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.

I went to the store to order takeout, but no one came out to acknowledge me from the kitchen after…read moreI stood there for a good solid 8 minutes. I went back in my car, sat for a couple of minutes, and called them. To my surprise they picked up and accepted my order. I was even told it would take about 25 minutes on a Thursday evening at around 7:20pm. And so, I waited in my car, walked into the store periodically to find out the whereabouts of my Paneer Makhani $6.99 and Palak Gosht $8.99. The third time I came around to check, it seemed as if they forgot to make my order, and told me another 10 minutes. Waited exactly 1 hour and 12 minutes before I got my food (at this my stomach was eating itself), and when I asked to use my 10% off discount from Yelp check-in, the younger staff did not acknowledge the discount and told me I cannot use it. Again, while I loved the food I don't think I will ever make a repeat visit. Not only was I refused the 10% discount, but the staff was unapologetic about making me wait 1 hr and 12 minutes when I was told 25 mins. Had I known, I would have gone to Popeyes next door to avoid this nuisance. Thank you and goodbye.

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, and what I…read morereceived was absolutely disgusting -- the chicken was clearly spoiled, black in color, and completely tasteless. Serving food that has gone bad is not only unprofessional, it's dangerous to customers' health. When I called to complain, they casually offered to "replace" the dish as if that makes it acceptable to serve rotten food in the first place. I asked for a refund because there's no way I'd trust them to send me another item, but they flat out refused and insisted I pick something else off their menu. Why would I want anything else from a restaurant that already proved they don't care about food safety? I will be filing a complaint with the food safety authorities to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else. If you value your health and money, stay far away.

I remember the delicious flavours, spices and of course freshness of the food! One of my most favourite memories, and something that sets apart their Biryani was their use of raisins in the biriyani Let me first say that this place is absolutely delicious! The spices, the flavours, the lack of oil was all on point, and reminded me of my time in Hyderabad...The only thing that was missing was the raisins! I ordered the chicken biriyani lunch combo which came with aloo tiki, AMAZING raitha, a peanuty salan, and rice pudding to finish.. all felt $9.99! That's a price that can't be beat! I wanted to give this place a 4.5/5 bc of the lack of raisins, but I'm left feeling satisfied and generous. I'll definitely be back to try the other biriyani and thali combos!!

Wow what a disappointment. Honestly feel robbed after having a dinner here…read more I ordered a bunch of items to try with the family and boy was it underwhelming. The biryani's and chicken tikka were the saviours here but to be served the rest of the items has to be a joke. The small quantity of meat and curry from the dishes was ridiculous. Each dish ranged from $15-20 and paying $20 for a singular piece of meat with no flavour is a complete robbery. Each dish was pretty much finished after we had a small sample of it. Being known as a kebab house you'd think the grilled meats would be flavourful and juicy but the kebabs were dry and lacked in seasoning. The Karahi gosht was a single piece of meat with a thick layer of oil resting on top. The curry itself lacked in flavour and we almost vomitted when trying it. I love trying new restaurants with the family and supporting local businesses but you need to avoid this place at all costs. 1/5

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! A bonus tip for Yelpers ordering takeout in the morning or the evening: MORNINGS From 8:30-11:30AM you can order Tiffin Items such as the Special Nilgiris Combo, Venoongal/Ghe Pongal, Rava Uppma or Rava Kichadi. EVENINGS From 5-8PM they offer Bajji Varieties like Plantain, Chilli, Onion or Potato Bajji.
