    a plate of food on a table
    Raafat H.

    This is the best Indian small restaurant that I have come across in a while. It's my second time here and there are no regrets. The owner pays special attention to the customers and is doing a magnificent job! We tried vegan delights as well as meats and chicken and I have to say it always exceeded my expectations

    Garlic naan. This was warm and delicious!

    I haven't been to many Indian buffets but I expected there to be more selection from a buffet place. Surprisingly, there wasn't much to choose from (3-4 different meat dishes) and the taste was alright. The only highlight was the garlic naan! The service was friendly though for a small restaurant. My nephews were also running around a bit and they accommodated that politely.

    Dinner here is always $14.99. They don't discriminate the weekend :). When you are hungry and need a yummy cheap AYCE feast, come here, the price is a steal. It is a very small restaurant but filled with lots of regulars who come here often. The family that runs this place is nice. They don't rush you even if you take your time eating plate after plate like me. The food here is above average for an Indian buffet. I like that they have different curries available. Their selection cannot be compared to bigger buffets such as India's Taste in Markham or Dhaba / Kama / Aroma downtown.

    It's your typical Indian buffet. Most of the dishes are what you normally see: tandoori chicken, butter chicken, tikka masala, curry goat, etc. Most of them were okay and nothing out of the ordinary. However, they had an eggplant dish (might just be seasonal), which was amazing. The service was decent, the waiter came by to fill water often. The atmosphere was clean and quiet. This is a quick and easy option for those in the neighbourhood craving some Indian!

    My first time here for lunch it was actually pretty good and reasonable price. So this one is ayce Indian food lunch. They have a hot table on the side.4-5 selection of curries, tandoori chicken and some other Vege selection. Also, some dessert. I actually tried everything and 80% of the food is pretty good and you could order naan that is include in the ayce price. I ordered a garlic naan it was not bad is just a little too thin on the naan. For 12.99 you can try a lot of varieties here. Good place to give it a try if craving for Indian food. Should try to make cheese naan.

    Today we went to lunch buffet in Indian cuisine. The buffet open at 11 am but we have to wait 10-15 more minute due to the food buffet is not ready. The veg pokora and noodles taste is good . Butter chicken need taste buttery ..I think to much tomato sauce. Chicken tandoori and fish pokora is need spice. Naan is so fresh and buttery taste ...is so good touch. But the store need fresh up touch, look really outdated . Overall $12.99 /person it to much .

    Lamb Biryani

    My husband and I love this place. The food is sooo delicious! We always order butter chicken, lamb biryani, garlic naan, samosa chat, and a drink called mangolese. We are always so excited to eat here. COVID has made it a bit longer waiting for the food but that's completely understandable. This place is in high demand! :) I'm not sure if it's a family owned restaurant but every time we have gone it's the same woman. And she is always so kind to us. We love it here and you should definitely get food here!!

    Came here for the $14.99 dinner buffet. The buffet food tasted fresh and the naan (garlic and plain) was absolutely delicious. I particularly liked the paneer, butter chicken and goat curries. The mango lassi was good but a bit small for $4.99 and could have used some ice cubes. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. This is definitely a hidden gem in Thornhill. I will definitely be coming back here.

    Had lunch at the lunch buffet and thought that it was very good. I recommended to go there for dinner and it was absolutely amazing. It was the best Indian meal I have ever had. I highly recommend this place!

    Quality of food/taste - 4 Ambiance - 3 Service - 1 Read reviews about this place and since I was in the area, decided to check it out. Didn't opt for the lunch buffet and ordered a la carte instead - Madras chicken (which I found had good flavour but not as spicy as the menu indicated), chicken lababdar (too sweet for my liking but if you're not a fan of spice, this would be a good dish to order), garlic naan and laccha paratha (both freshly made), gulab jamuns - strict ok : $1 each so didn't really care. My peeves about this place : 1. When we entered there was such a cold reception, not a smile or acknowledgement from 4+ staff 2. We seated ourselves and weren't acknowledged for a while. I tried to pass it off like they were busy setting up their lunch buffet so would eventually come around. Nothing for 10 mins. Agitated I then asked for a menu to be brought to us. 3. There was a person taking photos of the place, I believe may be the owner - found him very fake. Completely different persona when talking to Caucasian patrons. He's Indian/Nepali- soooo shame!!!! While they might be your regular patrons in the area, if you don't treat other communities or new customers, expect to have a nose dive with your business. 4. When other customers walked in for the lunch buffet (read - Caucasian), there was so much hustle and bustle and enthusiastic smiles, channel was promptly changed to CP24 (we endured an hour of Nepali prayer procession music prior to this on TV) 5. Oh surprise -- treated very well when the bill came around, smh 6. Charge card machine defaulted with a comm error 4 times. The hostess decided she was going to try it and confirmed the tip amount thrice aloud as she insisted on keying it in, to the great amusement of the person I was having lunch with and patrons seated behind us. So very strange!!! Anyway, if it wasn't for the food I would rate this place zero but the I can't blame the chefs there who are obviously doing a wonderful job with the food. May return to try their lunch buffet without needing much from the 'service' factor.

    Biriyani, tabdoori chicken, cauliflower masala, spicy potatoes and nan bread :)

    After a long overnight shift, I found myself craving some Indian food but the problem was that I had to wait till noon to get some. The wait was agonizing but oh boy the wait was worth it. I came for the Indian Cuisine lunch buffet and the food tasted so awesome (came close to when they first open the restaurant). I love their tandoori chicken, whenever you bite into it you can taste the marinade and spices. Pair it with their Nan bread and mint sauce it is simply delicious. I always get their Lassi and it is a good drink when eating spicy food ; it is nice and creamy. Service wise the staff are great and consistent with drink refills; this was when a flash rush of 15 people came. So it was nice to know I was not forgotten. Overall, great place for lunch ($ 9.95) and I will definitely back when I'm around the area.

    Dum Pukht Yonge is an elegant Indian restaurant located right by Sheppard-Yonge Station; it's…read moreaccessible by subway line 1 and 4 and if you're driving, there's parking available behind the restaurant (with reasonable price). It's known for using the traditional dum pukht slow‑cooking method, which brings out deep, rich flavours in dishes like biryani and curries. The space is cozy yet refined, making it a comfortable spot for anything from a casual dinner to a special night out. The menu offers a wide range of options, including vegetarian choices and allergy‑friendly dishes, all made with fresh, high‑quality ingredients. We ordered "Broccoli Steak Mustard Glaze " for appetizer, "Dal Panchratni" and "Chicken Tikka Masala" for main and paired our meal with "Tropical Oasis" and "Sex on the Beach". We finished our meal with "Nest Rasmalai" for dessert. Our food was flavorful and beautifully served. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Here's what we had: * Broccoli Soup * Lasooni Tangdi (Chicken) * Lamb Nawabi * Dum Pukht Veg Biryani * Goan Curry Fish * Laal Maas (Goat Curry) * Garlic Naan * Shai Tukda (Dessert) The food was pretty good, with rich flavours, bright colours, and attractive presentation, especially the dessert, with foggy dry ice creating a nice aesthetic. I also had the chance to photograph other dishes. Everything looked great! Service was understandably slow for a packed house but live performers kept us entertained, with dancers and a musician circulating through the dining room. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening out with a friend. 4.5/5.0

    Overall, a solid 4-star experience at Goan Indian Farm Kitchen…read more The Chicken Tikka was hands down the star of the meal--10/10! The chicken was perfectly tender and juicy, with a beautiful char from the grill. The marinade was full of spices that were perfectly balanced, and the smoky flavor was absolutely delightful. My only suggestion would be to serve a bit more mint chutney alongside, as the coolness and freshness of the chutney paired beautifully with the spice of the chicken. The Spicy Beef Kebab was decent, but I have to give it a 7/10. While the texture was great, and the kebab was tender, it could've benefited from a stronger, more distinct flavor profile. The spices were a bit too overwhelming, and the beef lacked the depth I was hoping for. A bit more seasoning and complexity would've elevated it. The Palak Paneer was solid, but not perfect--8.5/10. The spinach sauce was creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of spices, but I found that there wasn't enough paneer in the dish. It felt like there was a great base, but the lack of enough paneer left me wanting more of that rich, cheesy bite that makes this dish so satisfying. Still, the sauce itself was excellent. The Makhan Chicken with Mushrooms was good but somewhat underwhelming--7/10. The chicken itself was cooked well, but the flavor of the sauce didn't quite have the depth or richness I expected. The mushrooms added some nice earthiness, but overall, I was hoping for a more complex, flavorful dish. It was fine, but it didn't stand out compared to the other items. As for dessert, the Bebinca was warm and moist, but it lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for--6.5/10. The texture was perfect--soft and almost cake-like--but the sweetness and coconut flavor didn't quite pop the way it should. I feel like the Gulabjamun Rose Cheesecake might have been a better pick, as the Bebinca didn't quite hit the mark. But the true highlight of the meal was the Mango Lassi Cheesecake - 10/10. It was absolutely divine! It tasted exactly like a mango lassi, but in cheesecake form. The mango flavor was fresh and vibrant, while the creamy texture was smooth and indulgent. Every bite was a perfect balance of sweetness and tang, and we wouldn't change a thing about it. It was the ultimate dessert to end the meal. While the food was mostly excellent (especially the Chicken Tikka and Mango Lassi Cheesecake), the service was a bit of a letdown. The greeter rolled their eyes when we asked for a table away from the entrance, despite there being plenty of empty tables at lunchtime. That initial encounter made us feel a little unwelcome, though the staff did check on us afterward, and we still left a tip. The interior decor was beautiful, though--definitely added to the overall experience. Overall, despite the service hiccup, the food (particularly the Chicken Tikka and Mango Lassi Cheesecake) was fantastic, and we would definitely return for the food!

Only complaints was the waiting time and the super dark interior. Definitely worth a try and will be back for more Indian eats!
