    This review is of the samosa. They have just one type of samosa, which is the average potato-based one. It had that Punjab region type seasoning, for those who know the difference. It was larger than Samosa King and just 0.60 cents for one. Its nothing special tbh. Your average samosa.

    We were a few blocks away and let's looking for an Indian (casual) place, when I remembered that the A1 from Oakville has a branch in Scarborough, lucky we were less than five minute drive away. Ordered two Thalia with naan and a Methi Potato with Roti the Potato being one of the two non dairy option on the menu. The service was a bit slow even though the restaurant being not super busy. But as soon as the naans and roti made in tandoor were ready we were quickly served. The place needs a bit of clean up, not overly dirty it compared to the one Oakville it certainly needs some clean up. The naans were super fresh and fluffy and rotis my preferred option were made to perfection. Warm, soft and whole wheat- yum! Could have eaten just the rotis plain. The Potato needed some additional seasonings as we all felt it lower in salt. The Okra had too much oil. Traditionally that's how Okra is cooked (with little or no water), however some places we have seen have taken care of that problem. The rest of the dishes were good, only the Malai Kofta had green peas, which was out place. For $8+taxes for Thali its a fair price.

    PLACE: A1 is a great place to get Indian food especially when you want to eat at home or take it out else where! They do have seats in the restaurant but its not a fancy place and definitely not a restaurant type of place as people are always coming in and leaving. The seating area is not the cleanest, but after renovating, it has gotten better. The parking lot has plenty of space for people to park as its in a plaza. FOOD: The veggie biryani can come to cater your spice needs (mild or hot). I eat a lot of spicy food so when its hot and fresh, the biryani is spicy which I like! It comes with the pickled carrots/onions, raita, and the biryani itself topped with paneer the first time that I got this, but the second time was almonds. The raita and biryani is a good pair and tasted delicious.I'm not a fan of the carrots but I have many friends who enjoy it and even ask for extras! The thali is a great deal to get! It comes with 3 curries, naan or roti, a dessert, salad, rice, and raita (yogurt type of side). The curries were delicious, creamy, and just the right amount of saltiness and sweetness. Some of the curries could be spicer but majority of the population don't like it that way which makes sense why they wouldn't increase their spice level. Overall, I enjoyed the curries. They have tons of paneer curry options which I love! The salad is not enough and I wish there was more especially cause it's split with the rice portion. However, they do make it up with the naan or roti you get. They have a variety of sweets aligned for you to pick right away as well. SERVICE: They are fast and friendly. If you call in and order or order online, its even faster! I was in and out within 5 minutes. PRICE: Amazing prices for the amount of food we get. $4.99 for the biryani and $7.99 or so for thali.

    I am not a vegetarian and I didn't USED to like spicy food, but this was the place that turned it all around for me. I really like the to go meals but we just tried to eat in this time and it was surprisingly nicely setup. According to my Indian friend, this place has everything that you can think of for vegetarian Indian cuisine. When I first started going here, I was sweating while eating. Don't anymore but still, some good eats.

    I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but I love A1 for my Indian food cravings. Typically I get their thali (a choice of 3 veggie dishes, 1 sweet dish, rice, salad and roti) for $8.49! Filling, delicious and a great deal. I don't have any way of measuring what the dishes are supposed to taste like, but I LOVE their malai kofta and palak paneer, and ADORE their samosas with tamarind sauce... SO good!

    A regular go-to for my family, we mainly go for the the vegetable thali. Great little takeout place with fair prices. Especially love that I can switch the dessert item with another subji.

    $7.99 Thali
    Chelsea S.

    Overall decent indian food at a great price. My standard order is the $7.99 thali, I love the variety it offers. My favorites are the shahi paneer, potato eggplant, matar paneer and aloo tikki. I wish they offered the aloo baingan (potato eggplant) as an everyday offering, I have to order a party tray every time I want it (which I do, I like it that much). Sometimes the curries have a thick layer of oil sitting on the top, the samosas are okay (nothing special) and the chana masala has been oversalted all 5x I have tried it. Other than that, great variety at an affordable price.

    The sweets for Diwali, good selection.

I went there on two different days to try two different items from their menu and here's my honest feedback: On the first day, we had their Oreo freak shake - it came in a glass bottle packed with Oreo milkshake, oreo biscuit pieces on the bottle, one part waffle - followed by vanilla ice cream and then the second part of the waffle drizzled with chocolate sauce. I'll admit, the presentation wasn't as fancy as it looks online. The taste was good (very basic, but good), so I wasn't disappointed. The next day, I ordered their cheesecake experience - it comes with their original flavor cheesecake factory cheesecake, along with a side of ice cream and one topping. I was told there will be an extra $2 charge if you want the cone that's shown in their pictures in the store and online. I am a fan of the theory that looks good and tastes good so I went all in and added the cone! My total came to $20 which IMO was a lot for what little was offered. I chose the biscoff crumb as a topping, malai ice cream, and Belgian chocolate sauce drizzled on top along with white chocolate. Honestly, the amount of biscoff crumbs they added was a joke. We felt like the cheesecake was way more sour than it should have been and decided to let the staff know to which we were told that the cheesecakes are supposed to stay good for 6 months (that could be true, but I believe the cheesecake slice we received was part of a bigger cake that had been thawed at least a few days back so it was starting to get sour), the staff was hesitant but accommodating so she replaced our cheesecake with a different one that we chose. We went for the Oreo cheesecake (not pictured), and I thought it was quite good. However, the cone added to the dish was also left open for a while I'm guessing so it had a weird taste. The malai ice cream was amazing though. I might not go back to this same location again and would be cautious even if I did.

    Was looking for a new dessert place and stumbled upon this place…read more Price $8-$15 per person Items ordered: -Kinder Bueno Shake -Ferrero Rocher Shake Food Quality (Menu, Taste, Portion size) - 4/5 The amount of items on this menu boggled my mind. So many different types of milkshakes, though there were a bunch that looked like they'd be better for IG pictures than taste. I really liked the Ferrero Rocher shake, it was exactly what I was craving, and my friends loved the Kinder Bueno Shake. It is really sweet and heavy, so not something you can always have. Though they have other drinks too so you can get some lighter. If you're a fan of milkshakes, this is the place for you. Atmosphere - 4/5 Has a cute modern ice cream parlour vibe. Has a bunch of seats but not the best for big groups. Service - 5/5 They were really helpful when I was indecisive on which shake to get. They're very courteous and enhanced the experience. Will I go again? If I have a sweet tooth craving and didn't have a big meal, yes. There are a bunch of other flavours I'd want to try.

I was very impressed that all the treats are preservative and GMO free. I had the Mocha Brownie which is topped with coffee- flavored frosting & crushed Pecans. The brownies were moist and the icing wasn't too sweet. These were my absolute favorite & for $15 you get 24 brownies that are delicious. I also tried a few of the cookies, I'm not a big cookie person but I actually liked them. The Snickerdoodle Cookie is a cinnamon sugar cookie dunked in milk chocolate and topped with white chocolate chips, again not overly sweet & you can taste the quality in the ingredients. Finally the Nuttelin' Cookie, stuffed with Skor toffee bits and a Nutella centre. It was really good when I warmed it up. I would definitely recommend Sweets by Souza.
