Kesar's - an Indian thali

It's nice that they're fully vegetarian, but unfortunately the menu doesn't label what is or isn't vegan. Another review highly recommended the dal tadka, and it looked vegan on the menu, but our server told us it probably contained dairy. The aloo gobi was super good, but the bhindi masala was mediocre.

The portion of naan is not enough according to the charge. Please make naan portion bigger and thicker per the price you charge.

Dropped in after business mtg nearby after googling for Indian restaurant. Thali is their main attraction after seeing photos. Lots of choices for thali/ vegetarian variety of two or more curries bread rice sweet quickly served.

Vegetarian options: Various Thali with combinations of curries as well as individual items breads appetizers etc see menu photos attached

Parking: It’s located in a shopping mall so enough space available across from the store.

We went from Canada to experience the Maharaja Thali. My honest opinion- $100 is not worth what's in the thali. The curry quantity is less, one bhatura, one page. 1 naan.Really 4 people eating out of it it's not sufficient because the cost they charge is buffet price for 4 people. 4 white yogurt drink- great but one raita and one sweet/ salty raita. Actual curry is few. Suggestions: for repeat customers Add more curry, Add Naan and Pav for min 4 people. 2 desserts were there and few piece of salad - Salad was insufficient. At this price can't afford to go again!!!

If there was an option of zero rating than would have got that option. The appetizer included pani in puri has no resemblance to what it has to be. For lunch ordered kadai with no bell pepper and we were served with bell-pepper kadai and on trying to explain them they didn't accept the mistake.

I recently ordered the Paneer Gravy Subji and Chaat Thali, and unfortunately, it was a terrible experience. The paneer gravy was bland, with no depth of flavor, and the paneer itself was rubbery, not fresh or soft at all. The Chaat Thali was equally disappointing—everything from the papdi to the chutneys tasted stale and lacked the usual vibrant, tangy flavors that make chaat enjoyable. Overall, the food was not only subpar but downright awful. It was a very disappointing meal, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

We hadn't heard great review about this place but gave it a chance. The food was good no matter the reviews. The service was not good. They forgot our order and we waited long before we had to remind them. We got the chat Thali & Gujarati Thali.

🛑 🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑I had a very disappointing experience here. The staff was extremely rude, making us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued customers. The food was equally underwhelming – bland and poorly prepared, with a taste that left much to be desired. even the roti was undercooked. On top of that, there was no sense of customer service or care for the guests. Overall, it was a frustrating visit, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food or a pleasant dining experience.

I was served stale food. The kheer in my thali tasted sour, and the owner/staff didn’t even apologize for serving it. Will never go back

We stumbled upon "Kesar’s" during a visit to the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple, which is about 4 miles away. If you’re in the mood for a hearty Indian meal, this place is perfect! They have a great variety of Indian Thali options, so if you’re craving a traditional and filling meal, this is the spot to be. Plus, they offer multiple chaat and street food options if you want to snack on something quick and flavorful.
The parathas were also really good—fresh, soft, and perfectly spiced. Kesar’s is definitely a go-to if you're looking for vegetarian options with authentic Indian taste. Their in-house sweet section is the icing on the cake, with plenty of delightful treats to choose from.
The food is sumptuous, packed with flavor, and the service is quick—a win-win! If you’re visiting the temple or just in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Kesar’s for a satisfying and tasty meal.
