50 Best Indian Restaurants near Thornhill

“I mainly come to Indian Cuisine for the buffet - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — 12pm to 3pm ($21.99 per person)

Food is delicious! I recommend goat curry, tandoori chicken, and eggplant/okra curry. Selections are decent - fish/veggie pakora, rice, Hakka noodles, ice cream, gulab jamun and rice pudding — also coleslaw and veggie mix. Naan comes with buffet and can be refilled — butter, garlic or you can get roti.

Customer service is great! The owner goes above and beyond for customers — there was a time I dined in with my daughter for buffet at 2:45pm — the owner extended buffet time so that my daughter and I can eat, and had refilled the dishes on the buffet table so that we had fresh food.

Overall, buffet price is great, food is delicious and the service is what stands out — the owner treats his customers like family and ensures that the dining experience is great! I have been dining here once a week with my family for the buffet and I highly recommend for everyone to come try the food.“

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

“First time visit this place, and I had a really great experience! I tried the samosa chaat with chai, and both were absolutely amazing. The samosa chaat was flavourful and fresh. The overall experience was wonderful. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items from the menu.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some tasty food“

“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.“

“Special shoutout to Navdeep, whose warmth and energy made the whole meal feel welcoming. You can tell this team genuinely cares about getting it right. She came out personally to check that our aloo tikki chaat and pineapple juice were up to the mark, and both were spot on. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back!“

“Bawarchi Biryanis Toronto - Authentic Indian Restaurant in Scarborough“

“Decided to try TAKEOUT from here. Omg! So delicious! Fresh fresh fresh. and sooo good. Please try this GREAT local gem!!!💎“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Thank you Sibi and team at Ammi’s for your suggestions and good food at our outdoor event.“

“Food we ordered was awesome 😋“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your time with your families and friends.“

“Tasty food and good quality , very friendly and efficient staff“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The garlic naan was soft, buttery, and perfectly baked with just the right amount of crispness. The momos were juicy, packed with delicious filling, and paired perfectly with the spicy dipping sauce. Every dish tasted authentic and was beautifully presented.“

“I usually do not write reviews… Since this was the third event they did for us, Not putting up positive reviews would be totally ignoring their hard efforts. BUT I NEED TO SAY ABOUT ROSS & NIMESH from CHASKA INDIAN STREET FOOD. I contacted them just a few days before for my daughter's Baby Shower event. The minute I called NIMESH, he was so professional and detailed on the phone and connected me to ROSS.. that I signed up with him right away…AND I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION‼‼ They were there well in advance with perfect setup on the tables and the party was seamless.. The food was warm, fresh & delicious …I am still getting calls from friends about how good the food was. DO NOT HESITATE TO USE 'CHASKA' CATERING FOR YOUR NEXT PARTY…You will have a memorable experience.“

“Yesterday after golf, a few of us decided to get together for a backyard thing. Socially distanced of course. Nobody had thought to arrange for food. I called Salimah and family at Khaike Paan. And within 30 minutes they prepared a succulent meal of Mishkaki, ribs, mogo and Kari kababs. The guys all enjoyed a beautiful meal. This establishment is run by a wonderful and warm family who always deliver the goods at the very best quality. #getyoureastafricanfixatkhaikepaan“

“Divine. I’ve wanted to try this place for a long time since I am always at the Shoppers next door.

I order the chat appetizer. It was my first time having that dish and it’s a must try. Crispy and filling. I would def order for sharing next time.

Also had the shahi paneer roti. I tried to get a pic of the inside but as soon as I had my first bite, the rest was inhaled. Creamy, slightly sweet, and a good spice level for mild.

Very welcoming customer service as well. Will be back often.“

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

“Makes sense why this place has so many reviews. Food here is really good, even the fries for the kids which we didnt plan on getting.

Momo filling is well seasoned. You can easily slam back a whole plate.

Word of warning though for parents, depending on your kids, there is a touch of spice in the steamed momos about the same intensity as a crack of black pepper. Our kids haven't opened up to spice yet, which we didnt expect from steamed momos. They're good momos, don't get us wrong.

Would happily come back and try more of their menu“

“Our Go-To West Indian Food Shop. #1🥇💯“

“Located in the food court at East York Town Centre.
The food is excellent; I especially love the pakoras and the chicken (or veg) samosas. For a food court eatery, I am surprised at the wide variety of food available. Lots of great vegetarian options.

“I had the pleasure of officiating Kamaljeet and Rapinder’s beautiful wedding at Indias Taste Markham. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was so delicious that I came back with my wife for date night! We enjoyed another wonderful meal and a warm welcome. Thank you for making both visits so memorable. Highly recommend!

“This was the most phenomenal 5 star Indian restaurant that I have been to in Canada. My family and I were coming from The United States of America and we came to this restaurant with our family members that lived in Canada and as soon as we went in, the interior was so clean and luxurious. Even the bathrooms looked so clean. I was also very impressed by the glowing lights on the serving cart and the table lamps and you can make them light or dim which was very cool. The drinks were refreshing, the Paneer appetizers were delicious, and the main was absolutely mind blowing. It was like you got your food served on a golden dish. The Paneer Butter Masala was nice, the Kaju curry was flavorful, and the hospitality was amazing! I unfortunately have to go back to my home in The United States but I can't wait to come back to this restaurant when I come back to Canada!“

“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!!“
