I ordered the chicken tikka masala, rice and garlic naan. Everything was delicious! Just the right amount of spice and everything was brought out very quickly! The server was very attentive and checked in with us regularly to make sure we were satisfied with the food and if we needed anything else. It looks very nice inside with lots of decorations and nice ambiance music in the background, not too loud. I'm glad we found this place! read more

Amazing spot! All the dishes were super tasty and the service was very friendly! Ambience was chill. read more

I love Indian cuisine and Dil Se offers the best variety of high quality and tasty Indian dishes. The restaurant spreads through 2 floors; main floor with the main bar and booths/tables for couples or groups. For larger group gatherings and event, there is a spacious dining area below ground with a separate bar. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I have tried different dishes on their menu and there's not a single dish I didn't enjoy or I wouldn't recommend. Each dish is put together with their unique spices and flavours. And the presentation is beautifully done. I strongly recommend "Chicken Kamasutra", "Butter Chicken", "Shahi Paneer" and the variety of their roti, paratha, naan and kulcha. read more

After a long day of traveling, having some good food always makes the end of the day better. Eating at Dil Se was such a pleasant experience. We got the mango lassi, the lamb vindaloo, lamb biryani, and garlic naan. Everything was really tasteful. You do get your moneys worth with the quality and quantity of the food. My only grievance is the mango lassi is small! Overall I enjoyed dinning there. read more

The food here is truly out of this world. I was tempted to just ask for them to choose for me but since the menu is so large I felt bad so I just chose myself. We tried the onion bhaji, samosa channa, chicken biryani and beef vindaloo. The beef vindaloo was a tad underwhelming as neither the flavour or heat seemed to be there. Great prices on the food but the beer prices are a bit outrageous at $13 for one bottle. The decor is really nice and most of the staff friendly, but our waitress seemed to not like us and was hard to engage with. read more

Wow, it's a Michelin restaurant in Toronto! I have the popular 2 curry dishes . They are different than what I usually ate. I believe the curry sauce is modified . They are good. The server is very patient and nicely explain the dish. Serve very well. The restaurant is clean. There is a bar at the entrance. Decorate with mix of east and west. The special in the restaurant is they put music with Om. It is very soothing and get you enjoy the dinner read more

DARE I SAY DIL SE IS THE GO TO INDIAN PLACE ;) Took a first timer and she was hooked from the first bite! Food: 8.5/10 - butter me up and give me another bowl of that butter paneer masala because I could eat until I drop! Some of the best stuff I've tasted in a while.... And it pairs just as good with the garlic naan as it does with white rice (so get both!!!) Ambiance: 8/10 - clean, classy, cute! Enough said. Service- 8/10 - courteous, kind and quick (we're really rhyming today). We were in and out and our belly's were full. read more

Friendly service and some of the best Indian food I have ever eaten in my life -- and I am a fan. The ambiance is fine (they have these "Bubble wall murals" that I don't love because the constant movement made me feel a little seasick. That said, I cannot recommend the food highly enough. If you have nut allergies, many of their classics are made with cashew but they have other dishes that provide nut-free options. I got the Chicken Tikka -- I will never stop craving that dish, it was just that good. read more

Absolute Toronto hidden gem. Well deserved inclusion on the Michelin guide for their warm curry in a cute spot in the heart of Polish Village. Great lunch deal! Lamb vindaloo and butter chicken are go to. Equally good take out option for a quick weeknight meal -- try not to blow this place up because the food is 10/10 and the service is 10/10. read more

The reviews did not disappoint. For our group of 4, we shared a butter chicken, beef bhuna, chicken biryani, naan, veggie platter and samosa channa. Great options, with some recommended from our waiter. A potential 5 star spot - the dishes were so full of flavour but we found the beef bhuna on the saltier side. My masala chai took some time to come out and when it did, it wasn't as hot. Nothing discouraging, would revisit to try other menu items. read more

Too many Indian restaurants over load spices; and it's sometimes difficult to find a place where the spice levels are truly catering to different palettes. Dil Se is refreshingly different- a menu with the usual wide variety of North Indian cuisine, and spice levels to match. The service is friendly, and pretty quick - and the Chicken Karmasutra is a great variation of a tomato based chicken korma. read more

I would say we had a great experience as part of our Toronto Indian food tour at Dil Se. It's a place our local friends hadn't been to, so it was a bit of a gamble, but it turned out great. It's more in the city than the other places we tried and so it's a lot smaller inside. It was a nice place and we easily found parking nearby. As was the case all around, we order a slew of appetizers such as samosa chaat, chili paneer, paneer tikka, etc. The paneer tikka was a highlight for me. It was very nicely flavored. The samosa chaat wasn't my favorite. Other indo-chinese options were pretty good as well. Then from an entree standpoint, the paneer was quite good and daal makhani was really good. It was the best daal of the food trip. I had that rich makhani taste, but without being super-creamy somehow. It was really good. The naan, parathas, and all were decent. The service was fine as well. Very nice waiter and staff. Can't complain. Definitely a recommend. read more

Wow, there's a reason Dil Se has had a Michelin rating for the last several years. Authentic, complex and savory food, veg and non-veg and at a good price too. read more

The atmosphere is cozy and quiet, with tasteful music playing softly in the background and cute kitschy yet classy decor. I ordered the dal tadka lunch special and waited no more than five minutes before the food arrived. The plain basmati rice was perfectly prepared, the dal was presented simply and full of flavor, the salad was simply shredded carrot, cucumber and onion, and the yogurt was nicely seasoned as well and the little dessert donut tasted like a warm hug but the fresh naan, which arrived about one minute later, stole the show. It was crispy, chewy, and puffy and exceeded my expectations. All this for $11.99, what a great meal! read more

Really great curry and naan bread. The curry has a unique smokiness to it that other places can't replicate. Although, the customer service sometimes can be a bit different. They called me one time accusing that I didn't pay for my order, when I did. But other than that, really great food. read more

Workers and servers were sooo nice and accommodating. We had a big group of 10 come in without a reservation and they were very sweet and created a space for us in the restaurant. Interior was beautiful and the food was AMAZING! They are Michelin rated read more

Dilse is in my neighbourhood and I've been loving their excellent food since they opened. I usually go at lunch to enjoy their generous lunch specials. Unfortunately my server once again was a young woman who should not be a server. She's been working there for many months. She's cold and robot-like. I ordered the Saag Chicken special but she told me that it's not one of the specials. I told her I saw it listed outside as one. Then she said the Chicken Saag is one of the specials in an overly serious manner. Not off to a good start with her as my server. Whoever manages Dilse, please tell your inexperienced servers that it's unnecessary and annoying when a server approaches shortly after the meal has been served, and sees the customer putting a mouthful of food in, and then asks how the food is. She continued being cold until the end. I didn't catch her name but she wears glasses and was working today. The next time I enter the restaurant to see that she's working, I will exit and go elsewhere. Otherwise my meal was once again superb. Dilse, your servers are who either make or break your customer's dining experience. You can do much better than having this poor server working for your fine establishment. read more

Servers need to be trained properly. Neither they know how to serve nor they know how to treat people

Tasty Indian food with great service. The shrimp masala has good amount of large tender shrimp. Beef Korma is highly recommended. When we mentioned one of the dishes is a little too spicy for the kids, the manager immediately said she would remake the order to our liking, that level of responsibility to make exceptional dinning experience is very rare to see in a very busy restaurant at the heart of downtown. read more

Fantastic food experience whether ordering delivery or in-person dining. Really nice flavours, good quality ingredients and well-prepared.

The first time we went to Dil Se it was great service, really good food ... last night we took our son & his girlfriend there & we were VERY disappointed, the service was terrible ... we waited to place our order for at least 15-20 mins, & had to flagged down a waiter & the staff seemed annoyed & abrupt & couldn't have cared less ... very disappointing treatment!! read more

Found out about this restaurant when I was trying to find a dinner place open till late. It was a really good find. The place had a really good ambiance and it was clean and nicely decorated. The crew was very friendly and respectful. We ordered Paneer Lababdaar, butter naan and cocktail kabob. Everything tasted amazing. Kabobs were not too oily. We relished our meal. Very happy to have a great place for dinner even a bit later at night. Thank you Dil se. We'll be back with more friends! P.S we found parking on the street since we went in a bit late at night but I can see it could be a bit challenging. read more

This was honestly one of the best indian restaurants I've ever been to, food was amazing and truly traditional. I got the samosa appetizer and they served it just like they serve it in the streets of India Also the service was awesome our server Roshni was so nice and she explained things well to us, there was another male server and he was super nice as well. For sure I would recommend this place read more

The restaurant overall is in a good location and the interior is nice. The food overall we would give 4/5, onion bhaji was good but not a lot of flavour for the onion itself. Butter chicken was on the sweeter side but the paneer tikka masala was actually spicy and delicious. The service was good but would recommend the server to try not to come around the customers so many times how their food was read more

Dil Se Indian Restaurant & Bar - Lunch special with paneer lababda - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We ordered a range of dishes for 2 people - veggie momos, chicken tikka, lamb curry, chicken biryani and garlic naan. The food was amazing! It was the best Indian food I've had in Canada and reminded me a lot of the restaurants I used to dine at in Mumbai while growing up there. The momos had a really unique flavour, better than some Himalayan restaurants. The chicken and lamb were spiced perfectly and super tender and juicy. The lamb gravy and naan weren't greasy at all, and I didn't feel bloated after eating here. The chutneys were also really delicious. We got medium spicy and it certainly had a good kick! I would recommend leveling down on the spice if you can't handle it. Overall, the best find I can think of and would recommend 10/10. read more

Our go to place for Indian. Love that it's local to my neighbourhood, but it's also legitimately so good. Lots of variety including more Manchurian/Tibetan dishes to mix things up. Great veg and meat options. Everything always delish. Portions could be bigger though! Personal faves: - chili noodles - chili fried paneer - butter chicken - tikka chicken read more

*delivery review* We had the vegetarian momos, mixed vegetable curry, and the paneer lababdar. We were a little surprised at the price of the rice (which isn't included with the curries), so just made our own while the order was on the way. Everything was flavourful without being heavy/oily. We will definitely order from here again! read more

My entire family member liked the food and services. In general, members in my family have a different opinion as far as restaurants are concerned. read more

We celebrated our friend's birthday at Dil Se one afternoon. The staff put on happy birthday song on the speakers, sang the song, and offered us complimentary dessert in honoring my friend. The entire celebration was touching. The veggie balls are so delicious, the onions and bell peppers being lightly fried preserved their tangy flavor. The mash soybean curry was silky delicious with the cashew cream, the mash soybean tasted like paneer but it's a vegan dish. The vegetable biryani was spiced so well and every bite was flavourful with soft rice. Above all, the service was very hospitable, warm, and kind. The restaurant was very clean and I enjoyed the light-fixture decorations. The staff was very familiar with the dishes and was able to explain them well to me. I will definitely return to Dil Se Indian Restaurant and bar again. read more

Dil Se Indian Restaurant & Bar - Happy Birthday Complimentary dessert from Dil Se - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had the Chicken Karahi and it was excellent. Can't wait to work my way through the rest of the menu. Service was also prompt and courteous.

Came here for the first time last Tuesday when I arrived in Toronto. The service was wonderful and very attentive. The food was amazing with so much flavor. Had to come back again on my last night before leaving Toronto. This time, we tried the Vegetable Briyani and the Chicken Lababdar (Chef's Special). Definitely did not disappoint. Very flavorful with the right amount of spice (you can choose mild, medium, hot). We choose medium. They drew 3 hearts since there were 3 of us. Their restaurant motto is "With Love". The ambiance is perfect, wasn't loud, and was happy to see customers dining and picking up to go orders. Very sweet customer service and flavorful food. The menu is extensive. Oh also forgot to take pictures of the momos......had the tandoori chicken momos.....never had anything like that before and unfortunately may not again unless I come back to visit Toronto. Please support this business, you won't be disappointed! read more

Best Indian food I can remember having in Toronto, as a whole meal. I may have had a better dish here or there (or not) but I don't recall having a meal that pleased me as much as this one. I grew up in Mtl and ate at Bombay Mahal - the OG Bombay Mahal, not the one that still runs today - and was spoiled on quality. I'm also of Trinidadian descent so grew up eating a lot of Indian food. That said, I was pretty surprised at Dil Se when we ate there last night. So much so that we went and got takeout for tonight! I had the Chicken Kadai (sp?) - a dish I've never eaten before, and the palak paneer, and an eggplant dish. Each was better than the last, in no particular order. Anywhere you start, you eat a better dish, and a better one - they were all great. The paneer is the best textured and tastiest paneer I can recall having and everything else was great as well. I've only eaten 4 dishes there (also had channa samosa, which was very good!) but they all came up as impressive. We had chef's special naan and garlic cheese naan. My partner preferred the chef's special while I preferred the garlic cheese, but both were excellent. Really a solid spot - I suggest you go if you're thinking about it! Service was also good! We will be back! read more

I ordered directly off their site as I think that is the best choice for the restaurant to benefit from. They called to confirm spice level and asked how many people in our party. It was ready for my timed pick up with many thanks from the owner that we chose them. Very friendly. All food was delicious including enough complimentary Gulab jamun (Indian donuts) to go around. A new favourite. Will have again and eventually take a seat in this warm looking and feeling dining room. read more
