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.

Johnny Custared has veritie of sweet and fast food. Today…read morewe tried 3 types of sweet; white chocolate macadamia cookies, toffee pudding with ice cream and strawberry & banana crep. 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.

We tried samosas( must must try), masala dosa, filter coffee and rasam. The prices were reasonable and I highly recommend this place. Coming back again *__*

Super irritated by the level of care here…read more I made reservations for 5pm when they open for 4 people and noted we were coming for my dad's birthday. As soon as we were seated and hadn't even poured our water the server came over and asked us if we were ready to order (5:03pm). We went through the menu and were ready to order. My mom went first, followed by me, my brother and then my father. Our food came out in that order - except my dad's. At 5:30pm the server came around and reminded us of the dining limit and I frankly pointed out that my father who's birthday it is hasn't gotten his food and we were told it was because it was burnt and being remade 10 mins ago... His food comes at 5:35pm and someone else comes around at 5:40pm reminding us that we are approaching the dining limit. Needless to say, the service was absolutely horrible - no apology for the late food just hurry up eat and get out. Never returning to this restaurant.

Came here for lunch on a weekday…read more There is a lunch special that is very well priced. $12.50 for a protein of choice, with rice and a pop. The chili chicken had a lot of flavour, and was nice and crispy. We also had a chicken pakora that was amazing. The chicken was so juicy and flavourful, and the outside was so nice and crispy too.

Ordered the following: Chilli chicken (dry): tasted pretty good and makes sense it's the most popular item that is also the namesake dish. Butter chicken : good sauce. Delicious. A bit sweet.

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.

They also have a full bar, offering beer, wine and creative cocktails. We ordered some of their specialties: "MALAI METHI MURGH", "OLD DELHI BUTTER CHICKEN", "PUNJABI MUTTON", "LAMB ROGANJOSH", "TAMARIND CHICKEN PLATTER" and paired them with "PANEER KULCHA" and "KEEMA NAAN". Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. We enjoyed every bite. If you're not used to spicy food, choose "mild" for heat level as it still has a bit of a kick to it. The staff are friendly and helpful. There's a parking lot beside the restaurant with first 2 hours of parking being free of charge.

(1/5) I rarely leave…read morenegative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish, especially for a restaurant that positions itself as a premium dining destination. We arrived around 9:15 PM with our two young children (ages 2 and 6). What nobody informed us was that around 10 PM the restaurant transforms into a nightclub/disco, with music becoming so loud that it was genuinely uncomfortable and potentially harmful for a toddler's ears. Had someone simply mentioned this while seating us, we would have happily chosen another time or another place. That lack of communication alone was extremely disappointing. The décor is beautiful and the restaurant looks stunning. Unfortunately, that's where most of the positives end. Food Review: * Lotus Stem Kebab - Terrible. It was basically a regular kebab with a piece of lotus stem in the middle. Very uninspiring. 1/10 * Cream of Chicken Soup - Excellent. The kids absolutely loved it. 9/10 * Shroom Indulgence - Average. Just seasoned mushroom caps; nothing memorable. 5/10 * Palak Bocconcini - Easily one of the worst dishes I've had. It tasted like canned spinach and lacked freshness, flavour, and texture. 0/10 * Shahi Laal Maas - Served cold. The meat was tough, rubbery, and difficult to eat. It honestly felt like it had been sitting before being served. 1/10 * Missi Roti - Very good. * Green Chilli Laccha Paratha - Very good. * Roomali Roti - Excellent. * The Big Fat L.I.T Indian Wedding - Extremely watered down. I've had many Long Island Iced Teas, and this was among the weakest. 2/10 * The Paan Panther - Again, watered down and disappointing. 2/10 * Celestial Citrus - The best drink we ordered. Really enjoyable. * On the Cloud (Mango Lassi) - Nice presentation, but the lassi itself was slightly sour and below average. * Fresh Berry Tres Leches - Delicious and probably the highlight of the meal. The service was inconsistent. The staff who took our order were warm, polite, and welcoming. However, the staff delivering food were the complete opposite. When we politely asked if the music volume could be reduced because of our children, the response was shocking. One staff member told us, "We're all over Instagram. This is how it is. Didn't you know?" Since we could barely hear anything, we had to ask her to repeat herself multiple times. She then said something along the lines of, "That's the point--we don't want anyone to hear." The dismissive attitude, facial expressions, and arrogance were completely unnecessary and left a very poor impression. A restaurant can have great décor, but hospitality is what brings guests back. My ratings: * Food: 1/10 * Service: 3/10 * Ambience (before the nightclub music): 8/10 * Ambience (after 10 PM): 2/10 * Family-friendliness: 0/10 If you're planning to visit with young children, be aware that after 10 PM the atmosphere changes completely into a high-volume party venue. That may be enjoyable for some guests, but families deserve to be informed beforehand so they can make an informed decision. Unfortunately, what should have been a pleasant family dinner turned into one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had. We won't be returning, and I cannot recommend it based on our experience.
