Months ago, I've dined at Aunty's to try their famous butter chicken which comes with salad and naan. The portions were humongous and I had plenty of leftovers (it was like two meals worth of food!) The butter chicken sauce was really flavourful, but quite heavy on the stomach. That's why for this particular visit, I decided to order something lighter and went for the tandoori wrap. The wrap consisted of tandoori chicken pieces covered in spicy mayo. It's a simple wrap with only two ingredients for the filling, but it was simply delicious! It tasted as good as it smelled too. The variety of spices made it very aromatic. There was just the right amount of spice which made it tasty. It was a bit of a wait for them to make the wrap, but we were offered a free drink for the wait - that's awesome customer service which I appreciate! It's uncommon to see that for a place in the plaza. Music is also quite loud here but their playlist is great. Overall, food is yummy, price is decent, and portions are huge. They do have discounts every now and then which are shown on the sign by the plaza entrance on University Ave so I'd keep an eye out for that. I'd come back again!

Fish Curry with Salad and plain Naan
Manav K.

I almost always purchase the Fish Curry and I'm always pleasantly surprised by how good it tastes. It comes with either the choice of a salad or fries - I always go for the salad to balance out the meal. They changed the salad about a year ago and it's much tastier now. Would recommend trying! Only criticism is they replaced all metal cutlery with plastic ones. Less enjoyable experience to be cutting a fried fish with a plastic spoon. Otherwise 7.5-8 out of 10

a burrito and french fries

Attached a pic of one of the combos. Ordered from this place today through skip the dishes. 2 Dinner plates which come with 3 sides each. Paid 30+ tax. Came with handful of rice and exactly 4 small pieces of meat. Had asked to keep sauce on side but the sauce did not come and neither it was on the rice. Fries come in paper box which get moist due to the steam. Also, the order was delayed.

Chicken on the rocks, so good!

I'm not sure why people complain about the portion size as they're still huge. My fiancé always gets the butter chicken and according to him the chicken is drier than before because they switched from dark meat to white meat? Otherwise all the selections are very good, I especially like their rice and garlic sauce, very tasty!

Chicken on the rocks (7.99 plus tax)

Tldr: Great joint for indian cuisine close to UW campus, flavorful, filling dishes, friendly staff, has great specials, would recommend Come here often when my tongue is asking for Indian style cuisine during school. Aunty's offers a wide selection of dishes including biryani, butter chicken, fish curry, sharwarma plates wraps, and more. When i come here i usually get the butter chicken or the chicken on the rocks. If you get the butter chicken, it comes with rice, naan, and a choice of salad or fries. The chicken is usually pretty juicy and it blends so well with the flavors of the creamy, spicy butter chicken sauce. The chicken on the rocks is a great option as well if you love sauce. They fill up the box with a huge amount of rice, shawarma chicken, and they top it off with the richest garlic sauce. You will definitely get full when you eat here, sometimes i eat half for lunch and save the other half for dinner. Staff are pretty friendly as well. The prices are reasonable, but i would suggest to come on Saturday's as they have discount deals on select dishes during the later morning to late afternoon. Recently they also started a happy hour deal after 4pm for a couple hours, so be sure to go then as well to save some $$$. Would recommend to anyone!

I usually come here to get butter chicken but have tried the fusion and shawarma plates as well. The naan is really good especially with the butter chicken but they only give you 4 pieces of chicken. The meals are good and come in decent sizes. However, recently they don't give you big portions like they used to and increased their prices. They have consistent quality and do satisfy Indian cravings. Def a great go to in the plaza! Tip: it is 25% off for certain meals during certain times on Saturday! (10-2pm)

Aunty's Kitchen provides tasty, budget-conscious South-Asian food in a quick-service restaurant environment. My friends at Westmount Signs recommended I come here to try out this new restaurant, opened only since December, and I was not disappointed. The food was very flavourful and spicy and I was pleasantly surprised by the large portion size for a $6.99 Chicken Karahi. They also have a special for any 6 dishes on their menu for $35 including tax and delivery. My only complaint is that their hours of operation are somewhat restrictive. They are not open Saturday at lunchtime or on Sundays... but everyone needs a break, even Aunty!

Chicken shawarma plate
Mira S.

Love the chicken shawarma plate at this place!! Their garlic sauce is to die for! Always ask for extra :) I've also tried the butter chicken poutine, the fish and chips, the naan shawarma, and the chilli chicken! They're all soso flavourful and really delicious. Also tried the tandoori chicken, which was really dry so I wasn't a big fan of it.. Recently the portion sizes have shrunk and the prices have gone up. They also don't add anymore dressing to their salad which is a big bummer.. The staff is really friendly and the overall restaurant atmosphere is nice. Still really good food so would definitely recommend!! Hopefully quality doesn't keep depreciating...

Aunty's Cafe used to be Aunty's kitchen down on king street. Aunty's Cafe is a great place to get some fairly authentic Pakistani food. The owners and employees are polite and help you figure out the menu. Many of the food items take a little while to be served because they are cooked to order. Other things that are ready made will be served immediately. The restaurant has 4 to 5 tables with space for 4 people each. The food itself is delicious. I personally liked the Zubi Wrap, butter chicken, naan and paratha! The biryani I didn't like as much.

Been here a few times and their portions definitely fill me up. Personally, I find the the biryani pretty spicy, but you can ask them to mix it with some plain rice which helps. The naan and butter chicken are really good and full of flavour. Really top notch. The only thing I wish is that they make their portions a bit smaller (and a bit cheaper); all of their dinner plates are around $10.50, and I can never finish their biryani because there's so much rice. Though it's still pretty affordable and the quality of the food definitely beats most other restaurants in this plaza.

Hello again again Waterloo! So, as told by my partner I had to try this place. Here I am! I bought THE FUSION which had Biryani rice, tandoori shawarma, butter chicken sauce, and fries. Mixed it all together and it was tastefully good. Heavy though but satisfying! The spice is good. The fries were fried just right. The biryani rice was delicious with the butter chicken sauce. The chicken was, mwah! I should have asked for garlic sauce, I think the taste factor would go more up. Overall, loved it! I would go again. Price is appropriate to portion size of the meal.

I just want to warn you guys about their shwarma plate. It's really gross. Don't get it!!! Their butter chicken is still pretty good though.

Raja Fine Indian Cuisine - Beef Chukka Masala

Tried this Indian restaurant while visiting the area while on business trip…read more All I can say is the food is delicious and made to perfection, I had experienced this place twice during my trip. First time I had ordered via Uber Eats, and was delighted by the taste of the Biriyani that I ordered, very well cooked and packaged. I visited the place two days later in person. The place has a full bar, and good seating arrangements, and has South Indian music playing. They had a menu with many South Indian speciality items. Service was friendly and super quick, I felt that the tables were a bit smaller than normal. We ordered a chicken lollipop, Goat Chukka Biriyani, Garlic Naan and Beef Chukka Masala curry. The biriyani, naan and lollipop are all made perfectly and tasted great. I don't recommend the beef chukka masala. Highly recommend this place for delicious Indian food if you are in Kitchener Ontario.

Items ordered Medu Vada, Sambar Vada, Chicken 65, Kara Masala Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa…read more We loved every bit that was ordered, the Vada's were perfect, the chutney served was amazing, the Dosa's reminded me of actual south Indian Dosa's that I have had in India. Chicken 65 was not as per our taste, the owner Raja was kind enough and tried to make us another plate and we still didn't like it that much and was so nice that he took it back - he took any feedbacks we gave so well and was a pleasant person to deal with. I understand the food order takes time, I would advice to place your orders ahead - but I also understand the reason why they take time - firstly they are always busy, any day of the week plus the food is freshly made so the taste stays intact and that's what makes this place special. If you have patience, definitely try the two Dosa's for sure PS: couldn't take pictures of all the food coz we just attacked on it asap it came
