Place filled up to capacity by 5:30 pm. My wife had chicken souvlaki, I had chicken parm. Both servings were generous. Chicken good perfectly. The souvlaki was deemed excellent by my wife. My parm I'd rank 4.5 out of 5. Pricing for two out the door with one soft drink and water tip and tax was just under 65$. Now this is not fine dining, but a small step up from roadhouse sports bar dining. Only one downside was noisy. Some sound deadening materials could be used to tamp down the noise. I'm giving this a 4.5 which will show as a 5. Well worth trying out.

It was an open buffet, and the staff checked on us a few times throughout our visit, making sure everything was okay and that we had what we needed. The ambiance was really nice, and I honestly loved the vibe of the place. There was a belly dancer, and she was really nice and added a fun, lively touch to the overall experience. The food was good overall. It wasn't too bad at all, and I enjoyed what I tried, though I do wish there had been a bit more variety to choose from. Even so, everything was still tasty and satisfying. Dessert was also good and a nice way to end the meal. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with good service, a nice atmosphere, and enjoyable food, and I would definitely consider going back.

We wanted to come here for the buffet, but upon arriving, we were told that it was closed (we got…read morethere in the mid-afternoon)... even though we checked open times beforehand online. The take-out counter was open, so we opted for that instead. Most of the foods on display were ready-to-go and vegetarian / vegan. You can also order manakeesh (Lebanese flatbread topped with toppings such as cheese, spinach, and za'atar - akin to thin-crust pizza) to be made on site. We opted for the vegetarian mix-and-match plates, which came with either rice or salad, 5 small sides, and 3 falafels. Most of the items were pretty good, my favourites being the arnabeet (cauliflower), eggplant with chickpeas and tomato-based sauce, bamya (okra), and white cannellini beans salad. The warak enab (also called dolma or stuffed grape vine leaves) was flavourless and had too much ratio-to-grape vine leaves ratio (more rice inside that I'd like). The tabbouleh was way too salty. The other dishes were good though. Although the manakeesh was made fresh to order, it came out pretty fast. It was also extremely salty. There were a few small tables by the take-out counter, for those who wish to eat the take-out items on the spot. They packaged all the items very well to avoid leakage.

My daughter can be pretty picky and wanted to remove nearly every ingredient from her taco and they were co-operative the whole time. And on top of that, all the food was amazing. The manager really went above and beyond to make sure all our various dietary needs were met. He gave my mother samples of nearly everything so she could make an informed decision. Each thing was fabulous.

I have been told that I'm a good planner. It first happened when I was in grade 11. We had a day…read moreoff from school and four of us (all friends) decided to spend the day at the Eaton Centre. I planned where and when we would meet, what part of the Main Street subway station's westbound platform we would meet on, where we'd go for lunch, and more. It wasn't down to the minute, but one of my friends said that it was a good quality to have. I also like the off-the-cuff method. On Wednesdays, during this pandemic, I drive up to Whitchurch-Stouffville to get groceries. Before going into the store, I order takeout. I decided to check out UberEats (I rarely order using this app) to see what was around. I found Plates & Bowls. I noticed a couple of items where you could buy one and get another for free. Naturally, I went for it. I got the following items: - Butter chicken, which comes with rice and your choice of side salad (I went with apple coleslaw) - Chicken kabob paratha (I got another for free) - Aloo paratha (I got another for free) Once I ordered through the app, I went grocery shopping. By the time that I was done, it was perfect to head over to fetch my food. Plates & Bowls is located in the same large plaza as A&W, Winners, Staples, Canadian Tire, and more. It happens to be in a small cluster of businesses away from them. It's next to Thai Villa, which I haven't dropped by in eons, but am thrilled that it's still alive and kicking. There was plenty of parking. I backed into a spot and walked into the eatery. I was greeted by a friendly male staff member as I took photos. I said hi, and then said my name and that I had an UberEats order. My order was ready. He confirmed with a female staff member that my order was complete. She nodded. Yay! I thanked him and walked out. Something different happened to me. An older gentleman saw me come out of the store. He approached me (we both had masks on) and asked what I'd recommend from this place. It was my first visit, so I told him upfront. I did manage to tell him what I had ordered. Without even having my first bite, I suggested getting the butter chicken, because you get it on rice and it comes with a salad. He thanked me. We both wished each other a good evening and I headed to my car and he went inside to order. I'm not sure why he asked me. Maybe that hangry look in my eyes worked? Who knows. I got home and was more than ready to wreck my food. I started off with the chicken kabob paratha. OMG! It's such a simple concept of having morsels of tender tandoori chicken, with sauces and onions, wrapped in a paratha. Delicious! I was so thankful that it was BOGO. I had the second one for breakfast the following day. It tasted even better! I had the aloo paratha. It doesn't have a lot of aloo (potato), which was a bit disappointing. However, it was flavourful with the other spices that were in the paratha that I was not expecting. The butter chicken bowl was a generous size. I actually had the remaining half for dinner the following night. This place does a spin on traditional Indian food, injecting western and middle eastern influences in. The butter chicken was fine the way that it was made. However, I specified getting this shawarma garlicky sauce on the side and it made this dish fantastic! I dipped my aloo paratha in it. I put it on my apple coleslaw. I warded off evil spirits. The garlic game is strong here, which I love. The bowl had basmati rice. It was fluffy and done perfectly. And yes, it was subjected to the awesome garlicky sauce. Let's get to the apple coleslaw. I have been eating a lot of coleslaw within the last year. I never once thought of slicing apples in it. It's the spin that I was talking about. You can also get other salads, such as pesto pasta salad. I enjoyed how crunchy and fresh my coleslaw was. Yummy! This place offers wraps, too. There was a Philly steak wrap, which obviously deviates from the main Indian food vibe. It sounds pretty good that I'd love to give it a try. I had a wonderful experience. I hope that the man whom I suggested getting the butter chicken liked his food, too. I will be back. It's nice seeing so much variety in cuisine in Stouffville, which is another reason why I enjoy dropping by on Wednesdays. (409)

We had the appetizer platter, the tandoori platter, the masala dosa, beef rogan josh, and fish madras. You order rice and naan separately, so we ordered one rice and two naan for four people. I can't recommend the appetizer platter and tandoori platter enough!! You get so much for the price and get to try a bit of everything. The appetizer platter came loaded with various fried goodies. I loved the freshly made samosas. The tandoori platter was the highlight of the meal for me as each type of meat was cooked so well, full of their distinct flavors but still moist and tender. It came in a sizzling smoking hot to the table and we devoured it. The two curries were also delicious, but were overshadowed by my love of the tandoori.

We visited this restaurant on our anniversary. I had heard mixed reviews earlier, so I was a bit…read moreskeptical going in. The ambience is excellent and has a true fine-dining vibe, which makes it a nice setting for a special occasion. However, the service did not match the expectations. We had to wait for water and menus, and the menu cards we received were torn with some pages missing. Considering the pricing is fine-dining level, the overall service experience didn't feel the same. The food itself was quite tasty, especially the chef-recommended dishes. However, the breads arrived slightly burnt, and we had to wait for a fresh batch while the curries were already served. At a fine-dining restaurant, you expect a bit more supervision before dishes leave the kitchen. We also mentioned during reservation that it was our anniversary, but there was no special acknowledgment or attention, which was a bit disappointing, especially while dining with an infant. Overall, while the ambience and food have potential, the service experience didn't quite justify the fine-dining pricing. There are other restaurants that offer a more balanced experience in terms of food and service. If you ever decide to visit the food would be nice.

While I was there, they had a grand opening special for $8. This included your choice of base (garlic rice noodles, salad greens, or seasoned rice), 2 sides, and choice of 1 protein/entree. The sides, which included choices such as chickpea salad, kale ceasar, spicy eggplant, and broccoli pakora, looked fresh and were replenished often. The entrees included spicy beef vindaloo, butter chicken, and railway goat curry. Some vegetarian options were also available. The food was packaged into cardboard boxes (yay for less plastic in landfills!). My husband complained that his portion size for the beef vindaloo was on the smaller side, whereas I found portions for butter chicken to be fairly reasonable. There was certainly plenty of food. I was very happy to have come across this place in the food court, and it is a welcome addition. I thought $8 was a very good deal for the amount of food but I'm not sure how much my meal would cost outside of the special pricing for the grand opening. Nonetheless I would definitely consider adding Good Karma this to my rotation for go-to restaurants at the mall.
