Sandhu presents a reassuring blend of Italian and Indian dishes with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and flavors that shine across the menu. The restaurant also stands out for its own delivery system, avoiding third party apps, with meals arriving hot and well prepared. The dining and takeout experience is consistently praised for friendly, attentive service and reliable portions whether dining in or ordering out. Guests highlight the welcoming atmosphere, the variety of options including vegetarian choices, and the chance to sample multiple dishes through tasting options, making it a place to return to.
Price is super fair, the food is tasty & the portions big. I can't find anything wrong in this place & recommend it for small or big groups when you don't know whether to eat Italian or Indian (what a combo to choose from!!)
The website is incredibly user-friendly, & what really stood out is that they have their own delivery system, no Uber Eats or DoorDash. That's something special these days.
My order arrived in about 20 minutes, & the food was hot, fresh, & absolutely delicious. I had the Mendra chicken with rice & naan.
I'll definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend!
The food was tasty, but I will rate it poorly for the customer service. I wanted to order just onions on the side with my food order, & I looked at the menu; it wasn't there. So I called the restaurant & asked them to put some onions on the side. They said,'Go in the menu; you'll find salad.' But when I checked, there wasn't one specifically for onions. I called them back, & they said they couldn't put onions on the side. I don't understand that you're running a restaurant, but you can't put the onion on the side with the food. I was ready to pay for it too, but I couldn't find it on the menu & couldn't taste garlic on garlic naan it was like plain naan
La nourriture était savoureuse, mais le service client laisse à désirer. Je voulais simplement commander des oignons à part avec mon plat, mais ils n'étaient pas sur la carte. J'ai donc appelé le restaurant pour en demander. On m'a répondu : « Regardez la carte, vous trouverez une salade. » Or, il n'y avait pas d'option avec des oignons. J'ai rappelé, & on m'a dit que ce n'était pas possible. Je ne comprends pas comment on peut tenir un restaurant & ne pas proposer les oignons à part. J'étais même prête à payer, mais je ne les trouvais pas sur la carte & le naan à l'ail n'avait pas le goût d'ail ; il était nature.
Repas de fête groupe. Super cuisine....& je ne suis pas fan d'indien pcq je trouve souvent que j ai 2-3 morceaux dans plein de sauce....pas le cas ici belle portion. Plein de saveurs a refaire 👍
Je me suis fait livrer de l'agneau un vendredi soir, directement auprès du resto, sans application...
Après une longue attente de 1:10h & un appel passé au resto pour voir si la commande était en route, j'ai enfin pu déguster mon repas...
L'agneau était délicieux! Tendre, la sauce goûteuse MAIS, 5 cubes d'agneau, un riz sec, réchauffé & un pain naan hors d'usage, tout mouillé pour 24$, selon moi, c'est rire des gens....
Tout était selon les attentes. Service sympathique, nourriture gouteuse & en bonne quantité autant en italien qu'en Indien. Ce fut une belle découverte.
Really good food. It is a place we go to regularly. They have an Italian & Indian meal selection & both are good. I usually get an Indian lamb dish or the butter chicken. The rest of the family usually goes for an Italian dish. Never left disappointed.
The service is very friendly & attentive. We had a good time. One thing, that can be more personal & not necessarily viewed as an issue for others, the music was a bit loud & not suited for conversation. We were still able to talk & enjoy the moment.

Service pas terrible, a peine un bonjour & un aurevoir. Serveur très peu aimable.
Niveau cuisine le tartare de saumon est bon mais les pizza sont a éviter, elles sont surgelés...
L'ambiance était super & le service aussi, je crois que j'ai pas choisi le bon repas avec le poulet aux champignons. Tout le reste était vraiment bon, les entrées étaient excellentes & nos invités sont des réguliers!
I ordered takeout from skip. First order was cancelled 40 mins after it was accepted. Second time the order came but daal makhani seemed like watered down . I really was expecting better from this restaurant.
Based on their response to the review, I will try this restaurant once again. Thank you
It used to be good pizza to order out, now they put cheap cheese like all the other cheap places. Only the sauce was good. The bread ordinary & the ingredients were not fresh.
