I stumbled upon this place today while walking around my neighbourhood. I love Indian food so, of…read morecourse, I had to investigate. Apparently, they've only been open a couple of weeks. Walking in, the space is mostly kitchen, with no seating (under COVID conditions). The previous (burger) restaurant that occupied this space before had only two tables of two and a counter in the window. There are currently two tables of four set up under a tent in the parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant. These tables could have been cleaner. In addition to TV screens hanging from the ceiling, there is a large menu on the wall with (I'm guessing) their six most popular items. I ordered the Tandoori(?) chicken from this menu. It included two leg quarters, salad, rice, naan, and a drink for only $9.99. Not a bad deal. It took about fifteen minutes for my order to be completed. A few other customers were ahead of me, also waiting, some impatiently. Once ready, I sat at one of the tables out front. Hmmm, no napkins? Only a spoon to eat with? Where's my drink? Once I got that sorted, it was time to eat. The chicken was a tad on the dry side and the flavours a bit understated. The salad consisted of lettuce, cucumbers, and red onions. The naan was large and fresh. The rice was plentiful, nice and fluffy. I'm used to bolder flavours in Indian cuisine. Overall, it was just okay. I'm used to bold flavours but I found the chicken a bit underseasoned. While the food wasn't bad, it wasn't as good as I was anticipating. Hopefully, these issues will be sorted out in time. PS - The fly strips hanging in the restaurant were a bit of a turn off.

We recently moved to the Ajax neighborhood and came across this highly-rated Indian restaurant--and…read moreit didn't disappoint! We tried the popular Chole Bhatura and the Veg Thali, where I got to choose two curries from the entire menu, plus a sweet dish at the end. The flavors were fantastic, and everything was light on the stomach. We especially enjoyed the pickles they had on each table. Service was quick, and the staff was courteous, even letting us know in advance what wasn't available. They also served onions with the Chole Bhatura, which was a nice bonus! We loved the service, ambiance, and food. Highly recommend both dining in and takeout--one of the best Indian cuisines I've had in Toronto so far!

I love Indian and Pakistani food and I finally had the chance to drop in at The Darbar, one of…read moreDurham's newer restaurants, opened in February, 2023. I had their Butter Chicken, one of my favourite dishes, and a Butter Naan, sold a la carte. Both were good, although I've had better. There was lots of sauce in the butter chicken but not as much chicken as I had hoped for. With several restaurants in the area offering similar menus, The Darbar may not be my first choice next time...

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

We ordered the Chana / keema / paratha plate as can be seen in the pictures. It came with one chai, halwa and some achaar. This has got to be one of the best Pakistani breakfasts I've had here in Mississauga. The service was also quick and efficient. We got our meal only after a small wait. Interior was nice with plenty of seating but again, was very busy and loud. Giving it a 4 stars only because the interior seemed a bit tight of space due to the amount of people.

Employees could at least have a welcoming nature. Ordered food which was a bit to blunt without basic garnishes like ginger or chillies. When asked for it, staff handed over raw stuff.

No staff around, no one checking in..nothing.And customers are entitled to get a receipt and copy of it is not for throwing away. When we asked for it attitude again.

On my quest to try new restaurants this year, Butt Karahi was definitely on my list…read more The restaurant itself is really nice inside with a variety of seating options. Regular tables, comfy casual chairs or hightop benches in little alcoves. There are TV's everywhere so I imagine this place is quite active during game nights and other events. We came early evening during Ramadan so I'm sure it was the calm before the storm (so-to-speak). We were greeted at the door and offered anywhere we wanted to sit in the restaurant. They don't have paper menus so you'll have to either scan a QR code or go to their website to look at the menu. Our server walked us through some of the dishes and explained how some of the dishes were presented. We opted for the rice dish, Yakhni Pulao and garlic naan with butter. The dish was big enough to share between two to three people and I would have only needed to order one naan as they're quite large. The veal was so tender and delicious and the rice was extremely flavourful. The dish over all had the slightest amount of heat. Nothing overwhelming, just a nice slight warmth. If you don't like spice, I'm sure it's something they could leave out. The naan was incredibly delicious and I would definitely order the garlic one again. I was really impressed with restaurant. From the staff to the layout to the food, everything was excellent and I left (before the rush that was sure to come after sundown), with a very happy belly! I will definitely be back.

Well, the food came and it was delicious. We started off with some kebabs which were great, but it was the karahi that really impressed - the classic was excellent but the malai was our favourite. Despite their name, there is nothing ass about this restaurant - definitely recommend!
