OMG! If the main guy/owner is not working. Do not go here!Me and my friends spend over $100And the butter chicken was like BUTTER SOUP/chicken soup.I posted a picture and You don’t even have to see an actually video from noticing how watery that butter chicken “soup” is.And the employee was so rude trying to lie to use in why the butter chicken is a chicken soup.I never leave reviews man. But I had too bro. It was sooooo bad man. It kills me because I love the owner. But it was just too disgusting for me to take a chance again.Just loook at the pics. By the way. That was “fresh”.

Chicken wings was stale and tough.. Loaded with food color which had left stains on the rice served on the side.Some weird tasting white sauce was drizzled over everything without even asking our preference. Even on biriyani.. Biriyani was the only saving grace to a little extent though it was oily.. Will never buy anything from there ever again

Love this place, the food is always so tastyUpdate to why I removed my 5 star review and replaced it with a 1 star review: I just went here and the kid working behind the counter tried to click through the price to add his own tip into it thinking or hoping I wouldn't see it. I usually tip pretty good so this is just super insulting. Really put off by this.

Ordered chicken biriyani, chicken wings and tandoori chicken today, for take out. After opening the food at home, saw that they splurged white garlic sauce on all the food items, and they put wings mixed with rice. Why the hell would someone throw garlic sauce all over the food, without even asking the customer's preference first ? I think this restaurant mixes rice and garlic sauce on all the food items, and they don't even have the courtesy to tell you or even ask you.

Been coming here for a few years now! Best chicken! So much flavour and the garlic sauce is unreal! Lamb curry is also very tender!

Worst quality of food we have ever eaten with family. We ordered family platter mixed bbq, lentils soup, salad, smoothies. The family platter is so bad as meat were neither fresh nor cooked well. Rice was not cooked properly and boiled. Smoothies are not fresh, there was no fruit, and put tons of sugar. Lentils soup were spoiled and the cause may be they put outside of the fridge for a long period and it was sour in the taste. We found eat any food. Not recommend this place. We will never go there. Worst experience.

Saying this with no ill will and only respect. But if you just cook to order business will do even better. The meats I had were seasoned well and flavourful but you can tell it didn’t just come off the grill. To be honest some skewers seemed a bit stale.I went to a different Afgan restaurant last week in Mississauga. And you can see them making it to order. Fresh off the grill. Was perfect.Don’t skimp on quality and the profits will pay you back. You have all the right tools just make it fresh off the grill and you will see repeat customers.

The beef in the wrap was very chewy/hard and didn't taste fresh. The lettuce was soggy, and the seasoning was odd. Lentil soup tasted like it had old oil or something in it, and I'm not sure why. It was also very watery and bland. I could not finish my wrap and later in the evening I had stomach problems. My partner said his curry wasn't "too bad", but agreed that we will not be ordering from here again.

I've been coming here for some time and I'll tell you it just gets better. The owner and stuff is so friendly I genuinely feel like ive got a friend there every time i walk in its very refreshing. I moved at the beginning of the year and hadn't been able to order from here but it'd been too long since I had a great meal so I got in my truck and drove up upper james to get some. I was not disappointed :D ?

I ordered chicken shawarma and chicken tikka sandwiches and they were below average. Wouldn’t recommend. Also we ordered 2 piece roasted chicken which came all soggy and not at all flavourful. Not recommended

Best butter chicken I ever had in my life. I recommend 10000%, first time ever trying it and the flavours were so unique. Spices were perfect and chicken melted apart perfectly.

Whent there to have some sheesh kabab. But....The guy would not let us dine in although it was supposed to be open till 11 PM and we were there at 8PM. He said they are closing!So we ordered take out. What a shock! REHEATED NAAN at $2/pc! The naans were reheated, oiled and burnt!Ordered a dish that was supposed to come with naans for free as in the menu. But...no! They only give white rice!WHAT A BAD EXPERIENCE. NEVER AM I GOING THERE AGAIN.

Ordered large takeout order, over $250. They added automatic tip. Why? On take out? Automatic? Doesn’t say anything on their site. Didn’t a say a word in store. Checked receipt when I got home and realized they grabbed an extra $25. Dishonest, unethical. First and last time I ordered from them, don’t even care how good the food tastes. Cater your Indian food elsewhere.Edit: The food was ok, not great.
