The staff is so kind and welcoming, it really is like being part of the family. During this visit we ordered our fave dishes including the savoury chicken tikka masala and the incredible chicken momos. I wasn't a huge fan of the prawn koliwada fry because of the seasoning, but my family enjoyed it. Our server Jana was very kind and knowledgable. Despite managing tables for half the restaurant, she was efficient in taking our orders and attentive when we needed her to come to our table. We also appreciated her sense of humour and friendliness. We love this restaurant and are so excited they've been expanding to other locations. We can't wait to return for another meal here during our next visit to Canada!

Wow. Just wow. I HATE WRITING THIS REVIEW because I want this place all to myself! There's not a…read more6th star, otherwise I'd give that too as well. Could not write enough good things about our first experience at Bandra Cafe. I have nothing but praise for this restaurant! Words cannot describe how impressed I was by the chef and his wonderful team. I could literally rave about this restaurant for HOURS. Our experience was absolutely exceptional. It's not often that from drinks to dessert you like everything set infront of you! You can truly feel the care and talent behind every plate. Everything is curated down to the smallest detail, and the food is absolutely amazing! This restaurant left me in a food coma. I was so full I couldn't even move but that's when you know the food was really good. What truly sets this experience apart is the owner himself. His warmth, humility, and passion for his craft shine through in every bite and every interaction. From the moment we walked in, we could tell this place was going to be special. The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put real care into every plate. The service, impeccable. Professional and you are treated like you are their best customer at that moment. Bandra Cafe is one of those places where both the food and the service make you want to come back. The first thing that hit me was the smoke and sizzle of the Szechuan Tikka Sizzler. I wasn't ready for this level of heat!! And don't even get me started on the Quesadilla- it's absolutely scrumptious! The truffle fries are a non-negotiable! And of course I had to jump on the dirty soda trend! But the deliciousness doesn't stop there because the Chilli Chicken was pure satisfaction. And my summer mocktail era starts now with this Chili Mango Refresher. Let's just say my cravings were officially handled with the Bang Bang Cauliflower. And a good latte goes a long way! The cutting chai just fixes everything! Every dish was full of flavour, cooked to perfection, and presented beautifully, making it hard to pick a favourite. The food had solid flavours that left us satisfied. The atmosphere is beautiful and lively with a great mix of elegance and comfort that makes the place feel special yet welcoming. From the very first moment, the owner and staff went the extra mile to secure a table for us, offered insightful recommendations that made each dish a perfect choice, and, above all, treated us with such kindness and genuine warmth that we felt right at home. Staff is top level service! You can tell real care and time went into how everything was prepared and presented. That extra attention shows. The attention to detail and dedication to quality shine through in every bite. What really stood out was the ambiance: the decor is stylish, warm, and inviting, making the whole dining experience even better. The decor, lighting, and music created an incredibly comfortable space that made you want to stay longer. Overall, Bandra Cafe is one of those rare places that manages to deliver on both food and experience. I have nothing but top tier, quality experiences and would recommend this place to anyone. Top-notch service, super friendly people, and a cool atmosphere. A place you'll want to return to, again and again. If you're looking for a place where great food, and phenomenal service come together effortlessly, Bandra Cafe is the place to go. This place is definitely a vibe! If you're looking for a restaurant that nails the food, mocktails, and atmosphere all in one, then Bandra Cafe is the place to go! I'll be dreaming about this place until my next visit! This was my first time at the restaurant, and I can attest with much confidence that it will definitely NOT be my last. Do yourself a favour: drop by this place. I promise--you will not regret it.

Dhamaka is a new biryani restaurant that opened last year, I've been meaning to go there but…read morecouldn't find the time so I ordered their biryani on Ubereats. :: Temper chicken biryani - it was spicy but delicious! I would say their one portion is just right for two people. :: Temper paneer biryani - also spicy but did not have as much flavour, the paneer pieces were big so the marination didn't go all the way through. :: Paneer 65 - this was really good and saucy! I would say compared to other biryani places, their portions were a bit smaller and they did not have many veggie options. I would be interested to go there in-person and try some of their other things.

It was Friday night ~7pm and this place and huge and quite empty. We thought this might be a sign that this place is not good but we were soooo wrong. We could not understand the menu so we had to ask the servers to give us recommendations and they were really nice. We ended up ordering a "stuffed potato naan", a lamb curry and a samosa chaat street food dish. And man they were delicious. I've never had a stuffed nan before and it's just so flavorful I have no words to describe it. The dipping sauce that came with it were amazing as well. The lamb curry was also good, but I know how curry tastes so it wasn't as surprising to me. The samosa chaat was very flavorful, spicy and the samosa adds a very nice crunch. This place is really good and I am craving for more as I'm writing this

Restaurant was not that busy when we stopped by shortly after the dinner service started. Price was reasonable at $24 a person. Food selection was decent. However, the food temperature was not hot enough for my liking and was only slightly warm for many of the items. Also, we had to ask for roti as it was not automatically offered. The roti arrived pipping hot. My favourite items were the gulab jamun and kheer as both were served in the appropriate temperatures. The gulab jamun was served warm and the kheer served chilled. I did enjoy trying a number of different types of curries and the flavours were quite delicious. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Service was efficient. Our server stopped by regularly to clear dirty plates and refill water. I would consider coming back to try their lunch buffet to see if it was just a one off day. I do think this restaurant is a great option in the area if they can work out the small details. Overall, it was a 3.5 star experience. I had to knock a star down because of the food temperature.

Good variety and the quality is impressive. I have not checked out the lunch buffet but these pictures i am sharing was part of the dinner buffet. Forgive me for not knowing what majority of these dishes were even called. I assure you it's vegan friendly but if you're a protein lower there's just as much meat choices too! But yes my fave dishes that i was able to make room for me in my belly was the goat curry/ butter chicken/ chili fish/ chickpea curry ... mango flavoured icecream / naan bread. I also snacked on a lot of these colourful looking chips? Haha they reminded me of the asian prawn chips that come on the side of peking duck! If you check this place out please try! I even dipped it in icecream and ooo it was yummy! The service was quite pleasant too. They did an excellent job at replenishing food and checking in with customers to see if we needed more water / naan / napkins etc! Loveeeeeed this! Family friendly place/ ambiance was relaxing for a meal date or even if you wanted to watch sports. They've got massive tvs so if you want to grab drinks it's a perfect place too. Lots of parking outside and they take all types of payments. Hope you enjoy your next food adventure!!

We order from here a few times a year but made it a tradition to get every Valentine's day. This year was no exception and like so many times before they did NOT disappoint. We pretty much always go with the butter chicken, veggie korma and garlic plus regular naan bread with a few samosas on the side. I can't say enough about the absolute mastery of flavours and spices used in each dish. Speaks volumes about how long each toon to get just right. Price point is right on par with any established restaurant so I fine to pay the 75$ for a couple curries and rice especially as they feed you for at least two meals. The owner is usually there when I pick up and always quick to engage in a lively conversation about whatever I choose to. Highly recommend this place. Give it a solid 9.2/10 Mange!
