Amazing! I would rate it 6 stars if I could. My friend & I both got platters of about 2 kinds of meats, rice, naan, a veggie dish & a lentil dish + samosas, & it was incredibly delicious!

The place itself is not the greatest looking but the food is really good. We did order a thali & we could choose four options from the buffet. All the vegetarian ones were flavorful, good amount of spicyness, basically everything you want. The fresh garlic Naan was delicious as well as the fresh Mango Lassy. I will definitely come back when I am around.

So, we've now sampled the entire menu over a few weeks.

& the verdict is out: it is very meh. But thankfully they aren't the only brown spot in the area anymore.

The naan is somehow burnt & raw. Like thawed uncooked chapati.
Rice is nothing to write home about, but edible.
The veggies & legumes are all just fine.
The desserts…. a-ok.
The beef tastes like bark.
The lamb is ordinary.
The chicken is very good.
But the butter chicken? I suspect their sauce's secret is Kraft Dinner powder.

It used to be very good (many years ago). Not sure what happened! We would order often in the past & were never dissatisfied, what a shame.

Only thing worth something is the samosas! For 1.75$, they are actually very good & filling. Ideal for broke students!

I'm giving an extra star for the very clever comment replies that the management leaves! Pure snotty gold! But seriously, don't go there. We have so many alternatives now.

A flavour of India!! Loved their food. You'll get roti, nan, samosa, chicken curry, lamb curry, paneer, fuchka, snacks, what not!! Quality & quantity both are good. Good for a takeaway/ dine in, they are super quick in food delivery.

Always the best good service. I've been coming here for years & the food has never disappointed. I feel like a lot of negative reviews are from people who are from Indian countries who are here in Canada & aren't happy the food isn't as authentic as back home. Regardless of it not being as authentic as some hole in the wall that you're used to back home, it's good food.
