We visited Aanch Restaurant for a post-Diwali dinner, and it was a fantastic experience!
I ordered:
- Rose Lassi - Super thick and delicious; just the right balance of sweetness. (11/10) - Paan Licious Drink - Beautifully presented and perfectly strong. (10/10) - Basil Paneer Tikka - The paneer was definitely made in-house, incredibly soft and marinated to perfection before being cooked in the tandoor. (11/10) - Papad Chaat - A unique twist on a classic. (7/10) - Badal Jaam Bruschetta - Very different and flavorful. (7/10) - Kadhai Paneer with Chilli Naan - The highlight of the night! We requested an 8/10 spice level, and they delivered INDIA-LEVEL spice. Truly authentic and delicious! (100/10)
The authentic North Indian flavors were spot on, with spices that transported us back to India, not just the usual chilli flakes. Our non-vegetarian friends were seriously jealous; they admitted the veg food was outstanding—rare to find such quality here in Toronto.
The staff was attentive and welcoming, and they even surprised us with complimentary mango kulfi for Diwali! We also took biryani to-go, can’t wait to try it.
Highly recommend this place for its authentic North Indian flavors, attentive service, and memorable food experience. Will definitely be back!
Delicious and creative. The cocktails were all very novel — lighting things on fire, bubbled elderflower.

I recently went to By Aanch with friends to celebrate a birthday, but sadly, the experience was disappointing, especially because of the poor service. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the staff wasn’t attentive at all. We had to wait a long time for anyone to take our orders, and even after that, it took too long for our food to come out.
Throughout the meal, it was hard to get the staff’s attention for simple things like dish recommendations or additional items. It felt like they weren’t interested in making our experience enjoyable, which made the whole evening feel frustrating and unwelcoming.
The food was average at best, and certainly not enough to make up for the poor service. While the ambiance was nice, the staff’s lack of attention and care made the night disappointing. By Aanch could be a better spot for celebrations if they seriously improve their customer service.

Amazing food with great ambience. Highly recommended for indian cuisine! Great staff and were very helpful with choosing the right dish and the right quantity.
Honestly the food was above expectations, especially when you are sceptical about trying an Indian restaurant outside India. We thoroughly enjoyed the pani puri .. lamb ghee roast..and the paan kulfi was great ? Will surely come back soon !

My friend and I had an amazing time dining at By Aanch last night. Each dish was beautifully and thoughtfully presented, their flavours just right! We loved the heart and detail the owners put into the restaurant, whether it be the customized welcome note for our reservation, or the restaurants beautiful ambiance. The staff was tremendous, taking time to answer our questions, checking in and refilling our water, and ensuring our meals were allergy friendly. Wonderful experience at the restaurant, we hope to come back!
Great Service and food.
