Very flavourful dishes. I've ordered the vegetable samosas, lamb korma, beef kababs, saag paneer, naan, and butter chicken and it's delicious. I don't personally prefer the texture of the saag paneer as paneer is rather small, making the dish very pureed. The dishes are spicier than average. Mild heat doesn't seem to exist as per request. I will keep ordering from here because it's authentic and very tasty. Small seating area at back is decent. read more

The garlic naan is amazing. The kebabs and the Biryani are great as well. The other curries and such won't blow your mind. It's a nice no frills joint. read more

This restaurant is definitely one of those places that you've walked by hundreds of times and you've just never gone inside to check it out. I was always a little put off by the lack of attention to decorating... that's not to say it wasn't nice inside, it just wasn't as done up/ as fancy as other restaurants on Spadina. After walking in I realized how prejudiced had been against this restaurant -- their food looked and smelled so amazing. All of their meats and sauces and Currys smelled great looked great I wanted to order one of everything but alas I was forced to choose the following items: Nihari curry, lamb ___, tikka rice, two naan-bread, pop and sauces and for desert gulab jamun. I believe it came to around $30 but well did we get a LOT of food. My partner and I have both eaten the leftovers for dinner, lunch the next day and dinner again -- six full meals for 2 peopl out of that order is pretty impressive. All the food was so delicious. Their sauces were flavourful their meat was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be coming back here again next week and the week after and I suggest if you're walking by you take the plunge walk in and just try the food because the food is truly the star read more

Sizzler Kabab - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Friendly owners, delicious food, great place to stop by for a midnight bite. Be careful with their naan though bc it's served piping hot

The restaurant smells like a mixture of urine and grease that has accumulated over the years. The chicken biryani seemed like it was made with leftover rice from the day before (there were clumps of rice that wouldn't come apart easily). While there was chicken, it was almost entirely bones. In addition to that, each bite was like playing minesweeper: on the surface, a spoonful of rice looked fine, but every so often I'd strike a chicken bone, a whole peppercorn, or a clove. Naan was clearly not made in house, and was poorly reheated. There were several huge pieces of charcoal on the bottom of the naan that were just left on. I'm not very picky about food (not in terms of preparation and not in terms of variety) and I hate wasting food. Even still, I could not get myself to eat the food. read more

Ordered from Eats so this review is not based on my experience in the restaurant. Also this is for the location near king and bathurst. We ordered the lamb biryani, butter chicken, saag paneer, garlic naan, tandoori naan, roti regular. The food here tastes great. I would suggest ordering the dishes with naan as opposed to a rice dish. The rice is just OK, but the naan is fantastic! I wish the dishes had more meat and paneer but overall very tasty. The food is pretty balanced too, it isn't excessively oily or heavy. Prices are great too, it's pretty cheap with large potions. read more

I ordered take out from here due to Covid times. It was a rainy day and it seemed intimidating since I've never gone in here before. The staff seemed nice. I ordered lamb biryani. I didn't get the combo with drink. Anyway, I waited a bit before I got my order. I have to say that it was really good value. The box was filled to the top. There were many pieces of lamb. My rice was a tad moist but I wasn't sure if it's cause I ordered take out and by the time I got home the steam took over. read more

Nice location and they seem to open late. The place is cafeteria style and pay upfront when ordering. There wasn't much service and they don't seat you or anything. I get the feeling it used to be a ice cream store given the layout of the register. Take outs and delivery seem to be their main selling point. I don't usually see many people eating in when I pass by the place. The food was alright. I got the lamb biryani and a garlic naan. The biryani came with a small salad which were some cucumber slices and leaves and a soda drink. The lamb was good but a couple of the pieces were almost all bones. They also seem to have forgotten the garlic in the naan I ordered because it tasted bland. After seeing the other reviews, I expected more from the naan. The food felt dry towards the end. I suspect that's why most of the combos offer a choice of a drink. The green sauce thing was very watery but I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that. It tasted okay and I dipped the naan pieces in it to eat. Overall, it was okay and very filling. I'd probably come back again but expectations aren't high. This place seems good for getting a simple naan to go though. read more

Gotta love the influx of kabab places downtown. Pamier Kabab, the Afghanistan kabob house further south on Spadina has them, but Sizzler looked good for lunch so I stopped in. There is plenty of room for seating but the stark white walls looks like more effort could be taken to make the place look more enticing. That doesn't matter if the food is good and it was. The lunch specials all looked good. A return visit could help me decide if all their food is basically the same or if they show some culinary skills with a menu steeped in tradition. Check this place out for lunch, I'd like to hear some other reviews of their fare. Something tells me they are holding back somewhat, have potential, and if you know what to order, they could step up and become remarkable. read more

Sizzler Kabab - Chicken kabob. - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Legit AF! I had the butter chicken combo with naan and a veggie samosa delivered and it was awesome. The curry was super fragrant with a beautiful, balanced sauce and whole chicken pieces. It was a touch spicy for me, but so flavourful, and I would much prefer a little too spicy over the bland tomato paste a lot of places pass off as butter chicken. The samosas were really nice as well, packed with capsicum and whole coriander. The samosa pastry was a little on the dense side, but the filling was so flavourful I can't complain. I will absolutely be ordering from here again! read more

When it comes to Pakistani food, this restaurant hits the spot. Came here for haleem and nihari and they delivered during lockdown!

The butter chicken is perfect. Tasty and spicy. The chikken tikka is awesome. The naan is fresh and chewy. All dinners come with a fresh salad. The fried fish is perfect. Don't stress, have some sizzler. And don't forget to order the biryani. Yummmmmmmmmmmmyyy! read more

If you are from Bangladesh and you miss the halim from back home, the halim from here will hit the spot!!! The halim is pretty damn good but the portion is not very big. The boneless malai chicken tikka with naan was pretty decent as well. Would order from here again. Food ordered through Ubereats. read more

I am currently eating the butter chicken from Sizzler Kebab. Tongue status: delighted Belly status: happily full Mouth status: on fire Wallet status: satisfied Who needs a man when you can spend Friday night with food this good? Sizzler Kebab is a small, spiced gem in Chinatown. The small parking lot is always stuffed with cabs, and the fluorescent lights always bright. You don't come here for decor, but you do come here for the food. My white girl taste buds get slightly intimidated here but the subtle, steady burn is paired with piles of flavour. This butter chicken is no overly-sweet, tomato-soup-style mess. The chicken has been char-grilled first so it's tender and flavourful even before being bathed in a rich, complex, spicy and deep red sauce. Most of their dishes are excellent, reasonably portioned, and well-priced. I only once had a lentil dish that tasted a bit off, but everything else I've had is near divine. Naan is house-made, fresh, hot and so goodI sometimes get the garlic version to go just by itself and eat it pantsless and happy, alone in my apartment. It almost replaces Tinder. The guys running this place are lovely and obviously work very hard. So go put your pants on (as you must) and get yourself some naan. I promise a happy ending. read more

Would I bring a first date here? No. She'd probably leave but if she's that shallow, I wouldn't want to be with her anyway. Moving on... If you're looking for a real South Asian meal, this place is the real deal. I grew up in Vancouver but I spent a good 10 years in India and other parts of South Asia. When I moved to Toronto, finding decent Indian comfort food wasn't easy. I usually order the Haleem, Any Biryani (depending on my mood), Tandoori Chicken is the real deal and you should try out their breads as well. I haven't ordered each and every thing on the menu but anything that I have tried, was worth the order. Don't walk... Run to Sizzler Kabab. read more

What we got: beef kebab plate x 1, chicken kebab plate x 1 I ordered from here on Ritual and I was starving and there was nothing else open because of COVID. Glad I found this place... cannot beat the price and I was surprisingly pleased by how great the chicken kebabs were. They were delicious with the rice, fresh off the grill. My bf got the beef, he says they were good. My only complaint is that the salad was way too small - it was essentially a bunch of iceberg lettuce and onions (although the raw onions went really well with the meat) without any dressing wrapped in a ball of foil lol. And only one for two meals. But for a 6.99 dinner plate, you really cannot go wrong. They also give you this cilantro sauce that is pretty good. I paired it all with sour cream and it was bomb. read more

Agree that it's a total rip off. Only 4 small pieces of chicken with the bone in, splintered for $7.90. It was dry and tasted old. I was here before for the lamb, which was fatty, small and tough. The person admitted everything in the Kitchen is cold and they heat it up on the plate or in a Styrofoam container when ordered. Mine was too hot and cold, very greasy and lacked flavour. Since I love Pakistani food and live nearby, this is a huge disappointment. They seem to be trying to make as much money possible by serving the lowest quality on food they can find. The TV set on loud volume was not good either. This place looks like a dive and has lousy food. Oh, and people should know it's only been open for a few months. The owners are obviously cheap to put what looks like as little money as they could into the decor. read more

***THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC!!*** Came here for the very first (and certainly not last) time tonight and was totally blown away by the quality, taste, affordability & authenticity of this food. Hands down, this is THE BEST Pakistani food West of Yonge Street (and possibly outside of Gerard St/Little India) in the general 'downtown' area of Toronto. Honestly. WOW. The Naan, Chana Masala, Tandoori Chicken, and Beef Kebabs are out of this world!! Stop what you are doing right now and GO there RIGHT NOW. (If I wasn't so full after all that delicious food, I'd go right back!) read more

I think perhaps the only pakistani restaurant in ChinaTown, this place was a good spot to grab a quick bite to eat. The food was flavourful, but not very spicy. We had chicken tandoori kabob and fish pakoras. The price is decent. read more

This review is only for their chicken kebab combos. The combo is $8:50 including tax and comes with 2 chicken sheekh kebabs and the option of rice or fresh naan, salad and a choice of pop or bottled water. The kebabs have been fairly consistent and the fresh baked naan is always good, spice level is medium to hi and the kebab is very flavorful, for the price you cannot go wrong. The decor is not great, you wouldn't want to go out on a date at this place. Place is open till the early hours 7 days and till at least 4am on the weekend. The normal crowd in this place seems to be taxi drivers. I have never tried any of the curries in this place so I can't say anything about those dishes. read more

This place has the best kheer hands down! Best chicken biriyani in town as well! It is also halal and open till late which makes it very convenient to order take out after a long day at work. Would love to see better interior though! read more

Simple place and simply good food. The chef/cook used to work at a place over at Sherborne and Carlton. I've been a fan ever since. Place is clean and easy to get to by transit. Not a place to go for the venue, service etc etc. Just let your taste buds decide. read more

I just had the chicken karahi. I wish they had a boneless chicken option as well since I would have preferred this. The rice was hard and they over loaded the take out container with too much rice. The sauce for the karahi was pretty tasty! The dish was okay...I would have preferred boneless chicken and paid more for it. The dish was not worth the price. read more

They have the best Tikka Biryani ever! I love the quality of their meat and chicken and love how big their portions are! Should be a go-to for any desi international student in my opinion! read more

I've been coming here for over three years and despite questionable cleanliness I keep coming back because the food is delicious and the prices are unbeatable. Sadly lately there has been a young woman with a ponytail working at the cash who is ridiculously unpleasant. I don't know if owners or management has changed, but I'm pretty shocked that they put up with one of their employees being so rude to customers. That's about all I have the energy to say after my exasperating experience. read more

The kebabs are excellent. The chana dhal excellent. The aloo gobi very good.. a great eat. Dinner for one with drink and tip about $15 - $20... depending how generous you are. Delivery is good too.

After reading positive comments here on yelp, I decided to go to Sizzler Kabab to try their chicken curry combo. On the menu it shows that salad is being served next to the chicken and rise, but I did not receive any (they are trying to be sneaky I guess). The restaurant had a nasty smell, which I am not sure what exactly it was (and didn't want to know). The Mangolasi was tasting not delicious and the chicken curry was not that good either. The chicken pieces were mostly burned and the lady who served the food had not much manner. Overall, it was a bad experience and I would not go again to this restaurant. Would I recommend this place to a friend? Of course not! This restaurant would be my last resort for indian or pakistani food. Although I have not tried their pakistani dishes, I would still not go there again because of the overall experience. read more

Modest place with great food portion. the best thing the restaurant I have was the cilantro sauce and the chicken biryani and the also have decent kulf and fresh naan read more

Garbage place with dirty floors, tables, and some of the staff are rude. No customer service, sucks because the food is actually decent. Will never return to this place, I can get equally as good food elsewhere. read more

Every meal I've had here has been full of favour. Ive tried just about every Indian restaurant in the core and this one although not fancy has food that stands up to or beats them all. Their variety of briani dishes are all amazing and they are open very late. Perfect for the after party cravings. read more

A small little place with good food. Very basic set up and docor. If you are looking for cheap Pakistani food, this is the place

The chicken tikka was well done and tender, and for about $10, came with a huge naan. The salad were pieces of cucumber and lettuce, nothing special. My dad's chicken karahi had pieces of tendon and skin attached to it and neither were really that spicy, it also came with a lot of basmati rice. Food is cheap and fresh if you order the meat items, but the vegetarian dishes appear to be sitting in deli vats next to the counter for I-don't-know-how-long. read more

Talk about hole in the wall! I had gone past this place many times, thinking, "I want to try that place," but I never went in, mostly because the atmosphere with its stark fluorescent lighting and basic tables never really called to me. The other day, I finally tried it. Went with a friend at 1 in the morning after work. Ordering here is a bit strange because it looks like a fast food place but there's no menu up on the wall. The man handed us a printed menu and explained the options. Everything looked delicious so we decided to try many things. They brought all the food to our table as well as a pitcher of water and delicious hot sauce. The service was amazing, and the food... wow! It was damn good! Certainly better than I expected from a place that looks very "walk in, walk out." This is high-quality stuff for fast food. If the decor here was a bit better, I think more people would try it out and then the word would spread... Seriously this place is delicious. Definitely try the chick peans (channa). That was the winning dish, although everything had a lot of flavour. I love Chinese food, but Sizzler Kabab is a nice little break in the sea of East Asian restaurants on Spadina. read more

Worst Indian food I've ever had. Yuck. Everything from the butter chicken to the rice to the green disaster was absolutely wretched. Never again. Puke. read more

Well priced but the food is average at best. General review: Too salty and dry Really really bad service The decor is soo bad that its almost repulsive Place is clean Good nan What we had Chicken Grill Beef Kabab Butter chicken Naan (Kheer) Rice Pudding Only the naan is worth having again read more

This restaurant is a few blocks from the University of Toronto. It looks like your average diner so if fancy ambience is your thing just move on. But if you like cheap good food then this is your place. They have daily combo specials under 10 bucks that will fill you up. I like their kabab combos which will come to you fresh and hot. They are also open late to accomodate the students. I will definitely come back the next time I am in Toronto. read more

Loved it for a late night delivery. Came at 11 pm as promised and the Chicken Biryani ( better than Lahore tikka, less oily and Basmati rice cooked well) and the butter chicken were really good! Will make sure I shortlist this in my restaurants in Toronto for Indian delivery read more

Not that many options for vegetarians but still love the food... my husband loves there fish fry.. and we get it almost every other day.. the food is worth the price read more
