Great deal on the samosas here and some of the best Ive tried in Scarborough! The ratio of the samosa mix vs outer crust is perfect!

Great place. Not as busy as it used to be, but still a good stop! They definitely had more business before the neighbouring restaurant moved in, but I’ve been going there since I was a kid. The sweets are very fresh and taste amazing! That’s why I would keep going back again.

Review β„–10

Slow service althought it was not busy. I see a sign saying freshness takes time. However it does not justify you serving me cold food and making me wait Long. Taste is alright, nothing special. HAVE NEVER HAD A WHOLE BEETROOT IN MY COLD SAMOSA CHAAT...WHO PUTS BEETROOT IN CHAAT..

Yesterday we picked up catering food for our guests. I drove from ajax to Scarborough in hope that food will be of good quality, but when we served the food to our guests, we were disheartened with the quality. The Karahi paneer was sour, the paneer pieces were so thick and hard like rock. It was worst karahi paneer, we have ever experienced. The kadhi pakora was terrible too and the daal makhni was equally bad with so much water and no taste. Our guests were disappointed, this kind of food is not good for health either. The restaurant is so busy that guys working on the front they don’t care about customer service, for them it seems that they are doing free service to customers and were rude when I called them asking to talk to the owner. This is deem to happen in business when owner, is not involved in day to-today operations and they are not willing to listen to customer issues and have a β€œwe don’t care attitude”. I hope the owner will spare time in reading this review with open mind. For us we are done, we are not going back to this restaurant and will not recommend our friends either.

Ordered food for take out for my son’s wedding during covid times. It was delicious and had a very authentic Indian taste. Highly recommend the Ras malai! Amazing taste! The food was very well packed with no leaks and no disturbance to the garnish. The quantity was more than sufficient. They were very accommodating to our requests. All the best!

Review β„–18

It was horrible experience. I placed an order via phone. The guys had a LOT LOT LOT OF ATTITUDE.He asked me for my name and I was spelling it for him but he interrupted me rudely. I asked if you can make food less spicy and he replied they CAN’T. He did not use THANK YOU, SORRY.I felt so bad after placing an order.Then, when I reached there, I called to check if my order is ready and the same guy told me I told you it will take 30 mins why are you calling?I was taken aback with his answer.I called again and asked to cancel my order because it was very bad customer service.I would not recommend this place!!!

Review β„–21

The food is horrible and not at all fresh. Portions are not worth the price chickpeas were stale potato was tough bhaturas were soaking in oil Im surprised at all the fake reviews within the last few weeks giving them 4-5 stars only wrote 2 reviews which is a point to be noted my friends that it is the workers themselves they know theyre going down hill

Review β„–22

My mom and I have been coming here for over a decade. We personally don’t enjoy sweets, so we get an extra veg option. The food is amazing, the naan is fresh to order so you have to wait for it to be baked. I find their food consistently delicious.Pictured below is two Veggie Thali combos. 2 for $20 (that’s with tax). Both Thali’s come with salad, rice, and your choice of naan/roti/bhatura. Naan is on the left and Bhatura on the right.My personal faves are the Palak Paneer, Aloo Gobi, and Matar Paneer.I have no real comments on the service, a few years ago they changed staff/owners, and the previous guy was so friendly and would always make conversation.

Review β„–23

Felt very disrespected, the students who work there are untrained servants. Hope this message reaches to owner.After my turn came to order, two guys standing in went inside. I was standing there for few minutes, it literally felt like I wasnt welcome there to order. No more visits from me to this unprofessional place. I recommend everyone to stay away as well.

Ungentlemanly behaviour with the customers from the two gentle mens at the front. Completely not acceptable in customer service business. I would suggest the owner to teach them manners before anything. Worst experience. Please ignore this place if possible.

Ive been going here for many years but looks like the owners have changed .Before when i use to go service was quick ,and food was also fresh and staff was friendly . Now the food is still fresh but service is very slow . These new students running the place dont really know whats going on and sometimes when i order thali the thali is ready and the naan is also there but they never call client to pick up order we have to sit there and keep asking by then food gets cold .. Old owners or the old guys running the place better

First time in 50 years, I was offered a birthday meal and text didnt say that it was only to be taken on the same day as ur birthday or u would miss free meal. Thats not fair as people have busy love and couldnt make visit on birthday for this meal. They should give few days to claim.

Today i ordered chaat papri from this restaurant, i ordered hot , instead of using any hot sauce, they just put 4 to 5 spoons of red chilli powder, i was not able to eat it, just throw it, stay away from this restaurant. Bad experience. I won’t even give 0 star to it.

Wish I could give 0 rating. Just ordered motichoor Laddu and milk cake and they sent khoya barfi. I called them to confirm and the reply he gave was shocking-β€œMam our chef changed the recipe so that’s why it’s little light in colour”I mean seriously? The colour can be different but taste and how come a change in recipe can entirely change the taste.

First I gave him 4 start. But today I ordered my food from them and they make very bad. I asked them specially for yogurt inside my food and they said yogurt is inside but when I opened there is no yogurt and food taste was very bad specially onions. I was not able to eat my food. And I think they are using old stuff in my food.WORST EXPERIENCE AND WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE.

This restaurant is running a scam on skip the dishes. The meal is called Channa Bhatura served with a bhatura, puri and your choice or Naan or roti. But they only gave one Naan and there is no bhatura. Very disappointed that the restaurant is making fool of people by mis-labling dishes and false advertising as to what will be provide in the order.

Take out order - food quality was ok. But they were not following the govt mandated COVID precautionary measures. The lady that was taking the order was not wearing a mask. Notice two customers walked in without mask and the were not even asked by the lady taking the order to wear one. The place definitely to be avoided until the situation improves.

It is a nice small shop with limited seating. Food is good and portions are decent. I tried Indian thsli in which you can choose your options from the dishes present. The paneer dishes were good and nice. The roti and naan were decent. I choose to have gulab jamun and that was also nice. Spice levels are low so it will suit all.

We went to eat and the price was reasonable but the restaurant near to it was offering same thing for less price.... And I dont even see the extraordinary quality which would differentiate them being costly..... So all in all average experience......... Changing my review just because of a single employee named AKASH worst customer service.... Doesnt know how to deliver a good customer experience.... Lack of enthusiasm towards his work..... Just plainly worst employee of the whole restaurant..... If I could rate him as an individual... I would give him in negative star.....
