We ordered 3 chicken dishes and 2 daals for pickup. On returning, found one daal was missing. There goes service/attentiveness
The food itself was not good. It didn’t taste good, none of the dishes; we had order chicken tikka masala, chicken korma, daal makhni and naans.
Disappointed!

Food arrived fast. Portion sizes are pretty sad, but I also eat alot. Glad I came for lunch and not dinner, or id be going to McDonald's after. I ordered butter chicken, butter naan, and gulab jamun for dessert. With a 15% tip, it was 40$. The butter chicken seemed very westernized and sweet, but still very good. The naan was meh. Better than what you warm up at home, but definately sub par. Gulab jamun always good and is hard to mess up, just pull it out the jar. $7.50 for 3 pieces is pretty wild considering you can buy a kg at the store for less but... dont order it if you think its too much.
Waiter was friendly.
Bathrooms were questionable. Defiantley haven't been deep cleaned in a long time, just the standardized routine maintenance.
Overall for the price point, I have had much better. I would still come back occasionally to try some other dishes or maybe the buffet if it ever comes back. I would also ask for an authentic option without the added sugar if one does exist the next time i order their butter chicken. I could also be naive to this flavour profile. Perhaps from a region where it is in fact authentic?

We had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. We finally stopped in for dinner today. Since it was our first visit, we chose the appetizer platter, so we could sample a variety. The menu described the platter as one of each of the nine appetizers on their menu. When it arrived, there were 7 items (not9) and two were stone cold. Unfortunately there was only one person running the restaurant today... cooking, cleaning, serving (& coughing) so we couldn't get his attention to point out the shortcomings. Perhaps it was just an off day, but the lack of service, substandard quality of food preparation, and the pesky flies we had to keep shooing away from our food, left us disappointed and unwilling to order an entree, much less return another day. Upon leaving, we looked for a restaurant scorecard to reassure ourselves that we didn't need to be concerned about the food safety, but didn't see one posted anywhere. Sadly, this has soured us on not just this restaurant, but their other Bancroft restaurant as well.

One of the best, if not the best, Indian places I’ve ever had in Ontario. Anytime I drive through Bancroft we have to stop and grab takeout. Butter chicken, vegetable korma, garlic naan and samosas are unbelievable. Wish I lived closer.

We loved our meal! The flavors were bold and authentic, with every dish packed with care and savoriness. The service was excellent, and the chefs clearly put passion into their food. A must-try! We will definitely be back.
great variety of food, great service, 10 of us had the dinner for 4 but it could have been for 6!
Delicious food

This restaurant has good food but really lousy service I was just there and the server literally forgot my sisters plate and I had to remind him it will be the last time I ever go there this man should actually be fired it's a negligence

If you're used to having Indian food then you won't like it here because the taste isn't that great. The garlic naan seemed to be purchased from outside and then masala applied on top of it. The naan wasn't made at the restaurant. The chicken curry seemed to be just tomato puree and nothing else. Its not something that would make you ill, but the food they serve here isn't really tasty enough. So, if you're craving for authentic Indian food then don't go here. It probably has few 5 star ratings because Bancroft does not have a lot of Indian restaurants as such.

Chennai Chicken curry was average, Naan was flat( tasted like store brought frozen Naan).Chat was good.The staff did not let us use the dustbin earlier stating that it is not open for public use.They advertise saying that they serve baby food but nothing was available when we got there. I liked their veg options. The staff was not friendly.We noticed that his behavior was biased against people of colour. The person taking our order seemed very disinterested in serving us.
