“we celebrated a birthday at Aanch and it was an incredible experience! The ambience was warm and friendly. The food was excellent and the highlight was definitely the jackfruit dish, which was absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch, with staff ensuring that everything was perfect. The chef even personally came to our table and when they heard we were celebrating a bday, brought a complimentary dessert to share! Highly recommend this place for special occasions or anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience!“

“We went their for our anniversary dinner. Highly recommend their Omakase menu. Very authentic flavors. If you're looking for an elevated Indian food, this is the place to go! Our favorite dishes from their vegetarian Omakase menu were the Jackfruit tacos, Berry chaat and the white truffle mushroom chai.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine made with care and bold flavors, Leela is a must-visit. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with pink decor. I can confidently say it's one of the best Indian food experiences I’ve had in a long time.“

“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!“

“The best Food🍜 The bEst Drinks 🍷 The best Vibes Ever 🍾 Must Visit BAWARA, TORONTO ( The Indian Restaurant) 🚀“

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

“Butter chicken and chicken byriani really Delicious, strongly recommend 5 stars“

“I was there earlier with a friend, and we had a wonderful time! We were served by Noman and Rithima (apologies if I misspelled your names!) and both were very welcoming. The food was delicious, good size portion, and overall a lovely visit. Thanks so much!“

“Our first time there on a Saturday night for dinner. The restaurant was empty & the music was blaring like a nightclub. We had to ask the server to lower the volume 3 times & it was still so loud that we could barely hear each other speak. We sat close to the back where the speakers are located.
The Server was enthusiastic & offered many suggestions.
The food we ordered was all good. We had the Peri Peri Chicken, Bharve Golgappe & Chicken Biryani.

Dietary restrictions: They were able to safely serve a nut & shellfish allergy.“

“My friends and I were in Toronto for a fundraising event, and decided to get dinner at Gully. All four of us agreed that the food was delicious! I had the butter chicken and I got a mocktini. Both were great and the butter chicken was immensely flavorful.
We were very happy with the service as well. We wanted to try the Indian Street Corn appetizer, and were initially told that it was a seasonal item and it was unfortunately no longer available. However, the owner came over after and told us he had just gone to a market and found fresh corn! We knew after that appetizer that the rest of the meal was going to be great. There’s a reason it’s one of their most popular dishes.
I would recommend making a reservation. We reserved a time for Saturday night and overheard them telling other customers that they were booked for the night. This restaurant is well worth a visit!“

“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“

“Me and my co-workers went out for lunch today and we decided we would try this restaurant. The owner welcome us and seated us, he was so nice and always came to check on us while we waited on our food. The restaurant was so clean. We were a group of 7 and to my surprise I couldn’t believe how fast our food came out for such a large group. The food was amazing so fresh nothing was frozen. We could not stop talking about how great the food was we all tried each other food and omg it was so good, no joke. We can’t wait to go back and would highly recommend to anyone trying this cuisine of food for the first time. This place will leave a long last effect on you.“

“This place makes my favorite roti. We order pickup a lot & always enjoy our meals from here. The staff are friendly and, again, awesome food! Pretty good prices as well, fairly standard, especially for the pretty big portion sizes. Most roti are basically 2 meals in one because they're so big. This place is a great & consistent dinner option!

Vegetarian options: Loads & loads.

Dietary restrictions: Loads of dishes with no dairy that're absolutely phenomenal. Plus lots kf veggies options if that's your cup of tea.“

“My first time having Nepalese food, and wow was that an error on my part. The food here is sooo tasty. It's spicy, well seasoned, and has big portions. It's a more upscale restaurant and the price will match that but it's worth it. So if you're in the area and don't know where to eat, come here and grab a mocktail and their amazing dishes.“

“MUST TRY AUTHENTIC SOUTH INDIAN FOOD

Absolutely loved the authentic South Indian breakfast combo! The crispy dosa, fluffy idlis, and delicious pongal each delivered traditional flavors. The sambar was authentic and tangy, pairing beautifully with both the dosa and idli, while the red and white chutneys brought a fresh and spicy kick to every bite. Finishing with the sweet kesari, I was genuinely impressed with the taste. A wonderfully balanced meal, delicious, comforting, and highly recommended!

DEFINITELY COMING BACK HERE AGAIN“

“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!!!“

“Good food good service I love it and will be back“

“food is very good and quantity ànd quality is worth the price“

“Biryani is a vibrant and aromatic dish, with fragrant basmati rice, tender marinated meat (or veggies), and a perfect blend of spices like cardamom, cumin, and cinnamon. The rice is light and fluffy, absorbing the rich flavors of ghee, while the meat is succulent and tender, often slow-cooked for maximum flavor. The dish is a balance of savory, spicy, and slightly sweet notes, enhanced by the crunch of caramelized onions and the occasional freshness from raita. Each bite offers a satisfying combination of textures, from the tender meat to the crunchy bits of rice at the bottom. Overall, biryani is an unforgettable, flavor-packed experience—comforting yet sophisticated, and a must-try for anyone who loves bold, aromatic dishes.“

I highly recommend trying their masala dosa and filter coffee – a perfect combination! Will definitely be coming back.“
