My Wife ordered food from here through Uber eats, wherein she ordered some Dhaba Platter which says it has got some different type of kabab and chicken, after receiving the order, in the platter there were some 10 pieces of chicken covered with the vegetables, and when i called them, they said sorry and gave me the reason stating that they’re out of chicken and today Friday night the restaurant is open till 3 am, i mean what is this reason that you’re out of chicken and moreover Soya tikka has only 4 pieces, you guys are charging some 22 cad plus taxes for the platter and you’re giving some pieces of chicken and then you say we are out of chicken, Wow, please don’t do this, its our hard earned money, after working for the whole week everyone wants to just relax and have some good food and not to be fooled, definitely not gonna order from here again and will never ever recommend this to anyone.

I ordered vegetarian food online via Skip application. The packaging of food was awesome as they used leakproof containers .Also regarding the food , I would say taste was good overall. The quantity again was good. Apart from the food which I ordered , they sent a rice bowl and papad as a reward which was cool .I would say you will be satisfied from the service and the food they provide here.

I want to give a negative rating but google will not let me do that. While I was talking to the manager regarding the problem with my food she just left in between and did not even allow me to complete my sentence. She was so rude and doesnt know how to treat customers. The food was also not soo good, there was no gravy in my paneer sabzi. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I celebrated my birthday today with my family. Arrangement was nice, the offered nice starters and service was nice too but the daal and vegetable curry was not good & they have very limited options in vegetarian dishes. They need to add on to that. It’s a nice one time place to visit.

Absolutely disgusting. Don’t know how this is saag paneer with inedible seeds. Avoid this place, smells like food poisoning.Edit:Seeds are shown in the photo attached LolAnd the ubereats order receipt.You clearly need to check whats going on in your place.

Worst food Ever. Never going to order food from this restaurant again. I got stomach ache after eating their food. The consistency of butter chicken was so watery and Garlic Naan was so chewy.

I went to this restaurant with my friends. One item we ordered was extremely salty and we couldnt eat that. The staff was un attentive. It was not a busy time, we called the waitress and waited a long for her to attend our table but she avoided us. Then we had to ask an another waitress. The the main dish and the naan were good.

Review №26

We have been to this restaurant in the past a couple pf times but recently when we visited this restaurant, the customer service provided to us by the food servers did not meet our expectations. The order wasnt taken properly, the food served did not feel like it is hot, and even when we asked him for additional food before the kitchen closing time, the server refused stating that the kitchen is closed already.

The location of the restaurant is good. Before going i had heard mixed reviews about the restaurant. The service was really nice. We got some papad and mango shake shots. Our order took a long time to come. The quantity was enough but the taste of food was average. We asked for spicy food but it was not at all spicy.

Poor Service and Quality of food, not tolerable.Do not recommend to visit. Waste of money and time. Girl servers are rude and disrespecting to customers. Stop Judging people who drink late night if you don’t know them.Worst Indian Cuisine in terms of food and service in Toronto

Review №38

Very bad service!! Reminding customers again and again that we are closing at 1:45am which is not right on google it says 2:00am. I understand that aswell but after reminding that they made restrictions with food serving times aswell which is not at all feels good. Feels like they are very angry on us why we came at 1:00 am, I don’t understand their behaviour at all. I know its there closing time they don’t want to work at closing time but me and my family was very hungry at this time and we were out of town here so, we atleast deserve a smile while coming and a common greetings. Well sorry for the bad review but it is what it is you deserve this review! :)

Went there for friend’s birthday dinner. Called them to ask if we could dine in. They said 1:30am our kitchen closes so we said no worries we can give you a straight order. When we reach there the cook was right infront of us demanding us to take out. We said we don’t want take out. He sat us down and later we ordered veg platter. And OMG! We couldn’t believe it they literally served us uncooked vegs. And they didn’t even chop the tomatoes. Our main course arrived. We just started to eat the cook came again he said,”do you guys need anything,Oh the kitchen is closed but I was just doing the formality by asking you. So guys could leave”. I mean the food was not free!! We were paying for it. We paid about 200$ for uncooked food. If you don’t want to serve the food or have problem seating people say them directly. Donot waste anyone’s money and time.

Review №46

Worst experience ever. Manager was super rude and ignorant. She walked away while we were still speaking with her. Never seen such bad customer service in Canada. Food was super spicy. We had to wait for 40 mins to get our food because they were busy looking after online orders and even after waiting for so long we were all hungry as the food was not good too. We were charged for the food we never had but we were all so tired to go talk about that thing too so we paid and left.

Butter chicken was fine, Chana Masala was not good. We ordered takeout, and the butter chicken was nice and hot, but the chana masala was lukewarm at most. Tasted microwaved. Tried to call them back and got no response. Ive eaten here before and liked it. I think Aroma is better and it is just around the corner, however this spot is open much later.

Some staff needs to be changed, I tried calling the number to order for pick up for more then 10 times, no response, once one girl picked the call and then suddenly dropped the line!We are regular customers, and this is third time in a row that no response!So finally we went to other restaurant to have food!!Owner should definitely do something regarding this issue!!!

The food tasted delicious. There’s a wide selection of hot food and cold salads for the lunch buffet. In one of the dishes there were a few cardamon pods. It’s refreshing to see real spices and ingredients in the dish. The restaurant wasn’t busy so it’s easy to get a table for a group.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.this place is absolutely disgusting. horrible customer service. the waitress is so rude. we ordered butter chicken, naan and rice and our bill was over $60. the food did not even taste good. we spoke with the chef and he was rude too.

Review №76

The worst experience third time in a row! I am a regular customer but the way I get treatment as if they don’t care. First time my order was messed up- it was spilled. Spoke to restaurant and they apologized. Second time the items were missing from the order so I was promised to get comp rice and chhole with next order. Third time I placed an order and asked for rice and papad- forget about the rice, the dish (saag paneer) I ordered was cold and smelling and taste stale. I am done with this restaurant. I would never recommend to anyone and yes late night people do not go to this restaurant, you won’t get a proper food, forget about service! Pathetic

Review №80

Theyve obviously tweaked around their menu to suit the taste buds of locals, while still trying to retain the Indian touch. But for someone whos been fed in the Indian Punjab for most part of his life, this place could be a tad underwhelming.To give credit where its due, they have a good variety in the lunch buffet and is priced reasonably ok for the location and ambience. But for someone looking to get a taste of authentic desi flavor, while only making a fleeting visit to Toronto, it could be a mixed bag dining at this place.

It want bad. Definitely worth almost 4 stars, the food is nicely spiced and flavourful, it could be warmer though. The hot plates they use are not the best.

Review №83

Server was really polite and welcoming. So happy he gave me a generous bowl of fresh green chillies with my meal. Even with a grain-free vegan diet, I was able to have quite a few options.So happy they had fruit available as well. There were a few vegan salads to choose from. The hot plates were also okay. No particular dish stood out for me that day, even though Id prefer warm dishes especially during the cold winter days, I was more than happy to eat the fresh pineapple.The green chillies really made the meal much more enjoyable. They started cleaning a little after 2:30pm so they urged that I take my last plate, if I wanted before the took the food away.Overall, I wished the food made a good impression on me because I love Indian food and am still in search for a go-to place nearby. However, I am happy to have came, tried, and now checked off this place on my want to go list.

Being a vegetarian, I always found it hard to find a proper restaurant. I am glad I found this hidden gem. They have plenty of vegetarian dishes to choose from. The Punjabi Kat-hal and Cashew Porcini Paneer were utterly delicious. I’m impressed with the food quality and the service which I received. I can’t recommend this place enough.

My review is based on a Sunday late Lunch Buffet. Food was all cold. Meat curries were okay. Desert didnt have any authentic dish. No Gulab Jaman or Rasmalai or Carrot Halwa. Customer Service was very good though. Overall not going here for a at least 6 months from now.
