Je tiens à signaler le manque d'honnêteté de ce restaurant. Sur le menu, le Butter Chicken était clairement affiché à 15 $, mais arrivé à la caisse, le prix est miraculeusement passé à 19,50 $.
Mon amie a remarqué l'erreur immédiatement. Au départ, la caissière n'a absolument pas voulu collaborer, & il a fallu insister fortement & dénoncer la situation pour qu'elle réagisse. Le pire, c'est que je n'ai même pas été remboursée, alors que mon amie & moi avions commandé exactement la même chose.
Afficher un prix sur le menu puis en facturer un autre à la caisse est totalement inacceptable. C'est une honte & cela donne clairement l'impression de se faire voler. Faites très attention au montant qu'on vous facture.
Went with some friends because I'd been craving thali for a while, & unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the hype. The rice didn't taste fresh, & the curries lacked the depth & flavor I was expecting they tasted more like they had been sitting for a while. The service could also have been more attentive. Overall, I was hoping for a fresher & more flavorful experience
butter chicken is perfect! rice, samosas, nan, & papadam here is the best!!!! i love all the thalis too, great staff, they're all welcoming, friendly & warm. well organized also! we appreciate that their bathroom on main floor is always clean! we are looking forward to their move, hope will be new place & modern!
Les repas sont servis dans des assiettes de métal un peu comme une cafétéria. La salle à dîner est très éclairée donc pas tellement charmante. Nous avons commandé le poulet au beurre, les Bhaji, oignons, le pain Naan ainsi qu'un Biryani aux légumes. Tout ça était très épicé donc inutile d'y retourner.
I spent around $47 on food for my toddlers, but unfortunately, I received only about $10 worth of food that was extremely spicy & very poor in quality & did not received as per description in the menu online. The food did not seem freshly prepared & appeared to be old, pre-prepared food of poor quality. I had specifically mentioned in the Uber Eats order notes that the food was for my toddlers, but my request was completely ignored.
Overall, I am very disappointed with the quality, quantity, & service. I would not recommend this restaurant & will not be ordering from here again. Very unsatisfied with my experience. Thank you.
I've been a loyal customer here for years & their butter chicken has always been my favourite, which is exactly why this was so disappointing.
The last order we got was clearly spoiled. The moment we opened the container at home, the smell was unmistakable. I called the restaurant to explain & they offered to replace it, as long as I came to pick it up myself.
When I got there, the owner had me taste the good sauce, which I recognized right away, to confirm it was fine before going back to the kitchen for fresh containers.
Once I was home, I opened them & realized he had given me the same old stock back.
It looked like they had barely bothered to cut the old sauce with a bit of fresh sauce… it still smelled of soured cream.
They just lost a loyal customer. Very disappointed.
