I got a chance to try out Annalakshmi in Scarborough for a family dinner! This is a pure vegetarian…read moreSouth Indian restaurant with so many items on their menu. It is quite spacious and has a lot of seating to come dine in but does also do take out options. The staff is quite slow here to come take your food and even for your food to come out, so be prepared for that! It took quite some time for one of my friend's dishes to come out while the rest of us had even finished eating. But the staff are very nice and we were seated quite quickly, on the plus side. When it came to the food, everything was pretty good!! We got quite a few appetizers including: Gopi 65 (which was delicious), Chili Idli (would come back just for this) and the Bhaaji. And for our entrees we got the Garlic Parotta with Kurma (would pass on this), Paneer Biryani (was okay), Paneer Masala Dosa (was good) the Mushroom Uthapam (was good) and the Chili Parotta (would pass on this). Overall the food was good, definitely had some dishes I would come back for. If you're looking for some South Indian food in Scarborough I would recommend! 7/10 Recommend!

Always looking for the next best vegetarian restaraunt so naturally I was excited when one came to…read moreScarborough. Price $15-$25 per person Items ordered: -7 Taste Uthappam -Paper Masala Dosa -Gobi Manchurian -Paneer Chettinad -Parotta with Kurma -Parotta with Chana Masala -Sambar Idly Food Quality (Menu, Taste, Portion size) - 5/5 This menu is a vegetarian's dream! I won't lie, I was overwhelmed at first on what to pick, so I highly recommend going with a group so you can try a bit of everything. The portion sizes are great, we had so much leftover! The variety is so nice. Taste wise, every dish had my heart. It was all packed with flavour and tasted authentic. The stars for me were the Paneer Chettinad and Parotta with Kurma. Atmosphere -5/5 The interior of this place is insane! It feels like walking into an emperor's house! All the walls have paintings of hindu gods, and the restaurant is decorated so well. It's pretty big so perfect for smaller or larger groups. I'd try to get a reservation on busier nights. Service - 5/5 The staff is super helpful ! We asked a lot of question on what to order and they were so helpful. They would check in on us to, when it's super busy it happened less frequently but totally understandable. Will I go again? Of Course! I think it's going to be my go to Indian veggie place! Lash's Recommendations -Paneer Chettinad -Paper Masala Dosa -Parottta with Kurma

Tomato soup was good: smooth, sweet & with a good tomato flavour. The croutons were nice. The tandoori chicken was moist. The chicken tikka masala was pretty good & the dal makhani was very smooth. The other cooked dishes were mostly decent, though the kadhai soya paneer was not good: the texture of the paneer could be firmer & the flavour was not great. The garlic naan was not warm but moist & crisp. There was quite a lot of garlic. I got introduced to a new Indian dish, which hasn't happened in a while: shahi tudka: nut cake smothered in whipped cream. It was nice that it wasn't just the usual Indian desserts.

Do you believe in second chances? I do. After a very disappointing visit to Indraprastha in…read moreMarkham, I gave them another chance and I'm glad I did. Their food and service were far better this time around. Unlike the previous visit, food arrived quickly, and sizzling hot, all freshly made, and tasty. The naan was perfectly light and fluffy. The cocktails were refreshing, albeit a little on the sweet side. We had a lot of food, more than we could finish, so we ended up taking some of it home. * Hareyali Paneer * Gangster Gobi * Chicken Manchurian * Garlic Naan * Masala Chicken Lollipop * Butter Chicken * Chicken Dum Biriyani * Chicken Chow Mein * Chilli Garlic Naan * Gulab Jamun * Chocolate Brownie Sizzler Everything was much better this time around. Hopefully, they'll maintain this level of quality and service.

Attended their kids workshop and wow- my daughter had a great time!…read more The staff were amazing, very kind with all the kids at the workshop, and made sure everyone was safe. They even had an apron, hat, and certificate at the end. I think there was a mixup of the dishes at the end, as there were two dishes on the same table, and the dish we ordered shouldn't be spicy but came out extremely spicy. My daughter really enjoyed the butter paneer, very tasty, creamy, and sweet! I hope they have other workshops again!

February 6, 2026 - Probably my favorite Indian restaurant. We got the Pani Puri and dry chili…read moreshrimp for appetizers. The main were curry goat, Rogan Josh beef and butter chicken, aloo Gobi, baingan Barta, and vegetable curry. We also got sides of rice and naan. The appetizers we good too. Definitely a distinct taste. The Pani Puri sauce was cold and you had to eat it quick as the shell melted in your mouth. The dry chili shrimp was a bit spice, but very well flavoured. The basmati rice is also very well made. Firm and easy to eat. All the curries were very distinctly seasoned, each bringing a slightly different flavour to the table. My favourites are the Rogan Josh and the aloo Gobi.

The man roganjosh was absolutely delicious, garlic naan and mix grill platter was very good value. I would stick to the curries, seems like their specialty from the one we tried.

I would recommend the business the extend their hours slightly to allow later clients to be able to stay and finish up and order dessert without whether the kitchen is closing.

I had the pleasure of going here for a family dinner, and I'm really glad we chose this place to eat! Dum Pukht is beautiful decorated with a dark ambiance inside. Lots of seating available, would suggest making a reservation ahead of time to ensure you get seated immediately upon arrival as it can be quite busy. The staff were also super kind and explained all the dishes while also providing alternatives too! We ordered several items off the menu because there was a huge selection to choose from! We started with the Crispy Cheese Balls (9/10 Absolutely delicious and crispy), Tibetian Momo's (7/10 was a little too spicy for my liking), and the Chaat (6/10 on the sweeter end but still good). For the main dishes we ordered some Garlic Naan (10/10 probably one of the best naan's ever), Paneer Tikka Masala (9/10 creamy and delicious), Chicken Vindaloo (8/10 spicy and very flavourful) and lastly the Dum Vegetable Biryani (7/10 a lot of vegetables inside). Overall was such a pleasant experience, also their portion sizes are huge so you really don't need to order a lot if you are coming as a small group. I would highly recommend you come check out Dum Pukht in Markham! 9/10 Recommend!

Upon arriving, the first thing I notice is how dark the restaurant is. Tbh, I think a little too dark for my liking. Food took a looong time to come out but redeemed itself with it's taste and quality! Here's what we got for a party of 4: Chat Papri 5/5 - I might be bias cause I love chat. These were little pockets of crispy wafers topped with chickpeas, diced potatoes and yogurt sauce. It came with 2 sauces to pour into the chat which were mint and tamarind sauce. Loved this! It was a flavour burst in your mouth! Butter Chicken 5/5 - Chicken breast marinated overnight with yogurt and spices. Loved the cream butter tomatoey sauce and paired perfectly with the garlic naan. Can't wait to have this again. Dum-Phukht Biryani 4/5 - This came beautifully presented and opened table side. Thought there was a lot of chicken in there which was nice! Rogan Josh 5/5 - This was hearty and delicious with the lamb. Slow simmered in a rich spiced gravy sauce. Definitely would get this again! Flavourful and spicy. Mixed grill 5/5 - Thought this was a nice mix of meats to share with the table. Came on a grilled platter. Overall, great dining experience and food was fantastic. Only complaints was the waiting time and the super dark interior. Definitely worth a try and will be back for more Indian eats!

My other half and I came here in a Friday afternoon with very low expectations but honestly left…read morefeeling like this place deserves way more credit! This place is located in a plaza on the south side of Steeles and is very unassuming. It's literally called "The Indian Cuisine" - Googling this place is hard because you can't just use a partial name! There is a large red sign but otherwise nothing distinct. Upon entering there isn't a lot of tables and a small buffet visually. But compared to "The Host" this place has a solid selection of food of around 30 items which is plenty, only issue is that they don't refill everything all that quickly so you may need to go back for aby favorites. But there is plenty to go around, pretty freshly made and hot. Better then a tray of food sitting under a heat lamp all morning! The quality of the food was quite decent and didn't taste overly salty. Everything tasted on point and portions of course is AYCE so no problems here! AYCE is only available weekends, so Fri to Sun only from 11:30 to 3pm but very well worth the trip. As of March 2024 lunch buffet was $18.99 for one adult + tax and tip. Unheard of with inflation these days. There was only one guy waiter, refilling food, fresh naan, cashier etc. He did it all, did it fast and with a smile! Really great service! Honestly would not hesitate to go back or recommend. Is this place social media worthy with decor and presentation? I will be honest and say it's pretty plain. But for price, value, food quality? It's really hard to beat! Keep expectations in check and remember you get what you pay for, and most of that goes to the food here! Hope they keep this up!
