Given the lack of customers, service was a little slow but friendly enough. They were also playing the Indian music a little too loud for my taste, was hard to hear my coworker.

Massive menu that it was a bit hard to go through and decide what I even wanted!…read more Came on a weeknight evening and surprisingly only had 3 other tables in the restaurant. There was only one server at the time when I went in. Food was good and portions were huge, great for sharing. I got: Chicken biryani (serves 2) 4/5 - This was in massive portions with a mountain of rice and full chicken legs hidden throughout. It was topped with an egg sliced in half, some sauced chicken breast pieces and raw onion. I thought that there wasn't enough raw onion for the ratio of the rice. Also came with a yogurt sauce to help with the spice. Overall, very flavourful, delicious and great for sharing. Butter chicken with garlic naan 5/5 - Thought this was delicious, creamy, tomatoey, and had the perfect amount of spice. Garlic naan was already crispy and paired well with the butter chicken. I devoured this one and wanted more. Overall, a solid place for dinner or lunch. Portions are huge, especially if it's the biryani. Be prepared to pack your food to go since portions are large.

I took my seat and ordered some food. Here's what we had: - Tandoori - 7/10: The taste was fine, but I deducted 3 points because it seemed like the tandoori was fried. - Mutton Roast - 10/10: The mutton was soft and incredibly flavorful. - Hyderabadi Chicken - 10/10: Spicy and flavorful, it was delicious. The spice level is intense, but enjoyable. - Amravati Chicken - 10/10: My first time trying this dish, and it was great. It was slightly sweeter than the Hyderabadi Chicken. - Malai Kofta - 10/10: Paired with naan, this was my favorite. Highly recommended for vegetarians. To end our delicious dinner, we had: - Mango Blast - 10/10 - Rasmalai - 10/10 I've already pinned this place to come back soon. Shoutout to Savni, our server, who was great!

Definitely gonna come back!!

We ordered butter chicken momo, veg manchurian fried rice and chili chicken. The Veg manchurian was good but dry and manchurian seemed shriveled. Chili chicken was good too. However, the momo were the star of the order, flavorful and tasty. I think their curry preparations are better than indo-chinese. Next time will try Indian curries from this restaurant.

Had chai and halwa (carrot dessert) at this location. The price felt alright for the area, but it…read moretook soooo long to serve the halwa. We waited almost half an hour. If that's the usual wait, it would have been nice to be given a heads up, because the wait seemed a bit unusual. (Perhaps they forgot hmm.) The chai was warming and adequately spiced. The halwa was also well-spiced but a bit overly sweet for my taste. Nice pinch of cardamom. But I've had better and less sweet at other Indian places in Toronto, so wouldn't come back for that again. The place was well lit and the tables were clean. There was plenty of seating.

I personally feel like their karak is not as good as before, but their samosa was not bad, lots of filling inside and a bit spicy. The samosa was expensive ($2.50 for one) for the quality but they have a loyalty program and you can redeem it for free. Previously, I have tried their samosa chaat, sandwiches, falooda and more menu items.

However, service is somewhat slow, as we saw only one server trying his best to wait the section (50+ seats, about half occupied). Parking is convenient in the plaza's large parking lot.

I had to find a quick solution and spoke to Jaipur and ordered me a full tray of the best butter chicken in the world and 3 garlic naans. Chunky pieces of juicy flavourful tandoori chicken swimming in a pool of buttery tomato sauce was so addictive ! They make the best gravy!! We could just eat this every day! They loaned us a aluminum restaurant tray so we could transport it home safely. I can't believe we polished the tray off in 2 days.My goodness! I knew I had to write another review bc my last review was from 6 yrs ago. Salivating just looking at the pictures I posted. Tomorrow I'm placing 2 additional orders of this glorious creation and will portion them out and freeze them like we initially discussed with Jaipur. Amritsari fish is quite tasty too. One day I will try other items on the menu but Butter Chicken is must every time I visit!

I absolutely love this place. Normally, a place that has a massive menu is a bit concerning to me…read moreas it often leads to not really excelling at anything, but that is not the case here in my experience. The reason behind the large menu is related to the aim of the restaurant, which is to showcase the various regional cuisines of India. As a result, don't expect the straightforward menu of: apps, entrees, deserts, etc... rather the menu is divided by cuisine. Aside from honouring tradition, they do offer a couple 'new' takes on some items. If you comb through a few reviews, and certainly the pics, you'll notice a must-order items is the roasted eggplant with pomegranate. It really is like nothing else I've had before and unforgettable in both taste and texture. My group also went with a famous lamb dish as well. I don't remember the name offhand, but it is incredibly soft, well seasoned and nicely spiced dish. We also went with orders of naan, veggie dishes and meat skewers. It's beautifully decorated inside and also has the advantage of being located in a heritage building in what was formerly an estate home nearly 150 years old. It's truly a unique place and one people living in the area can be proud and of showcase to visitors.

She changed the chai with Earl Gray which was really tasty. The ambiance was nice and comfort. The chairs were comfortable and the employees were friendly.
