    Stumbled upon this restaurant as I was looking for vegetarian restaurants and thought the food was…read morepretty good! I tried their soy chicken drum sticks, kim chi, dumplings, siu mai, and radish cake. My absolute favourite and would recommend is the radish cake!! It is so good. The kim chi was off-putting and was drenched in whatever sauce. The dumplings are also really good as well. I like the layout and aesthetics of the restaurant. One thing to note also was that the employees just seemed miserable. I understand we came an hour before closing but they just seemed miserable and sort of ticked off that we were coming an hour before closing.

    Ok, so I rarely write reviews. I find them a bit of a waste of time, and I'm firmly against writing…read moreone if you dislike the restaurant. Hence why we're here. Well, at first I was a bit on the fence about ordering cause of the vegetarian/vegan menu, I like my meat, love meat, got to have my protein dammit! But wow! was I ever surprised and happy about following my gut and choosing to go there. You see, I'm from Vancouver, and if you know a bit about my hometown is that you know we have a very large asian population. Heck, I'd even go as far as saying it's my second language, (my first language is English and my parents are Chilean...never spoken a word of it) but I've been around it so much somehow, I feel I could get by given the chance. So, by examining the pictures from the online menu, I thought to myself; If the food is anything remotely like the pictures, it looks exactly like my fav spot in Vancouver - Congee Noodle King- also a must try if you're in east Vancouver. Just trust my absent Asian ancestry ok?! I ordered the N65. Fried Noodles with Steamed and Stir-Fried Bean Curd, and as a request asked them to make it spicy to which they happily and kindly obliged. This dish was packed with flavour. Oh em gee! Loaded with fresh crunchy veggies, the noodles were spot on: thin, velvety and a lot of them. Makes for some healthy slurps! Oh, did I mention the meat? No, I didn't, because it didn't have any, and I have never not missed something so much. The crispy fried bean curds tasted like deep fried spare ribs. My pupils dilated a bit. And that's ok cause I went into a food coma, got to heaven and wrote a review about the very first Asian restaurant I try in Toronto and I'm already planning to go back. If you give this place less than 5 stars you don't know food, Asian food or how to speak it so go on and chew on some meat! Thank you for the wonderful and friendly service as well. I shall return. How do you say that in Mandarin? Cheers! - Patricio

    This was a unique experience as I didn't quite know what to expect. I was in the area and Veggie…read moreParadise came up as one of the non-fast food/chain alternatives and I was feeling adventurous, so... Veggie Paradise specialises in Veg take-out (call ahead), Frozen/Dried meals and ingredients. I write "Veg" 'cause it may be even Vegan, as opposed to just Vegetarian. They also do custom vegan/vegetarian cakes/pastries. This place is run by 2 sisters and their workers. As soon as Sandra heard that I wanted something to eat, she prepped me with an Asian meal - as opposed to their other meals that are more popular amongst gwai-lo. Meal comprised of a soup (looked like Tom Yum, but not sweet/spicy), a separate plate with Rice, Bok Choy (chopped with garlic), & a portion of fermented Mustard Greens with Green Peas (this was medium spicy). The meal was tasty, yet rather homey as it wasn't overly salted. I really felt like I was eating at an aunt's house! This place is located in a rather industrial, catering to Vegans/Vegetarians (or people who just enjoy the occasional veg meal), so just call ahead if you want to order something! The sisters will even offer you a sample if it's available. :)

    I love this place I will always support, I am so happy I have found this place!!! I recommend…read morerecommend all the way!!!!! The food is amazing finally there is a vegan vegetarian place to purchase delicious food and can prepare at home

    The food was so delicious and the rooftop area dining is really nice. The appetizers are very good…read moreportions and filling! We were able to share the different dishes with family style. The butter chicken was very flavorful and that was my favorite dish. The honey fried cauliflower was really nice with the cauliflower bits. The garlic naan was crispy and warm. Gol gappe was super fun and I liked all the different sauces. Aloo tikki chat was really flavorful with all the species and I liked the acidic twist to it. The staff were really friendly and accommodating during the meal. We're definitely happy we stopped by for dinner.

    The service began well. Our appetizers came out quickly. The owner (?) told me to tell him when we…read morewere ready for our mains to. Then he disappeared for an hour. Another server came to replace our appetizer plates for dinner plates but seemed confused on how to do this (what?). We had to help her clear the table so she could put the plates out. Then we waited for half an hour, with no sign of food my husband went to the kitchen to find a server. Finally someone came to our table and asked us what we would like to order. We said we ordered over an hour ago. At this point the restaurant was packed. It appeared that they didn't have enough people working to have the restaurant run smoothly. 35 minutes later our mains began to trickle out. Our original server/ owner came out and said "Sorrry it's so so busy but I told you to tell me when you were ready for your mains." It was pretty sleazy because it was obvious he had set this up to be my fault. I told him "You disappeared for an hour how could I ask you?" He continued to apologize and then walk away. I didn't realize this place was in nightclub mode from 6pm. Loud music blaring from televisions which is fine, a million type of lights, a live flute player walking through the restaurant while the background music blared through the tvs. If you get overstimulated easily, this place is a nightmare for that. Some food was good, some wasn't. I don't remember because it was 6 weeks ago. I loved the seating area, we were in a booth. I don't recommend, would never go here ever again. It has so much potential but the poor service, untrained staff and little respect for their customers was the worst restaurant experience I've had in a really long time. They ruined my graduation dinner. Clearly the people who work there are Befikr and keep their diners in Fikrmand mode.

    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.

The portion cann be share, however; I recommend toffee pudding with ice cream. Due to the weekend , the service was slow. I would like to thank Sheily who was so friendly and acted professionally when we did not like the cardamom chai as it has milk and did meet our expectations . 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.

    Food 2/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbiance 3/5 Food: Hubby & I both ordered the Mado Beef burger without cheese. It comes with fries & a salad. Originally I was going to order the Steak & Frites but found out that all their steaks are marinated in milk. Due to my allergies I couldn't have that. When the burger arrived hubby's burger was dripping with grease when he took a bite. My burger was dry but I didn't like the seasonings they put into the burger. Our fries were fine. Hubby didn't like his burger either. We didn't finish our burgers, which is unusual for us. For dessert we had the red velvet cake which was delicious. Service: We had a very friendly young lady who was our waitress. Unfortunately her service was absentminded at best. I had told her my allergy to dairy & immediately after wards she asked again: you have an allergy? I wonder if she wasn't listening to me or couldn't hear me. When we went to order dessert I asked if they had the chocolate lava cake. She said no. Then I asked if they had the red velvet cake. She said no. But hubby could see the display case behind me & saw red velvet cake there. He mentioned that to our server. She said: Where is my mind, oh yes we have red velvet cake. Both hubby & I were not impressed with the service. Ambiance: The decor is in blues, whites, and green pastel colours with medium wood tones. It looks okay. Not the prettiest place but also not a junky looking place. There is an outside entrance that leads to the parking lot. Some people came into the restaurant from that direction. Most of the people eating at the restaurant seemed to be muslim. I saw ladies in hijabs. Actually when we first came into the restaurant & were shown to a table some guys sitting nearby had their shoes off. That is a bit gross in my opionon. Overall I would say that I wouldn't come back here. I wasn't impressed with the service or the food. I can't eat any of the steaks also. We were only in Square One for a store that isn't anywhere else near us. If we go back to Square One I would try a different restaurant.

    Beautiful place with delicious, home-style food. I ordered…read morethe Adana kebab and it was absolutely delicious--felt just like a comforting homemade meal. When we arrived, the restaurant was fairly quiet, but it quickly got busy. We placed our order and received our food in good time, but after that, the service disappeared. There were only two servers trying to handle the entire restaurant, and unfortunately, that meant a long wait for our bill and Turkish coffee. I also noticed another table having an issue with their dessert order. The food is worth trying, but they definitely need more staff to keep up with the service demand. But yes I would go back again.
