Do you believe in second chances? I do. After a very disappointing visit to Indraprastha in…read moreMarkham, I gave them another chance and I'm glad I did. Their food and service were far better this time around. Unlike the previous visit, food arrived quickly, and sizzling hot, all freshly made, and tasty. The naan was perfectly light and fluffy. The cocktails were refreshing, albeit a little on the sweet side. We had a lot of food, more than we could finish, so we ended up taking some of it home. * Hareyali Paneer * Gangster Gobi * Chicken Manchurian * Garlic Naan * Masala Chicken Lollipop * Butter Chicken * Chicken Dum Biriyani * Chicken Chow Mein * Chilli Garlic Naan * Gulab Jamun * Chocolate Brownie Sizzler Everything was much better this time around. Hopefully, they'll maintain this level of quality and service.

Attended their kids workshop and wow- my daughter had a great time!…read more The staff were amazing, very kind with all the kids at the workshop, and made sure everyone was safe. They even had an apron, hat, and certificate at the end. I think there was a mixup of the dishes at the end, as there were two dishes on the same table, and the dish we ordered shouldn't be spicy but came out extremely spicy. My daughter really enjoyed the butter paneer, very tasty, creamy, and sweet! I hope they have other workshops again!

I got a chance to try out Annalakshmi in Scarborough for a family dinner! This is a pure vegetarian…read moreSouth Indian restaurant with so many items on their menu. It is quite spacious and has a lot of seating to come dine in but does also do take out options. The staff is quite slow here to come take your food and even for your food to come out, so be prepared for that! It took quite some time for one of my friend's dishes to come out while the rest of us had even finished eating. But the staff are very nice and we were seated quite quickly, on the plus side. When it came to the food, everything was pretty good!! We got quite a few appetizers including: Gopi 65 (which was delicious), Chili Idli (would come back just for this) and the Bhaaji. And for our entrees we got the Garlic Parotta with Kurma (would pass on this), Paneer Biryani (was okay), Paneer Masala Dosa (was good) the Mushroom Uthapam (was good) and the Chili Parotta (would pass on this). Overall the food was good, definitely had some dishes I would come back for. If you're looking for some South Indian food in Scarborough I would recommend! 7/10 Recommend!

Price $15-$25 per person Items ordered: -7 Taste Uthappam -Paper Masala Dosa -Gobi Manchurian -Paneer Chettinad -Parotta with Kurma -Parotta with Chana Masala -Sambar Idly Food Quality (Menu, Taste, Portion size) - 5/5 This menu is a vegetarian's dream! I won't lie, I was overwhelmed at first on what to pick, so I highly recommend going with a group so you can try a bit of everything. The portion sizes are great, we had so much leftover! The variety is so nice. Taste wise, every dish had my heart. It was all packed with flavour and tasted authentic. The stars for me were the Paneer Chettinad and Parotta with Kurma. Atmosphere -5/5 The interior of this place is insane! It feels like walking into an emperor's house! All the walls have paintings of hindu gods, and the restaurant is decorated so well. It's pretty big so perfect for smaller or larger groups. I'd try to get a reservation on busier nights. Service - 5/5 The staff is super helpful ! We asked a lot of question on what to order and they were so helpful. They would check in on us to, when it's super busy it happened less frequently but totally understandable. Will I go again? Of Course! I think it's going to be my go to Indian veggie place! Lash's Recommendations -Paneer Chettinad -Paper Masala Dosa -Parottta with Kurma

VEGETABLE SAMOSA, FISH PAKORA, BUTTER CHICKEN, CHICKEN KORMA, GULAB JAMUN, RASMALAI. We shared a bite of each item and we all enjoyed each item.

The food is on the less spicy side compared to other Indian restaurants, so keep that in mind when you order. The service was EXCELLENT. I noted the restaurant only a few parties during peak dinner time though--not as busy as I would have expected.

Everything was done through online ordering where my payment was taken, and when I went in store to pay I was told they never received my payment and tried to charge me twice. Overall the service here for both in person and take out, is not the greatest. Wait times are long and the staff is not very attentive. When it comes to the food, it's okay. I have ordered the Charminar Veg Dum Biryani would not recommend. Previously have also ordered their Chana Masala and Gopi Manchurian which is decent. The portion sizes are small, and honestly probably won't be ordering from here anymore. 4/10 recommend!

I've dined at other locations of Charminar but this was my first time at the Markham location. The…read morefood tasted great but there were a few things that I just can't ignore. Read on... The Good I had the Goat Biryani Combo from their lunch menu and it was very filling and delicious! It actually included two chicken side dishes, naan, raita, salan, and dessert, making this combo a great value. It was also very filling! The Bad The actual price of the meal was $3.00 more than stated on their menu. Their menu is online and you have to scan a QR code pasted to the table to view it on your mobile phone. Hmmm, suppose you didn't have a phone, or an app to read the QR code? How would I know if I was being scammed by my server? The Not So Great The restaurant is large, obviously two units. One side is very dark and the other side brightly lit. Decor is very stark. Very! The wall surfaces are hard so you could easily hear every word of every conversation taking place in the restaurant. I was seated at a round table that had four place settings but the extra settings were not removed when I was seated. How long had they been there? There was also a pitcher of water (room temperature) on each table. How long has that been there? All the plates were noticeably chipped. This is the most upscale looking Charminar I've been to but they have a lot to learn about service. My experience at their other locations was far better! At least I enjoyed the food. PS - I never got the dessert.

No one was being rowdy or anything, just lots of conversations.

They give you a complimentary snack, in a form of potato sticks (not entirely sure what it was). To start: - Samosa 10/10 They were huge! Perfectly fried and stuffed with spiced potatoes and green peas. Came with a green and red chutney. Green chutney was refreshing while the red chutney was sweet and spicy! - Pani Puri Shots 10/10 Great presentation on this, shots of green mint and tamarind water, topped with mini poori with chickpeas and potatoes. Loved the way they served this as a shot, it was packed with flavour and exploded with the refreshing mind and tamarind water in the mouth once you ate it. Mains: - Butter chicken 8/10 Was buttery and smooth in texture and loaded with chicken. It definitely was lacking something in the flavour that I couldn't pin point, but still a great easy option for anyone that doesn't like too much spice. - Garlic naan 10/10 Huge! And can't go wrong with this to pair with your butter chicken. - Goat curry 9/10 Packed with delicious spices and had a huge kick of heat to it, so be aware! It's a young goat dish slowly simmered in a rich Indian gravy/ curry. Highly recommend to eat this with some rice. Can't wait to come back when I'm having that Indian food craving! The newly renovated interior itself is a winner!
