Alright, I've been convinced! This stop is great! It's been two years since my initial discovery…read morehaving moved to the neighbourhood, and it's joined my regular rotation and we've never felt like we had to find a different place for Indian food nearby. The office team loved it, we love it, and they're still going strong which I'm so happy about. Hiding between McDonald's and a small indoor shopping area containing No Frills, lots of people pass Maja by and ignore their faded photos and outdated décor. Don't be fooled! Locals know and will come in for takeout all the time and in normal times, with offices working and dine-in options, their line at lunchtime can be out the door! The thali combos are still the go-to for best bang-for-buck, one flat price gives you salad, rice, dhal or chickpeas, choice of two items from their servery-style options (meat or veggie) and the highlight - a big, soft, fluffy naan. Even during these difficult times their menu still offers tons of options and I have not been disappointed! Service goes as quick as they can but do be patient - your naan is in the oven and made fresh for you! The portion has not skimped over the years or now - your box will be full and smaller appetites will find this is two meal's worth of food. Takeout unfortunately is in styrofoam boxes - the cheapest option and without a doubt keeps the food warm, but with potential for a bit of leakage if you're not careful. It's ideal given that they get the kind of boxes with partitions to separate your curries and rice before you're ready to eat, which is a nice touch. Dine-in is on classic metal cafeteria-style platters - super simple but effective. The great thing I've noticed is that the portions are the same no matter dine-in or take-out! Sometimes we find take-out is a smaller portion because restaurants are compensating for the packaging cost - but not here! Unfortunately, all cutlery is disposable - but for now I guess that's the safest for everyone.

It was empty so a bit worried but we went ahead and ordered paneer over rice and vindaloo chicken roti. We sat down and waited for our food which took some time but = that they cooked to order. Portion size was massive, had to take both dishes home because we couldn't finish. My wife liked her dish, had the perfect spice level. My vindaloo chicken was amazing...it was steaming temperature hot but also super spicy. I could not stop eating it. A little potato heavy and not tons of chicken but the cloves and spices that I bit into added punches of flavour. Amazing place, next time we will just order other dishes and see if they are as good.

We also got the dal tadka because we love lentils and it did not disappoint! Our favour dish was the lamb curry. It had so much flavour, the lamb was very tender, and it was the spiciest of all three dishes. We'll definitely be ordering that lamb curry again!

When I arrived, the place was super quiet since it was quite late already. I wasn't sure about how the food would be. But the food did not disappoint! We went for butter chicken, daal mahkni and the palak paneer. We got an order of Biryani rice and three garlic naan. The portions were huge and the food was super tasty.

They have since redecorated the place to a more modern look and expanded their menu a little but don't be mistaken - they'te still a hole-in-the-wall takeout place and their food still has maintained that hole-in-the-wall (in an amazing delicious way) flavor. This is one of my son's favorite supplier of Gulab Jamun, hubby loves hunter beef and chicken boti and I LOVE their Karahi Chicken. I'd say this place stood the test of time for our family. A definite must try!

Since today is my first visit, I would have to give this made-to-order place 4 stars for now but based on what I tried today, I see myself considering this place for 5 stars in the near future because we are definitely coming back! We purchased: - beef samosas (a little on the small side but very tasty and crunchy!! The filling didn't come spicy but the hot sauce and chutney can be added to suit your taste and not kill your non-spicy eating friends) - beef biryani - you can customize the spice level; we asked for medium spice and it's got a good kick. The beef was tender and flavorful - chicken curry - I loved the flavour of this curry! I had it with garlic naan (ordered separately) and it was PERFECT! It had a good kick to it and the curry was chunky just as I like it to wipe up with the naan and there were decent chunks of chicken - garlic naan - the smell of garlic made us drool when I opened the foil in the car to take a peek. The naan was pillowy, soft, and garlicky. Can't go wrong! - Keema Naan - minced meat inside a naan. This is my first exposure to keema naan so I don't know what to expect but we liked it. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be completely filled like a patty (it wasn't) or if the inside should simply just brushed with minced meat but either way, it disappeared very quickly; so much so that we couldn't take a picture before it was gobbled - kalojam - Bangladeshi version of a gulab jamun but a darker eye-shaped version. For those not familiar with indian desserts, the only way I can describe it is like an old fashioned timbit soaked in syrup except doesn't taste overly sweet at all. If you've never tried it, I say it's definitely worth a try. Can be bought individually or by pound All in all, we were definitely impressed and will be going back to try the rest of the menu and pick up more of everything above. A delightful hidden take out/catering place in Scarborough!
