Thank you Vijay's for the wonderful anniversary takeout dinner! We were supposed to eat at the restaurant...but I told my husband we were going to do takeout because I didn't feel like going out. Truth is, I sprained my ankle coming off a ladder and didn't want to tell him. We had our first date at Vijay's and 12 years later...still happy. Best food and really kind and attentive servers and owners. P.S. he found out about the ankle when he got home. We are definitely going to schedule another date night. Thank you for the extra goodies and making our anniversary special.❤️

Changing my rating from my experience 5 years ago down to two stars.Veg pakora was overcooked, bit greasy. Portion could have been half the size and double the quality and it would have vastly improved the dish itself. 4/10Got the chicken korma. It was oversalted and they cheaped out on the rice. 5/10Ordered the Garlic naan and it was some fluffy Flatbread and not naan at all? 2/10Staff was very polite and nice, but I didn't come here for staff.

I never post negative reviews but this store had a huge sign in front of it saying it has been open since the last 40 years. I was surprised to see an Indian restaurant in kitchener nobody every talked about. I bought just one chicken biriyani from this place to eat during my lunch break at work. I was hoping the food would taste awesome since the restaurant looked very neat and fancy. The food was baaaad. They had green peas in their biriyani. Green peas in biriyani. Ok. Forget about the unheard of ingredients. Everything felt mushy and either overcooked/reheated frozen food and was giving off a rotten smell ever so slightly. I feel it was the green peas which were starting to become rotten but since that was mixed in with the rest of the food, the whole box had an unappetizing smell coming from it. I thought I was imagining at first and I tried eating it I just took a few spoonfuls before I started feeling something was actually wrong. I couldn’t figure out why and my colleagues felt the same. I had to throw most of it out. I am sorry I don’t have picture for proof because I was having this at my workplace and I don’t get much free time other than to eat food and I was too busy on that day. This happened more than a week ago. I am just posting a review since google reminded me and I still can’t forget that you guys made me eat rotten green peas when I hate eating normal green peas. Please do not serve old food. Thank you

A nice authentic Indian Cuisine experience.We were greeted by a friendly waitress and sat down at a table for 2.The restaurant is quiet and would be a great place for a date.We had some vegetable samosas with homemade tamarind sauce. It was a sweet treat.The sauces are made to order so they are fresh and hot. The Naan bread was a great add-on to the meal.Overall it was a great experience with friendly staff. I will return again.Parking: Parking at the side of the building.

This place has really gone downhill over the last few years and it really wouldn't be that difficult to fix if the owner was willing to put in a little effort. The naan bread needs to be revamped as it's the worse naan in KW, the onion bahji is frozen and microwaved, tastes like chit. The Vindaloo was very good, but could use more meat portions. The rice is terrible. The customer service is great but that doesn't cut it in the real world. Change your menu and produce fresh food, it would make all the difference.
There's a reason Vijay's has been around so long. Simple, inexpensive, tasty food. Ordered take away dinner for 2. TONS of food with a very mild butter chicken and slightly spicy beef (asked for medium). Definitely cooked for Canadian palate. The samosas were very large and a bit greasy, but darn, that didn't stop me from eating and enjoying it.Vegetarian options: Typical Indian food offerings.Parking: Their own lot.

Ordered fish curry because I was craving fish. I knew the fish curry won’t be that tasty (being a Bengali and fish lover), but never expected it would be such a disaster. As you can see in the picture, added too much tomato purée with zero balance of spice to the point that I cannot taste which fish it is. On top of that, the fish is so over cooked that it became a chewy substance that you will only have to swallow if you don’t want to throw up. Never in my life tasted such bad food that I had to throw away completely (I hardly throw away food and usually always end up eating fish even if it is cooked very poorly, but this is beyond poor cooking).Please, I request you, have this fish item remove from your menu. I don’t know about other item, but you can’t cook fish at all.Very very disappointed.

Great take out. Picked up and all was hot and ready on time. Dinner for 4 was plenty for our group, with some left overs. Excellent value.
