My daughter & I went for the lunch buffet today when it just opened at 11:30 so we can eat the fresh food. I had lamb curry, butter chicken, naan, tandoori chickens d the onion bahji. Everything was very delicious but my daughter & I found the butter chicken was a little too sweet. I would definitely go for the lamb curry, tandoori chicken & the onion Bahji for the buffet. The service was very good & polite. The decor was also very ambient & pleasing place to eat. The price I thought was also reasonable. We would go back for their buffet hoping next time the butter chicken isn't as sweet.
I haven't ordered from here in awhile,it's been my go to since living in the area for the past 5 yrs. So I was very surprised today & so disappointed with my order.
2 Butter chicken, 2 rice,2 roti,onion baji & 2 papadom. The price hike is excessive now costing around 100.00.
The butter chicken was like eating chicken in tomato soup. Smell & taste & watery. The onion baji was flavorless & just not right.
I don't know if the place is under new management or the chefs was having a day or what but I am sadly disappointed & probably won't be a returning customer.sigh

Great indian restaurant, the server was super nice & attentive. The ambiance was very nice too. & we enjoyed the food, especially the butter chicken & gulab jamuns.
The food is to die for LITERALLY!!!
If this place ever closes I would be so sad.
I would recommend the butter chicken, the naan & the Aloo gobi.
The service is pretty fast & they offer free popadoms.
We came last minute to the all you can eat lunch buffet & they were so kind & friendly & served us fresh curry & naan bread when there was none left at the buffet. Amazing service & the butter chicken was do die for!!! Highly recommended this restaurant.
Ordered online for pick up. The ordering process was super easy, the order was ready on time. However, the food was disappointing. I had heard many great things about this restaurant over the years so we decided to give it a try since we love Indian food. The butter chicken sauce tasted more like tomato soup than rich & creamy. & for $21.95, I was expecting more than 10-12 overcooked bite size pieces of chicken. The lamb Chettinad was tasty, even though the lamb was a bit tough. The tandoori plate for 1 was just ok. The 4 items (chicken, fish, 1 shrimp, ground meat sausage) were dry & overcooked. All the main meals do come with either naan or basmati rice, so that's a plus. Skip the stuffed Kulcha for $7.95, it was a small naan brushed with garlic butter. Far from the description of chilli paneer naan. Overall, not a complete horrible experience but won't be ordering again.
Butter chicken & Shahi paneer tasted the same looks like they have same gravy for all. Someone took the order & vanished, i had to go & find the person to tell him i will be late for pick up. When i return back the resturant was closed, but i managed to get some portion of my order as the chef had left. I think the restaurant needs process improvements to deliver customer satisfaction.
We had lunch buffet here & it was a nice, quick, tasty meal. You have staples like butter chicken, tandoori chicken, chickpeas, beef curry. The quality isn't as good as the order menu, but I wouldn't expect it to be. The naan bread here is so much better than the Dorval location à la carte version. Not charred to bitterness with good taste & a hint of spice.
Tried takeout for the 1st time. Excellent service. Ready in 20 minutes as promised. Food was delicious as always. Good-sized portions with portions for the main course large enough to satisfy even a healthy appetite. Prices remain reasonable. The Vegetable Pakoras were crispy & very tasty, the Butter Chicken was creamy with loads of chicken & enough sauce, the Naan bread was fluffy & buttery, & the Gulab Jamoon was a sweet finish for dessert. Also recommend the Mango Lassi.
Excellent - the service, the food & the ambience were all top notch. Lost a star on the butter chicken which I found to be a bit sweeter than I remember.
Take out.
If you're used to Indian food, you will not like this place. The butter chicken was in a tomato sauce , very bland & not at all spicy as requested . The shrimps are not 16-20 as stated... They were tiny & very over-cooked. The lentil dish was very bland as well. We had to add sauce from our fridge to make it better.
The service upon pick-up was terrible.
Never going again.
I had high expectation & I was a little disappointed. Not because of anything they did, or didn't do.
I was hoping for vegetarian dishes. There was a wonderful variety of dishes. Everything smelled amazing.
The only criticism I have is that everything was too spicy, as in the heat, not the flavours. The heat was a single & slightly camouflaging note across most dishes, except the butter chicken, which tasted beautifully buttery. If you are not a fan of spicy heat, this place isn't for you.
The staff were friendly & attentive. The atmosphere is fine.
We went for a late lunch & they were already getting ready for a busy evening with a full house.
I believe the diner menu may be different.
I think this is a place that requires another visit to see if it's different or consistently spicy.
