GARLIC NAAN LACCHA PARATHA ORIGINAL SMOKED BUTTER CHICKEN SAAG NOODLES VEG/EGG/CHICKEN ALOO GOBHI
Sam K.

The butter chicken sauce is phenomenal, probably the best in the city. The breads were on the drier side. Everything was very good though and we'd definitely order again. The Hakka noodles are also a lovely addition and full of flavour.

BUTTER CHICKEN DOSA and ORIGINAL SMOKED BUTTER CHICKEN

Everything was flawless!! The owner walked around and checked on everyone and we shared our stories and it's such a personal experience. I also got the mango rasmali for dessert and it was the best I've ever had. The wait staff was very helpful and polite. Great environment as well, not too loud and great spacing for a restaurant in Toronto.

Chicken sag

This restaurant was the perfect place for a casual/nicer dinner. It's a neighborhood spot, but the interior looks great and has a cozy feel. Every dish was better than the next. You must get the famous butter chicken. The chicken pakora appetizer was yummy. We also enjoyed an eggplant dish and sag with chicken. Skip the tikka masala. Our waiter did say we needed one rice per person but one rice was more than enough for four, so start with one (especially if you are going to try the delicious garlic naan).

Place was decently full for a weekday night, butter chicken factory has been on my go-to list for a while after hearing so many recos. Interior was cute and elegant, unexpected given the name "Factory." Liked how the food delivery and takeout pickups were separated from the dining area with an outside window. We got the dinner for two: an app, two curries, Chana masala, rice, and two breads (we upgraded to garlic naan). For the app, we had the chicken pakora, and for curries, we stuck with the classics: original smoked butter chicken and signature tikka masala. The chicken pakora was YUMMY (but I love anything pakora, so no surprise there). The curries were the real highlight--sooo good. The butter chicken was my favorite, hitting all the right spots. The chicken tikka masala had a strong green pepper flavor, which wasn't totally my thing, but it was still delicious. For drinks, we tried the Panjim Pineapple Sour and Chor Bizzare. The pineapple sour was my fave with a strong, non-artificial pineapple flavor, while the Chor Bizzare was a great choice if you're into spicy or tamarind margaritas. For dessert, we had the mango rasmalai, and absolutely devoured it. The presentation was cool with dry ice (third time I've seen that with rasmalai though LOL), but the taste was top-notch. Service was okay, though a bit slow at times. Side note, table for two did not fit dinner for two spread had to get another table pushed in lol Overall, Butter Chicken Factory was a lovely spot for a casual dinner. It hit all the right notes for me in terms of flavor, pricing, and portion sizes (we had enough leftovers for 2-3 meals, so the dinner for two was more like dinner for six--definitely bang for your buck).

Mango rasmalai

I wanted to go to a nearby ice cream shop but also wanted lunch before. Butter Chicken Factory showed up as one of the restaurants to try on my bookmarked map. When I opened their menu online using the QR code, without knowing beforehand, the Summerlicious menu was right there so I opted for it. Food: The masala fries and chicken pakora appetizers were my least favourite. They were accompanied by a mint chutney and tamarind chutney. The tamarind chutney had a great balance of sweet and tangy, dipping the chicken pakora elevated it since the batter on the pakoras had no detected spices. The masala fries were also the same case. The entree - palak (saag) paneer and butter chicken were great choices. I can handle some level of heat but erred on the safe side with going for mild for the spice level. As I ate the entrees, the inherent heat from the spices built up over time which I enjoyed. The mango rasmalai was not bad and made me more curious about the ice cream dessert option. Atmosphere/service: The inside felt sophisticated and fancy with accents of dark wood. There is booth seating for groups of 6 (maybe 8) people and plenty of seats for 2-4 people as well. There is a bar present and a drinks menu as well. There are two washrooms, each in their own separated rooms with a sink and hand dryers.

appetizer basket

I came here with my good friend (hi David!!) for some delicious Indian food to fix our cravings and they definitely delivered. We got the dinner for two which came out with so much food. We had an appetizer basket which had two pieces of samosas, and two kinds of pakora that I unfortuntely don't know specifically what they were called - but they were delicious and crispy! It came with two sauces which complimented them quite well. This combo comes with 2 curries: 1) chicken korma which was made of slow cooked white meat chicken fresh cashew and almond paste in DOUBLE CREAM. This was so flavourful and the sauce was very much thick. It was so good but the double cream really did hit us after. 2) paneer makhani (I originally ordered the palak (saag) paneer) but they brought out the wrong one which is okay) - The paneer makhani included the paneer/cottage cheese in their homemade makhani sauce with a dash of cream and roasted fenugreek. I enjoyed the amount of veggies in it but I did hope to try the saag paneer. 3) chana masala (on the house) - the chickpeas were harder than my preference and the sauce was more watery than other places I've had it but I'm glad to have tried this version. We got medium spicy for all of the dishes and it was pretty good - maybe I'll challenge myself to the spicy spicy next time. Butter Chicken Factory also has the LARGEST naan I have EVER seen - bigger than my head. It tasted super fresh in its slight oiliness and warmth. I loved their naan so much. Their portions are also excellent. I was able to take a portion home because there were lots of left overs. Service was quite excellent and the whole restaurant was pretty clean. Loved the ambience. Would love to return specifically to try their palak paneer next time.

Chicken dum biryani

Food is North Indian. Flavors are bold. Ambiance is casual. Prices are decent. Service was average. I would recommend this place and will definitely visit again.

Mango lassi

We had an exceptional experience here at the butter chicken factory. Everything from service, the ambiance and food. The patio outside is perfect to enjoy in the summer under the patio lights. It is a quieter street so we did not really really traffic. Butter Chicken - so delicious, I found it to be perfect amount of sweetness and savoury. Paired with a naan I will definitely be coming back here for my butter chicken cravings. Lamb biryani: wow the amount of meat in this dish was shocking. It was flavoured so well, each bite was delicious. Paired with the yogurt (raita). I don't usually get Mango Lassi but this was also a hit. The service was efficient. She was very attentive and checked on us every so often. Overall, 10/10

The garlic naan was amazing
Nikki Y.

*UPDATE* New bad recipe and new staff It took them an hour to get 1 dish out... It tastes nothing like it used to. Now the butter chicken is just tomato sauce and the naan is thick no longer fluffy or airy Please don't come here

Onion bhajis
Koji S.

Came here with four friends and ordered a starter of onion bhajis, the mixed grill platter, and two curries: butter chicken (because of course!) and lamb jalfrezi. Reader, I paid $21 (after tip) and was so full I didn't need to eat for the following 22 hours. I can quibble with some aspects of the food - particularly the grill platter, which was a bit drier and less savory than I was expecting - but it was ultimately great food at a price we cannot really find elsewhere in Toronto nowadays. Decor was stylish; no complaints about the service. Will become a go-to recommendation for Indian food in Toronto!

Mango lassi
Tiffany O.

I came here in spring and sat on the cute patio. The service was good and there was a lot of seating. However, I felt the food was a bit of a disappointment. None of it was bad but I had higher expectations based on word of mouth. The dishes I ordered didn't wow me because because it was lacking in flavour. The garlic naan was great though. The butter chicken was quite acidic for my liking and didn't have that smoky flavour. This was the biggest let down considering the name of the restaurant. I am willing to come here again because I've read that there's been some recipe changes. Not sure when or if it happened! Or maybe it was the day I went when things just didn't work out. My partner thought the food was okay as well. He seemed to enjoy it more than I.

Only bitter chicken is tasty. Other curries and appetizers are not that great. Good cocktails. A bit costly and not that tasty.

We were told we would have to wait 5-10 minutes for the window seat we requested. After well over 20 minutes I went to get an update on the table, she ended up saying it was ready only to not get seated at a window table that we specifically asked and were willing to wait the 5-10 extra minutes for. So we waited that extra time just to not get the table we wanted. Not to mention the washroom was disgusting with diarrhea and vomit in the only open stall as the other one was out of service. The restaurant also doesn't really feel family-friendly. It's clearly geared toward couples and young adults, with more of a date night or night out atmosphere than a place you'd want to bring the family. Just something to keep in mind if you are wanting to bring your family.

Either the menu is a mediocre version of the actual menu, and/or the service is dismissive once they learn you're there for the 'licious set. Black + Blue had a $65 dinner menu which is pretty good for the options available. The portions were generous but the service was where things really stood out. We were treated so incredibly well by all the staff. Dawn was our server and she was so lovely! We really felt taken care of. I've never had a restaurant server look at the type of pant I was wearing and change my table napkin to a black one to match my dark pants. Nor do I remember a restaurant heating up the mug a cappuccino comes in to ensure it stays nice and warm. As for food, we were allowed to have some partake in Summerlicious and some not. I had the Summerlicious menu and picked the Wagyu Tartare, Surf and Turf, and Buttercake. Great portions, delicious food. My favourite was the Buttercake. We also had happy hour drinks, oysters, a prime rib, and caesar salad. If I were to recommend something, get the $78 prime rib which is 14 oz, perfectly seasoned, and comes with glazed carrots and the most amazing mashed potatoes I've ever had.

Located on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, the restaurant has an incredible atmosphere. The dining room is absolutely stunning with a classy and luxurious feel, but it still feels comfortable and inviting rather than too formal. We started the evening with cocktails before moving into the Summerlicious menu. I ordered the "I Only Drink When I Smoke," which was a great way to start the night. It had a subtle smoky flavour with a touch of sweetness, and the alcohol was not overpowering at all. It was smooth, easy to sip on, and the perfect drink to enjoy while having conversations. For my Summerlicious menu, I started with the Tartare de Boeuf and Caviar. The filet mignon tartare was fresh and really smooth, with a nice balance of rich and savoury flavours. The toasted bread also gave it a nice crunch and paired really well with the tartare. For the main course, I had the Roasted Chateaubriand Filet. When the plate was served, the meat looked really rare as I saw nothing but red on the meat, but it was incredibly tender, making it easy to cut through. It was full of flavour, and the sauce complemented the steak without being too heavy or salty. The vegetables added a nice balance to the dish, and the creamy mashed potatoes were smooth, and definitely one of my favourite parts of the meal. To finish, I had the Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake. It was creamy without feeling too heavy. Though the fruity flavours from the mango passionfruit were a bit tart and sweet for my palate, it still gave an overall refreshing touch. The crust added a nice texture, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service and pacing of the evening. Each course arrived at the right time, allowing us to enjoy every dish without feeling rushed. The price point is definitely on the higher end, so it is not somewhere I would personally visit for a casual dinner on a regular basis. However, for a special occasion, celebration, or a night where you want to enjoy a beautiful dining experience, I think Louix Louis would be a great choice... and for $75/ person for Summerlicious/ Winterlicious, definitely a great value to sample the chefs' artistry. Overall, it was a memorable evening with an elegant atmosphere, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and great service. I can definitely understand why this spot has become such a popular destination, and I would love to come back again for Winterlicious!

Wagyu beef burger cooked perfectly, it's a large portion for a petite girl like me, 9oz, fries is on salty side. Both desserts are good, not too sweet or filling. It's definitely on the pricy end for a lunch, good to come here for celebrations, not an everyday thing.
