11 Best Indian Restaurants near Forest

“Amazing food and service and clean environment“

“Most places here seem to have reviews calling the restaurants the "best" at whatever they make but this place actually is. You can smell how good the food is the second you walk in.

Spotless, I can't stress enough how clean this place is and how quick the staff are to tidy up. The staff are very nice and welcoming, it made the atmosphere very comfortable even as it filled up. Extremely attentive.

I get iffy about possibly eating watered down Westernized food..this is not that. Food was amazing and flavourful. I cut apart my meat with a spoon to give an idea of how tender it was. We had two different dishes, both different levels of heat and they nailed the spice levels. I got a more spicy dish, but the heat was perfect, not over powering the other ingredients or flavours.

They serve mocktails along with a regular drink menu, which were also great. Refreshing.

I went in with low expectations because I haven't found places in this area have really been meeting my standards or their review hype. Most places these days aren't even worth it but this place is *definitely* is.“

“very good fresh and delish!“

“If you haven’t tried Saber’s Taste of India on Princess in the west end yet …. you are seriously missing out. Hands down some of the best Indian food I’ve had in Kingston, maybe anywhere.

The Masala Lamb? Incredible. Tender, rich, perfectly spiced , it’s impossible to have just one bite. The Butter Chicken is everything you want it to be: creamy, flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. But the real hit, the Chicken Madras , unbelievably delicious with just the right kick of heat and depth of flavor that lingers in the best way.

But what makes the experience even better is Saber himself. He’s not just the owner; he’s the heart behind the food. You can feel how much pride, care, and love he puts into every single dish, and it makes everything taste that much better. There’s nothing better than knowing your meal was made by someone who truly loves what they do.

Support local , you won’t regret it. I can’t wait to go back!

5 Stars !!A Hidden Gem in the West End!

“On way to Montreal, had a stop over for Pakistani lunch at Naan Stop on the recommendation of my son Ahmad Jamal who had been their customer during his studies at Queens University. Lunch was delicious, ample quantity, garma garam taway ki roti with chappal kabab ... shandar. For Indo Pak customers, lota was available in washroom. A must visit place to enjoy hospitality of professional, family like people.“

“We've been coming here weekly since the beginning of the year."Harsh" has been our waitress a few times & again today. We have always had lovely service & great food!! This is the highlight of our week!!“

“We went last night for the greatly advertised buffet only to be told there was no buffet tonight and they do that only when they want! Service was slow and minimal. Had to chase someone down after waiting 20 minutes to get our naan and 1 meal we were missing. Once we got the food it was decent. They need to update their offerings and advertising if the buffet isn't really a daily offering. Also need to work on customer service and coordination with the kitchen. Once they get that tuned up we will be back but not until. It's unfortunate because when I went for a lunch buffet a few months back the food was quite good.“
