    The food is good keeping in mind this is a buffet place. Their lunch buffet is quite cheap even the dinner is not expensive. The full menu includes but is not limited to...Pakistani, Indian, Hakkah Chinese cuisines. It was quite impressive the design area included a Salad Bar, Vegetarian dishes area, Non Vegetarian dishes area, Fried area, dessert area. Some unusual tasty stuff included were Masala Dosas, golgappa/Panipuri, gulab jamun. The place is nicely decorated and quiet big, so space wont be a problem. Parking is free. Overall, Good Place many choices and easy on the pocket. For my Muslim peeps! They "don't" serve halal meat.

    Much better than Shahi Mahal which was the previous restaurant in this building. Better selection and good service. For $10 lunch and $12 dinner, definitely a great place to eat in.

    Good options for vegetarians. They serve hot dosa in buffet and plenty of non vegetarian including goat, chicken and fish. Barring the fried fish, the starters arent great but this buffet is still a great deal for the price. They have a DIY chat section with panipuri etc. The butter chicken, sweet and sour fish, chicken tikka are wonderful. Cant say the same about their goat curries. They have 6 flavours of ice cream - they dont replenish mango, my favorite. The gulab jamuns and carrot halwa are to die for. The ambience is nice with comfortable chairs and nice lighting. It is a great choice for families. The waiters are courteous. Even though they had a 1.5 hour limit the waitresses did not rush us and let us take our time. Overall, I enjoyed my Indian dining experience. The one star deduction was for the poor quality of starters. Will come back many times over if they keep the quality consistent.

    For the first time in long while I found an Indian Buffet worth a review. I saw the reviews on Yelp so I decided to give the place a try. For a ten buck lunch buffet it was pretty impressive. Salad bar. Ice cream, Indian desserts and four hot tables loaded with delicious Indian cuisine. Wide selection from chicken Kebobs to deep fried Indian fish. Did I mention ten buck?! Great for veggers and meteors. We got there right at 12 and it was great. No line ups but most importantly, fresh food. Naan made to order. Must tries are the Goat Curry, chicken Kebobs and fried fish. I hope this just isn't a grand opening thing and they keep this spread going all year round. Comfy modern decor sets it all together nicely. Go check this place out and tell me what you think. I give it a big three stars. I will be back for consistency checks and hopefully the same quality of good delicious chow!

Service was attentive in the dining rooms and friendly by the hostess station. Lunch had enough items to be happy with, but it seemed like they altered the BBQ/Grill station to breakfast foods, like bacon and fried eggs and had a few empty slots where I remember had items previously. Highs: -Black peppered beef cubes very very tender and flavourful - fried noodles on point - tofu pudding dessert had a gingered sugar syrup to drizzle on top Lows: -peking duck seemed more hard instead of crispy skin - fried egg Left the restaurant very stuffed, kids were happy.

Price is $55.99 per adult and for senior (65+), there's 20% off the adult price listed. The buffet price is a bit expensive but reasonable in comparison to other buffets. There is a variety of food to choose from including seafood, meats, noodles and veggie dishes to choose from. There's a Peking Duck section and a "noodle bar" as well. My favourite was the sashimi section and it was regularly refilled whenever I went to get more food. Personally, the highlights of the buffet is the seafood and the herbal soup. They even have lamb skewers in the hot food section! Overall, a good dining experience and service was adequate. The servers came around to pick up plates and check in regularly. Received our drinks in a timely manner. No major complaints except restaurant was a bit dark where we were sat so it'd be nice to have a bit more lighting.

    This is my FAVORITE restaurant to visit whenever I'm in Canada!…read more One of my uncles took me to Dragon Legend for the 1st time a few years ago and it has been on my must visit list every time I'm in Canada. It has a nice variety of dishes and my favorite thing to get is the Peking Duck (very glad that this is available for lunch and dinner). The restaurant is spacious - lots of seating available for small and large groups. The recent addition of claw machines is a nice touch for kids and adults who would like to try their hands at catching some stuffed animals and prizes. It was a highlight for both of my sons when we took them here last year. My most recent visit was this past week when I was in Canada for a work trip and got to spend a few days with family in the Markham area before going to downtown Toronto for work conference. Highly recommend checking out Dragon Legend if you are looking for a good buffet with a nice range of delicious foods.

Upon entering the restaurant I was greeted to a very clean and modern ambience that reminded me kind of like some of the big buffets in Las Vegas. Very cool setup where they have 3 self serve fountain drinks which is included in your buffet price. In the middle they have a grilling area where they are grilling Basa fish, salmon, chicken, sirloin steak. The steak was amazing they put this butter, garlic garnish on top that makes it so delicious. I had 8 of these steaks this evening! They also had a stir fry, soup noodle where you can choose your own ingredients, different vegetables and protein and carbs for them to either turn into a stir fry or soup noodle.

Noodles: lo mein, rice noodles, udon, pasta. Vegetables (not all listed): bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, mushrooms, green pepper, onions, spinach, hot peppers, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, bean sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and more. Then there are about 14 sauces to choose from. You can go with one or mix. And, there are 20 spices to select from. Choose what you want. Pass to the chefs and they cook it up. There are thousands of possible combinations. It can get busy and you may have to wait 8-10 minutes for your food to taken and cooked. I don't care for their technique for cooking. Because they have divided the grill into 12 zones, they don't really "stir fry" you food. The flavors don't really mix well together. They need to toss the food a bit more so the flavors and spices mix. There is a little salad bar with lettuce, cucumbers, potato salad. macaroni salad pickled beets and a few more items. The night went they had a chicken noodle soup and minestrone soup. It's out of the way for me, but if I were passing by sometime in the future, I would return.

We had preordered everything but our drinks. We mostly all got cocktails and they came out with relative quick timing. The servers were attentive and listened to our requests for how we wanted our steaks or prime rib cooked. The sides were pretty good and included sautéed carrot purée and we also started with a small salad and fresh bread and butter. We had plenty of butter to share. Only complaint was the salad dressing was a little too light on the salad. Could have used more. Overall we had a really nice experience here. You can't beat the view of the falls and the revolving floor. Side note: It's a bit inconvenient to use the restroom here as the elevators take a while.

In addition, we opted to upgrade our desserts to other desserts available on the menu. The view was phenomenal! I am scared of heights but it wasn't terrible, the elevator ride was tough but you're able to face the other way. With dinner we also were able to go up to observation deck, since it was early March it was absolutely freezing and windy due to weather on the other side of the falls. In the warmer months I'm sure it would be phenomenal to take a walk around the outside to look. There is the option to stay indoors as it's enclosed in glass when you first get off the elevator, there's also a gift shop at the top. I'd highly recommend this restaurant for a fun experience paired with a phenomenal dinner. The pictures do not do the flavors justice.

When we had first arrived, we were told that it would be a two-hour wait, and that we would need to have a pager with us at all times that would be used to notify us once a table was ready. We weren't able to get a pager immediately as they were all being used therefore, we had to wait at least fifteen minutes before we were able to get one. Once we had that pager in hand, we waited about one hour for our table, which was actually not as long as we had expected. Upon entering the restaurant via an escalator from the first floor, we were pleased to see how picturesque it was. With the large windows showcasing the horse racing at the time, along with the tables that boasted their own private television screens, we were impressed with how wonderful and inviting everything looked. Upon being seated, we were given programs on the betting available for the evening's races, which was detailed with everything we needed to know. We also noticed that there was a middle-aged woman coming around, asking us if we were interested in placing bets during our dining experience. The diners went wild during the races, which created an exciting, yet sometimes, loud atmosphere. In terms of the dining, I was pleasantly surprised with how many options were available. Since it was only $12.95 (with a Winners Circle Card), I was blown away at how much food was placed within the buffet area, with an area dedicated to bread with a variety of spreads, another area with salads and other cold appetizers (such as artichokes, cold cuts, cheese, etc.), a hot table (with such items as lasagna, pizza, chicken, fish, and more), along with a dessert section, which boasted a wide variety of desserts, and a few dishes of fruit. All of the items were well-prepared, and everything tasted fantastic, with each item at the hot table coming onto my plate hot (temperature-wise), which is rare to find in a buffet. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at this buffet, and would highly-recommend it to anyone who wants delicious food, at a low price. The only thing that I didn't like was the waiting period, and how slow it was, considering that many guests usually sit there the entire evening, watching the races and eating for hours on end. Although this is definitely the idea of the trackside buffet, it could have been the reason why we were so delayed in getting to our table. Nevertheless, it was worth the wait, and will definitely be going again!
