We accidentally discovered this place when we were hungry and specifically wanted Indian food. The owner is so polite and kind. They make sure youโ€™re comfortable and enjoying your meal. We got dal makhni, chilly paneer, and naan. It was just outstanding. Everything was made fresh so it took a little time but the wait was so worth. I will be going back to try their buffet soon.

The owner gave us 10% discount also and some complementary candies. Such a great...

Can't find more authentic Indian food in Thornhill (and I've been to Kolkata). The goat biryani was delicious along with the eggplant bharta, and the garlic naan is SO fresh. The owner is also such a kind gem. Highly recommend this spot! The lunch buffet is also a great value ๐Ÿ˜Š
