Service was quick and attentive ... big improvement over my first visit.

Good Karma recently opened up in Markville Mall, in the food court space formerly occupied by…read moreAmaya. The layout and options are very inviting. While I was there, they had a grand opening special for $8. This included your choice of base (garlic rice noodles, salad greens, or seasoned rice), 2 sides, and choice of 1 protein/entree. The sides, which included choices such as chickpea salad, kale ceasar, spicy eggplant, and broccoli pakora, looked fresh and were replenished often. The entrees included spicy beef vindaloo, butter chicken, and railway goat curry. Some vegetarian options were also available. The food was packaged into cardboard boxes (yay for less plastic in landfills!). My husband complained that his portion size for the beef vindaloo was on the smaller side, whereas I found portions for butter chicken to be fairly reasonable. There was certainly plenty of food. I was very happy to have come across this place in the food court, and it is a welcome addition. I thought $8 was a very good deal for the amount of food but I'm not sure how much my meal would cost outside of the special pricing for the grand opening. Nonetheless I would definitely consider adding Good Karma this to my rotation for go-to restaurants at the mall.

Great concept, especially in a food court filled with greasy fast food. It feels like a salad bar…read more One thing I found a bit disappointing is the hot main options weren't hot, more so room temperature. Otherwise great service and great flavours.

It is quite spacious and has a lot of seating to come dine in but does also do take out options. The staff is quite slow here to come take your food and even for your food to come out, so be prepared for that! It took quite some time for one of my friend's dishes to come out while the rest of us had even finished eating. But the staff are very nice and we were seated quite quickly, on the plus side. When it came to the food, everything was pretty good!! We got quite a few appetizers including: Gopi 65 (which was delicious), Chili Idli (would come back just for this) and the Bhaaji. And for our entrees we got the Garlic Parotta with Kurma (would pass on this), Paneer Biryani (was okay), Paneer Masala Dosa (was good) the Mushroom Uthapam (was good) and the Chili Parotta (would pass on this). Overall the food was good, definitely had some dishes I would come back for. If you're looking for some South Indian food in Scarborough I would recommend! 7/10 Recommend!

You pick an appitizer, main and dessert. I picked the MALAI CHICKEN TIKKA, BEEF VINDALOO and the CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE. All were great as usual. My family tried the following. VEGETABLE SAMOSA, FISH PAKORA, BUTTER CHICKEN, CHICKEN KORMA, GULAB JAMUN, RASMALAI. We shared a bite of each item and we all enjoyed each item. For the dessert I do recommend the chocolate truffle cake. The service was excellent and you can beat the great food and free concert series on Thursday nights in July.

The naan is AMAZING! It was perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I would go…read moreback just for the naan honestly. The food is on the less spicy side compared to other Indian restaurants, so keep that in mind when you order. The service was EXCELLENT. I noted the restaurant only a few parties during peak dinner time though--not as busy as I would have expected.

Saw many good online reviews so decided to give it a try. The restaurant is modern with nice decor…read more It was only half full on a Friday night. They have a great menu and drink list with many selections. We ordered tandoori chicken, garlic naan and chicken safioni biryani. The chicken biryani was served with crushed nuts, deep fried garlic and fresh coriander on top, it's so fragrant and the ingredients were so fresh; both garlic naan and tandoori chicken were also tasty. I just commented that the biryani was a bit salty, when I wanted to take home the leftover biryani, the server immediately offered to make a fresh one, I couldn't believe such generosity although I didn't take the offer. The overall dining experience has been so pleasant, we'll always come back!

We ordered chole bhature, chicken kadai, 2 mango lassi, and 2 naans and the total came up to about…read more$73. It's very expensive for what you're getting. The chick peas in the chole bhature were still hard, the chicken had spices that weren't ground properly so there were very hard pieces (we thought there was a rock in our food!). We told the server and he didn't seem to care and just said it's a spice. We are South Asian and found this place to be a rip off especially for quality of food for the price. Won't return again.

Everything was done through online ordering where my payment was taken, and when I went in store to pay I was told they never received my payment and tried to charge me twice. Overall the service here for both in person and take out, is not the greatest. Wait times are long and the staff is not very attentive. When it comes to the food, it's okay. I have ordered the Charminar Veg Dum Biryani would not recommend. Previously have also ordered their Chana Masala and Gopi Manchurian which is decent. The portion sizes are small, and honestly probably won't be ordering from here anymore. 4/10 recommend!

I've dined at other locations of Charminar but this was my first time at the Markham location. The…read morefood tasted great but there were a few things that I just can't ignore. Read on... The Good I had the Goat Biryani Combo from their lunch menu and it was very filling and delicious! It actually included two chicken side dishes, naan, raita, salan, and dessert, making this combo a great value. It was also very filling! The Bad The actual price of the meal was $3.00 more than stated on their menu. Their menu is online and you have to scan a QR code pasted to the table to view it on your mobile phone. Hmmm, suppose you didn't have a phone, or an app to read the QR code? How would I know if I was being scammed by my server? The Not So Great The restaurant is large, obviously two units. One side is very dark and the other side brightly lit. Decor is very stark. Very! The wall surfaces are hard so you could easily hear every word of every conversation taking place in the restaurant. I was seated at a round table that had four place settings but the extra settings were not removed when I was seated. How long had they been there? There was also a pitcher of water (room temperature) on each table. How long has that been there? All the plates were noticeably chipped. This is the most upscale looking Charminar I've been to but they have a lot to learn about service. My experience at their other locations was far better! At least I enjoyed the food. PS - I never got the dessert.
