On several occasions, I have dined here, and I did think the food was delicious and of high quality. Last evening's dinner was chaotic. The waiter first gave us menus with different prices listed in each one, and when we enquired, he stated one was accurate and the other one was not the most recent. So we went ahead and ordered our dinner. The soup first had chicken missing. Then when we asked , they replaced it with chicken. The salad order was also incorrect . We didn't want to eat the spicy version, but he gave us the spicy version, which we simply decided to keep to avoid conflict. The dinner overall was not tasty or delicious (lacked quality) as it used to be. The quality has severely gone bad. The fish appetizer was drastically cut into half the size it used to be. The last straw was when we received our check; they had different prices than the menu we were asked to keep. This is highly unprofessional, a bait-and-switch way to charge unnecessary amounts in an unethical manner. The check was finally resolved. While all the food kept coming to the table immediately, it felt that they also had very limited service staff. Two waiters serving a very busy July 4th evening dinner.

Our party of 2 got to the restaurant just as they opened at 5pm on a Saturday. A person was vacuuming the floor as we were being seated to our table. I went to the restroom and 2 out of 3 stalls were terribly dirty - will not mention what I saw. After us, another group was seated. We reviewed the menu and placed our order - corn stuffed pani poories for App, Adraki Dhaniya Paneer for veg main, Lazeez Murgh Tikka Masala for non-veg makn, 1 butter naan, and 1 garlic naan. The appetizer was crispy and slightly tangy, tasty, and the best part of the meal. After we finished our appetizer, a different waiter came to ask us if we were ready for our main dishes. Not entirely sure why he asked that, we had already ordered everything at once and generally speaking, would expect the main dishes to arrive right after the apps are finished. At this point, there were still only 2 tables occupied in the entire restaurant. Nevertheless, we waited for our mains as the other table which came after us, received their mains before us. The paneer was bland, I could hardly taste the dhaniya or any other spices. It was super gravy. My husband had the chicken and it was bone-in, also little to no spice. The chicken was labelled as a spicy dish on the menu. The flavour aside from spice level, was tangy. The garlic naan had a great deal of flavour and spices on top, however both naans were lacking thickness. Burnt and crispy in some areas. Since our dishes were saucy, we required the naan to be thicker in substance. If we had non-saucy dishes then the naan would have been fine. Overall, I'm not sure I would go back here again as the entire experience wasn't worth the hype. I've ate numerous times at Sanjeev Kapoor's restaurants in Toronto and the flavours just don't compare to what we had at the Danville location.

Opentable Diner

Food was great , appetizers especially sheesh kabab was exceptional , Service is bad, it took about 1 and half hour for main course to come, and each time the waiter was telling us its coming soon, I literally had to walk to the kitchen and had it checked.

I was very excited to at this restaurant and picked my birthday to eat there. We ordered chicken tikka masala, naan, fish molee and rice. For starters we ordered the mixed platter. The mixed platter was ok. The naan and chicken were really good. The fish molee was very disappointing. We also ordered samosa chaat which was also good. Definitely worth a try but will not go there again! Also there was a fly in the glass of water which was a big turn off..

The food has not always been consistent, we went after quite a while having been regulars previously. Service is very poor.

If you have a sweet tooth like me, do try their shahi tukda.

Yellow Chilli never fails to impress me. The food was excellent, every morsel had so much flavor. Music and ambience was also quite good and the restaurant staff were handling the traffic very well.

Not sure if it was because it was Valentine as this was the first time we have ever been to this restaurant, but the food looked as if it had been plated in advanced as it had a film on the top like it had been left even the garnish on the plate was shrivelled. Our mains took over an hour but we did just put this down to the restaurant being busy and that was ok with us. Ask the waiter four times for sparkling water and we never received it. The waiter poured a glass of wine in my husband's wine glass that had a massive lipstick mark on the glass. We had to ask twice for silverware to eat our main course. Something not quite right with the goat curry as my Husband had a very bad tummy all night. He is used to eating hot spicy food. Would never recommend this place. Would never return.

Excellent service, very good food. The lamb shank dish was so good, meat tender and fall off the bone. All the dishes we ordered were great. Good portion size, we had leftovers to take home to enjoy the next day.

Butter chicken is flavorful and delectable. Biryani is steamy and meat is tender. Servers are polite and helpful. My favorite Indian restaurant in this area.

I liked the place overall. But a few improvements with service as the dinner was served before the dinner plates arrived and we got confused and kept continuing eating in small plates. Shaam Savera gravy was too sweet for our taste maybe because of heavy cream usage. tandoori chicken was marinated well but was dry from inside..overcooked. Hara paneer appetizer could have some twist to the taste..it seems like we ate paneer dipped in green chutney...Mint laccha parantha and daal was a super combo with onions and chutney.

Upscale, great ambiance, good quality, and expensive (and they add 20% gratuity).
We went for vegetarian dinner.
Veg platter Appetizers: Hara Paneer, spring rolls, garam tikki (sort of south Indian dal vade), papaya peanut salad, all tasted ok, didn't feel like repeating.
Main course: shaam savera kofta was innovative, paneer tikka nothing special, all kinds of naans tasted good.
Veg biryani was not spicy as asked for, felt nothing special about it, no paneer in it, but found Cucumber/squash. We were told their Veg pulav is sweet. We were left with no excitement for their desserts.
Would come back for ambiance but not for food taste.
