Last time i odered Dabeli Dhokla and Tea , this time I odered vada pao and Tea .Tea is super awesome.Highly recommend to everyone must vist GOVARDHAN THAL. Thanku kavya and team.❤️❤️“

“I got the freezeland and paneer sandwich (and a Oreo milkshake and ginger chai), everything was above expectation. The size of the sandwich was huge, I was full eating only half and I got a ready meal for lunch tomorrow. I’m surprised more folks haven’t mentioned this, but the quantity is amazing! Finding food items that are Jain friendly, tasty, and that excel in both quality and quantity is extremely rare.
I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the Jain items and get myself another Oreo milkshake!“

“Delicious food, friendly staff and cozy environment. Definitely recommend their food especially butter chicken and malai chicken tikka. Love this place.❤️“

“I love this place. They have amazing vegan options but also options for meat eaters as well. Good wine selection and cocktails. Best vegan caesar salad in the city and the Hakka tofu is lovely as well.“

“The food is amazing.. staffs are so nice and friendly.“

“This is my go-to place for biryani. The best I've had! Light, fluffy and delicately spiced. The food is so good and the staff are so friendly it's like my 2nd home! The gongura biryani (veg or chicken) is probably my favourite, also really like the mughlai chicken biryani.“

“This white sauce pasta was absolutely delicious! The sauce was perfectly creamy, rich, and flavorful with just the right balance of herbs and spices. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the bits of onion and bell pepper added a nice crunch and freshness. The garlic bread was crisp, buttery, and paired so well with the pasta — great for dipping into that smooth sauce. A comforting, satisfying meal that I’d definitely love to have again!“

“We have passed the sign for Dhillon's Karahi many times without eating there. That is our loss. We decided on a whim to check it out this evening and were delighted with our meal. The samosas were delicious: having the sauces on top, rather than on the side, gave them a special flavour. The mixed vegetables and Lamb Korma were perfectly done. And the Naan and rice were the perfect compliments. We enjoyed and will be back. Thank you.“

“Delicious food“

“Had a great time at Brar’s! The food was tasty, but what really made the experience special was Harpreet. She was super patient, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Really appreciated her warm attitude—it made the meal even better. Thanks, Harpreet!“

“Delicious food here. But the service is GOD Awful!!! The waiting time is anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes from the time you order. Be sure to check your food before leaving countless times you get something else or missing items. The food here is good not gonna lie there. But the service staff are either slow or let you wait there very long. If they said it's gonna take 10 minutes that's a LIE your waiting close to 40 mins. Would order again here but knowing the times is best. This is my experience from the last 10x I've been here. Lots of uber drivers there waiting and swearing it's fun to watch.“

“Had the Chicken Tikka Sandwich at the pop-up in The Food District, Square One. It was so good. Perfectly spiced chicken with melty cheese! Can't wait to have another“

“I always go to this place with my kids they love their cheese dosa. The staff is very friendly as well. we always have great time“

“Came in & ordered Paneer Bhurji Dosa, Mixed Veg Uthappam & Mango Lassi. Sandeep served us with a great smile, warmth & professionalism. Me & my friend felt welcomed. The food was good in terms of quality, taste & the food quantity was more than enough. I recommend this place to South Indian food lovers“

“An amazing Indian restaurant and take out , looks amazing and amazing food ! Highly recommended 👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Bawarchi Biryanis Toronto - Authentic Indian Restaurant in Scarborough“

“Decided to try TAKEOUT from here. Omg! So delicious! Fresh fresh fresh. and sooo good. Please try this GREAT local gem!!!💎“

“If you're looking for a quaint indian restaurant with delicious indian food and excellent service, Kadak is the place. Try the Peacock cocktail, served in a delightful cup. We also had the butter chicken, the Aamchi mutton ( goat) and the kale saag paneer. Everything was flavorful, the meats were well seasoned and soft. Dessert was the Gulab Jamoon creme brulee. We requested a gluten free and nut free meal which was prepared for us at no extra cost. Thank you Kadak for a delicious meal.“

“Came here at 21:30 on Wednesday March 4 2026. The ladies here were so kind and patient with me as I asked questions about their vegetarian options and the differences between the flatbread offerings. This menu has such amazing variety and flavour profiles that I imagine even the pickiest eaters can find something they like (such as myself!). I was worried that the items I wanted to try would use too much garlic and onion As I write this review it’s 1:16 am and I don’t have any nausea so I think I’m in the clear. I ordered the paratha and Chana masala (the more tomato version) and a samosa with the tangy sauce. The total came to 26.88. I decided to eat part of the order there as it was already so late and I hadn’t eaten since 12 and having just finished work was hungry. The food was steaming hot which was amazing as I was cold on such a Canadian winter day. They were kind to not make me feel rushed at all considering the time. The environment in the restaurant was clean and calm and I know I was getting a good quality “home cooked meal”. There was great pride in her establishments menu and she explained how each item is made and prepared and how they differ. I enjoyed talking about the history of Trinidad and how Aroma has a mixture of Trinidadian , Jamaican, south and East Asian foods.
I will definitely be back. Thank you for nourishing me.“

“We had veg thali and desi noodles ... they were delicious!“

“Best food and service with awesome ambience in Ontario. Diksha suggested and served us great Food. I'll surely come again.“

“Tasty food and good quality , very friendly and efficient staff“

“Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your time with your families and friends.“

“We had the opportunity to visit this delightful spot and were truly impressed! Twisted Indian offers a unique and flavorful take on Indian fusion cuisine. We tried the butter chicken takos, naanwich, samosas, and mango ice cream—and every bite was amazing. The flavors were bold and satisfying, and the portions were so generous we didn’t even need supper afterward! This place is a hidden gem, and we’ll definitely be going back again soon.“

“Food we ordered was awesome 😋“

“The best Food🍜 The bEst Drinks 🍷 The best Vibes Ever 🍾 Must Visit BAWARA, TORONTO ( The Indian Restaurant) 🚀“

“This is such a lucky find. I was craving samosa for the last two days and I was going to make them myself only to discover I don’t have all the spices needed. Being a rainy day February 20 2026 and not feeling the greatest I didn’t want to drive around in rush hour traffic. I came upon this place and I’m really grateful. They really do serve hot fresh home cooked food. I got three samosa and Chana masala and plain naan. Everything was made fresh by the three family members. Everything was flavourful without being too overpowering (I was worried about the Chana masala being too heavy on the onion and garlic but it’s wasn’t). The sweet sauce with the samosa was so good. I was sweating eating everything lol (I don’t think it’s every spicy it’s likely because I have been eating a lot of bland food lately) but I think that’s a good sign and just what my body needed to help me feel better. Overall my total was either $14 or $16 and it was really filling. While I was waiting there was another man there getting a large order and then another man came in and asked me if the food was good there. So we both came across this place randomly today and were trying it for the first time. If you see this I hope you also enjoyed your meal!

The man who originally answered the phone and the woman working the front were all so accomodating , patient and kind. Thank you :) I’ll probably be back tomorrow :)“

“Wow! I went there tonight for dinner for the 1st time and it won't be my last. Absolutely looooove the foods, the friendly & yet very professional service. If you love Indian dishes, then this resto is a must!!!“

“We had the best food ever .. keep up the good work guys… will visit again“

“Excellent food and service! Will definitely return! Raj was amazing! Very friendly and informative!“

“Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts!

Spoiled for choice along the Danforth, my love for momos doesn't stop there. Sitting in a thick tomato-based sauce that brings a pronounced sweetness and a touch of nuttiness from soybean that soaks into the momo wrapper. The filling of chicken and onions is plump and juicy, ultimately combining with that addictive sauce. Completing the trio, chunks of lamb combined with an earthy spinach curry for the protein, and garlic naan for the starch.“

“We drove from out of own to eat here and we were thrilled. The food, the owner and servers were very pleasant, helpful in ordering and made our experience a wonderful one. we would definitely return .It's worth the hours drive!“

“Yesterday after golf, a few of us decided to get together for a backyard thing. Socially distanced of course. Nobody had thought to arrange for food. I called Salimah and family at Khaike Paan. And within 30 minutes they prepared a succulent meal of Mishkaki, ribs, mogo and Kari kababs. The guys all enjoyed a beautiful meal. This establishment is run by a wonderful and warm family who always deliver the goods at the very best quality. #getyoureastafricanfixatkhaikepaan“

“I love getting Indian food takeout from here. The chicken biryani is so good, large size comes with 2 pieces of chicken. Their food choices are not as spicy as other Indian places in GTA, so its great for non Indian palette. They always have boneless butter chicken, boned curry chicken, and a very spicy boned chicken dish, plus 3 different vegetable dishes daily, in addition to lentil & chickpeas. I always buy tubs of food (they have small or large size) when I am in that mall. I find the lady always very pleasant, and don’t understand about the negative reviews.“

“All the food at the Samosarie is delicious! A perfect option to pick something up for dinner and just add rice! I especially love Mum’s chicken curry and Caribbean lentil soup. Also many vegan dishes! ❤️❤️“

“I’ve been to Biryani Nation a couple of times, and you might think I’m saying this just because I’m South Indian but honestly, that’s not the case. I’ve never taken the time to review any Indian restaurant in Canada until now, and that’s because this place truly deserves it.

Their pulao is outstanding I’ve tried both their veg and non-veg options and I’m in love with both. You can genuinely taste the chef’s passion in every bite; it feels like the food is made with love.

So far, this is the best spot I’ve found for authentic, flavorful Indian food. Highly recommended“

“Was invited for a family event. There were 20 of us. My aunt had kept the orders simple as there were many seniors who were unable to eat spicy foods. Foods ordered: chicken tikka, lamb kabab/skewers, yellow dal, rice, cauliflower vegetables, chicken tawa, kulfi and gulab jaman. All of the food items were brilliant. Staff were attentive and pace of service was good. Will definitely recommend. And return.“

“always have great food whenever we come. it’s been awhile.. Butter chicken, paneer tikka, tandooori chicken…we’re good and hot… only place we have goat curry Mac made sure we never ran out of water or fresh naan.. Very friendly and professional..“

“The Food is incredible love the juiciness of the meat, the service is quit nice 5 stars, and the Atmosphere was pretty good most saying its a small restaurant it deserves more... people... there for the restaurant was amazing I would come here again later on to dine and will definitely recommend this to my friends. The Pay per person was really good saying that is 2026 while writing this it cost $10-20 per person.“

“Feb 18 2024 This was my first experience having South Indian cuisine. We relied on the expert recommendations from our server Akeel. The Dosas, Pav Bhaji, Spiced Lassi and Mango lassi were delish!! Akeel and the rest of the staff were very professional, friendly and courteous. Reasonably priced and tasty fare. We will definitely be back for more!!“

“Absolutely terrific food and service!!!“

“I dont have enough words to praise the food. Exact indian homestyle food and authentic taste like mother's cook.
I am happy to share my views about delicious food served.
Quantity is also great, and value for money.

Must try this place.“

“Last night, I had dinner with my friends at a fantastic restaurant. The seating area was great, and the service was excellent. I tried plenty of curry dishes, but the lamb vindaloo and butter chicken were especially outstanding. The authentic taste truly lingered on my tongue. The samosas and pakoras were also delicious. Another favorite dish of mine was the tandoori chicken, which was absolutely amazing.“

“The vibe was really nice because of the decorations the bathrooms were relatively clean and the tables were a lot cleaner there was a fly buzzing around but I think it may not usually and it was just this time, the place is inspected professionally the there is a lot of options on the menu. They also have a separate menu for Indian Chinese (Hakka) food it is good“

“It was a good experience .. loved the dosas“

“Excellent ambiance,tasty food,value for money“

“I have a favorite spot for butter chicken, and I thought it was the best—until I tried this restaurant’s version. Their butter chicken is very different from the ones I’ve had before. It has a lemony taste, beautiful presentation, and it’s not too spicy. Absolutely perfect when paired with their fresh plain naan! 😋 will definitely go back again“
