The food was amazing! Went with some friends who wanted me to try out as they have been hyping up for a while and the place did not disappoint. From service to ambience, everything was amazing. read more

Happy! Got chaana masala only for takeout. My colleague gave me her home made roti so I wanted something Indian to go along with it! Scarborough has a lot of Indian food places to choose from. I picked here for their high reputation and the convenience. They have free parking space in front of them. Even during the rush hour, there's a space. I knew it as I drive by every day for my commute. Perfect for pick-up after a busy day at work! Their channa masala is great! Big portion, came with a cup of rice. Gravy is thick, hearty. The chickpeas are soft enough to easily mash on the tongue but still keep their shape and very very slight nutty crunchatvthe very core. Delicate. Perfect balance of savory Gravy and peas. They have spice level options. I chose medium plus. I liked it but thought the spice may be overpowering the natural taste of other players. Will try lower spice level next time. Will visit here more to try other dishes!! read more

Vindaloo Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A recommendation from a coworker! We ordered delivery from here and I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! The flavour of the Chana, okra, and one other vegetarian dish were all really good. Even the appetizers hit! I also didn't feel super bloated or oily after eating, so would definitely order again from here. My favourite was definitely Chana with the naan. Looking forward to ordering some meat dishes the next time I'm there. read more

This small Scarborough gem is our go-to location for take-out Indian food. It is very well-appreciated by everyone--just look at all their awards on their walls--but it is well-deserved. Their tandoori chicken is first rate. Honestly. Perfectly seasoned, so tender, so nicely-charred. Hard to imagine it being better out of Tandoor itself. I have had almost everything on their classic menu--they have added a number of far northern/chinese/nepalese choices that i cannot comment on. My wife only gets the butter chicken, which is delicious, but could use a few more pieces of chicken in it, to my mind. The chicken methi, the biryani, the vindaloo, the korma, and the mixed platter are not to be missed. All top notch. Also, their bread is exquisite. Only better Ive had was in san Francisco. Garlic naan is a basic need. Their raita is very good, if not amazing. But honestly, it is very good. Sometimes they forget the rice. Pretty minor. And sonce they've opened a second location, the food has been honestly less consistent. I wonder if they are shuttling chefs? No clue. Still, Vindaloo is 5 stars all the way...i wish them another decade of success! PS: hardly anyone ever seems to dine in. Why, I don't know--probably just the scarberia vibe. If you are thinking about it, do it! It is gorgeous inside, and the service is of course excellent. Never have had bad service at an Indian restaurant, come to think of it. read more

Food was excellent and the restaurant itself is really nice (on the inside). Only complaint is that it took a very long time to get the check but that's alright. Had the onion baji, lamb roganjosh, chicken curry, beef vindaloo, butter chicken and chicken briyani. Lamb roganjosh was my personal favorite. read more

Had them most delicious Indian food at Vindaloo! Started with the mango lassi and it was sooo good - so thick and flavourful. We ordered the chicken masala, aloo gobi, garlic naan and shrimp briyani. Everything tasted so good that I kept eating and forgot that I was full. The portions are big so we got leftover for the next day. The food even taste better the next day! Highly recommend! Will be back here soon! read more

Very good! The only thing that I thought wasn't excellent was the saffron rice had very little saffron in it and the butter chicken was sweeter than I have had before. That said, the garlic naan was delicious and there was plenty of chicken in the butter chicken. The onion bhaji was very tasty as well. Good sized portions we ordered through Uber Eats, will have to try to restaurant next time! read more

I had a craving for spicy food, so did a yelp search and located this restaurant. I am usually a huge fan of huge masala, this one I find the fish a bit soggy and it was fried before placed in the sauce. The fish lacks flavour. The butter chicken tasted better. Ambiance not bad and friendly service. (3.5 stars) read more

Mmmmmm!! I give Vindaloo 5 stars for their food, ambience and service! We ordered their buttered chicken, spinach and cheese curry and the curry scallops. The spinach and cheese dish was my favourite!! We also ordered the garlic and original naans which were equally as delicious! The garlic naan could totally be eaten on its own because it was very flavourful. The servers were also up to par with the food. They were constantly pouring our cups with water whenever they saw them being half full! Also a bonus star for the free masala chai drinks the waitress gave us tonight! I will definitely order that next time! read more

Chicken tikka masala was very flavorful and tasty. Saag paneer was even better! Had both dishes with their naan and roti which were done very well. We did prefer the naan over the roti because it was nice and soft. The dishes both came woth basmati rice and a rice pudding dessert. Will definitely be back to try out their other dishes. Great indian food near the bluffs! read more

Oh my! So good!!! I found myself constantly saying how amazing this food was/is. I purposefully made myself leave some for leftovers so I can have it for lunch the following day (I'm eating it as I type this!). Location: There is some parking right in front of this restaurant, but heading west to arrive meant that I had to make a U-turn. There isn't a lot of parking directly in front, but you can probably find a spot on a side street nearby. Staff: The brief interaction with staff was pleasant (I ordered online to do take out). The food was ready exactly when they said it was. Food: I had the Chicken Korma (mild) and I am in love with it. So good! It was seasoned well, and the Garlic Naan I ordered paired extremely well with it! It was great consistency and overall it was very delicious. I'll definitely order from them again (and maybe even try dining in at some point!) read more

The food here is absolutely amazing We used to live on the edge of little India on coxwell and I have eaten a lot of Indian food in Toronto. I've only eaten here twice, but the masala is amazing. Not too spicy, mildly sweet just the right amount of intensity in the heat. read more

My boyfriend and I tried this spot in the middle of covid lockdown. Needless to say we are in our 2nd modified closure and we have been ordering from here every 1 or 2 weeks for our Indian fix. We love it. Very flavourful Indian food. Everything comes together quite nicely. My order usually is: Paneer Makahani Raita Saffron Rice His order is: Chicken Tikka Garlic Naan (this place serves the best he has had) For both of us: Amritsari Pakora (fish pakora) , This is AMAZING. This is a really great spot and now we are addicted! read more

Love this place! The people that run it are great and the food is absolutely delicious. A true hidden gem.

If I could give this place a negative score I would !!! Our food was cold and some of the items weren't even cooked !!!! The peas were still frozen when we bit into them !!! Its hard to support local business during this time when they cant even remember to cook the food before sending it out ! Hands down worst indian food I've ever had ! I do NOT recommend anyone eat here ! I truly dont even want to give one star read more

Small cozy Indian restaurant with good service and the food was excellent. Has the saag paneer and lamb masala. The rices and rotis were excellent too read more

Great local take-home staple, slowly exploring more dishes. Chicken from the tandoor oven is always tasty. Garlic naan and papadum also always a safe choice. Chicken biryani and seared scallops are frequently ordered. Quality ingredients and wholesome meals. Keep up the stoke Vindaloo. read more

Vindaloo Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

So so so so grossed out !!! I ordered from here and they sent me uncooked food !!! It was disgusting and the portions were so small !!!

It. Doesn't. Get. Better. Than. This. Vinadloo is my FAVOURITE spot for Indian in the city by far. Their butter chicken is truly mesmerizing. Unlike many other butter chicken in the city, vindaloo pairs spice with an indescribable sweet aftertaste with every bite. Their garlic naan is excellent and they provide 10% off with free rice when you order for pick up! Staff is always exceptionally friendly, and meal is always ready on time. I cannot recommend this spot enough. We get it at least once a week. read more

I'm first time here. It's a nice place, nice food, nice service. I order appetizers and main course to gather. I was expecting appetizer should be served first, so main course will be served hot also but unfortunately they served all once so main course was got cold when start eating. read more

Vindaloo has been on our radar for a while now, but when it comes to Indian food in Scarborough, we normally go to our two favorite South Indian spots. Tonight, we decided to be brave and finally try this restaurant - we were not disappointed. Not sure what we're were expecting, but when we opened the front door we found a beautifully decorated clean restaurant in immaculate condition playing nice relaxing authentic Indian Music which set the mood for the delicious food. There was two of us, my husband and myself, and we shared the Vegetable Pakoras and a bowl of Muligitawny Soup. The Pakoras were good, but the soup was wonderful - very intricate flavours with an undertone of citrus. For our mains we had Seared Scallops in a masala sauce (the Scallops were perfectly coooked and the flavour authentic but didn't overpower the Scallops,) Lamb Madras (delicious!), Butter Chicken (my husband thought there was too much cinnamon, but I thought it was perfect), and Channa Masala (again, delicious). We topped that off with some rice and Garlic Naan which was so fresh and light and awesome. I know that's a lot of food for two people, but we always order enough for lunch the next day. Finally, have to mention the service was excellent as well. The server was friendly and attentive. Now we have three Indian restaurants to call our own out here plus we (barely) made it into their delivery area, so we can also have it delivered. read more

Ordered from here twice now, both times delivery. Food was delivered hot and both times flavours were magnificent. There are many Indian places in the neighbourhood and I have finally found my go-to. Saag paneer was hearty, big chunks of paneer, and not at all soupy. Naan was a bit too doughy but lacha paratha was beautifully flakey and delicious. Chicken tandoori was the furthest thing from dry, so big win! Four solid stars only because I have yet to taste other dishes and have only gotten take out. So far, great representation, and can't wait to try more of what they offer. read more

Utterly fantastic! May be the best Indian food I've ever had. The flavours are rich, complex and vary nicely from one dish to the next. Everything is fresh. Naan is excellent in taste and texture. People are warm and service is prompt. Room is comfortable and interesting with lovely booths for 2-6 people. Excellent! read more

Not what I expected I want to start this review with a note that the owners tried to explain the food and were very kind. I've eaten many Indian dishes over the years (a few very, very good - both abroad and in Canada) so I'm confident to express my opinion. We came here mid week, hoping to find another "hidden gem" as we haven't found many wonderful Indian restaurants in the east end of Toronto and we had read the wonderful reviews. The place was empty, except for a few take out orders coming in to pick up or deliver. We ordered an appetizer plate first, then our meals of lamb vindaloo and chicken tikka Marsala. It started with a totally disappointing appetizer experience. I wish I had taken a picture, but the flattened, smooth golf-ball sized and shaped pakora (and after asking the waitress where my onion bhaji was as I didn't recognize it on the plate. Found out they were there but were exact same shape, size, colour and texture of the pakora was that only way to tell the difference was to see green on the outside). These were definitely not the onion bhaji and pakoras I've known to love and enjoy. I was told they just make them different - oddly shaped like the frozen ones I've seen at Indian supermarkets. And the samosas? A nice taste but unfortunately filled with soft mashed potatoes vs. a nice textured filling. The menu said papadams were included with what I had ordered, but when I inquired about those missing off the appetizer plate too, I was told they don't serve them anymore as people in the area wanted gluten free. And that totally had me flumixed. Papadams ARE gluten free. So I just asked them to package up the rest of our order for takeout as I was pretty certain the rest would be the same. Yes, I was disappointed. I will just finish this to say the rest of the food was mediocre. Both other meat dishes used heat vs having depth of flavor. I love heat, but it has to accompany the complex delicious flavours that Indian food is famous for. And this just didn't have it. So for us, we didn't find that hidden gem we were hoping to find. And price point? high - in my opinion for their offerings. read more

The butter chicken was amazing! Personally the best butter chicken I've ever had! I highly recommend it. Vinadaloo is a must-try restaurant. I'll be back for sure! read more

A little restaurant with good food and an amazing space. It's across from a high school so if you go during lunch time you'll sometimes have to deal with their annoying screaming but any other time this place is pristine. read more

Just had dinner here, I'm always skeptical of places with on review by one person who's only done one review... Okay I'm not the best person at writing reviews but am pretty good a reading ones probably written by the owner. Anyway... Just has dinner here and was more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Apps: Mulligatawny Soup - lentil based puree, good light citrus flavour, lots of fresh kari leaves and (fresh?) grated coconut as garnish. Veggie pakoras - cooked to order, a bit heavy but nice flavor and came with a mild red sauce. Mains: Seared Scallops - cooked rare as I like them, brought back memories of eating Debu's on Bayview. Great sauce, nicely spiced that didn't overpower the taste of the scallops (did find some sand/grit in one of them). Serving size 4 large scallops. Will order again. Butter Chicken - Not my favorite version, a bit too heavy on cinnamon (?) for my palate, though a nice heat, lots of chicken cooked correctly. Lamb Madras - What can I say, the old chef school adage, if it tastes good with butter add some more and it will taste better - well it worked, lot's of buttery flavour and the meat was melt in my mouth tender, perfect heat. Channa Masala - No Indian meal for e is complete without a chick pea dish. This is pretty good. Though I do have to tip my hat to Karaikudi on Kennedy as I think theirs is slightly better (Channa Batura). Nice hot fresh perfectly cooked garlic naan, so many places make it too thick and it's doughy - not here. Basmati rice - nice light and fluffy, look like scented with a bit of saffron. While we still love love and go to Anjappar & Karaikudi it's nice that there is a (relatively) new kid on the block. read more

First time ordering from Vindaloo Indian Cuisine. I ordered through their website for delivery. Half an hour later I received a call from the restaurant and was informed that there would be an added delivery charge of $7.00 for my order because I am 6km away from the restaurant as opposed to 5km, in which case, delivery would be free. Their website does not state this at all, and in fact, shows my address as within their delivery boundaries. I indicated to the woman on the phone that this should be made clear and/or they should have informed me before processing the order. She was not receptive; my partner ended up talking to her and she finally agreed to charge only $3.00 for delivery. The food arrived at the expected time. Ordered the Paneer Masala, Aloo Gobi, rice, garlic naan, and vegetable pakoras. All in all, the food was good: hot, well-spiced, decent portions, and the naan was very fluffy. However, due to the terrible customer service experience, I will not be ordering again. Perhaps the restaurant can learn from this experience so as not to lose future potential customers. If they had agreed to waive the delivery charge for this order due to their error, I would have happily ordered again for pick up. read more

all reviews seems to be bought.. we ordered goat briyani and chicken tikka. briyani masala was raw, raitha had mayonnaise. tikka was OK, mint chutney had added green colour. read more

At first I was skeptical of this place because it was empty when I walked in. However the food is excellent. The food didn't take long to come out. I had two curry dishes and a rice to share and it came out to around 30 dollars. It was a bit expensive for a smaller dish but I would probably come back if I was in the area read more
