50 Best Indian Restaurants near Thornhill

“This place is a hidden gem in North York. Amazing food and they even have affordable buffet from Friday to Sunday. Buffet items are mildly spicy but if you order a la carte then you can ask them to make it spicy.

Their masala chai is a must try!!“

“Friendly staff , efficient management affordable prices with all range of product“

“I went for limited thali which included 2 vegetables, dal/kadi, rice, 4 roti and dessert (no snacks). The liked the spice level: medium-low. The taste of the food is decent. Good pricing, except I found the snacks (farsan) a little expensive.“

“I got the freezeland and paneer sandwich (and a Oreo milkshake and ginger chai), everything was above expectation. The size of the sandwich was huge, I was full eating only half and I got a ready meal for lunch tomorrow. I’m surprised more folks haven’t mentioned this, but the quantity is amazing! Finding food items that are Jain friendly, tasty, and that excel in both quality and quantity is extremely rare.
I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the Jain items and get myself another Oreo milkshake!“

“Delicious food, friendly staff and cozy environment. Definitely recommend their food especially butter chicken and malai chicken tikka. Love this place.❤️“

“I love this place. They have amazing vegan options but also options for meat eaters as well. Good wine selection and cocktails. Best vegan caesar salad in the city and the Hakka tofu is lovely as well.“

“The food is amazing.. staffs are so nice and friendly.“

“This is my go-to place for biryani. The best I've had! Light, fluffy and delicately spiced. The food is so good and the staff are so friendly it's like my 2nd home! The gongura biryani (veg or chicken) is probably my favourite, also really like the mughlai chicken biryani.“

“We have passed the sign for Dhillon's Karahi many times without eating there. That is our loss. We decided on a whim to check it out this evening and were delighted with our meal. The samosas were delicious: having the sauces on top, rather than on the side, gave them a special flavour. The mixed vegetables and Lamb Korma were perfectly done. And the Naan and rice were the perfect compliments. We enjoyed and will be back. Thank you.“

“Delicious food“

“This white sauce pasta was absolutely delicious! The sauce was perfectly creamy, rich, and flavorful with just the right balance of herbs and spices. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the bits of onion and bell pepper added a nice crunch and freshness. The garlic bread was crisp, buttery, and paired so well with the pasta — great for dipping into that smooth sauce. A comforting, satisfying meal that I’d definitely love to have again!“

“Absolutely delicious authentic indian food! You can tell this restaurant gets the best ingredients and puts in the effort in their spices. We went around 6 people, great and convenient location, just 5 min walk from Bloor and Yonge Station. We ordered Samosa Chat, Cheese Nan and Chicken Tikka Masala from the appetizer and had Lababdar and Special Butter Chicken in the main course. I must say, the food was so delicious, I am in love with Chicken Tikka Masala. The service was also nice, Will definitely go again.“

“Had a great time at Brar’s! The food was tasty, but what really made the experience special was Harpreet. She was super patient, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Really appreciated her warm attitude—it made the meal even better. Thanks, Harpreet!“

“I always go to this place with my kids they love their cheese dosa. The staff is very friendly as well. we always have great time“

“Delicious food here. But the service is GOD Awful!!! The waiting time is anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes from the time you order. Be sure to check your food before leaving countless times you get something else or missing items. The food here is good not gonna lie there. But the service staff are either slow or let you wait there very long. If they said it's gonna take 10 minutes that's a LIE your waiting close to 40 mins. Would order again here but knowing the times is best. This is my experience from the last 10x I've been here. Lots of uber drivers there waiting and swearing it's fun to watch.“

“Had a great experience at Dosa Kitchen in Markham! It's our 7th visit. The dosas were crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. We also tried a few other South Indian dishes, and everything tasted authentic and delicious. The staff were friendly, attentive, and the service was quick. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely one of the best places in Markham for South Indian food. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be coming back again !“

“Had the Chicken Tikka Sandwich at the pop-up in The Food District, Square One. It was so good. Perfectly spiced chicken with melty cheese! Can't wait to have another“

“An amazing Indian restaurant and take out , looks amazing and amazing food ! Highly recommended 👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Really amazing food. We got butter chicken with garlic naan along with a chicken curry combo. Everything was fresh and really authentic north Indian flavors. The butter chicken was not sweet like every other place around. The food felt like home“

“We had veg thali and desi noodles ... they were delicious!“

“great food at all times. Must try“

“Went there with young school-aged kids and their grandparents. Staff were flexible with kids so long as well-behaved and were good at picking out dishes kids would enjoy. Food was amazing for kids and adults alike!“

“Myself and 3 friends just tried Kadak for their Summerlicious Menus and we were extremely pleased with our choice! Their 3 course menu had lovely options and the server (owner?) asked if we would like to share so we could try more dishes and it was a great idea. All dishes were put in the middle of the table. We loved everything! It's the best Indian food I've had and the others in our party agreed. It's definitely worth a try and we will be back!“

“I had the pleasure of eating at Goa a few days ago. The lady who seated us and helped with menu selection (Mary) was very welcoming and helpful. The menu is very interesting and diverse. I had the branzino and basmati rice. The portions were plentiful, flavourful and excellent. I will certainly return to try another dish in the future.“

“We had the opportunity to visit this delightful spot and were truly impressed! Twisted Indian offers a unique and flavorful take on Indian fusion cuisine. We tried the butter chicken takos, naanwich, samosas, and mango ice cream—and every bite was amazing. The flavors were bold and satisfying, and the portions were so generous we didn’t even need supper afterward! This place is a hidden gem, and we’ll definitely be going back again soon.“

“If you are looking for incredible tasting food, quality ingredients, environmental sustainability, a trendy and tranquil café vibe, detailed dietary accommodations, and complete transparency, this is your spot. You can tell that Chef Ishan and his team truly care about the food and experience they are offering to their guests and go out of their way to offer suggestions, provide any information you need and offer delicious bonuses throughout your meal. There is a fantastic range of options on their menu making it an excellent spot to stop for a specialty drink and appetizer, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or cocktail hour. With every bite you can taste the quality of what you are eating. I ate there with my 3 and 6 year old recently and they loved it just as much as I did. I highly recommend everyone visits this unique spot and appreciates their ethos for themselves! If I lived in Toronto I would definitely be a regular customer.“

“Wow! I went there tonight for dinner for the 1st time and it won't be my last. Absolutely looooove the foods, the friendly & yet very professional service. If you love Indian dishes, then this resto is a must!!!“

“This is such a lucky find. I was craving samosa for the last two days and I was going to make them myself only to discover I don’t have all the spices needed. Being a rainy day February 20 2026 and not feeling the greatest I didn’t want to drive around in rush hour traffic. I came upon this place and I’m really grateful. They really do serve hot fresh home cooked food. I got three samosa and Chana masala and plain naan. Everything was made fresh by the three family members. Everything was flavourful without being too overpowering (I was worried about the Chana masala being too heavy on the onion and garlic but it’s wasn’t). The sweet sauce with the samosa was so good. I was sweating eating everything lol (I don’t think it’s every spicy it’s likely because I have been eating a lot of bland food lately) but I think that’s a good sign and just what my body needed to help me feel better. Overall my total was either $14 or $16 and it was really filling. While I was waiting there was another man there getting a large order and then another man came in and asked me if the food was good there. So we both came across this place randomly today and were trying it for the first time. If you see this I hope you also enjoyed your meal!

The man who originally answered the phone and the woman working the front were all so accomodating , patient and kind. Thank you :) I’ll probably be back tomorrow :)“

“We had the best food ever .. keep up the good work guys… will visit again“

“Amazing delicious food . Must try their veggie nuggets.“

“These momos were introduced to me via the East Lynn Farmers market with their booth there during summer. My kids are obsessed. And actually so am I. Now i am trying the rest of their menu from the restaurant on Danforth. So much flavour and depths. Also, the family is so nice and so sweet that I love to support them as a family and as a local business.“

“Excellent food and service! Will definitely return! Raj was amazing! Very friendly and informative!“

“Last night, I had dinner with my friends at a fantastic restaurant. The seating area was great, and the service was excellent. I tried plenty of curry dishes, but the lamb vindaloo and butter chicken were especially outstanding. The authentic taste truly lingered on my tongue. The samosas and pakoras were also delicious. Another favorite dish of mine was the tandoori chicken, which was absolutely amazing.“

“I tried the chicken biryani, veg mix pakoda, and tea from Shahi Rasoi, and I was genuinely impressed. After trying food from more than 70 places across the GTA, I can confidently say this place is a hidden gem.

The prices feel like they’re from 20 years ago, but there is absolutely no compromise on taste or quality. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and felt truly homemade.

What made the experience even more special was the lady running the place. She reminded me of my mom—so warm, caring, and welcoming. The hospitality was amazing and gave me that genuine “maa ke haath ka khana” feeling that is hard to find these days.

If you’re looking for delicious home-style food at very reasonable prices, I highly recommend giving Shahi Rasoi a try. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended.“

“Highly recommended! It was so good we forgot to take pictures and just started eating. The chowmein tastes exactly like authentic chowmein from Nepal—never found this taste anywhere else. I don't normally leave reviews, but this was fabulous. Hats off, keep it up!“

“My son had a minor hand surgery recently, and to cheer him up and spend some quality time together, I decided to take him to this restaurant. It did not disappoint!

From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. I’m a stickler for great service, and this restaurant truly knows how to make the entire dining experience special.

Since I was there with my 8-year-old son, our server kindly offered to make him a mocktail that still came with the dramatic dry ice fog effect. That was such a highlight for him, and the drink itself was absolutely delicious.

We ordered the cheese balls, pani puri, butter chicken, aloo gobi, and garlic naan. Every single dish was outstanding—so much so that my son gave the meal an 11/10!

For dessert, we had the gulab jamun, which was presented tableside. It was another fun experience that made the evening even more memorable for my son.

This restaurant checked every box: incredible service, amazing food, a fantastic atmosphere, and an overall dining experience that exceeded our expectations.

A very special thank you to our waiter, Parvinder (I hope I spelled that correctly), who was so kind, thoughtful, and courteous throughout the evening. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving my son and me such a wonderful night at a time when he really needed something to smile about.

We will 💯 recommend this restaurant to our family and friends, and we’ll definitely be back again soon. Wishing this wonderful establishment continued success!“

“We recently visited India’s Taste for their buffet and had a wonderful experience. The buffet offered a great variety of dishes with authentic Indian flavors, and everything we tried was fresh and delicious. There were plenty of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

A special mention to Puja, who served us during our visit. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, which made our dining experience even better.

Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. We would definitely recommend India’s Taste to anyone looking for a good Indian buffet and look forward to visiting again.“

“Feb 18 2024 This was my first experience having South Indian cuisine. We relied on the expert recommendations from our server Akeel. The Dosas, Pav Bhaji, Spiced Lassi and Mango lassi were delish!! Akeel and the rest of the staff were very professional, friendly and courteous. Reasonably priced and tasty fare. We will definitely be back for more!!“

“All the food at the Samosarie is delicious! A perfect option to pick something up for dinner and just add rice! I especially love Mum’s chicken curry and Caribbean lentil soup. Also many vegan dishes! ❤️❤️“

“Friendly staff and amazing food! Easily the best Indian cuisine on Avenue Road. You won't be disappointed“
