Went there today for WInterlicious, it was great. Website says opens 11am so called 1045am to confirm, they're like yes we are ready to serve at 11, so cool. Went like 1115, nice and open, nice restaurant, classy, beautiful sunny day. Got chili chicken, wasn't chili at all, but was fine, crispy, tasty, nice bowl of it. Then Beef as my main. Was okay, tender, tasty, beautiful sauce to soak up the curry. Nice! Had little leftovers too. Service was fine. Dessert was some carrot thing, pudding like, but with texture, nuts on top, and WARM! WARM! Tasted amazing. For $20 I thoroughly enjoyed this lunch. Would definitely go back. read more

The food is absolutely fantastic. Really rich and flavour curries. And the different rice options are wonderful. Today I had the Jeera rice and Paneer Makhani. Flavour and texture were spot on. Highly recommend this place read more

Found this gem close to my home. Came here for quick dinner after an exhausting day of home chores. They are open till 11pm on Saturday which worked for us! Food was very tasty. The crew is very professional. The place is clean and well kept. Parking could get challenging but we found a spot right outside the restaurant. We had paneer tikka masala and garlic naan. Got some cutlets as an appetizer. Everything was great! read more

Don't let looks deceive you. This little restaurant / take-away doesn't look particularly great from the outside, but the food more than makes up for it. There is a vast but not overwhelming variety of curries and other typical Indian dishes available, most of which can be customised to a spicy heat level of your desire. The naan breads are cooked to order and so good, especially the Keema Naan, stuffed with flavourful meat. I was very impressed with the food, it's the closest I've found to a typical "British style" Indian restaurant in Toronto. I will definitely be ordering from here in the future. read more

4.5 stars. Consistently delicious! Our go-to Indian delivery!! LOVE their Butter Chicken, Mattar Paneer, Palak Paneer, Dal Makhani, Lamb/Beef Vindaloo/Paneer/Rogan Josh, Peas Pulao (peas & rice), Naan, Garlic Naan, Whole Wheat Chapathi!! All winning dishes. The only ones we haven't liked so far were the: Aloo Baigan (too oily) and the raita (disappointing and too expensive for what you get). read more

I was having some Indian food cravings and this place was near my work so I thought I would give it a try. Hands down the best Naan I ever had! It was so crispy. Their lunch menu was pretty good. Perfect portions and good variety of food for cheaper price. read more

Tasty food, good potions, small family restaurant atmosphere. Service was great. First time there but would definitely go again.

Ordered take out and for the most part were pretty happy with the order. Portions are larger but matches the price. Love the kid options and the different bread selections were great as its not usual to have that large a selections Palak paneer and Lamb curry were a hit for us- will need to try out more of the menu soon read more

We ordered from here recently, and it was delicious! I did fine the "mild-medium" paneer tika a little hotter than I expected, but it was so tasty anyways. We will definitely try this place again! read more

I get delivery from this place whenever I have a craving and so far I think it's my favourite Indian restaurant in Toronto. The depth of flavour in the dishes is incredible. Adding at least a touch of spice is highly recommended! The takeout portions are super generous too, usually lasts me at least three days. Hooray for having to cook less! read more

We are lucky to have this gem in the neighbourhood! Delicious food and good portions!! The wait for the food can be a little long at times but worth it! They are the only place that has Poori (fried naan-like bread) which I love!! They're yellow dhal, chaana masala, aloo gobi are A+ and the fried cauliflower appetizers are tasty!! You won't be disappointed! read more

I came here for a dosa as I was craving one. Service was fast and friendly but the dosa was very thick and spongy, none of it was crisp at all. I was very disappointed. The sambar was good, the coconut chutney had a very weird flavor. The masala potatos inside were big chunks with runny liquid, nothing I've ever experienced before and very strange. Normally it's one of my favourite meals but I will have to find somewhere else to go for dosa. read more

Amazing Indian restaurant. The papadum is fire roasted not fried. The portions are great for the price. The rice and naan are fresh. The aloo hobo is one of the best over tried. My boyfriend enjoyed his chicken vindaloo. The staff are professional and very attentive. It's a nice restaurant for sit down, or take out. Please note that medium spicy is very spicy. I would come again! read more

Our go-to Indian restaurant is Chutneys but they are so damn expensive. I'm all about paying for good quality but when 2 dishes and plain rice cost over $50 with delivery, it becomes questionable. We decided to give this place a go and I'm glad we did. The flavours remind me more of southern Indian dishes (less rich and creamy) but I'm okay with that. The flavour is on point which is key! I would most definitely order from them again. read more

Had a meal delivered yesterday, it was the worse food I've eaten. I have eaten many fine Indian meals from London and across America and Canada but this was the absolute worse ever. So the order was veggie pakora they were dry as hell and clearly just refried, malai kofta these dumplings were nice but the sauce was cold, aloo palak this was just bland as anything it was just pure green blandess, chicken kurma was the worse and dangerous (a piece of chicken was cover and wrapped in plastic), the last items was a keema naan and plain naan both were fine and a plain rice. It was so bad especially the da house plastic wrapped chicken. After a call to the restaurant and being passed onto the manager all he expressed was humms and arhhhhs. After saying it was very off putting and not a great impression he did seem to care. This place will never get my business again and I hope some people in the catering and food industry take more pride in not just what's produced but have an action plan ready to rectify issues. read more

Kothur Indian Cuisine - The plastic that was wrapped around a piece of chicken. - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We were visiting Toronto and we were in the mood for a change of pace in terms of food. We are certainly familiar with Indian cuisine so we looked up a few and decided on this one! Absolutely fantastic! We ordered the beef masala and the tandoori chicken! Both were fantastic and the Naan was out of this world! If you're in the mood for a kick in your food, you've got to visit this place! read more

Great little hole in the wall type of restaurant - very cosy with lovely live music on Saturday night to complement the meal. The menu is extensive and we haven't ordered anything bad to date. Portion sizes are generous, lots of flavour for reasonable price.... Staff is courteous and knowledgeable about the food. I can't comment on take out / delivery experience, I know sometimes it differs from a sit down meal. read more

I recently ordered the vadas and Sambar to go along with a madras coffee. I fully expected the vadas to lose their crispiness on the outside and would have been ok with that, however, they placed 4 very small vadas in a styrofoam container that were soft on the outside and gooey on the inside. They seemed undercooked. The sambar was thick in consistency which is not that I was expecting - sambars are usually light and help cut into the oil that the accompanying food is cooked in. Lastly the madras coffee tasted ok as a latte but was definitely not a madras coffee. I don't think I will be returning here read more

Hands down one of my favourite indian food restaurants in the GTA. Amazing butter chicken, naan and actually, everything is just fantastic. Make sure to try the mango lassi's here if you like that sort of thing. They're excellent! And the staff are very friendly. read more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST! honestly give them a shot you won't be disappointed. Not over is the butter chicken my favourite in the city but they always get my order right. I like to order extra butter chicken sauce and they always accommodate that. ALSO best service they were close to closing but got my order to me without any hassle. I HIGHLY recommend this place for some great Indian food. read more

This is the same as the old Everest (which was across the street.) The Butter Chicken is delicious. Combined with the Lemon rice and Naan bread it is a wonderful meal. If you don't have time to eat in they do take-away to. read more

My little dog doesn't even bark at the delivery man from Kothur any more, he knows him so well! This is my go-to treat at the end of the week, and my regular order of two main dishes and a couple of sides comes to just a little over $30. Portions are so large that it keeps me going for a couple of days! My personal favourites are Palak Paneer and ANY of their biryanis. All breads (nans and parathas) are delish and I can't can't can't resis their rice pudding. Sometimes, though, it's lovely to visit the restaurant and enjoy the ambiance and friendly service. Nothing negative about Kothur. Nothing! read more

Just had a great dinner at Kothur with friends. 2 of the people with us were pregnant, therefore we had asked for a mild meal - which we did get. The food was rich and creamy, but somewhat tasteless. The business caters to its local audience, and not to the Brampton/Mississauga crowd - which they have done well. We ordered the Paneer Makhni, Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta,and an app plate. As a Mimico/Long Branch local - this is my favorite indian restaurant when I do not want to drive 35 mins. Would I go back? - YES!! (and I'll be ordering the food Spicy!) read more

Fantastic meal start to finish! This is definitely the best Indian in the area. Onion Bhajia was crisp and tasty well complemented by the mint and tamarind chutneys. My wife's vegetarian Rasam soup was perfectly balanced. The Chicken Chettinadu had layers of roasted, peppery flavors, and the spice level at medium to hot was perfect. If they would switch out the chicken breast for boneless thighs this dish would be out of this world. The Veg tandoori sizzlers were perfectly cooked, and the flavors were spot on, but enough with the onions. They need to get a little more creative with their veggie selection. We loved the lemon rice on its own and with the sizzlers, but the plain rice went far better with the Chettinadu. Finally, the South Indian Paratha was a revelation, one of the very best I've had anywhere in the world. A top notch neighborhood Indian, but with a little more attention to detail, this place could be world class. read more

One of the best in the area. It's way cheaper than the fancier Indian across the road from it, but not at all compromising. Lots of the standard variety, tasty curries, quick delivery in the area, and friendly staff. It's kinda a standard go-to Indian takeout... Especially for the North American pallet, but it's solid comfort food and reheats like a champ for lunch the next day. read more

Kothur has the best naan bread in the whole city. I live in Thornhill and I travel all the way downtown just to get their food. Their lunch specials are amazing- excellent value for the price. They give generous portions and it's cooked fresh, made to order. Their butter chicken and rice is delicious. I cannot say enough good things about Kothur. They are also so friendly and even call you to let you know it's ready for pick up- not many restaurants would do this. If you love Indian food as much as our family does, you will not be disappointed. read more

Last Night (Oct 16th, 2017 at 9pm) I had the worst experience ever while placing an order over the phone at your establishment. I have never experienced this as I have been ordering food and been visiting your businesses (Kothur & Everest Hakka) for more than 5yrs. The lady (Manvi) who spoke to me was the rudest person I have come across at your establishment.  The first time when I called to place the order I was asked for my mobile no and she knew that I have been a customer as she could find my details in your system. I placed an order for a dish that is sold at Everest Hakka and was told in a rude manner that this is Kothur and not Everest Hakka. I told her that's fine and after discussing it with my guests decided to cal back.   She answered the call again and I told her it's me and the response from her was very very cold. There was no greeting and she came across as not interested in taking my order. I asked her if she has any issues to take down my order as I am a customer who is paying for the food and wants to place an order and her behaviour is coming across as very very rude. The response that i get from her is that "If you feel I am rude it's your problem". I couldn't believe the attitude and the response that i was hearing. I reminded her that the first time that I called I felt she was rude as well so the response I get from her is that they were busy(I was placed on hold by her for 2 mins). These are no grounds to be rude to your customers who pay for their food. Manvi has no etiquette regarding customer service. How difficult is it to take an order over the phone? I know Santosh who runs Everest Hakka and how good he and his employees have been to me whenever I have visited them or have placed an order over the call. This is so disappointing as I have been referring my friends to your restaurants. Thanks to her my day and my guests had the worst conversation over dinner.  Note to Owner: Please take care of this situation as this is hurting your business. read more

Best Indian food in the city! Small clean restaurant- ambiance is quaint- service is excellent- food is out of this world! You've got to try eating at this Mimico hidden treasure- you will not be disappointed ! read more

I have eaten here many times. It is rare that you see a restaurant that offers both North Indian and South Indian cuisine. The South Indian dishes (dosa,idli,etc.) are well cooked, the meat dishes are also well made. However, I am not a fan of the assorted meat dish. The masala tea is also very good. Overall a very good place and I highly recommend it if you are in the South Etobicoke/Mississauga area. read more

THE BEST! Indian food .. They have raised prices a bit in recent years...but still very reasonable Amazing cooks ..on Saturday nights the live performer (singer) Great lunch special Respectful staff Just great overall read more

Solid northern indian place in Mimico. Went to get take-out and noticed large Indian family dining there as I was walking up. Good sign! We had samosas, naan, butter chicken, chickpeas and the blended spinach dish (without cheese). Everything was excellent, and very flavourful. Both the veggie samosa and naan were impressive. Far above standard fare. Samosa was beautifully crisp yet moist on the inside, and the Naan was fluffy - and very large. Enjoyed the butter chicken a lot; not too runny and beautiful pieces of tender chicken. Both spinach and chickpeas were tasty as well, albeit I found chickpeas slightly underdone. Next time will be trying more meat dishes. Happy to see a local place thriving! read more

We've followed Kothur from the original Everest on Lakeshore W. Food is as good in the new location but seats were more like fast food seating. My husband and I mentioned to the waitress about it & the next visit we were pleasantly surprised by the new seats. Looks more intimate & cozier. Thanks for listening to your guests and taking action Loved the food. I've not found any Indian restaurant that I enjoy as much as Kothur on Lakeshore. It's a little gem! Chicken Korma & Sag Paneer are our fav read more

This is the best Indian restaurant in Toronto and easily one of the best restaurants in Etobicoke. I have been enjoying their menu since they opened. Their food is very flavorful and consistent in quality. Delivery can take a long time but is well worth the wait. A few items I recommend are: gobi manchurian, muttar paneer and the chicken vindaloo. I highly recommend Kothur to anyone. They are very accommodating to allergies and spice level preference and will alter dishes as required. read more

Went with a group of friends for Sunday lunch. We all ordered the $7.99 lunch special. Tasty but everyone left still a bit hungry. FYI, we thought the bowl of rice that was brought to the table was kinda large for one person but, once we discovered it was meant for all four of us to share, we freaked! read more

Food was better than average but the staff needs training. They were finding it difficult to place vessels and make enough space on the table. We had to move stuff around ourselves. Also they initially gave us just a knife and fork which I think is silly for an Indian restaurant, because it's difficult to eat most Indian dishes especially the ones with Rice without a spoon. Also the tables need to be replaced or at least covered using some good table cloths as they have scratches, dents etc read more

Ordered with skip the dishes. Took them a few minutes to confirm my order and about an hour to prepare it, this is an extremely long time for a takeout order. The portions were quite small. I had the butter chicken and onion Bhaji. Both were really dry, the bhaji was SO bland, it seemed stale and tasted mostly like dry oil. The butter chicken wasn't the worst ever but it was boring, the cut of chicken had a lot of tendons/those stringy things. Overall honestly I wouldn't waste time or money here if something else is open. read more

I alwaysorder the same thing: Dhal Makhini and Channa Masala. Disappointed tonight. I normally call in and do pick up but tonight I placed my order with Just Eats. Once I got home the Channa was really runny and not the same portion size of chickpeas it normally comes with. Dhal was okay but on the runny side too. Do the skimp out of orders when you use a coupon? seriously not impressed. Or maybe I had a new cook. meh! read more

Best butter chicken in all of Toronto ,generous portions, Great selection of vegetarian dishes, beautifully baked nan bread The best kind it is garlic, inexpensive prices, very friendly staff to go out of their way to make you feel comfortable with their menu... They even ask you your spice level read more

Ordered delivery to our Lakeshore condo while moving in with no idea what was in the area. Went with familiar dishes for our first Kothur experience - butter chicken and fish curry. Both exceeded expectations! Looking forward to trying more from Kothur in the future :) read more

I frequently order the Rogan Josh. It is always delicious and spiced mild to very hot to order. Yesterday they seemed to have a hiccup and delivered something other than what I ordered. The manager phoned me very apologetically today and promised to make things right. He did. Kothur will continue to be my go to Indian restaurant in Etobicoke, and I highly recommend it, not only for the excellent food, but also for the caring customer service. read more
