The food is excellent! Great portions and very flavourful. The chicken 65, macha tandoori’s chicken, and the butter chicken were great. The salad was a little bland but everything else solid.

The food is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. A really great dining experience. Portions are also excellent. I've always walked out with leftovers. The pakora platter app is my favourite thing to order here - consistent and always prepared perfectly.
August 2025
Their Lamb Spinach Curry, Tiki Masala and Tabdoori Chicken are delicious ! Portions are great for sharing a meal with friends and family. I’ve tried this restaurant 3 years ago when I first went to Toronto, and I had to come back ! The owners are the kindest!

Service and ambiance is great as well, the drinks they serve are as good as the dishes !!!
