The staff is so kind and welcoming, it really is like being part of the family. During this visit we ordered our fave dishes including the savoury chicken tikka masala and the incredible chicken momos. I wasn't a huge fan of the prawn koliwada fry because of the seasoning, but my family enjoyed it. Our server Jana was very kind and knowledgable. Despite managing tables for half the restaurant, she was efficient in taking our orders and attentive when we needed her to come to our table. We also appreciated her sense of humour and friendliness. We love this restaurant and are so excited they've been expanding to other locations. We can't wait to return for another meal here during our next visit to Canada!

Wow. Just wow. I HATE WRITING THIS REVIEW because I want this place all to myself! There's not a…read more6th star, otherwise I'd give that too as well. Could not write enough good things about our first experience at Bandra Cafe. I have nothing but praise for this restaurant! Words cannot describe how impressed I was by the chef and his wonderful team. I could literally rave about this restaurant for HOURS. Our experience was absolutely exceptional. It's not often that from drinks to dessert you like everything set infront of you! You can truly feel the care and talent behind every plate. Everything is curated down to the smallest detail, and the food is absolutely amazing! This restaurant left me in a food coma. I was so full I couldn't even move but that's when you know the food was really good. What truly sets this experience apart is the owner himself. His warmth, humility, and passion for his craft shine through in every bite and every interaction. From the moment we walked in, we could tell this place was going to be special. The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put real care into every plate. The service, impeccable. Professional and you are treated like you are their best customer at that moment. Bandra Cafe is one of those places where both the food and the service make you want to come back. The first thing that hit me was the smoke and sizzle of the Szechuan Tikka Sizzler. I wasn't ready for this level of heat!! And don't even get me started on the Quesadilla- it's absolutely scrumptious! The truffle fries are a non-negotiable! And of course I had to jump on the dirty soda trend! But the deliciousness doesn't stop there because the Chilli Chicken was pure satisfaction. And my summer mocktail era starts now with this Chili Mango Refresher. Let's just say my cravings were officially handled with the Bang Bang Cauliflower. And a good latte goes a long way! The cutting chai just fixes everything! Every dish was full of flavour, cooked to perfection, and presented beautifully, making it hard to pick a favourite. The food had solid flavours that left us satisfied. The atmosphere is beautiful and lively with a great mix of elegance and comfort that makes the place feel special yet welcoming. From the very first moment, the owner and staff went the extra mile to secure a table for us, offered insightful recommendations that made each dish a perfect choice, and, above all, treated us with such kindness and genuine warmth that we felt right at home. Staff is top level service! You can tell real care and time went into how everything was prepared and presented. That extra attention shows. The attention to detail and dedication to quality shine through in every bite. What really stood out was the ambiance: the decor is stylish, warm, and inviting, making the whole dining experience even better. The decor, lighting, and music created an incredibly comfortable space that made you want to stay longer. Overall, Bandra Cafe is one of those rare places that manages to deliver on both food and experience. I have nothing but top tier, quality experiences and would recommend this place to anyone. Top-notch service, super friendly people, and a cool atmosphere. A place you'll want to return to, again and again. If you're looking for a place where great food, and phenomenal service come together effortlessly, Bandra Cafe is the place to go. This place is definitely a vibe! If you're looking for a restaurant that nails the food, mocktails, and atmosphere all in one, then Bandra Cafe is the place to go! I'll be dreaming about this place until my next visit! This was my first time at the restaurant, and I can attest with much confidence that it will definitely NOT be my last. Do yourself a favour: drop by this place. I promise--you will not regret it.

Restaurant was not that busy when we stopped by shortly after the dinner service started. Price was reasonable at $24 a person. Food selection was decent. However, the food temperature was not hot enough for my liking and was only slightly warm for many of the items. Also, we had to ask for roti as it was not automatically offered. The roti arrived pipping hot. My favourite items were the gulab jamun and kheer as both were served in the appropriate temperatures. The gulab jamun was served warm and the kheer served chilled. I did enjoy trying a number of different types of curries and the flavours were quite delicious. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Service was efficient. Our server stopped by regularly to clear dirty plates and refill water. I would consider coming back to try their lunch buffet to see if it was just a one off day. I do think this restaurant is a great option in the area if they can work out the small details. Overall, it was a 3.5 star experience. I had to knock a star down because of the food temperature.

Their spring rolls, vegetarian noodle burger, mango shake, and thali all tasted really good. Their rice and curry bowl options are also great for individual meals. However, the portion size of the main dishes is very small and I was thrown off by the amount of Kadhi Pakoda in my takeout order as it only had 1 pakoda and very little Kadhi and seemed like an individual order than full size. Another downside is that the seating feels a bit congested, especially the tables in the middle, but it seems like they may expand in the future and hopefully improve the spacing. The restrooms could also use a bit of work.

Our group had craving for dosas and picked this place as we were traveling there over the weekend…read more First they don't have ala carte on weekends so we ended up with having the buffet. The buffet had rice varieties from every southern state - curd rice, plain rice, bisibele baath, soya pulao/biryani, and then baby idlis and baby uthapams. For the curries they had only 1 mix veg, that was sweet and creamy, and chhole. There were couple of chutneys. For dessert they had gulab Jamin and kesari( sheera). Tricky part- food was running out, and getting cold, restocking was slow. You pick the idlis and the sambar is out. You come for the sambar and the uthapams and idlis are cold. The puris and dosas are to be served at the table, and then you brought the sambar and chutney and chhole at the table and the dosas and puris never made it for 15 mins, and all the food in your plate is cold. How much rice can you have? Finally when the dosa was brought in apologetically was burnt bitter. The poor server had to apologize and offer free coffee. Overall this was far from our desire to have simple South Indian dosa meal. I'd stay away from the buffet for sure.
