Their prices are good and the portions are big, especially the pad thai. The pad thai was filled with ingredients and lots of peanuts which I like. Not too much egg though. The real bummer is that it is very dry and had no tamarind flavor at all. I would not order it again. The green curry is delicious and spicy but it was too much on the sweeter side.

We order from here a few times a year but made it a tradition to get every Valentine's day. This year was no exception and like so many times before they did NOT disappoint. We pretty much always go with the butter chicken, veggie korma and garlic plus regular naan bread with a few samosas on the side. I can't say enough about the absolute mastery of flavours and spices used in each dish. Speaks volumes about how long each toon to get just right. Price point is right on par with any established restaurant so I fine to pay the 75$ for a couple curries and rice especially as they feed you for at least two meals. The owner is usually there when I pick up and always quick to engage in a lively conversation about whatever I choose to. Highly recommend this place. Give it a solid 9.2/10 Mange!

Also tried the chicken tikka masala and mutter paneer - both average. Didn't come with rice or dosa which was a surprise.

The star of the meal was definitely the Raju gari mutton biryani. The mutton was so tender and flavorful and the rice excellently cooked, very fluffy without being greasy. The eggplant offer a nice vegetation option with a tamarind twist. We got the double kamita to go and it was perfect. The portion sizes are massive so you'll have food to take away as well. Staff are very nice and service is fast. Nice interior space with booth and table seating. Overall highly recommend 10/10.

Dhamaka is a new biryani restaurant that opened last year, I've been meaning to go there but…read morecouldn't find the time so I ordered their biryani on Ubereats. :: Temper chicken biryani - it was spicy but delicious! I would say their one portion is just right for two people. :: Temper paneer biryani - also spicy but did not have as much flavour, the paneer pieces were big so the marination didn't go all the way through. :: Paneer 65 - this was really good and saucy! I would say compared to other biryani places, their portions were a bit smaller and they did not have many veggie options. I would be interested to go there in-person and try some of their other things.

I liked that there was a TV that showcased all the meals they make. I had their Grounding Brunch Bowl with Avocado as my 'meat' choice, and it was fantastic. The egg is soft poached, the garlic aioli is very flavourful and went great with all the contents in the bowl. The Dark Roast Coffee was nothing special though and it was served with raw brown sugar. Still, the food is great, the service is admirable and I would very much like to return there.

We couldn't see the sign at first, then my husband saw an "open" sign and we walked in. What we heard others say "Yasir" turned and was cheerful and handed us a bite of fresh chicken he had cooked. This is a one man show, it seems. And the delightfulness alone would have you coming back. But one by one people walked in, knew his name and asked for the soups (on a particularly warm day). We had the chicken and the doner and our tummies were full and satiated. Finished it off with a cookie and we were back on the road to traffic. All said and done, this place was a hidden gem to the passerby, but a known gem to the neighborhood, we suspect.

You really get a sense of chosen family and the care, love, and pride they have for this little neighbourhood gem.
