We almost cancelled because of the snow but thankfully we didn’t because it was one of the best meals we have had in a very long time. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food is all house-made, authentic and absolutely delicious. Our server, Amanda was literally the best. She was friendly, engaging, funny, knowledgeable and so accommodating. It is so refreshing to go out for a meal and enjoy every minute of the entire experience. Everyone should try this gem- you won’t be disappointed.“

Definitely going to be going back!“

“What a lovely place to celebrate (early) Valentine’s Day! The menu was fun and everything was served fresh with great care and thought. The owner continuously checked up on us which made us feel super welcomed! The Nashville Hot Chicken was a bit too crispy for my liking, but that was quickly set right by a complementary basque cheesecake with burnt caramel (which may be the best we’ve ever had). The atmosphere is so thoughtfully decorated and beautiful and everything is spotless. The service was also great, of course. The cocktails were another highlight; we thoroughly enjoyed the passion fruit martini and winter colada. I would give 6 stars if I could!“

“Very good fresh made food, very hospitable. Try the curry chicken with naan“

“Definitely going back old school here. Felt a little like pulp fiction with Zedd as my server. Anyway, good food and priced ok would have expected it to be cheaper. Type of place and crowd who mind their own business and know one another. Not the cheapest place but I like my hot hamburger and the all day breakfast/lunch menus are a nice option“

“🪴All of the plants with great indoor and outdoor seating and open air in ”fairweather”! 💚 Jen behind the bar was super friendly and welcoming. 🍺 Garden Grave is the most delicious beer that I've had in a long time! ✅ Vibe check… passed! 🍻🍭 Two Hops Up… you should drink here!“

“Just WOW! Great food, terrific waitstaff and beautiful patio.“

“Had a 2 piece cod and chips meal with coleslaw.$18.95. Best fish and chips I have had in a while. Cod was crispy and not overly battered. Good size pieces as well. Too much for me but as the cod was thick it reheated in airfryer the next day beautifully. Now my favorite go to for fish and chips in Hamilton. I want to amend this to say there are new owners as of 2025 and they have changed the menus. This review was from previous owner.“

“We had supper at this location last evening with my husband’s two daughters and one our granddaughters, her boyfriend and our son-in-law. Andrew was our excellent server who was pleasant and friendly despite having worked all day. He was very attentive and saw to all our requests in a timely manner. He organized individual bills accurately and everything came as ordered. He is an excellent member of your staff, and we hope to be served by him at our next visit!!“

“I was at Ancaster Mill for a wedding last night and not only was it a beautiful venue but all of the staff was SO kind and helpful with my dietary restrictions - and the food was amazing! With my dietary restrictions I'm used to getting something very plain and tasteless when I'm out at events, but the food at Ancaster Mill was kind to my sensitive stomach and absolutely delicious!“

Pizza & thin crust 5👍
Sam knows our name, & would know our order if i didn't change it regularly!
When I was gardening pregnant, his driver stopped to help me get a stubborn weed out. You don't get that from Pizza Pizza!' Mom & Pop shops every time. # buy local“

“very beautiful and fresh food never disappointed love this place“

“We were in the mood for some Indian food and decided to try this place as we had never heard of it before. We tried the lentil soup, butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala, along with the chicken samosas and garlic chili naan. The food was absolutely stellar! Probably the best lentil soup and tikka masala I’ve ever had. Service was very kind and friendly. Only thing I would say needs improvement is the atmosphere in their modest dine-in space. They only just opened a dine-in area recently (they were predominantly a takeaway) so I’d cut them a bit of slack. There’s a tv on the wall but it was off. No music. It was so quiet we could hear other people chewing across the room. Play some music, and offer ice for the lukewarm water, and this place would be 5 stars. Give them a try!“

“A lovely little spot, my sister in law is obsessed with the pancakes, the coffee is great, the breakfast is delicious. There is just never anywhere to sit- ever. So don't go hungry, write your name down, and stroll downtown until they call you for a free table.“

“Had a fantastic dinner at Amaua Burlington tonight. This was the best Indian food I have ever had and I have travelled all over India. The fish curry, tamarind eggplant coconut rice, cauliflower appetizer, garlic Naan all of this you must try. Delicious.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options

Dietary restrictions: The staff was so sensitive to gluten free and dairy free diets and made sure we had a variety of options. Everything made fresh to order

Parking: Free street parking after 6pm

Kid-friendliness: Kids will love this cauliflower

“Anna, our server was absolutely amazing! She was so patient, accommodating and a delight to speak to! She shared such exciting recommendations and was really quick with her service. We need more people like her in the service industry!

Thank you Anna.“

“Best Indian food in Burlington. Huge portions reasonable prices very friendly staff“

“Stopped by yesterday for lunch! Shared the fish tacos and duck wings- fantastic! Great beer selection and great staff! Thanks for the delicious grub!“

“absolutely the best noodles in the world. Get the King, you won't regret it! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Barb and Chrissie are wonderful! They are the reason we keep coming back! They are the heart of the Olive Press!“

“Everything about this place is amazing. The people who work here, the cooks, the atmosphere (when indoor dining is allowed), and of course the food. The waitress who works here, I don’t know her name, but she is absolutely amazing. She is just THE sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She restores my faith in humanity everytime I come here. The food is always incredible, always tasty, fresh and full of flavour. There’s a handful of vegan options, the onion bhajis are my absolute favourite and I have the utmost faith and trust in Prince Of India when it comes to the knowledge of food restrictions, they ask how spicy you want your dish (mild, medium or spicy) and they really do give great sized portions. You even get a discount on your meal when you dine in, which is such a nice bonus. I recommend Prince Of India to everyone I talk to, quite literally. If you’re looking for authentic food, and even further, authentic people, this is the place.“
