+ times since COVID started. They have moved across the street! 560 Parliament St. Accessible door but it was locked and two people tell me to go to the front. Hi do you see my walker? There's a step up at the front entrance. Why have an accessible door if you're going to keep it locked?! The new location is way more spacious. Accessible washroom in the back on street level. Staff... our server I'm not sure if she fully understood us. We ordered Aloo Ghobi but never got it. She brought me a mason jar for my pop but no ice. I ask for ice and say: here's the glass to put it in. She came back with a mug of ice, not the mason. Food is delicious. I love this place! I'll always be a fan. read more

Really good!! I got the paneer makhani, saag gohbi, vegetable samosas, plain naan, papadum and gulab jamun Paneer makhani was great. Slightly sweet, rich tasting and flavourful. I got hints of tomato but it was not tomato forward. Overall really balanced and I recommend it over butter chicken as paneer doesn't dry out as much. Saag gohbi (cauliflower) was the star. Super delicious and flavourful with huge chunks of cauliflower. While the paneer makhani was too rich to finish in one sitting, I could eat the whole saag gohbi if I wanted to feel fat. Recommended if you don't want tomato based curries. Naan and papadum were great too. Naan was fluffy, soft and chewy. Perfect. Papadum was interesting but I thought the rolls were too large but I just prefer the smaller chip sized ones. Taste was good. Samosas were a bit of a disappointment. They were oily and had a thick dough. Still tasty but they're expensive and just average. I keep trying gulab jamun but I don't think I like it so will exclude it from the review. Overall this place is great and portions are large. Would recommend the curries. No pics this time because I was too excited to eat it lol. read more

An absolute 'need to go' place! We were visiting from out of town and came across their TikTok before arriving and I have never been so thankful! We came for lunch and they had variety and portions were great and plenty. The sauces were amazing!!! The place is beautifully decorated and the service was so friendly. I wish we lived closer and we would instantly become regulars. read more

The food was very on point. The plum sauce was incredible. The service was meh. We had to keep getting our servers attention for service when there wasn't a lot of patrons present. The temperature in the restaurant was a constant 24 °C in July despite us asking them to reduce the temperature. If you're going to eat here, make sure you dress appropriately. We'll definitely be back... just in the dead of winter. read more

Picked up indian food from here during the pandemic and it was divine. With a name like "Butter Chicken Factory", you can expect they'll have a really great tangy butter chicken curry that is worth trying. I found that everything else was really good too and they are generous with their portions. I look forward to another delicious wholesome Indian meal from here again in the near future. read more

Didn't really enjoy the food. I asked for the spice level of spicy and there was zero heat. Naan was ok. read more

Great food and ambiance. Make sure to reserve a table before you go. Of all the Indian places we have been to, BCF was one of the closest to being authentic Indian taste with its own way of fusion.

! I couldn't decide which of my favourite dishes I wanted so I got them all! The tandoori chicken here is always perfectly charred and I love that they make it extra spicy for me :D My other favs, hands down one the best butter chicken dishes and most authentic I've ever had in the city and really anywhere. Two of my other favs are the chicken korma which is so rich and creamy with the perfect balance of spices and the lamb jalfrezi which is made of succulent chunks of lamb with mixed grilled veggies! ! Oftentimes ppl will just order the standard butter chicken, but there's so much more to #Indianfood ! I highly recommend trying all of their dishes! The staff are always so wonderful and I love seeing them every week, and yes, I'm here at least once a week to satisfy my cravings! read more

The paneer makhani and malai kofta were so sensational, I made a priority of eating at butter chicken factory a second time before I left Toronto--& I never repeat dinning options during the same visit to a new place! I don't claim to be an expert at the authenticity of Indian food; but as an American who loves spice, flavor, and savory sauces, these gravies blew my mind and had me craving more when it was over. The naan was also so fresh and were a nice pairing. My friend who immigrated to Toronto by way of India says this is her favorite Indian restaurant in Toronto. I will disclaim that I cannot speak to the service or ambiance as we ordered via ubereats, but from a taste standpoint I couldn't give less than 5 stars I was honestly sad when the meal was over, and I'll be craving this dish from Atlanta, until next time! read more

I ordered the fish curry, naan and chicken biriyani. The portions were very large, we had enough for two meals and it was delicious.

I'm not one to give super bad reviews, but This is one where photos deceive. Very disappointing restaurant. For a place that's supposed to have one of the best butter chickens in Toronto, this one was super sweet, even though I ordered spicy, and the flavour was disappointing, chicken was too dry, and the sauce was just TOMATO. Ordered the daal tardka, which was literally NOT it, on the menu it says yellow daal but instead you just get plain channa daal which didn't taste good either. We returned the item after a bite, they were nice enough to take it back. The baingan(eggplant) bharta was the one thing that I came for, it didn't look anything like what I expected and am used to eating, instead it looked like butter eggplant. However, the taste was pretty good, something different. Which is why I'm giving the one star. We also ordered chicken pakora for starters. WORST I've ever had. They were so hard, the batter and the chicken itself. Anyone could make better ones at home! Naan was good but then again, doesn't take much to make good naan :| read more

My friend and I went for lunch. When the server came to the table we asked for menus. She pointed to a card on the table and said "Scan that with your phone", Like many seniors I do not have or want a cell phone, so we said that we did not have phones and asked for a paper menu. None available, We were presented with a grubby tablet and told that we could use this scan the menu. We declined and left. If this is the future of restaurants many seniors will never dine out again, read more

No way! Butter Chicken Factory offers lunch specials for only $9.99~ it's not on the menu, so you gotta ask the waiter for this set! Also available in vegetarian option too The set comes with butter chicken, curry, veggies, naan bread, and daily special sides and even a small dessert! With the set, I got to try 2 different flavours at once, it was my first time having the lamb curry, and it was actually surprising really really good. The creamy tomato butter chicken is definitely the highlight of the lunch~ had the perfect balance of spice and consistency I also substituted the original naan to the butteryyyyy garlic naan, the neat garlic flavour is not too overpowering, goes well dipping with the curry! Next time when you crave for butter chicken or Indian cuisines, come give this place a try Butter Chicken Lunch Special - $9.99 Garlic Naan + $1.00 for substitution with regular Naan read more

Honestly, I have never had Indian food better than this. They are rightfully named butter chicken factory because their butter chicken is the bomb. You might have less chicken when they were doing lunch specials but if you're getting butter chicken as a main, there is plenty of chicken. We also got madras curry and lamb biryani. Never had madras curry and it was very tasty, unique taste of Indian spices. The highlight for me was their biryani, lamb meat was perfectly done and the pieces had virtually no fat, that's barely ever the case with lamb dishes. Also, spicy means spicy in this restaurant, literally full of masalas, don't think I've had better biryani from an Indian restaurant. Get your butter chicken fix here, but do try their other options as well, this place does not disappoint. read more

Wow! What a pleasant surprise. We live in the area, but never tried this wonderful restaurant. The portion were very big, and perfectly delicious. We ordered the dinner for 2 what a deal!

I highly recommend it for an Indian food feast!! read more

This place does not disappoint. Butter chicken, Garlic Naan and Goan fish curry are my favorites. Butter chicken is made with white meat chunks and it's juicy af. You can order the dishes to your preferred level of spiciness. Portions are big, we always ended up with leftovers to take home. The restaurant is clean and service is always on point. Servers are friendly and they always make sure that your water glasses are filled. Definitely one of my top choices for Indian food. read more

Only bitter chicken is tasty. Other curries and appetizers are not that great. Good cocktails. A bit costly and not that tasty.

Butter chicken factory more like canned tomatoes factory, worse butter chicken we ever had YOU DO NOT USE CANNED TOMATOES FOR BUTTER CHICKEN Thats a disgrace to the dish Never going back here again. read more

I'm a frequent customer, and this is my favourite Indian restaurant downtown Toronto. Good for takeouts as well. I can particularly recommend Lamb Tikka Masala with Peas Pullao. Pros: - Really tasty food. - HUGE portions. Cons: - Wait time. They're busy and orders take way too long, especially for takeout, and their estimate is often wrong. I've been in situations before when I showed up for pick up 1 hour after ordering and still had to wait for the meal to be ready. Delivery is a nightmare as well, consistently late and can take up to 2 hours. - A bit on the pricey side, but worth it. read more

We drove by and wanted to give it a try with it's intriguing name. Ordered take it-butter chicken and two pieces of naan. The butter chicken was tasty BUT for $14 in a small take out container I would expect more than four small bite size pieces of chicken. The naan was very good and not burnt. My rating is based on value for dinner. I will try it next time for lunch where it looks like many yelpers gave it better reviews. read more

Butter Chicken Factory - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We ordered today using UberEats. 1. Lamb Biryani was great - the actual lamb pieces were tender and flavourful. Wish it came wth Raita to balance out the flavours. 2. Fish pakoras - great flavour but wasn't received crispy. Green chutney with it was fantastic. Hoping to make some sandwiches with it. 3. Butter chicken - sadly, the main dish was underwhelming. The curry was sweet, the chicken was over cooked, and the chicken pieces were too large and had to be broken to up be eaten. Definitely expected more after reading the positive reviews, but this fell to the tall pile of other underwhelming butter chicken places in Toronto. 4. Butter naan - could eat quite a number of these. It was soft and not chewy, with just the right amount of butter on it. Would order the biryani and butter naan again. Medium spice level is the way to go! read more

These guys make sure their curry dishes are overflowing! My favourite is the Chicken Madras which is fragrant and flavourful - so not like other North Indian places that want to nuke your tongue with chilli. Always seem to be busy (take out only) but always polite. read more

The staff has two tables free and didn't seat us. Instead, they told us to get take out, which had a 40 minute wait. The food is fine and maybe worth uber eats. But a bit of a pain to deal with the staff there. read more

I've eaten four times from there and something in the food is congesting. They never give you the hotness you ask. The Nan is tough and doughy, and I suspect they use yogurt when you ask to leave it out. It also feels like they use mono sodium glutamate or a flavour enhancer. I have a pounding headache every time. I always avoid food with MSG. It has not been a pleasant experience. In future I will make my own Indian food as I learned from Indians over the years and when I stayed in India. The Rice was dry and felt like Uncle Bens, Samosas were over done.. so I have head congestion, dryish throat, dripping nose hours after, headache, feel like I'm wiped out and drugged, gas etc. read more
