I got the chance to visit for the first time during burger month and I was so grateful that it lead me here. The food is absolutely incredible. A lot of the dishes seem well thought out I’ve found that the unique dishes are some of the best. The staff and owner seem very kind and genuine as well. I look forward to it every time I go here.

We stopped in pretty early for dinner and got a fantastic reception with stories and education on South Indian cuisine. It's obvious that the folks who work here, from the waiter to the chef, love what they do and delight in sharing their knowledge and skills.Dietary restrictions: They ask if you have any dietary needs prior to taking your order and endeavor to accommodate you.

This restaurant has unreal food. So much flavour and it feels very authentic. The butter chicken poutine is an experience! Highly recommend!

The smoke was pouring out of the kitchen into the seating area of the restaurant, our eyes were stinging, we had to wash all our clothes when we arrived home; this is unacceptable and they should be shut down until they fix their ventilation. Our server was friendly but not good, the food was satisfactory but wait times were too long. A little pricey. Won’t be back.

Food used to be tasty. I used to order gobi Manchurian and yellow nicely seasoned rice.....this time they served mostly just gravy and white rice and I was disappointed.

Came for the burger special and it was delicious. Service was great. It was busy and so a bit noisy but we could talk and hear each other with no problem.

Such a great experience!! The food was incredible! We thought we had ordered too much when it arrived on the table but we made quick work of it. My parents were raving about it for the rest of their weekend visit. Excellent service, as well. Lovely waiter who was very attentive and shared background and history around some dishes. We will definitely be back soon!

We always search out Indian food on the road. Although Tamil cuisine is different from northern Indian, this place was exceptional. Try a dosia. We all enjoyed the simple potato but the paneer was memorable too. Of course the meat eaters had delicious butter chicken. I loved the Chana masala, the chick peas were firm and the sauce just right. Fascinating and yummy desserts too. Somehow there was room for galub jamin! Server was charming, helpful and patient. We’ll be back.
The pros of this place: A fabulous interior.Other than that, I was disappointed with this place. The guy who was at the front was so unwelcoming. The lady at least gave us a smile. Dosai was average. Kothuporotta was a disaster. Tea was good though.

I enjoyed the lunch as much as any at any Indian restaurant. I had the Samosas (Chicken) and the taste and texture were superb as were the range of spice dips. There were 3 on the dish and that would have been enough food but I thought I would try a Masala Dosai and again the spice and accompaniments were excellent. All in all I ate too much for lunch but will be back soon to try some of the other main dishes. The ambience and privacy are fine and the music os not too loud. Service was superb and attentive and prompt. I did not have to wait long at all for the dishes and another customer nearby had an off menu meal created by the staff just for her taste.
