The service was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The ambience was also fantastic--welcoming, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxed meal. Viraj was exceptional and provided excellent service and recommendations. We had a couple of Mango Lassis, Afghani kebabs, chicken tikka masala,palak paneer as well as garlic naans and lachha paratha. All were prepared well and quite tasteful. Overall, a great combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Came here in our last day in Toronto. You walk in and it smells amazing. Food was amazing and lived…read moreup to expectations but the service was sub-par. Made a reservation for 2 people at 8pm and was not seated until a bit after 8:20pm. They did not offer anything to make up for the wait. It looked like they gave our table away on accident because there was a couple that had just sat down. And we were about 10 min early so it's not that we were late and they gave it away. It would have been nice to at least have offered a drink or dessert, especially since there is not standing space/waiting room so you have to awkwardly hover near the front of the place. What was even more annoying is when we finally sat, they actually came to take orders from a table that sat down AFTER us first. Again, not sure if the waitresses were new but it was getting super late and we had just driven for 3 hours so we're hungry and had an early flight the next day and still had to go return our rental at the airport and check-in to the hotel. Hence, we came to a place that had a reservation. I ordered a herbal tea (Gulaabo) to start with since I love Rose flavor and then the Chaat Papri to hold us over. It took a while for even that to come out because as soon as it did come, 5 min later our actual dishes came out and there was very little space on the table. I ordered the Saffron lamb Korma and my coworker had the Chicken Tikka Masala. The lamb was perfection and the curry sauce amazing. The saffron flavors really blended well with the cashew creamy sauce and the lamb was so tender and absorbed the flavors so well. I had the spicy naan to eat it with and it was delicious. My coworker enjoyed her chicken tikka as well though the chicken could have been cut smaller so that it got a bit. Orr tender with the sauce. It took a while to get our check after we requested it right when the food came. Overall, satisfied with the food but not the service.

Weekday lunch buffet is from 11:30am-4:30pm & only $16.99…read more Most dishes were decent & a few were pretty good, though the rasam soups were quite dilute. Ironically since this is a South Indian place, the butter chicken was the best curry (though the chicken pieces seemed to be yesterday's Tandoori chicken & were on the dry/tough/bony & non meaty side). There was one seafood item (fish curry). Nothing was labelled & they put desserts beside food items, so sweet rice porridge was beside 2 spicy soups & deep fried bananas were beside Tandoori chicken. This led to some surprising mouthfuls. Nothing was labelled & they put desserts beside food items, so sweet rice porridge was beside 2 spicy soups & deep fried bananas were beside Tandoori chicken. This led to some surprising mouthfuls. Dosa (served to the table) was thin & crispy but tasted a bit burnt & the fermented lentil taste was not as good as usual. Parotta was really good - thin, flaky & crispy. Even when old it was still pretty good.  The fried bananas were good with sweet bananas & thin batter. Fruit cocktail was just canned fruit in diluted mango puree.

There was only one server at the time when I went in. Food was good and portions were huge, great for sharing. I got: Chicken biryani (serves 2) 4/5 - This was in massive portions with a mountain of rice and full chicken legs hidden throughout. It was topped with an egg sliced in half, some sauced chicken breast pieces and raw onion. I thought that there wasn't enough raw onion for the ratio of the rice. Also came with a yogurt sauce to help with the spice. Overall, very flavourful, delicious and great for sharing. Butter chicken with garlic naan 5/5 - Thought this was delicious, creamy, tomatoey, and had the perfect amount of spice. Garlic naan was already crispy and paired well with the butter chicken. I devoured this one and wanted more. Overall, a solid place for dinner or lunch. Portions are huge, especially if it's the biryani. Be prepared to pack your food to go since portions are large.

I took my seat and ordered some food. Here's what we had: - Tandoori - 7/10: The taste was fine, but I deducted 3 points because it seemed like the tandoori was fried. - Mutton Roast - 10/10: The mutton was soft and incredibly flavorful. - Hyderabadi Chicken - 10/10: Spicy and flavorful, it was delicious. The spice level is intense, but enjoyable. - Amravati Chicken - 10/10: My first time trying this dish, and it was great. It was slightly sweeter than the Hyderabadi Chicken. - Malai Kofta - 10/10: Paired with naan, this was my favorite. Highly recommended for vegetarians. To end our delicious dinner, we had: - Mango Blast - 10/10 - Rasmalai - 10/10 I've already pinned this place to come back soon. Shoutout to Savni, our server, who was great!

This place opens at 5 pm so no lunch .... open for late night dinner till 2 am. Went in , restaurant had an overwhelming bouquet of Indian food , after few minutes felt like their exhaust was not working and all kitchen smoke was flowing in . Not good for dine in but we resisted n ordered chicken tikka masala n dal makhani with garlic butter naan .First the servers are not dine in friendly as we ordered the server said " u will have to wait for 50 min as we are too busy with take out orders " , though the restaurant was almost empty with 2 tables occupied . We were patient n waited . To our good luck food arrived in 38 minutes . Vooooooo yeah ! Food looked appetizing , tried the crispy butter garlic naan with dal makhni n chicken tikka masala . To my surprise the food was tasty . Though it lacked authenticity but it was a great creation by the chefs toward the success of the gourmet ! Most irritating n uncalled in the whole experience was the lack of oxygen in the restaurant to breathe with all the smoke around . Though the food experience was good but I may not visit again due to unhealthy ambience . 3 stars for the food !!!!

The dining room commits fully to its aesthetic, awash in jewel toned light and ornamental flourishes that lean more nightclub than tandoor, and the effect is disarming in the best way. Service arrives with genuine warmth rather than practiced formality, attentive without hovering, the sort of charm that makes a table linger longer than planned. The kitchen's output justifies the theatrics. Dishes are plated with a flair suited to celebration rather than austerity, clearly composed for sharing, passing, and debating around the table. The cocktail list looked every bit as inventive as the food, promising a reason to return and taste one properly. This is a restaurant built for gathering. Pull together a group, order broadly, and let the room's energy do the rest.
