Food here that we’ve had so far is absolutely delicious. We had: Hot and Sour Soup, Jalapeño Paneer Balls, Garlic Naan, Chicken Vindaloo & Chicken Dum Biryani. The naan was so good, it’s definitely the best I’ve ever had, even so was the vindaloo and biryani (except for my wife’s; her’s is to die for). Food is not too fiery for those of you who might not settle well with spicy food. Staff is welcoming and helpful. Atmosphere was cozy, while having an elegant setting. Will surely inform others about this restaurant and definitely will come again. Update: Dined here a few other times and the food reminded consistently great!

Good service, friendly staff. It’s a spacious restaurant. Food is freshly made, but can be better. Daal tadka was nice , aloo gobhi (aalo and gobhi were not cooked fully bit raw), lachha paratha was soft and tender. Bit pricey, food for one person ended up being $46 ! For that money it could be little better. Quantity wise fair

This place doesn't seem big from outside but it's not bad. This was my first time and I must say that I'll visit again. The appetizer Bombay Prawns were mouth watering, along with the sizzling Hariyali chicken and a bit spicy, with garam masala, mutton Biryani. The presentation was amazing. The service was pleasant. We got there a bit late on Sunday after 9pm. I was told they close at 930pm, however, please take your time and order all your food before the kitchen is closed. Then you can take your time and enjoy until you're ready to leave. I was very happy to hear that. A little bit of tidiness at the entrance would be pleasant though. It's a must visit place to experience the flavours.

I would like to give 3.5 stars but can't. The food was good. But I've had much better for much less. The portion sizes are good though. The portion sizes look small but they aren't really. The vessels and plates look small but the amount is just as much as other peoples (bowls are deep and bigger on the bottle) The dum biryani tried but missed the mark. Presentation and quantity was great. Most of the spice flavours were there, they didnt skimp on the spices, but some elements were missing. The rice was not long grain, and not sifted/low quality as I got a tiny pebble in my mouth. The lamb meat had a meaty flavour/smell that is usually easy to cook off with the right technique and spices, but the meat itself was good cuts and cooked well. The curries had a lot of gravy and not as much chicken. The naan was good, but it did not seem like a tandoori naan but rather one made in a pizza oven. The staff was friendly but there were so many servers! I know that sounds like a good thing, but we had one person ask how our food was, 10 seconds later another asked, 30 seconds later another asked. I would prefer being assigned one server for the table and maybe another walking around checking up. Not 5. The ambiance was nice but for a fine dining place some details were missed; ie. No table cloths and the table setting was on the wrong side. It was definitely worth trying, but not my first choice for an encore visit. I may still go again though, eventually. Pictured: Madras Chicken, regular naan, chicken vindaloo (bright red), and lamb dum biryani.

Really enjoyed my dinner here and would say this is one of the better Indian food places in Toronto. We had the fish curry, lamb bum biryani and a veggie paneer dish which were all terrific. The service was also fast, friendly and helpful. The price and portion sizes were better than I am used to at other similar restaurants. Will definitely be back.
