    We were craving Indian food and thought we'd give this place a try…read more We only took out so can't comment on the service/ambiance. The food arrived super hot and fresh and everything looked delicious. The naan was large and fluffy and the rice was nice and fragrant. Portion sizes were also not bad, although the meat pieces in the chicken dishes were quite sparse for the price. The food was a disappointment, unfortunately. It was SO salty. Like almost inedibly so. All three dishes, the butter chicken, chicken labadar and the palak paneer were so so salty, and I am typically a fan of salty food. Even food others find salty I can enjoy but this was too much. I'm not sure if it was the chef on duty that night or if it was a mistake but we were disappointed. The flavours seemed good other than the salt but we were reaching for water constantly. With the influx of Indian restaurants in Newmarket, I hope this was an off day but I will likely be trying other restaurants in the future. Our bill was around $80 for three dishes, rice and naan so we fill that it was not worth it both for value and quality.

    We used to see this Indian restaurant opened, so we went for dinner. There was no one inside other…read morethan the server. She welcomed us and we asked if we could sit in a booth, she said , you have yo pay extra charge, which blew my mind . We had never heard that before . That put us off but we sat down ordered the food . We ordered chilli chicken, it was good but there was no sauce absolutely dry and very small serving . Hardly sufficient for one person . The shahi paneer was good and we ordered plain rice and plain fresh nan . It's a clean place but these restrictions of sitting should not be applied. It puts customers off . The menu is super long too much to choose from , it's kind of confusing .

Butter chicken pasta & butter chicken on rice were both good. Both had quite a bit of meat. The pasta was a bit soft & the chicken was cut smaller. The rice had more gravy & there was some onion in the rice, which was very moist.

    There are a good variety of Indian & Mediterranean cuisine options to order: butter chicken, veggie…read morecurry, falafel, kabob, shawarma, etc. Daily specials are also available at really good prices. My group sampled the chicken biriyani (Friday special), veggie bowl, and Philly steak. The Philly steak is not showing on the menu but is on the rotating videos played on the TV display. The food were all good. My friend's comment on the veggie bowl was that it was a little dry. The Philly steak I had was not hot anymore by the time I came to eat it after ordering. The washroom is spacious but could have been better maintained. It was not flushed when I came in and there is also no tissue paper. What sat well with me was the very good service from the gentleman and lady who took our orders. The guy was very helpful during order placement and also even gave us samples to try first. He took small portions of the butter chicken, achari chicken, and other dishes for us to sample. One of my companions also placed an order for salad or coleslaw. The lady at the counter also presented an option to mix different kinds of salads in an order. It was an overall pleasant meal time. I like the range of food offerings. The high quality service is also very much appreciated.

    I was in Aurora today, New Year's Eve, and was about to hit Dollarama. I needed to grab some…read moretakeout for dinner. Where should I go? I did a search on Uber Eats and discovered that Plates & Bowls has a third location. It was on the other side of this plaza. Cool! I am a regular at the Whitchurch-Stouffville location. I might as well give this location a try. The other eatery is in Newmarket. Uber Eats had a BOGO offer on black bowls. I love the butter chicken bowl, so I got that one. The estimated time for my pickup was twenty minutes. It was enough time for me to hit Dollarama, as I love browsing and shopping at this store. Once I was done shopping, I drove over to Plates & Bowls. Parking does get busy on this side of the plaza, as you have the Keg and other eateries that share the same parking spots. I lucked out and found a spot fairly close to the eatery. I backed into it and walked in. The interior looks similar to the Whitchurch-Stouffville location. The pickup counter is fairly close to the door. A nice woman said hi and asked if I was picking up an Uber Eats order. I was and said my name. She had the order right on the counter. She handed over the plastic bag with my food. I thanked her, wished her a happy 2023, and left happily with my food. I got home and had one of the butter chicken bowls. Normally, the butter chicken comes with basmati rice, which is always awesome. This place kicked it up a notch and used the more fragrant rice that typically comes with achari chicken. It worked nicely. The butter chicken recipe is consistent. The sauce is awesome and the chicken morsels are white meat. This place isn't as generous with the butter chicken as its original location. It was nevertheless yummy. I will devour the other one tomorrow, to ring in 2023. I'd return here for more good eats when I'm in Aurora in the new year. (502)
