We came here to try out Indian food and scout for places where we could possibly host a dinner party. After reviewing many many restaurants, we decided to try out Sher-e Punjab who had gotten good reviews. Walking in we could see a big party enjoying dinner a la family style. Good sign! Sitting down we were quickly approached by a server who offered us some water and menus. After going through the menu we decided to start with samosas. One portion contained two samosas, we had one meat samosa and one veggie. The veggie samosa was way better than the meat one. It had a lot more flavour, felt like they forgot to season the meat one. We followed this with an order of sizzling tikka chicken, paneer tikka masala and sizzling paneer. The first two were delicious, very flavorful! The last one sadly was very boring, dry and tasteless. With this we had plain naan, which was freshly made and very good. Included with any meal is papardom with chutney. The portion size was good and we packed the left overs to go. Price was good for this, however let's talk about the bad things. First of all, as i mentioned previously we came here to talk to them to se whether we could have our dinner party here. However, we asked the waitress repetedly to talk to the manager and she kept saying he would come to us in a few minutes. He didn't! The whole dinner passed and we had to leave so we asked one last time upon which a young guy approached us. He was not the manager but took our contact info and promised the manager would call the next day. Let me tell you, he didn't! We kept calling and calling but never seemed to catch him. In the end we decided to have our dinner party at a different location. It does not seem to be in their interest to please possible future customers. I'm very disappointed! To sum up, food is decent and so are the prices. However don't rely on them to help you out with a dinner party! read more

Tried this place twice and have two different opionions. Goat curry was good but the fish curry was saltier than a salt stick. That is all. read more

I visited with my vegetarian sisters, so we had a meatless meal and it was totally delicious. The Palak Paneer is amazing, as are the pakoras. We also really enjoyed the Channa Masala and Aloo Gobi. With excellent prices, good service, and a comfortable decor, I'd totally recommend it and will be back soon! read more

No complaints about this place! The atmosphere is very different from the Indian restaurants I've been to before, but it is very comfortable nonetheless, not like an authentic Indian restaurant, but more like a Indian version of Milestones! Whether that is appealing to you or not, the food is fantastic, just as good if not better than other places we've tried. We had chicken tikka and lamb vindaloo; both had ample portions of tender meat and delicious flavors. This would be a great place to take a date: Romantic atmosphere with dim lighting. Everything was well presented and the price was right. Very nice overall, clean and meticulous with friendly, attentive service. read more

Wow! I have eaten a lot of Indian food but this is the best in Toronto on my opinion. Right in the middle of Greek-town. Traditional dishes with a bit of flair. Reasonably priced and very friendly service. Chicken Tikka is unreal. read more

Best Indian food in Toronto. Definitely my favorite restaurant overall. You have the option to do half orders so you can try a little bit of everything. They have great vegetation options. But I'm a carnivore. On the list of of delicious things I can highly recommend are the samosas, mulligatawny soup, garlic naan, bryani rice, shrimp curry, and their spicy Caesar cocktail. The spicy beef vindaloo is my absolute favorite. The pieces of meat are large and and fall apart with a fork. Lamb saag is fresh and full of spinach and curry flavor. Their butter chicken is the best I've ever had. The chicken is well marinated, the sauce is creamy, a little bit sweet and spicy. You just have to try this place you won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious and flavourful. Great take out. Highly recommended if you're looking for Indian food on the Danforth.

We ordered in - the food was amazing with the perfect amount of heat. We've subsequently ordered in a couple more times. My favorites are the Palak paneer, Daal & Bhartha.The raita is great too. read more

My new job on this site should be to alert people as to when restaurants are closed lol. Last week I walked to Dukem in the freezing cold to find out they were closed until further notice. Today, I am finding out Sher-E-Punjab is closed as well. They are doing renovations until March 10. Other than that, I love this place. read more

Best Indian food I've had in the city. We ordered the butter chicken, tandoori chicken, naan and samosas. All excellent and tasty. The mango lassi is also very good. read more

The Butter Chicken, Malai Chicken Kebabs and Paneer Tikka are to die for! Definitely a great place for all lovers of Authentic Indian Cuisine read more

Great Indian restaurant - all the food and ingredients are super fresh, service is excellent, and the Indian Beer is great.

Nice atmosphere and service was good. Food is fine, but not spectacular. It is a good place to go if you are in the area, or are hanging out there, but it isn't a place I'd seek out. read more

Went here after a friend recommended it. Ordered the chicken tikka masala, lamb saag, palak paneer, daal, rice pulloa and naan. Food was delicious and authentic tasting. Although seemed like small portions we were very full after our meal. Service was quick and polite. Decor could use some updating. Overall, happy we came to eat here and would defiantly recommend to other friends. read more

Best Indian we've ever had. Had the samosas (veg & lamb), the chicken tikka masala & some sort of bread pudding for dessert - all phenomenal. Very reasonable prices & you get very generous portions. Great service & lovely decor. Can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

Service sucks, food cold and was not served according to menu system. Flat bread served first, but the appetisers served after the main dish, drinks beer were flat and not cold. Disgusted and walked out. read more

Great food the first time I ordered. The second time I waited two hours for the food to get here, so I can't say whether it is good on a consistent bases, because I'm still waiting. Good food, just book hours in advance, because they may not come. read more

The butter chicken was the perfect blend of subtle spice and creaminess. The samosas are huge and tasty. The portions were great, and the value was top shelf. Definitely will come back. read more

Our dinner at Sher-E-Punjab was as good as it gets ...our first time here, we were impressed. Recommend the Spicy Lamb Chops (outstanding) and the Sher-E-Punjab Sizzling Tikka!!! We were impressed with the décor, the staff, and the delicious food. read more

Lamb saag was excellent and butter chicken was average. Based on food alone, this place deserves 3.5 stars. However, they charged us separately for naan AND rice. I can understand them charging us for naan. Even some U.S. Restaurants do this. However, rice is part of the meal! Nobody eats butter chicken by itself. I wouldn't mind paying slightly more for the dish, but why do it in a round about, shady way? Instead of charging $12 for the dish and $3 for rice, why not make the meal $15? Shady shady. read more

Wonderful gem in the middle of Greek town, been around for years. By far the Best Indian in the East end. Great decor, big booths, great for a date, or for a group. Food is awesome, watch out for the Vindaloo - Very spicy, but delicious. Butter Chicken, Mmm! fresh Naan, yummy pakoras. I often just grab take out when I am craving some excellent Indian! My only negative comment would be that service can sometimes be slow on busy nights. Oh and they have amazing cocktails too. Well worth checking out! read more

Hands down one of the top Indian restaurants I've been to! The lentil soup was sooo yummy, the beef samosas are so fresh and to finish it all off a delicious warm rice pudding! Soo yummy! It is definitely a place to check out! It smells so amazing in here! read more

Decent food with great atmosphere and service.. A lot better than other Indian places in Toronto..Definitely worth a shot..

Delicious and not nearly as greasy as the usual Indian fare. Was perfectly seasoned and not too heavy. Ordered the tikka masala, Chana masala and veggie samosas and all dishes were very well enjoyed. We will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Really good naan and curry. Word of advice: even if you get the mild curry the chillies they use are HOT. I learned the hard way by eating one thinking it was a green onion. Lol! read more

Half the reason one goes out to a restaurant is for the ambiance, which includes the customer service. Customer service here is very poor. Staff is unsmiling, tries to hurry you out of the restaurant, and generally treats you with a level of disdain. Will prefer to go somewhere that is more leisurely, and does not try to market itself based on the painful history of 1857. Disgusting. read more

Delicious! Chana Masala was incredible as were the Chicken Tikki Masala & 1/4 chicken Tandoori dishes. We chose paneer nann, regular naan, steamed rice and 2 samosas. The samosas were a bit greasy but I think this is to be expected given the nature of the item (deep fried). The above order was delivered to my home for $46.00 and was enough for 2 of us to have 2 meals - I should also note is was equally as delicious the next day! read more

Expensive dishes for so little food. Uninspired...tikka paneer is just cubes with a few raw onions ad two slices of pepper. Everything was so so or bad and way overpriced. Arrive 2hours late...restaurant assured us in the first hour it was out for delivery, second call said it just left. Manager was meant to call me back and never did. It's like they just couldn't give a rat's *ahem* won't go there again. Life's too short for bland take out or getting annoyed waiting for it read more

Great Indian food, many awesome dishes to chose from. The best Indian food on the Danforth.

Good Place, Veg pakora are awsome, It serves some spice between all the boring greek Food Joints...

Trip to this place had some highs and lows. The service was friendly and I liked the atmosphere of the place. And the vegetable pakora was truly exceptional (perfect texture, hot, and crispy) and I appreciated the generous portion of tamarind chutney. I also loved how the tamarind chutney wasn't overly sweet but was rather tart and sour which for me is something quite good. The rest of the meal wasn't quite up to scratch though. While the nan bread was great, the rice looked like it had been handled too much (too many of the grains were broken into small slightly gummy pieces). The chicken jalfrezie tasted ok (a little too many cumin seeds for my taste though - and I like cumin too) but the shrimp curry was very disappointing (tasted like pieces of shrimp in mildly spiced ketchup sauce). If you're in the area and are craving Indian food, Sher E Punjab is fine but I wouldn't go to this neighbourhood just for this place. read more

My family has been coming here for years, first at the original location and now the new one. Last night we had the absolute worst service I've ever had at a restaurant. The restaurant was busy enough for a Friday night, but there were still a few empty tables. We ordered a few beers, some pakoras, sizzling chicken, daal and naans. The waiter asked if we wanted the appetiser to come out first. We said yes, but nothing came out for an entire hour. The wait staff didn't bother checking up on us for the entire duration. No filling up our water glasses. Nothing. And then all we got was lukewarm chicken. No naans, no second dish. No pakoras. As we were hungry, we ate the chicken alone. Still nothing came out. We had to cancel the rest of our order, and request the bill. The waiter was apologetic, but there was no offer of comping anything on the bill or a promise of better service or a discount in the future. Would never eat there again. Would also not recommend it to anyone in the future. Years of trust broken in just one night. read more
