I ordered some Vegetable Samosa, a Lamb Vindaloo (medium to high spice) and some Garlic Naan. The food came out fairly swiftly, important for a lunchtime service. The Samosa was a little overcooked on the pastry but the vegetable filling was good. The lamb was reasonably tender but very yummy. The rice was excellent and the garlic naan was superb. Overall, not disappointing.

Desi Pakawan stood out the most and we were not disappointed. We ordered butter chicken, shrimp biryani and two orders of naan to share (just enough for 2 girls). Everything was full of flavour with a kick, and freshly made (seeing the flames in their open kitchen). Worked out to be $30 per person so highly recommend checking this spot out.

Ample seating and even outdoor patio seating with string lights adding to the ambiance. I love the Chicken 65. It's tangy and very appetizing. All the curries I had were delicious. I tried the coconut chicken curry (has a bit of a kick) and also at another occasion the cashew curry for takeout, which was recommended by the staff. I think I preferred the cashew curry a bit more and it's less spicy too. It's also halal too if it matters to you. I would definitely recommend as there so many different type of curries and hakka dishes to try. Staff was also very friendly. It was late into the evening when I came in and ordered takeout and waited. The staff made small talk with me while I waited and even voided the tip, which is rare in the service industry these days.

I tried their weekend buffet and it was good, solid tasty Indian food. It's a smaller buffet selection but they have the standard items (butter chicken, tandoori chicken, chana masala, samosa, pakora, salad selection, gulab jamun, fresh naan, etc). Personally the spice level was too subtle for me but I grew up in Little India. Otherwise I had a good first experience there. I will definitely order from their menu next time and customize the spice level. The owner working the front all by himself was always smiling, courteous and efficient during their busiest time on the weekend.

Besides being very tasty, everything was colourful and nicely presented. In addition to what we had, they also offer a variety of dishes cooked in a tandoor oven, plus lamb, beef, vegetarian, momos, and more, including Thali Lunch Specials. The dining room has expanded since my last visit, with the removal of the sweets counter, and the addition of a bar. Well done!

They took our order over the phone the day before and everything was ready on time. The guy who took my order was very nice and helped me make sure we had enough food for the amount of people we were. The inside of the restaurant is clean and they have a few table for people to dine in. I picked up close to when they just opened, so it was empty when I got there. Some of the dishes we ordered as mild or not spicy and they actually made it as such. We could have had it spicier, but appreciated that they didn't make it super spicy for us. Sometimes "mild" in some places is still pretty spicy! Every single dish we had was delicious. The garlic naan was sooooo soft and tasty. The butter chicken momos were a must try! The fish pakoras were a hit too. Definitely will be back here. Great food, great service, well priced and clean!

Seating is ample, and it had a nice atmosphere but the mix of pop music with Indian music was a bit strange. Service was nice but it took a long time to get our food, but once the dishes were delivered they were presented nicely and had amazing taste. The spice level was higher than what "mild" is typically but I loved it and so did our kids. We just needed more water to tone down the heat. Great food - with slow service but it is worth the wait.

My Aunt lives on Pharmacy and Finch and stopped here to get take-out for us because she was certain that we would enjoy it, and she was right! Manisha greeted us as soon as we entered. What I like about Toronto is that you can find pretty much every cuisine lining the streets from East to West. I was in awe. I have been impressed with three establishments of which I had the opportunity to dine. I live in Texas, and every Indian restaurant here in town starts off great, but eventually ends up declining in both taste and quality. So glad to have been in Toronto celebrating Diwali! The Parathas pictured here are not from the restaurant. The Paneer Pakoras and Fish Curry were to die for (pictured here) and the Milk Cake with Cherries (not pictured) was so tasty! I would come back just for those dishes alone. Definitely worthy of a return visit.

With locations in Brampton on Ebenezer Road and in Scarborough, they are a highly popular restaurant for UberEats and SkipTheDishes delivery and takeout. There was a long lineup for UberEats and SkipTheDishes and other delivery services, along with regulars patiently waiting for their takeout orders for their families. Be patient and willing to wait up to 40 minutes for them to prepare your food during peak times. One person walked in and ordered the entire case full of ready made quick bites! Since it was late midday they were no longer serving Madras Thali (Chennai Food Platter) and their Bombay Thali (Mumbai Plate Meals). Those items are no longer served due to Covid? They were also out of the popular Madras Filter Coffee but that allowed us to choose other options. Really you can't go wrong with ordering anything on their wide ranging menu since it is all delicious! Everyone was ordering Dosa Varieties and I noticed quite a few dessert chocolate Dosa being ordered too. Kids love it! Next time I visit, I will order the Onion Chilli Oothapam or 7 Taste Oothapam. For this visit, I opted for a few plates to order and share with friends in order for us to share a variety of each of their favourites. * Coriander Masala Dosa * Extra Sambar, Chutney and Rasam* for an additional charge (it was so good we all ordered an extra Rasam for takeaway!) * Poori with Vegetable Kurma and Chana* * Idli Vada Plate came with 2 idli and 2 vada*. Plate Idli includes Sambar and Chutney * Indian Masala Tea Overall it was great selection to choose from and the food was very good. We each ordered extra bowl of Rasam for takeout!
