We arranged a surprise bday dinner for a friend here as it came highly recommended. The Yorkville location was not open on Sunday so we came to Richmond Hill. It is located at the bottom of a building and access is from a back road but there was lots of free parking. The restaurant was pretty but the staff told us this location is classical Indian but downtown is more about presentation. The staff were all friendly and helpful but some of the younger newer staff need more training.....they removed our cutlery between apps and dinner but did not bring any new cutlery until we asked. The only vegan gluten free app was the okra salad. They couldn't guarantee that the fries and aloo tikki were gluten free. Our table enjoyed the veg platter & meat platter (it was not a sizzler), fish, lamb, kofta, chicken, dal and rice. All was good but not spectacular as was hyped. read more

This restaurant is conveniently located and easy to access. The interior has a lively atmosphere. Our waiter provided attentive service. We waited at least 45 minutes for our food, and I even considered leaving at one point. When the food arrived, the flavors were tasty, but I didn't fully enjoy it as I had to leave for an appointment afterward. I may try this again but we will see read more

Food is always good at Adrak, so is the service. I am giving it 4 stars because it is rather difficult to get from the parking to inside if one is mobility challenged. read more

The curry was very spicy. Highly recommend the mango lassi. If you are deciding which kind of naan to get, the garlic naan is unbeatable. read more

OMG!!! What a delicious heaven of Indian food! No other Indian restaurant has come close to the taste of Adrak. They have multiple vegetarian options and few vegan options as well. Their okra salad is to die for. Their Anjeer (Fig) Koftey is another dish to die for. Their service was pleasant. We went there early and left after a few hours. They were very wonderful about it. The inside ambience is amazing. Peaceful and average loud to say the least. They are located on the main road and parking is plenty. They are business casual and family friendly. read more

I have never more disappointed in a restaurant. This Indian restaurant has been around for many years and had decided to try this place with my family. However, the utter disbelief in lack of service and feeling of prejudice had ruined any experience that could have been felt. Upon ordering our meal, we received our mango lassis fairly quickly. That was end of any service you may have. After ordering our meal, it took a staggering one and a half hour to get our food. Although the food itself was tasty, the lack of service was not enough to make up. Also, the butter chicken and fish curry had peanuts in it without any warnings on the menu or by the wait staff. My partner had an allergic reaction, and the staff showed little care. read more

We visited Adrak in Richmond Hill for Father's Day. Unfortunately it was not a great experience. We got there and after all of our party showed up (on time for our reservation) it took a while for the servers to take our drink orders. It was not busy at all! We finally ordered our food. We ordered all of the food without cilantro due to an allergy. They forgot and had to go back to get it without. Finally got the food and one roti was missing. We ordered the kadhai paneer which was the one dish everyone enjoyed, dal makhani which was fine and a fish curry which was not flavourful at all. They forgot to bring out our eggplant dish and when they did, they brought it with cilantro. We reminded them again that we needed without. We saw through the open kitchen window that they scraped it off the top. This is very dangerous for anyone who is allergic (to it as it could create a severe reaction). We sent it back and cancelled it. For a restaurant this pricey this was not worth it and the service was sub-par. read more

The food was okay, portions were extremely small for the price and I've had much better Indian food. However my biggest issue was the customer service. We arrived and were seated around 9pm on a weekday evening, and it took forever for anyone to come take our order. We tried asking many different servers for assistance, and it seemed they were all "preoccupied" despite it not being busy. After we finally placed our order, it took around another hour for our food to come, for which we also had to ask multiple times if our food was coming as we were starving as it's past 10pm!! It was a very unpleasant experience, and I would not recommend this establishment. read more

Excellent food, clean space. Would definitely recommend if you like Indian food, in an elegant setting.

My friend and I had an incredible dining experience at Adrak! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly service. The ambiance was inviting, with tasteful decor that created a cozy atmosphere. We ordered chicken biryani and eggplant vegeterian main course It was so delightful! Adrak is a gem of a restaurant, and we're grateful to have discovered it. If you're a fan of exquisite Indian cuisine or want to try something new and tasty. We'll definitely be returning soon to savor more ! read more

I really wanted to love this place after reading so many good things about it, but it just didn't hit the mark for me. I came here for the first time this past Saturday evening around 7:30pm. There was actually an engagement party happen, so it was a pretty full restaurant when we arrived. We Ordered: - Veggie Platter - Non Veg Platter (Both were really tasty but pretty expensive for $40 & $45 each. ) - Butter Chicken - Chicken Tikka Masala - Baingain Bhartha - Shahi Paneer ( SWEET ) - Daal Makhani - 3 Butter Naans - 1 Laccha Paranthas - 3 Tikona Naan -1 Garlic Naan - 1 Romali Roti The main dishes were probably the least exciting for me, especially because some of them were incorrect, and the naans were lukewarm ( some were also burnt ) I think the timing was a bit off in preparation for them. Something I wanted to highlight was that both the Butter Chicken & Shahi Paneer dishes had a very sweet gravy. When we placed the order, we asked our server if either of them would be sweet, and if they could make them a bit more savoury. To which, the manager scoffed and said, of course, they will not be. Well, they both ended up being really sweet and unenjoyable. Four of us were actually sick later than night & the following day from some of the main dishes. The biggest let down was the service. First, we had seating issues, where we were offered a poor seating option that was very tight and uncomfortable for our party of 6 and another neighbouring party. Secondly, our order was incorrectly taken by the Manager himself ( they accidentally served us saag paneer instead of shahi paneer), when we asked for additional cutlery, staff would often be confused about how many additional spoons we needed, and sometimes forgot. Lastly, the wait times between our drink order, appetizer order main dishes order were 30-45min apart each. We spent over 2.5hrs here, and not by choice. Additionally, no servers or management came to check on us even once during our meal. I understand that since it was a Saturday night full of customers & one large party, that they might've been a little overwhelmed and understaffed in the kitchen, but it really created a poor experience for my family & I, especially since we were celebrating a special occasion. Our Total Bill was about $270 + tip & honestly it felt overpriced for the quality of food & service we received. I'm pretty skeptical I would come back here again, especially after this experience. Seating in this restaurant is a bit tight as well. read more

I decided to visit tonight for dinner with my Boyfriend as they had spots open for patio seating this evening. First off, The -1 rating is because we ordered 5 items. And we waited 15-20 mins between each dish in order for the next one to come out and to our table. It was to a point where we sat there long enough to feel full already as it's already setting in our stomachs. Meanwhile, everyone else around us and including us, sat there waiting for our food to come out...as we see this big group (approx 10 ppl) keep getting their dishes sent to their table. We managed to talk to the manager(?) A male who was taking orders at the time and asked why we had to wait approx 15 mins per dish to come out, for his reason to be; that it's because of the big group that it's a little slower than normal. Tbh, I don't find the reason acceptable, all the tables around had to wait a very long time for their food while the big group got their meals constantly coming towards them. To a point where the table next to us also asked the male manager(?) When their food is coming because they've been waiting for a while. I think management need to better manage other customers as well not just to focus on the big group. Also, for some reason, the servers, always comes and asks if they can take away our dishes even though clearly we haven't finished our food and have A LOT of food left on the dishes. For the food though, it was 5/5. We got the samosa, Lamb chops, butter chicken, biryani and garlic nan. All of these dishes didn't disappoint, all were very flavourful and tasty and came out nicely presented! My boyfriend even thinks so and he's not a foodie. read more

Very good food , excellent service, very attentive staff , lovely ambience, little more warmth could be added to the decor .

A great place for Indian food. Food, ambience , service everything is very good. We visited here first time 2 yrs back as per Google suggestion and I must say this has been my favorite since then . Also I told many of my friends about this place after my first visit and now they also love this restaurant. Basically I made it famous in my friend circle...Haha My favorite appetizer is aloo tikki and main course Daal Adrak, Paneer quorma. I was looking for rasmalai in almost every Indian restaurant I visited in Toronto but this was the only place where I had the best rasmalai in Toronto. I visited Adrak 3 times and it didn't disappoint us at all. I highly recommend this place for the best Indian food. Try the tamarind drink they have. read more

Super Service & Ambience Drinks are great, with an Indian twist, excellent decor and fanfare with the drinks. Bartender (Rakesh) is knowledgeable, was awesome, and knows his cocktails, liquor, liqueor... Vivek, our attendant was AWESOME... He knows the taste, recommends and was there for anything and everything. Service was impecable, hands down. The hors d'oeuvre we ordered were excellent, just the right amount of quantity not overwhelming that you have a finish all and not waste..... On the flip side it is expensive.... We shelled close to $350+ for a party of 2 on this experience. read more

Not sure why all the negative reviews, but I've grabbed takeout here twice and both times they were very consistent. I have NOT tried many menu item, lamb vindaloo, naan, butter naan and garlic naan.

If you value ethics and professionalism in service, and align this to where you want to spend your hard earned dollars, think twice about spending your money at this establishment. After booking my mother's 80th birthday event at Adrak Richmond Hill for 20 people on June 20, 2023, securing the reservation with a credit card and obtaining a confirmation of booking from the restaurant, the manager had the moral ethic to cancel our reservation a mere 72 hours before our event on July 15th, 2023 because a larger group needed more space. This larger group booked AFTER our reservation and furthermore, the restaurant did not adhere to acceptable good practices in restaurant management by respecting existing and confirmed reservations. Many excuses about not having a deposit (I gave my CC and was not asked for a deposit- texts to prove this), and not picking out the menu (menu was being discussed during the exchange). Apparently, the larger group needed more space and my reservation was perhaps not as important to them (aka $?). In anticipation of the restaurant's response as to contrary on this website, here is what I received as a text "the large group has .. added more guests so we won't have enough space to accommodate your group. As such, I regret to inform you that we won't be able to host your lunch". Sorry Adrak- you lost a loyal customer and a great deal of your reputation. read more

Give yourself a pampered dinner with your loved one at this time indian cuisine. Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Speed of order : 5/5 Overall it is a great decor and wonderful place for a fine Indian food experience. Our server is very attentive and able to offer what they can do to satisfy our taste. The glass see through kitchen catches my eyes on how they barbeque our fish ( we order the whole fish bbq) and it is quite an enjoyment for customers like us who love to see the process of cooking. It is a gem in Richmond Hill and plenty of parking it offers around the building where the restaurant located at the bottom of the commercial building. Quite a great dining experience. Thankful to Yelpers reviews and allowed us to select this Indian cuisine and turned out a good dining experience for us We ordered a lentil soup, great flavour with spice. The spice didn't cover up the lentils at all. The soup tasting offered to us ~ a shot of cream of tomatoes, great food business technique. We also ordered one curry tikka masala, taste right with flavorful spices. We like naan esp their mixed veggie naan, great taste. Just we find it a little bit oily. Overall tastes are flavorful just right. Grilled fish is ok. It was a little bit under cooked but the server and chef offered to cook the new whole fish for us . However we didn't wanna waste food so we just wanted them to cook well the fish. It was pleasantly well handled and fixed by the chef . We also had masala tea. Good they didn't add sugars. Some places does add sugars so its not good you cannot control what you like. I would return and hope you will try it out. read more

Authentic Indian cuisine at a reasonable price is tough to come by outside of the usual suspects (Brampton, Mississauga) but Adrak located in Richmond Hill really hits the mark! If ambiance is important, this is a great spot to celebrate a special occasion as their seating can accommodate groups of any size. During our visit, we ordered the Tandoori Masala Tikka, Paneer Makhan (same gravy as butter chicken), Biryani, a variety of naans and masala chai. This was more than enough to feed 6 individuals and only cost around $100. All items were fresh out of the oven (highly recommend their garlic naan) and had the right amount of spice. As an FYI - you can specify your spice level while ordering. The only disappointment was their biryani, which tasted a little bland, so if you are a biryani lover I would avoid this item. Overall, you will have a wonderful experience, the food is great, prices are reasonable and the staff is really friendly so I recommend you check out Adrak the next time you are in York region and craving Indian food! read more

It has been a while since I have been to an Indian restaurant. This one is on the upscale side. Everything from cutleries to furniture to service is fancy. Family friendly. Food is a bit pricey for the portions. I asked the waiter what is vegan friendly and he listed few options. Not bad but I was expecting more vegan friendly dishes from an Indian restaurant. I ordered Gobi aloo (picture below) and it was a OK. Overall it was a nice dining experience. If you are a fan of Indian food then I suggest that you check it out. read more

Why haven't I reviewed this wonderful restaurant yet! Excellent food and great ambience. They have big clear glass window to some sections of their kitchen which gives an amazing view of the chef making fresh Indian breads and tandoor. Very neat, cozy lights and candles with instrumental music. Fancy eh..What more can one ask for here? Adrak is One out of very few Indian restaurants in GTA which gives you a feeling of a high end professional restaurant experience. The food taste very delicious and service was high standards. We were feeling very generous to tip them however they accepted tips ONLY in cash even if you paid through your Card. They totally deserved to be tipped. Sadly we didn't carry cash with us. But I would definitely make it up to them next time I go in. Yes it's pricey but the quality and quantity is upto the mark. So I don't mind paying little extra price than the other restaurants. I save it for a special day and would not make it a regular place. Trust me, Being a vegetarian and an Indian this is one of very few places in GTA with such good food quality. It does tastes like made by a professional chef than some unskilled labour working part-time to pay off his tuition. Yeah I know! That sucks. They gave complimentary tomato basil soup in shot glasses. It was yummy. Not too tangy nor sweet, Just right! The dishes we ordered were appetizer- Soya Malai Chaap (all I can say about this dish is MUST TRY) Main course- Paneer Makhanwala (rich, creamy, hint of extra spiciness we asked for) Panchratna Dal (Mmuuuaahh) and for drinks- Virgin Mojito with Garlic Naan n vegetables Stuffed Kulcha Bill was around $85 (Excluding TIP) We definitely had left overs enough for next day's lunch. Can't wait to go back there!! I hope next time we have same or even better experience. My last visit has given me high hopes towards you Adrak..!! read more

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the GTA. Great ambiance, great food, great service. The restaurant interior is stylishly decorated: nice furniture, fancy tableware, mood lighting, etc. There's a glass wall separating the dining tables from the kitchen, and it was cool being able to watch the chefs cook. The servers were very friendly and prompt, and they gave us good recommendations for food. We ended up ordering the Aloo Tikki Trio (very good), the Tandoori Chicken (good), the Lamb Rogan Josh (excellent), and the Fish Vindaloo (good but quite spicy). As a side, we got garlic naan (tasty), and as a desert we got the Beetroot Halwa (unique - good, but I'd prefer something different next time). We split all of that amongst just the two of us and left very stuffed. You probably could get by with one less appetizer and/or no dessert and still have more than enough food. Overall we had a fun time and would definitely come back. Give Adrak a try if you're in the area. read more

3.5 Stars Came here with a group for dinner. We did the sensible thing and ordered a bunch of different dishes so we could share. - Chicken biryani - Lamb Biryani - butter chicken - chicken tikka masala - salmon tikka - non vegetarian mixed platter (various apps) - garlic naan - eggplant curry Overall everything was pretty tasty - the tikka masala I think was probably the best dish. The biryanis were also pretty good and the eggplant curry had a delicious spicy kick to it! The biryanis came in pots with a naan like bread covering the tops. I've never seen it presented that way so it was interesting. The service was a bit slow, but we were a larger group. Also the kitchen is see through so we could tell our naans were being made fresh. At the end we ordered masala chai ($4). I'm sorry but I'm not sure on what planet this is masala chai. The fragrances of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves etc, just weren't there. Save your $4! We didn't even finish the tea. read more

Cons: Poor service - After the host brought us to a table, my friend and I sat there for 15 minutes without receiving any water or any service. Looked around and saw the dining area wasn't even busy at all, the staffs were either standing there or just walking around, idling. Had to raise my hand to get service and ask for water after waiting for service. Pros: Decent food TLDR: Will not come back due to poor service. They also have strong competitors in downtown that have better service and equivalent food quality / price. read more

All the hype. Does it live up to it? So I pestered my friends to drive all the way to Markham to try the swanky new Indian joint. We arrived at 6.30pm on seemingly busy Sunday evening. Interiors are done in a trendy fashion so enjoy them, you're gonna pay for it. Now, now. Its not bad by any standards. So hold on to your horses. The best part about Adrak is their cocktail menu. I love having perfect cocktails with Indian food because its a rare thing to happen to you. Kaala Khatta is the first cocktail on the list and its absolutely fantastic. The squeaky tangy flavor of Indian Tamarind is dominant and it flourishes in your mouth long after you've taken a sip. Starters: Next best part. The Galouti Kebabs which I had been dying for were made to perfection. Soft, moist grounded meat which melts before you even try to chew on it. The Tandoori Platter is pretty standard but again, perfect! Last but not the least, Shrimps! Man O Man, what a relish. Have you tried Jumbo shrimps which were crisp and soft at the same time? Now I have. So, why did I start this review with a sad face? Main course! Although nothing wrong with it but it did not appeal to my Indian palates. Plenty of colors but it was as if they were afraid I'd sue if the main course happen to carry a punch. Punjabi Daal Makhani and Chicken Lababdaar both were quite mild in flavor. Malai Kofta could have done without generous turmeric. Maybe it was my bad luck given that day they were out of Lamb, Goat and most of the desserts on the menu. I'm pretty sure about it because when I ordered another Pista Kulfi, they said I had the last one in stock already! I might be back when someone wishes to throw me a treat. Or if wife drags me back for cocktails and appetizers! P.S: Exceptional service. So please tip generously. The staff deserves it! ---------------- Update: June 25, 2015 Maybe its my bad luck that my second attempt to like Adrak failed miserably. Came over with extended family to celebrate a birthday and ended up with drinks brought an hour after ordering. Just 2 guys owning the floor. Apparently, entire staff was busy catering! Galouti kebabs amazing as always. They have changed names on the menu. Kala Khatta changed to Tamarind Cocktail. Plain n simple. Wife was disappointed a bit since it was served without spices and rose petals like the last time around. Still, both the guys on the floor were trying their best. Maybe third time's a charm. read more

OK, this place is a bit pricey. But I did get a good order in. I'm guessing the review rating at 3 maybe a bit low. I had the paneer Tikka Masala and the lamb Naan. The curry was very flavourful, rich for sure, but that's how it's supposed to be. The Naan especially was good, the filling was a well cooked and delicate meat. UnLike many other places fail to have the right proportion on the meat to dough ratio, the chef got it bang on! Even the edges had the stuffing and that was great to note. The paneer was soft, veggies crunchy and a great roasted taste of the tandoor. Would definitely consider coming here again. But the decor is nothing Indian, the glass kitchen is great but still not focal to the decor for the tables closer to the bar area. Overall, I'd day the food wins it for me read more

Adrak - Panerr Tikka Masala and lamb naan - Indian Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Would I come back? Yes. LOCATION ------------------------ Food was delicious and the space is really classy. Warning that it is a little hard to find because it looks like an office building and by the time you see the restaurant's sign, you've already gone too far; you'll have to take a few right turns to get there. FOOD ------------------------ By far, the best dish we ordered was the paneer makhanwala (cubes of homemade cheese simmered in a creamy sweet + spicy Tomato sauce - $17). It's vegetarian, but was the favourite at our table among meat eaters too. We also ordered the non-veg platter and meat & seafood sampler platters. At $45 each, they were a good way to try multiple things on the same dish, but for the taste, portion size, and overall enjoyment, I would choose individual dishes like the paneer makhanwala next time. We paired our orders with multiple types of rice and naan; you really can't go wrong choosing any of them. SERVICE ------------------------ All the staff were very friendly and eager to serve. This isn't the servers' fault, but the restaurant was less than 10% full and we waited maybe half an hour for our food. If the restaurant was full, I'm not sure how they could possibly keep up with orders. RESERVATIONS ------------------------ They have OpenTable, but I don't know if they restrict it intentionally because there were no reservations available when I tried, but I called and they were wide open. When we arrived, it was 90% empty, so I'm not sure how their online reservation system works. OVERALL ------------------------ The restaurant downtown pricey, but the food was delicious. read more

Never expected good indian food/restaurant in Richmond hill. Varun (manager) suggested some good dishes which our dinner amazing . We tried soya chaap which was soft and melting. Last time I had chaap was when I visited Chandigarh and never expected to eat here. Mirch baigan masala as main course was excellent. As I am not an eggplant fan but we took a risk to order this vegetable as was highly suggestedYes by Varun. Slow charcoal cooked eggplant tastes amazing and goes well with spicy gravy. Last but not the least Aam panna drink was excellent and loved every sip of it. read more

This place recently opened and it looks like they're still tinkering with a few details, but overall it's a great experience. The décor and space here are elegant and simple - an ideal setting for a small group. The chef personally visited our table to advise on gluten free dishes and he clearly knew what he was talking about. We ordered several items for sharing and they were all great, but my favourites were the Baingan Bharta and Paneer Makhan Waala...simply amazing! On an amusing note, a self-described "greatest mixologist in the GTA" arrived at our table and didn't hold back on sharing his extensive qualifications. I'm not sure he's the best fit for this business but I can't blame them for trying. Our extremely attentive server earnestly recommended the most expensive dish in every category and urged us to order "alcohol" a few times. With a little practice he'll likely find a lighter touch wins more hearts and minds. He was embarrassed to learn that the Baingan Bharta was a hit around the table after specifically recommending that we not order it. They forgot to bring out one of our naan bread orders but quickly did so once we told them. I would definitely come back here! read more
