An upscale Indian restaurant, with plenty of menu options ranging from mainstream butter chicken to niche curry fish options. The environment is all dark banquets and fancy lighting, making it a good date night option. We had the fish, curry, chicken, biryani, and some garlic naan. It was the perfect amount for two people as a substantial dinner. The spice levels are accurate here, so do be careful when ordering medium. We'd like to the presentation of the biryani as it came baked with a bread lid, which peels back to review the delicious rice. A little bit more on the pricey side due to its central downtown location, but the flavors, quality and atmosphere is worth the treat. read more

Nice ambiance, attentive service, and generously portioned set tasting menu for the price. They offer vegetarian and non-vegetarian options for the set menu. I opted for vegetarian - while all items were delicious, the paneer tikka and jackfruit kofta stood out. They offer an extensive list of cocktails and mocktails - I opted for a lychee based mocktail which was very tasty and not overly sweet. Great flavors and lovely presentation all around. I recommend for a nice dinner out. read more

Passed by so many times in 4 years here but never actually tried it. Tried the veg platter and it was delicious. Had all the appetizers in small quantities. Tried the non-veg biryani but was nothing compared to the biryanis in Scarborough. Ambience was suitable for fine dining. Service was good. read more

Great food, service and ambience. Definitely has an authenticity about it and not just any Indian restaurant.

Came here for authentic Indian food. Although it's near Dundas Square on Yonge, I've never noticed this place in all these years. The interior was the classic type, though you could still tell the place had been here for a while, with wipe marks on the glass walls, but the elegant cutlery added a nice touch. Their appetizer samosas were shaped like spring rolls... I understand this place is positioned as fine dining, but the samosa is an iconic representation of Indian cuisine; its shape should have been kept in the original triangle. The main dishes were delicious. We tried their Butter Chicken, Fish Curry, Chicken Biryani, and Garlic Naan. The chicken and fish curries were delicious, and the biryani was flavorful too. However, the dishes are on the pricey side, averaging around $25 per dish. Service was attentive. For those who seek an authentic Indian dining experience, this place can be considered.

When it says by Sanjeev Kapoor you go with a certain expectations in your head. The food was nice but nothing mind blowing. Service was decent. I felt a little slow service. Overall I felt it was a little pricy if the taste I expected. Maybe the Indian taste buds are used to a certain flavor. If you want a safe place to get introduced to Indian cuisine I will still recommend this place. read more

We were very excited to visit Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's restaurant Khazana and had high expectations! I ordered the mocktail mojito which was lukewarm- not enough ice. Oh well! My daughter got the sindoori salmon which was supposed to be grilled but came out deep fried. The salmon wasn't very fresh either. The mixed vegetables dish was mostly some paneer is an extremely spicy tomato sauce that we barely touched. The service was indifferent, seemed they were understaffed for a busy Saturday night. All in all, a pretty forgettable experience, and pretty pricey too. We will not be returning. read more

All I can say is ghatiya food, ghatiya service, and overhyped! Of course one should keep expectations low at any restaurant by a celebrity chef in the Times Square-esque neighborhood of that city. But we were talking about Toronto, probably the most diverse metro area in the world, and Khazana also has a branch that has managed to survive in Punjabi-dominated Brampton, so I thought perhaps things would go okay. Should I start with the dahi vada taco, which had no identifiable vadas, but appeared to be just curd served on cold grocery-store taco shells? Or we could jump ahead to the our two main entrees, the decidedly mediocre dal makhani and equally unmemorable paneer main dishes we shared. I also wouldn't want to forget when the server rudely told me to "take my cutlery" without so much as a please or thank you when she was bringing new plates and apparently did not want to also bring me a new fork. The soundtrack was also a very odd curation of Bollywood hits that would not accompany a peaceful dinner in my book - do I really want to be listening to songs from Ghajini over cocktails? read more

Mediocre food with slow service and there were flies flying around as well. Really had higher expectations knowing this restaurant is owned by a celebrity chef. I did the chefs tasting menu and the only thing that stood out to me was the lamb chop. The gulab jamun dessert tasted like it just came out of the microwave. read more

Ambiance- Nice, dim ambiance for a special occasion. Service - Good service, as expected. Option to get reservation on their website Food - Just okay, average and it doesn't justify the name or the price. Pretty standard presentation Location - Great location, close to two metro stops and opposite to the mall. Well it try it again for this price range? Possibly not, unless they stand out with the taste and flavor. read more

I reserved a table for 2 at 9:30 pm yesterday and the service I received was absolutely disappointing. No one even bothered to check in with us for the first 15 mins and then a lady server came in and just stared at me and asked me if I wanted to order. No pleasantries exchanged and no intro. This is my first experience like this that too coming from such a big brand restaurant it was surprising. She was such in a rush that she did not even answer my questions clearly even after asking if the Khazana lassi im ordering will have edible nuts in it. She said it'll be all liquid but it wasn't. Also, she didn't clarify what's in the tasting menu and hasn't ran with the order just because we mentioned it. I don't eat lamb but I had to to just suffer though this meal by only eating what I could that was brought to me. The tasting menu included appetisers - Salmon, truffle chicken (they tasted very weird would not recommend anyone to try) and lamb chops (which I do not eat). And the the mains included butter chicken, Dal Makhni and Lamb dish (which I do not eat). The food tasted average, I have had better tasting butter chicken and Dal makhni in Toronto. They also had biryani rice and breads for us in the table which were pretty average as well. The restaurants close time is 10:30 and they started to turn in bright lights at 10 and moving around with trash bags while we eat. I would highly suggest management to not take reservations for 9:30 if this is the service you're looking to offer at that time. Highly disappointed! read more

This Indian restaurant was a great culinary experience, including a both elegant and relaxing atmosphere, suitable to chat with people in my party. Also, all dishes, including appetizers were easily shareable, without compromising the quality of each dish. From outside, it looks uneventful, but once inside, you immediately realize you're for a treat! read more

Khazana Toronto is the newest location of Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's fine Indian Dinning - the other two locations can be found in Milton and Brampton. And I must say, they have chosen the perfect location in the heart of downtown and in walking distance from Eaton Centre and Young-Dundas Square. The ambience so elegant with the dim lighting and well-spaced tables that makes it perfect for both couples and groups. The staff are welcoming, nice and very professional. They even explain all the dishes on the menu if you ask them. Lol The menu is available through the QR Code attached to the tables. We were a group of super hungry people that couldn't decide on what to order from their appealing modern fusion menu that included many signature dishes, like naans, appetizers, veggies, beef, lamb, chicken, seafood dishes and last but not least, biryani. So, we decided to go with the dishes that were unique to this restaurant and we couldn't find in other Indian restaurants. We finally decided to order some appetizers, mains (both veggies and meat), biryani and naan and share them. It's too bad we couldn't share our drinks tho. Lol We started with signature drinks that the bartender suggested which he had come up with the recipes all by himself. He patiently explained listened to us and what we like for our drinks and suggested the best options. They were so visually fascinating that we didn't want to drink them. Lol For appetizers, we went with: Jodhuri Papad Paneer Tikka ($22), Black Forest Truffle Chicken Tikka ($27), Sous Vide Lamb Chops ($32), Original Recipe Bhatti Murg Tikka ($23) and Tandoori Parmesan Soya Chaap ($20). All dishes were made from fresh ingredients and were flavoured right. So delicious. You can take it from a person who's not big on vegetarian food that Tandoori Parmesan Soya Chaap was one of the best veggie dishes I've ever had. And it was torched at the table. Also, chicken and lamb pieces were so tender and fresh. You think we didn't have room for the main dishes after the appetizers we had? You're all wrong, cause we were eager to eat what we had ordered for entrée. Our main dishes included Shrimp Chettinad Biryani ($28), King Curry ($24) and Queen Curry ($28). I have tried biryani in many Indian restaurants, but I'd said this was by far the best Biryani I've ever had. Curry dishes tasted amazing, too. I never thought paneer could taste this great. Lol We topped up our dishes with some of their signature naans that we couldn't find in any other Indian restaurant: Saffron and Almond ($6.75), Garlic and Chive ($6) and Cheese and Tomato ($6.25). I'd say whoever came up with these tastes for a naan was a genius and my favourite of all the naans was Saffron and Almond Naan. My overall opinion of this place is it's obvious there has been a lot of thought and effort put into putting this unique menu together and even more effort into making is so deliciously and presenting it with such care and delicacy. read more

Sanjeev Kapoor truly is a genius. Every single dish I had was spectacular! The naan which had a slightly reddish glaze was perfectly crispy outside and chewy inside. Never seen or tasted anything like it before. Best naan I have had. All of the bread is amazing. I can eat any basket of their bread, plain. Without anything else. The curries were also divine. Full of mouth watering flavor. I am salivating right now... Not to forget their lassis and dessert which were also fantastic. The dessert was a great example of a Western and Eastern fusion that worked beautifully. Khazana completes the whole experience with a fancy interior and genuine attentive service. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! As an Asian person, I am proud to see a restaurant of this quality representing us in the busiest and most iconic place in Downtown Toronto, Yonge and Dundas Square. I saw the coming soon sign for this restaurant awhile back and it sparked my curiosity because it went as far as to mention the Chef by name. I have certainly seen Western restaurants do that, but I had never seen that before from an Indian restaurant. So, I took a picture of the facade, shared it with my WhatsApp group and googled "Sanjeev Kapoor". Turned out that he is a highly acclaimed celebrity chef. When I learned that they serve fusion Indian cuisine, I have to be honest, I was a little skeptical. Indian cuisine I think is expansive and magnificent as it has evolved over thousands of years. When Eastern food is made "fusion", that usually means to me that it has been robbed of what is good to fit a different palate. That however, is not the case with Khazana. read more

Pretty good indian restaurant if you are in this part of town. We had lunch here on the weekend which was quite pricy. Besides another table we were the only ones there. If you really want a good lunch deal I would come between Mon to Friday. They have a great special. The lamb bhuna curry contained very little lamb but the waiter was nice enough to bring us a whole new one. Good tadka dal and seek. I would definitely return during the week. The lassi was very good read more

Great food with beautiful ambiance and warmest staff. We tried 5 items all were just perfect. Keep appetite for moon dal halwa.

Khazana is an modern Indian fine dining restaurant crafted by famous Indian Chef Sanjeev Kapoor. The food and service is definitely befitting of a fine dining restaurant. The Toronto chefs are trained by Chef Sanjeeve Kapoor. Because fine dining Indian restaurants are rare  in Canada, we weren't expecting too much. However, this restaurant is beyond expectations in food quality, taste, presentation, and service. The cuisine is considered a modern fusion Indian cuisine that is more flavourful and not heavy on the palette. They use very little cream and butter. The emphasis is on the quality of ingredients. The dishes are from different parts of India ... Punjabi, Mughlai, Awadhi, Andhra and a bit of western India. There are 3 seating areas. The front is bright with large windows. The middle are is close to the bar. The rear dining area (about 60% of the restaurant) is more plush and elegant, and darkened for a more intimate atmosphere. There is modern Indian music playing. The dine-in and takeout menus can be seen by scanning a QR code (don't use the outdated menu on their website). Three of us had lunch on Wed 2022-06-01. We found the menu quite extensive! We got excellent recommendations from the senior server, Aditya, and the chef. We ordered the following: 1. (cocktail) Pine Blues ($19). Coconut Cream blenched with Malibu rum, limoncello, cointreau, blue curacao and pineapple. 2. (mocktail) Alphonso Mango Lassi ($12). Mango puree, yogurt, honey. Topped with almond slivers. 3. (mocktail) Khazana Lassi ($14). Almonds, raisins, cashew nuts, apple, pomegranate, cherries. 4. (appetizer) Black Forest Truffle Chicken Tikka ($27). Clay oven charred chicken morsels with a mushroom and truffle marinade, naan underliners, mathania chilly cream. 5. (appetizer) Jodhpuri Papad Paneer Tikka ($22). West Indian chilli marinated cottage cheese, loaded with crunchy papadums & served with manthania peri-peri dip. 6. (main) King Curry (butter chicken) ($24). Slow roasted chicken morsels in a buttery tomato gravy, finished with a dash of cream. 7. (main) Deggi Murg Korma ($25). Slow cooked wood fired chicken curry, a traditional recipe from Lucknow (city in northern India). 8. (bread) Laal Mirch Naan ($6). 9. (bread) Methi Parantha ($5). 10. (dessert) Shahi Halwa Pie ($13). Moong lentil pudding baked in a pie dough, salted caramel nuts, boiling cream drizzle. Everything including the drinks is beautifully presented and tasted awesome. My personal favourites were: Khazana Lassi, Black Forest Truffle Chicken Tikka, King Curry, Laal Mirch Naan, and Shahi Halwa Pie. The surprising components of the dishes were the fruits in the Khazana Lassi, mushroom and truffle marinade, crunchy papadums, the redness of the Laal Mirch Naan, and inside of the dessert. There is an extensive selection of mocktails, cocktails, appetizers, mains (vegetarian), mains (chicken), mains (seafood), mains (lamb), biryani, specialty breads, salads, and desserts. Phew! They even have kids meals (yes they have a few high chairs for young children). Khazana has 3 locations: Brampton (2014), Milton (2019), and Toronto (2022). The restaurant chain is owned by two partners: Akshay Nayyar and a father-son team (Shailesh & Shreyas Gangwani). There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms and a third washroom for family/wheelchair accessible. There is limited street parking but there are two big paid parking lots nearby.

Khazana is a modern fine dining Indian restaurant located in the heart of Toronto near the Eaton Centre and Yonge-Dundas Square. The chefs in this Toronto restaurant are trained by celebrity chef, Sanjeev Kapoor. Khazana's other locations can be found in Milton, Brampton and Hamilton. The modern fusion menu showcases foods influenced by many regions in India. The chefs focus on using quality ingredients while minimizing the use of butter and cream. The dine in and takeout menus are accessible through QR code system. I came here with hubby and a small group. We chose a variety of menu items including: Appetizers: Black Forest Truffle Chicken Tikka ($27) Clay oven charred chicken morsels with a mushroom and truffle marinade and mathania chili cream. Served on a skewer and bed of naan. Original Recipe Bhatti Murg Tikka ($23) The original recipe chicken tikka with home made spice marinade, and served with mint onion chutney. Sous Vide Lamb Chops ($32) Buttered asparagus, Andhra potatoes, mint and cashew sauce. The lamb was tender and perfectly cooked. Jodhpuri Papad Paneer Tikka ($22) West Indian chilli marinated cottage cheese, loaded with crunchy papadums & served with mathania peri-peri dip. Tandoori Parmesan Soya Chaap ($20) 24 hour marinated charred smokey soya skewers, parmigiana gremolata torched at the table. Must try! Main Courses: King Curry (butter chicken) ($24) Slow roasted chicken morsels in a buttery tomato gravy, finished with a dash of cream. Queen Curry - Paneer Makhani ($23) Fresh cottage cheese in a buttery tomato cream gravy. The sauce is poured into the bowl table-side. Creamy and delicious. Biryani: Shrimp Chettinad Biryani ($28). Delicious prawns curried with coconut milk and pot sealed with dum rice. The rice was still piping hot, and there was plenty of shrimp in this dish. Less spicy than other biryanis I've tried. Naan: We tried 3 different types of naan: Saffron and Almond Naan ($6.75) , Cheese and Tomato Naan ($6.25), & Garlic and Chive Naan ($6.00). I particularly enjoyed the saffron and almond naan, for the textural interest that the sliced almonds provided, and because I've not had this anywhere else. We also ordered several cocktails and some non-alcoholic drinks. These were not only visually tantalizing but refreshing to the palate. The food and drinks were all presented and plated beautifully. All of the dishes had the perfect mild to moderate amount of spice, with the option for increased spice level upon request. My favourite items include: -Homemade cider -- I really enjoyed this non-alcoholic cider accentuated with the warmth of ginger beer and mulled spices, which had refreshing notes of mint. -Jodhpuri Papad Paneer Tikka -- I appreciated the contrast of textures, between the firm but creamy paneer and crisp papadum topping -West Indian Tandoori Parmesan Soya Chaap -- torched tableside, with the most amazing creaminess and smoky flavours -King Curry - I enjoyed the tender pieces of chicken and the delicious sauce, which was best enjoyed with the delicious naan Despite it's location in the heart of the city, this venue felt nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown core. The restaurant is spacious, with an upscale yet unpretentious feel. Multiple seating areas, including modern upholstered booths, help to create an elevated yet cozy and romantic experience, suitable for a date night or celebration. There are several parking garages nearby Yonge-Dundas Square or at the Eaton Centre if you're driving, or limited street parking can be found within walking distance from the restaurant. As the restaurant is located directly across the Eaton Centre, it is easily accessible for those taking transit. If you're looking for an upscale dining experience in the downtown core, I highly recommend Khazana. read more

Really poor service. 1) They brought kadhai paneer when we had ordered kadhai chicken. Then they rechecked order, apologized and brought correctly again. 2) They brought butter tandoor roti when we had ordered without butter. Then they rechecked order, apologized and brought correctly again. 3) We had ordered onion and they brought it after we were done with dinner 4) Taste of kadhai chicken was horrible and even all tandoori appetizers they had put some gravy curry on all. $200 wasted. Hopefully this review will help others to make better decision or sanjeev kapoor will wake up and serve better and send refund. read more

Vinny and Ekam was our server. They were great... and the place is a nostalgic childhood dream.

We were celebrating a friend's birthday so thought of coming to Khazana yesterday. The whole experience was a disaster but for the hostess Nandini. We had a reservation for 4, when we arrived, we weren't greeted, they weren't aware of our reservation but then seated us. The whole team was wandering aimlessly and didn't make any effort to ask if we would like to start off with some water or a drink. After waiting for 15 minutes, we called one of them, he ignored us and just walked away. After some more time, we called again someone came to our table. We placed our order for drinks and our friends showed up at that time. They informed the staff they were meeting us, gave our name and the hostess went around the restaurant, told them nobody was there but they could sit anywhere. We saw them and asked them to come to our table. The rest of drinks were ordered, we waited again for quite some time and my husband had to call the staff to remind them of our order. The drinks had been ready, sitting at the bar, ice had already melted in the cocktails. The drinks seemed quite watered down. The service was excruciatingly slow and each time we had to remind the staff that we were waiting. We ordered the vegetable sampler and it took forever to come. In the meanwhile, Akshay Nayyar came to our table and asked if everything was going well. We told him about our experience and he got quite irate reminding us that he is the best at what he does and bad mouthing other restaurants. We told him that we weren't really complaining but wanted to enjoy and celebrate our friend's birthday. A new hostess was sent to our table, Nandini and it was only because of her that we stayed and ordered dinner. The food was average and the portions small, we have dined at other restaurants around the world and downtown TO and this was a let down. They brought a "celebration brownie" for our friends birthday, a nice gesture we thought then charged us $14 for it! They charged us for drinks that we never ordered. We didn't check the bill before paying as it was our friend's birthday and feel cheated. We thought this was a reputable Indian restaurant with Sanjeev Kapoor's name on it, don't be fooled. Their modus operandi seems to be to make a fool of tourists that will probably only visit once. For residents of TO like us, last night was a disappointment escalated by how we were cheated. read more

Food is tasty and the ambiance was good. Customer service was extremely poor. I had to wait literally 10 minutes for sugar and I was given a toothpick instead of a stir stick. Slow customer as there was only 2 tables with customer. Also little expensive for the Potion sizes. read more

A terrible disappointment. Uber order today. Below average, artificial tasting food with absolutely no character to the dishes. Bhatti murg tikka was the best dish of the worst Uber eat order I ever did of a most unauthentic Indian restaurant. The Queen curry was the piece da resistance that massacred all hopes of saving this order. A bastardized concoction of truly lifeless ingredients with the most horrible rubbery paneer, sour tomato based curry. Hands down this abomination of a place will win the worst Indian restaurant in downtown Toronto. Considering how atrocious some other places are that's a feat. All 3 breads were a disgrace to be called roti or para thaa. The Salan murg biryani was below average, greasy, salty and had chunks of onion skin. A nightmare of a restaurant that likely caters to Caucasian's taste buds with not an iota of authenticity or capturing the soul of Indian cooking. read more

Expensive but tasty food. The style of Khazana is definitely chic with Indian pop music playing over the speakers and a dark interior featuring ample black marble. I ordered the 24k Dal Flambe. My meal was delicious and lighting the dish on fire before eating it was a fun touch. I would be remiss to mention the extra charges applied by the restaurant when you dine in. First, the rice is not complimentary as in most Indian restaurants and costs 7 CAD per serving (not for unlimited rice). Second, you will also be charged 7 CAD for the sparkling water that is sitting on the table. I still think the food is excellent here, but the charges can add up if you are not careful. Overall, I would recommend Khazana even at the high prices. read more

We ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, and rice. Chicken was overcooked. Worst part was vomiting it all up amid spats of explosive diarrhea 3 hours later. Ended up going to the hospital for four hours with severe dehydration. Stay far away read more

To keep it short and to the point the dishes I ordered were good. I had the 24k dal flambe, queen curry, butter naan and plain rice. The dishes seemed to have real ghee in it which is a big plus. What I didn't like is that the waiter didn't tell me that the water he offered me costs $7. Another thing was that rice wasn't included in any of the dishes. I had to order it which is normal in many Indian restaurants but considering the prices you might think that rice is included but no. It's a fancy place obviously but paying $8 for plain rice that costs a few cents to make is ridiculous. It's a rip off and not fancy. The drinks were equally overpriced. Service was okay and it was very busy on a Saturday night. Long story short. You can have delicious Indian cuisine elsewhere without breaking your bank. It doesn't have to be expensive to be good because I have eaten at different places and some of them were equally good as this one and much more affordable. Also they don't have cash. read more

2 visits - 1'st one was very good. Paner Makhni and Kadhai Paneer were nice. 5 stars. 2'nd one was not so good - 3 stars -The service was mediocre and so was the food. Queen curry was not so good. Consistency seems to be an issue. Gotta try this place once more. read more

We would definitely recommend this place for a good Indian meal. read more

(1)Very High waiting time.. approx. 30 min to serve appetizer and 45 min to server main course. Which means you have to almost wait for total 1hr 15 min once you order. (2)Taste & Quality: Chef Sanjeev Kapoor is known for his food taste and presentation, but this restaurant is not justifying Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's name at all in term of food taste and presentation. (3)Mismanaged: Frequent and repeatable mistake in serving one table order to other table at dine-in. totally messed-up. (4) Overall below average in all aspects. read more

The main problem was that the food quality did not match the prices. The food wasn't bad, but charging $27 for a curry with no included rice ($10) or bread ($7) is too much even if it's a really good curry (which to be honest, it wasn't). I get that this place is downtown and they charge downtown prices but I could have gone somewhere else still downtown and gotten good food for half the prices that this place was charging. Also, if you look for the prices online, the prices on their website are completely different (around $10 dollars lower) from their prices on the menu. Secondly, the wait staff were ok, there were really only two of them but they failed to answer questions we had about the food with good answers. Furthermore, when we sat down the server started pouring water for us, come to find out the water was $7 at the end when we paid. They even tried to offer us a second bottle without disclosing that they charged money for it. It also took a long time for our food to arrive, especially given that we were one of two tables that had people sitting. Also, looking at some of the reviews on this site, most, if not all of the 5 star reviews look like they've been paid for! Just look at how they're written! 3 of them start with "Khazana is a modern Indian fine dining restaurant" and all look like the images are professionally taken and there's no way that these images were taken by a normal customer. I will not be returning to this restaurant and I strongly advise others to not go there and take the 5 star reviews with a grain of salt. read more
