Many guests appreciate the generous portions, fresh ingredients, and the welcoming nature of the staff, who often go out of their way to provide attentive service. While some visitors suggest improvements regarding interior ambiance, pricing, and the timing of meal service, the overall consensus highlights the high quality of the food. Despite occasional inconsistencies and rare issues with specific dish seasoning, the restaurant is frequently recommended as a great destination for both casual dining and special events.
I recently ordered the chicken noodle dish &, to be honest, I was very disappointed. The noodles were extremely salty, to the point where they were difficult to enjoy. I mentioned this to the waitress, who was extremely helpful & kind. She even tasted the dish herself & agreed it was overly salty. She kindly returned the noodles to the kitchen, & a fresh serving was brought out. Unfortunately, the replacement was just as salty as the first.
Aside from the noodles, everything else about the meal was good. The service was excellent, & the staff went out of their way to try to make things right. However, the seasoning of the noodles really overshadowed the rest of the experience.
Dined at Mehfil today with my hubby & everything was superbe! I was craving pani puri & some chicken biryani, & the expectation was fairly exceeded. Would most definitely go back again & totally recommend it! :)
I was really looking forward to the chicken biryani, but unfortunately, the chicken pieces were undercooked & slightly pink inside - a serious issue from both a taste & safety perspective. The rice was fragrant & well-seasoned, but the undercooked meat ruined the experience. I hope the kitchen tightens up their food safety protocols.

Butter chicken, chilli Gobi, & dal makhni with garlic naan & tandoori naan
Food was genuinely good..we had lacchha paratha, tandoori roti, chicken tikka masala, chicken chilli, rice, dal tarka. Everything was good & tasted yummy. Service was fast too & the atmosphere is also good
Bought a non vege thali. The chicken curry was not good, no taste, watery. tiny pieces of butter chicken but that tasted good, rice was just rice. The portion is extremely small. Otherwise the place looks clean n service was ok.
Very good food. Had the mix grill & the butter chicken. Makes me want to come back! Great overall experience. Thank you to Anju & Jaspreet for the great service!
I come to visit from us went to have dinner with my family friends service was great & food batter chicken & kadai paneer & garlic naan definitely come back with my whole family thanks
Very good place for indian dishes in Laval! This spot deserves to be known. It's well decorated, super clean & friendliest staff! I had one of the best butter chicken ever! It's not overly spicy, so you can easily taste all the spices. I recommend the following (especially for people who isn't familiar with indian dishes, I promise you, you'll be amazed) : Samosas, onion bhaji, fish pakora, butter chicken, plain naan. Bonus : You can reserve a private room for parties such as : birthdays, corporate parties, weddings & more! There is a bar included.
