Visited Daal Roti for the first time in search of a place to satisfy our cravings. We're glad to have stumbled upon this place because not only was the food delicious, the service was great as well. We ordered Butter Naan (5/5), Moong Dal Halw (4/5) and Dhaba Goat (4/5). Butter Naan was had a great texture to it. It had the perfect crisp and chewiness with every bite. It goes well with the Dhaba Goat which is their traditional style curry. It was packed with flavours with a hint of spiciness. It could've been spicier but that was our personal preference. The Moong Dal Halw was delicious. They gave a big portion of it which is good for sharing. I like the nuttiness of this dessert and the texture. It was warm which was comforting, and the first few bites weren't overly sweet which I appreciated. The bottom bites, however, were sweeter than those on the top layer. I guess the syrup trickled down and pooled at the bottom. Overall, the experience was lovely. The server checked in on us a few times and was very attentive. He was polite and friendly. We'd love to come back and try out their other dishes. read more

I have had Indian food all over the world, England, Australia, America, NZ and Canada. This is at the top with the best of them. It is a little on the spicy side, but i like it that way. Service is top notch and food never disappoints. Their Goat curry & chicken tikka masala are out of this world. My wife loves the butter chicken. I have taken friends here who said they disliked curry and afterwards were big fans. Words like "I didn't know it could taste this good" are often heard. people who do not like Indian food usually fall in the "I don't know what to order category" and end up ordering wrong. read more

I went here for dinner with friends, it's a very busy outlet as the food is amazing. We ordered PapaRd Chaat and Chicken Mix Grill as our appetisers, which are served along with mint chutney. Totally loved it! For my main course I tried chicken vindaloo and Latha parantha and I was highly satisfied with quantity, quality and taste of the food offered to me. Cost- 25-30 per head Taste 5 Service - 4/5 (Exoext them to be a bit slow as the restaurant is very busy at all times) read more

1 star for Yelp, 1 star for the service. And that's really all there is to say for this place The kadai paneer came without any vegetables which is strange as people usually get it because they want some veggies in their food The cheese butter masala came without the cheese or the butter. It was basically tomato sauce topped with cheddar cheese. It was like a margarita pizza gone terribly wrong All in all, never stepping foot here again. Too many good options literally anywhere nearby to consider this as an option for Indian food. read more

Our family (2 adults and 2 kids) enjoys eating Indian food and wanted to try a new place. We ordered Palek paneer, butter chicken, bhindi, and chicken biryani, and garlic naan. The food was beyond our expectations. It was very flavorful, tender and tasty. The service was great with regular check-ins by the waiter, but not too many visits that it was bothersome. The setting was great, with music that was not too loud. The prices were very reasonable compared to other Indian restaurants. We will back again. read more

Daal Roti - Amazing food - Indian Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Daal roti on Saturday ? Let's try it . This place is not seen from the main road on hurontario road since it's located on the rear side. The restaurant as such looked old on the inside. Ambience was OK. We ordered for chicken grill mix and chicken biriyani. The chicken grill mix was very good in taste . The mix had 4 different chicken varieties . The achari and the Hariyali were the best. The chicken Biriyani on the other hand was nothing but just A DISASTER !!! The taste and the texture was very pathetic. Am sure the chef did not have good experience making a Biriyani. The place was deserted when I visited and hence I can't really comment on the staff on this review. The pricing however was a little on the higher side . Can be a dollar or two lesser. In short , not all dishes at this outlet may taste good. May be worth a try. read more

Food was great and excellent portion/sizing for take out. The tadka was real thin which I'm not used to but it did have good flavour. Palak paneer very spicy wasn't expecting it but again really good flavour I just added yogurt to cool down. Garlic naan fab. Would order from here again read more

Good food but horrible service! They are SO slow and forgetful I'll start with the food and move onto service Food: Apps: ordered the vegetarian manchurian (crispy) and the tomato soup both tasted great the manchurian was bit salty Meal: Garlic Naan - definitely a must; The chili naan - no one at the table was a fan, panner tikka masala and the kaju masala both were great! Side of onions Service: They brought out one appetizer and forgot to bring out the other! Forgot to bring our onions and ended up bringing the second appetizer just a few minutes before out meal. All of this took forever and no one came to check on us after our meal was given. It's standard for a waiter to come see if everything's good if the customer needs anything else- this did not happen. Our waters were not refilled and we had to ask for our bill a few times before receiving it. While the food was great I'm not sure I would want to put up with the service again. read more

We went here on a friend's recommendation for the amazing "Daal" and it lived up to every single word of praise. We started off with the appetizer of "Sev Puri" which was totally amazing. The spice, the lime and the crunchiness of the sev and the puri were great. For the main, we went for their signature Daal Tadka and Achaari Baigan along with some Rotis. Daal Tadka truly lived up to the reputation. The smokey flavor provided that extra bit of heat to the Daal along with all the spices. Absolutely loved it. Achaari Baigan was also amazing. The similar smokey flavor was found in Achaari Baigan too but due to different ingredients and a few different mixes of spices, it didn't really become a repetition. The ambiance of the place is good. Very family friendly and have a decent seating capacity. The staff was nice in general although we had a bit of incident at the beginning as we entered the restaurant and for a couple of minutes none of the staff members came to attend us and get us seated - contrary to common practice. Later on, we were told that it would have been fine for us to come and just grab the seat - something not expected in this type of restaurant. Overall, it's a great place to have a meal with family. Definitely, the place to go if you are a Daal-lover!! read more

Dont go for cheese butter masala. They dont use good cheese. It is not like ahmedabad or baroda like how they market. It's just a gravy with some shredded cheese on top. All food was cold. Masala papad did not have enough masala. Worst experience. Too bad that Yelp did not allow ne to give zero stars. read more

No, not going there any more. We went for Dinner but left the place just after having some snacks . Food -- no star , Ambience - zero, Service -- Only Star to the server , she did her best. read more

Disgusting food! Ordered a Malai Chicken which they served with cheddar cheese, lettuce and some chutney. The chicken was old and stale. If you know Indian cooking you'd know the picture I attached IS NOT Malai Chicken. The roti was pre frozen garbage. Had to throw out the whole order. My advice - avoid this place completely. Their quality has gone downhill. read more

I was visiting my brother in Toronto for the first time. My brother took me there and it was pleasant experience. Food was good and presentation was beautiful. Everything arrived on time and in the order requested. Good authentic north indian food. The quality of service was good too. I loved their tandoori panner, masala kofta, masala naan and cheese naan. Good place to dine in mississauga read more

9 minutes agoNEW I have been going to this place for more than 3 years now and whenever I wanted to eat Indian food outside, i would drive 30 kms one way just to eat their food. But lately from 2-3 times their food quality has dropped so much that its not worth having their food. They have lowered their quality drastically and increased their prices. I didnt mind the price hike last 3 times i went there, expecting their quality will get better but i think its not gonna happen. Chicken is so hard and gravy is so masaledaar, felt like they are heating their curries again and again. Definitely, i am not going back and dont recommend anyone. Save your money. I wish I can get my last refund. Poor quality. read more

I came here for lunch take out. Great price for the food you get - $7 for naan, a meat curry, a veggie curry, and naan. And it comes in a nice takeout box (I never thought that would really matter, but it does). Secondly, the food. The naan was soft and warm, perfect texture and level of moisture. The rice was aromatic, the daal was great too. The butter chicken had great flavours and the meat was juicy, albeit I would have preferred to see a little more meat to sauce ratio. I'd come back here again for sure. read more

I ordered Vada pav and it was the best. Great taste and no compromise in quality. Good portion as well.

This is the last time I will be giving my business to Daal Roti. It is probably the only place I have come across where a take out order takes 1 hour to get ready. After placing my order I took my chance after 30 mins to go to the restaurant and luckily I met Payal (restaurant owner) who was handling take out orders that evening. She said my order is almost ready which is why I decided to wait. After 25 mins of waiting my order finally arrived, which was incomplete. I told her I have guests waiting at home and I need to leave. She pleaded me to wait for 5 more mins as she would have it ready. There were 3 dishes of the same type. So to be productive within those 5 mins, I carry the rest of the food to my car and back and the building's main doors were locked as it was nearing 10 pm. I was frantically calling the restaurant to unlock the door for me but the calls were unanswered and were going to voice mail. Finally Payal answers my call and lets me in and hands over the remaining food to me with an apology. I said apology won't do, you should not be charging me for these dishes. She gives her usual 10% discount. I mean seriously. They could have charged me for 1-2 dishes out of the 3 which I know other restaurants would have. The place is always busy which is good for their business but it gets chaotic as the staff do not know how to handle a busy environment. The staff at Daal roti get very overwhelmed in a large crowd which makes everything look very disorganized and unprofessional. read more

Menu - 5 star Taste - 5 star Wait time - 2 star Service - 4 star Prices - 5 star They are amazing. The menu is very extensive, prices are very reasonable, service is friendly and efficient considering how busy they are and the taste of food is very good and very authentic. My only gripe is the long wait time to get a table. We have waited for 30-40 mins even after reservation. We'll never go there without a reservation as it's very busy and they are swamped by the takeout orders too. Make a reservation. Plan some extra time for wait and go enjoy the delicious food. You'll love it. read more

Went with my son today for lunch Daal Roti. As they advertising on their window is almost $12 for lunch. Total bill for one adult and kid it should be $27.12 including tax because they doesn't have kid price. But the total bill from what they charge is $31.62 it seem not $12 /person or they automatic charge for tips? Is tips mandatory? read more

The food and price point are great but I still wouldn't return. The service is horribly unfriendly, and inconsistent. The employees look miserable and on that level of misery through their service standards. Moreover, it's not very clean or tidy -- the buffet area looks like a tornado ran through it but it doesn't seem to bother the staff. read more

Let me start out by saying that I generally don't go out to eat punjabi food anymore. I find that all thr restaurants use the same form of gravy for all their curries, with maybe a few variations to the colours. So I wasnt initially expecting much from this place. But I was pleasantly surprised with the food. We placed a catering order for the hara-bhara kebabs, paneer tikka, veg reshmi, naan, daal fry, salad and fruit custard. Although we were given a different nanna from the kne we tasted at the restaurant the curries were just as delicious as the ones in the restaurant. Overall the food was very close to what I believe authentic Indian food should taste like. For around 40 people there was quite a bit of food leftover, but everyone loved it so much that they decided to parcel it home. read more

Food - 7.5/10 Prices - 9/10 Service - 3/10 Went with my dad on Friday night, they seated us immediately albeit at a crappy table with crappy chairs. We ordered: - Hariyali Chicken Tikka for appetizer - Daal Tarka - Madras Chicken Curry - Some plaine rice - 3 rotis The hariyali chicken came out after about 20 minutes, the rest of the food came out another 40 minutes after the hariyali chicken. 3 tables of 4 people or more came in after us and got their food a good 15 minutes before us. I asked the waiter if I had ordered something that takes a really long time and why was it that the rest of the tables were getting their food left and right and we weren't. He came up with a feeble excuse, he said that the hariyali chicken tikka takes a long time but the rest of the food we ordered is very quick. So I didn't push it any further because clearly he was making an excuse for a screw up in the kitchen. If it was the hariyali chicken that takes so long, why did it take 40 minutes for the food which in his words is quick? Hey waiter, learn to take responsibility for your kitchen's cockups, and send the manager over when a customer has been screwed. So, in summary, if you want above average food and good prices, with lots of choices, but with poor service in that "here eat this and shutup" line of typical desi restaurants, with noisy screaming children, no sense of order, no ambiance, then this place is for you and there is legitimately a market for this type of experience, it's just not for me. When I go to eat dinner, I expect to be treated with respect and dignity and I expect my food to come out in a timely fashion, otherwise I'd rather cook at home. Would not recommend this for dine in. Take out, probably. read more

Reached there when they were just about to open. Not the first ones there though, so you can imagine how much popular this restaurant is for lunch buffet. They have wide range of both veg and non-veg options. From chat to desserts everything was delicious. Just one complain, the name of the dishes is written on the glass with a marker making it barely visible to read. Can get really confusing for people with dietary restrictions. Someone I know got confused with their dish tags and ate goat spinach curry thinking it to be Paneer spinach curry. Hopefully they will fix that soon. read more

I live close by and wanted to check out this place hence dropped in. We were a table of eight and was promptly seated. The appetizers we ordered came in soon without any delay but the portion sizes were comparatively small for the price point. Chilli paneer, Bombay Bhel were really good. But chilli potatoes was really bad with potatoes tasting like just boiled potatoes with no spiciness in it. The food taste was good in the main course too but I felt portion sizes were on the small side in this too. Service was good. Overall I would say give it a try. read more

Absolutely delicious...the best Indian food in our entire life... very tasty.. soooooooo good

A sumptuous buffet for $12? Mouth watering items both veg and non-veg.. go and find out u won't regret. ..

I went to the new location. While the place may be bigger, the attitude of the owner has not changed much. I don't know what it would take for this lady to smile. When I am out at a restaurant to eat, I am there not just for the food but also for the ambiance and customer service. I think it is too much to as for from these people. Restaurant business is customer facing and the owner does not have a customer centric attitude or personality. She is very cold and seems like has a chip on her shoulder. We have catered from this place in the past and we tip really well. A smile is the least you can ask for. As one of the yelpers mentioned, it may be a family business but it is still a business. As far as the food is concerned, I have noticed that most of the curries taste the same! And I am not exaggerating. We had one veg and non veg curry. Both tasted the same! They have a ton of dishes but if everything tastes the same, there is no point in having so many. I may go here for take out once in a while. But I will not dine in. I do not recommend this place. read more

Daal Roti is definitely a different sort of Indian restaurant compared to any other Indian restaurant in Toronto (in my opinion). As advertised, their food does have a very Mumbai taste to it. If you have been living in Toronto for a while, you'll agree with me when I say that no matter which Indian restaurant you go to in Toronto, the Malai Kofta, Shahi Paneer, Paneer Tikka and Palak Paneer are basically identical at all the major Indian restaurants. Not at this place though. The chef is the owner and he's created his own recipes for the different dishes they offer. My family goes there once every two weeks and have been a regular there ever since they discovered the restaurant. The cleanliness at the new spot is great. The staff is reasonably courteous. The food is delicous. For the Gujarati people looking for the "Indian" taste of the curries, this is the place to go. Location: 7/10 Food: 9/10 Value: 8/10 (My parents end up spending $50-55 between three people and plenty of food) Service: 7/10 read more

We were here yesterday evening and had a good time. We've also been to the old location too a couple of years ago. In comparison, their newer location has more space, more lighting and better seating arrangements. Our visit last night was a good one. We had ordered: Mix Veg platter (comes with 3 pieces each of corn tikki, hara bhara kebab, paneer tikka and spring rolls). Paneer kalameeri, kofta masala, daal tadka, jeera rice, masala naan, chili cheese naan and onion kulcha. The daal tadka wasn't as good as the other two curries. The curries were very well seasoned and tasted great. The masala naan was definitely way more spicy than expected (and I love spicy food!)...wish the server had warned us. But all in all, we loved the food, the curries were seasoned very well and I love that the dishes had distinct flavours. Paan kulfi for dessert...nearly broke the spoon trying to bite into this. Tasted good, not bad. Incredibly small quantity though for the price. In fact, as others have pointed out, for most of the items the quantity is a bit on the low end for the price charged. Here's a breakdown of our experience: Ambience: 4/5 music was a bit too loud Service: 3/5 some of the staff do need proper training on serving the food, plates and checking for water. Food: 5/5 can't complain! Price: $ Overall: 4/5 and I would recommend for a family visit, they have lots of options on their menu and food doesn't taste like every other restaurant's. Tip: We had an 8 pm reservation for a Friday night and were surprised to see no crowds at all. Although, it might've been an exception because I am aware of their long wait times, so always better to call in advance to book a table. read more

Toronto is full of Indians, don't see this many Indian back home in Cali. So may be that's why this place was so busy but, however; their service was really shitty like no joke. If you know your place gets really busy with no time than you should prolly hire more people to serve your customers the best. Food was good & tasty but the service was really bad. I get it you guys are busy so I didn't complain at the moment. I waited & waited for my food to come. Later I ran out of water & asked for water, waiter took the jar and never came back. I had to ask her again. Nah bro I won't come back to this place! read more

The place is super crowded and the waiting time were super long... We decided to wait since we heard amazing reviews about this place and we were super disappointed. We waited for an hour or so to get the table... The food was not that extraordinary... Giving it 3 stars because the dessert was good. While we were waiting we decided to have some drinks till then and we ordered Mango Lassi which tasted nothing like Lassi and it tasted more like melted Shrikhand or diluted shrikhand to be precise... and in that wait period we saw bunch of customers getting mad because of the wait time and mainly because they had to wait for a very long time even after placing order for simple things like a daal... We tried cheese butter masala, kaju masala and veg makhanwala... Kaju Masala was good... Cheese butter masala barely had any cheese and was just gravy... veg makhanvala was made with the frozen vegetable mix of carrots, green peas and beans... nothing extraordinary or special... We also tried paan kulfi and raajbhog and they were amazing... read more

Good ambience,great food and awesome desserts (Rajbogh),if you are in a drinking mood, highly recommend the Indian whiskey -Amrut

This was my third visit to this restaurant. This time they messed up the order between vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. I do understand that mistake happen but the way the whole situation was handled was very unprofessional and disappointing.

Food is usually alright but the service never fails to disappoint ! Always they find a way to blow up my blood pressure. Today I chose to do a pickup and was told I could pickup in 30 mins.
