Overall, a solid 4-star experience at Goan Indian Farm Kitchen. The Chicken Tikka was hands down the star of the meal--10/10! The chicken was perfectly tender and juicy, with a beautiful char from the grill. The marinade was full of spices that were perfectly balanced, and the smoky flavor was absolutely delightful. My only suggestion would be to serve a bit more mint chutney alongside, as the coolness and freshness of the chutney paired beautifully with the spice of the chicken. The Spicy Beef Kebab was decent, but I have to give it a 7/10. While the texture was great, and the kebab was tender, it could've benefited from a stronger, more distinct flavor profile. The spices were a bit too overwhelming, and the beef lacked the depth I was hoping for. A bit more seasoning and complexity would've elevated it. The Palak Paneer was solid, but not perfect--8.5/10. The spinach sauce was creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of spices, but I found that there wasn't enough paneer in the dish. It felt like there was a great base, but the lack of enough paneer left me wanting more of that rich, cheesy bite that makes this dish so satisfying. Still, the sauce itself was excellent. The Makhan Chicken with Mushrooms was good but somewhat underwhelming--7/10. The chicken itself was cooked well, but the flavor of the sauce didn't quite have the depth or richness I expected. The mushrooms added some nice earthiness, but overall, I was hoping for a more complex, flavorful dish. It was fine, but it didn't stand out compared to the other items. As for dessert, the Bebinca was warm and moist, but it lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for--6.5/10. The texture was perfect--soft and almost cake-like--but the sweetness and coconut flavor didn't quite pop the way it should. I feel like the Gulabjamun Rose Cheesecake might have been a better pick, as the Bebinca didn't quite hit the mark. But the true highlight of the meal was the Mango Lassi Cheesecake - 10/10. It was absolutely divine! It tasted exactly like a mango lassi, but in cheesecake form. The mango flavor was fresh and vibrant, while the creamy texture was smooth and indulgent. Every bite was a perfect balance of sweetness and tang, and we wouldn't change a thing about it. It was the ultimate dessert to end the meal. While the food was mostly excellent (especially the Chicken Tikka and Mango Lassi Cheesecake), the service was a bit of a letdown. The greeter rolled their eyes when we asked for a table away from the entrance, despite there being plenty of empty tables at lunchtime. That initial encounter made us feel a little unwelcome, though the staff did check on us afterward, and we still left a tip. The interior decor was beautiful, though--definitely added to the overall experience. Overall, despite the service hiccup, the food (particularly the Chicken Tikka and Mango Lassi Cheesecake) was fantastic, and we would definitely return for the food! read more

The food was disappointing here. Went for summerlicious and we tried the cauliflower and chicken tikka appetizers, chicken and also the fish curry mains, and had the cheesecake dessert. The appetizers were decent and a good size. The mains were not flavourful and probably the most disappointing part of the meal. The cheesecake was ok. I have had mixed experiences with summerlicious and this one was on the low side. The ambience is not bad and the service is ok. Having said that, I don't think I will be going back. read more

Totally based on Winterlicious 2025. We drove based on the fact that it is owned by Hemant Bhagwani and we had very high expectations. The Ambiance and service was excellent no complaints. Interior was aesthetic and romantic. But the food was below our expectations and pretty average. We ordered for starters Chicken 65 and avocado chaat papdi, but were 5/5 , but none of these are Goan or Konkani dishes also avocado papdi chat is just papdi chat with additional avocados. So you need to get more cuisine based dishes. Still they both were outstanding. For ur mains we had Goan Lamb Xacutti which is a Goan dish but really 2/5, other we ordered was lababdar paneer which was the only vegetarian option it was like 1/5- undercooked gravy, tasted pretty store bought and nothing close to what a labbabdar gravy is. Naan were dry . For desserts we went with mango lassi cheesecake ( 3/5) and gulab jamun rose cheesecake 1/5 - very dry and tasteless, the gulabjamun tasted like refine oil. For our drinks we ordered Mango Shandy ( mocktail) 3/5 read more

Long review alert! We went here to try out their Summerlicious price fixe at $35 and wasn't too disappointed with the food and taste but the service was BAD. Food we tried: Prawn Balchao Chicken tikka kafreal Goan Shrimp Curry (came with rice, naan and I chose a side of chana masala) Lamb Xacutti (came with rice, naan and we chose a side of dal makhani) Mango lassi cheesecake Bebinca / cinnamon ice cream The food I won't lie was really flavorful and hit the right mark, but what was disappointing is that the owner/manager specifically asked guests beside us if the food was good or if they needed anything and not for once did he come up to ask us the same. Will be looking for alternatives to this place only because of their service. read more

Tasty Indian food at a slightly overpriced price. They offer 15% discount if you do takeout which makes the prices better. Ex. Lamb vindaloo original $21.95 with discount is $18.66 The page says they offer free delivery but that is not available, called Jan 10 and confirmed. You can only do paid delivery via ubereats. I got 3 curries and biryani - $19.95 Butter chicken (classic and delicious, not spicy) - $21.95 lamb vindaloo (very spicy, has lamb and potato) - $21.95 sindhi methi gosht (delicious ) - $21.95 biryani (lamb, with bones) - $4 garlic naan (3 pieces) They were all really good, tasty and soft. Well flavoured. The vindaloo was very spicy, beware if you don't like things to spicy. The portion size is about 6-8 pieces of meat per curry dish. Very pricey considering the price point. Nevertheless it's very tasty and great for the occasional meal. read more

Came here for dinner on a weekday. They serve Goan cuisine, which is more of a tropical style of Indian food and known for its fish curry. The place had clearly put some efforts into its interior design, very classic Indian style with photos of Goa showcasing on the wall. Ordered the fish curry, basmati and garlic naan. They didn't use the most popular kingfish for the curry, but still tasted pretty authentic. Service was amazing. The two folks were super polite and friendly. We asked for one piece of napkin and they handed us with a pile on a decent little metal plate. If you'd like to try some west coast Indian food, especially Goan, this is a recommended place.

Goa Indian Farm Kitchen - Fish Curry, Basmati and Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I have to be honest - I never, EVER choose Indian. I usually find Indian food too heavy and my lactose, spice, and general intolerance to life finds it hard to stomach the food. Except that all changed when I arrived in my stretchy disco pants on a cold winter night. It may have been the elasticity of my pants or maybe it was magic, but Goa Kitchen blew me away. We tried the dinner tasting menu which consisted of 3-4 dishes over 3 courses at $50 per person. It was our annual holiday dinner and we were splurging, except in hindsight it was quite a deal for the experience, service, and amount of food. Bonus points for their chicken and meat options being halal. I have to tell you that there was nothing on this menu that didn't delight my tastebuds. However, a girl always does pick favourites. Their butter chicken, lamp chops, cafreal chicken, eggplant, and cauliflower were phenomenal. Dessert was interesting and the opinion was quite divided, but I have to say I like the bread pudding best. I am not keen on very sweet desserts, which is why I think others preferred the gulab jaman and kulfi. All in all, I don't know if we got lucky or the chef took pity on our starved souls, but he/she was sending out all the top picks. Also, I cannot forget about our server who was extremely attentive and took down all our allergies/dietary restrictions. He was good to swap out things we couldn't have and returned with some delicious options instead. Truly a gem! Even though my friend had to drag me here and I followed petulantly, I truly was not expecting much. Not only am I going to be coming back possibly more often than the stretch in my pants allow, but I will also be naming my first born to the beautiful human that introduced me to this place. read more

We were there for lunch and everything was delicious! A minor change in the presentation of one of the dishes posed a challenge for my gluten sensitivity. When I asked about it they quickly and very graciously replaced the dish. Highly, highly recommend this warm, delightful restaurant and their friendly, knowledgeable staff. read more

Came here with a friend for a birthday lunch. The waiter told us that the food from the appetizer section can technically be a consider as a main. The food under the appetizers are less saucy, whilst the food under mains are generally more saucy. We shared the wagyu beef kebab, chicken xacutti and chilli paneer naan. My friend and I have low heat/spice tolerance. As a result we asked if the naan can have less chili and they kindly accommodated. The kebabs were actually quite good, they were well spiced and not dry. The chicken xacutti reminds me of chicken korma. The curry was smooth, not overly creamy and had a well balance of flavour. I enjoyed it so much that I ate quite a few spoonful on it's own, without the naan. The naan wasn't oily like most indian restaurants. It was soft and slightly chewy. I wish they didn't crumble the paneer so finely, it would have been nice to have a bit more texture to it read more

Been here twice now so I've had an opportunity to try a lot of the dishes on the menu. My last visit we ordered the butter chicken and the lamb shank biryani. The butter chicken is one of the better ones I have had...the creaminess nestled in with all the spices makes it perfect for scooping up all the lovely sauce with the butter naan. And speaking of the naan...that tear away, buttery, slightly crispy goodness is just begging to be eaten. The lamb shank biryani had the tender lamb literally just fall off the bone...and the rice..perfectly seasoned. Sometimes, I find biryani is made "wet" if that makes any sense. I like mine more on the drier side, and this was perfect for me. On my first visit, we tried the Branzino (so delicious, this fall apart in your mouth fish), the biryani, the butter chicken, the lamb chops, the chicken xacutti, the beef rib samosas and the vindaloo. The beef rib samosas were probably my least fave...i guess i just prefer my old fashion samosa. The vindaloo - oh my - you could slice through the meat so easily, it was just wonderful. One of my faves from this particular night. The decor is lovely, and it is a smaller restaurant located inside Bayview mall (not a standalone restaurant outside the mall) Highly recommend that you make reservations as it appears to be always busy. read more

This review of Goa Kitchen is based on my lunch experience. Sometimes dining out is really about an experience, especially in one of the restaurants inside Bayview Village Shopping Centre. Goa Kitchen does delivers. The decor is plush, fancy and welcoming. Love the darker bold colour themes. The huge mirrors, the chandeliers really set the mood. Attentive service is top notch. Water glasses never empty. Plates cleared out as soon as they were empty. Staff making sure you have everything you need and more. But we are here for the food after all. Lunch main course which includes naan or rice starting at $18. They also have prix for $29. Price is reasonable for the location and ambience. Is this "real" Indian food? I would say more a fusion. The use of spices definitely been toned down and the dish less oily compared to other Indian restaurant. Does it make the food less tasty? Halal Goat Roast ($18) with naan was tender and moist. I love how it was served bone in. The masla based stew was flavourable with a little kick. I did request extra spicy but nothing their house made hot sauce could not fix. I have never been to Goa and next time maybe I can try one of their Goa seafood dish. Yes that would be another visit in the future. read more

Tried takeout from here during covid and was really impressed with the food. We ordered garlic naan and basmati rice to eat with butter chicken, black dal, and kung pao cauliflower. Everything tasted really delicious and the rice was fragrant. Their cauliflower and garlic naan were definitely my favorite. The dal paired up very well with the rice and naan. The butter chicken was just okay and could have been spicier. I don't get Indian food very often but this might change. Price was also fair- we spent about $50 for 3 people and had leftovers. Wish they had a location downtown! read more

Excellent. If you want to have some authentic Goan food, which by far is the best cuisine in all of India and the world, then this is the place to be. From the lamb biryani to the Goan beer !!! Heaven on Earth to your pallet read more

- Wait staff was great, always attentive and helpful. Quick to address any questions or concerns. Very much appreciated. - We were a party of 10 and our order came out correct and at the same time so none of us were left waiting. - Flavours were great but not authentic - thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Cafreal and would highly recommend this appetizer. Though this place is considered upscale, I didn't find that the price justifiable. As much as I enjoyed the flavours, this would not be considered authentic Goan. The chicken was quite tough to chew in my Chicken Xacuti. Again I really liked the flavour but the chicken was a little offputting. It's a nice place but I wouldn't come back. Mostly because I'm quite far from the place and because I don't feel that the price is justifiable. read more

Maybe my expectations were so high, but I don't think Goa lived up to them. It was pretty good, though for a pretty pricey place, I was expecting more. My wife and I ordered a bunch of stuff to share: - Butter Naan: Flat, but not overly so. Buttery, a bit too much. - Short Rib Samosas: Pretty interesting appetizer. I actually liked the contrasting sweet-ish sauce with the kick of the samosas themselves. The shirt rib was also very tender. - Wagy Beef Kebab: The beef was tender, though the flavouring was just ok. The most interesting part for me was the sorpotal sauce, which kinda gave a unique taste to the dish. - Goan Seafood Curry: I was so excited to try this dish because it had the Goan promise plus I love seafood. Was left disappointed since there wasn't as much seafood as I would've wanted for $26. That said, the curry sauce was good - not overly spicy but still very flavourful. (Think I'm sensing a theme with Goa and its sauces.) - Mango Kulfi: Strong mango flavour, which is a big plus. The chefs at Goa obviously know how to cook since most of the stuff is executed very well. Also, the sauces across all the dishes we had were also amazing. I guess it was the base star of each dish (seafood, beef) that, while good, I was left wanting for more. And therefore that makes Goa a try-once for me. read more

Goa Kitchen is located inside Bayview Village mall near the Oliver and Bonacini western entrance at the south side of the mall. OK so it's very infrequent that I have Indian cuisine but to be honest I think this place may have just opened up my palette to a lot of great new flavors. While the name is Goa Kitchen it would sort of imply the Goa region which is the south western area on the Arabian sea where the climate is tropical, the beaches are turquoise and the culture has a Portuguese influence. The food, well there are a few dishes that may reflect that influence. The first actual thing on the menu, cashews peri peri are a snack dish of crunchy, spiced nuts for sharing. While there are beef dishes, one of the appetizers we ended up trying was the beef short rib samosas which were not your every day samosa. They were split to have the tender meat for show, exposed in the familiar pastry with a nice burst of flavor. The Sriracha chilli cauliflower reminded me of a vegan "Korean fried chicken". It was tasty and had a kick. For mains we really went all out. There was a party of 6 so we went to town on this: Butter Chicken Porcini - a nice orange, mildly sweet makhana sauce. Even though butter chicken is a well known dish I really like what they've done with it with the mushrooms. Chicken Xacuti - this is another orange dish (a bit darker than the butter chicken) but completely different with the much added spicy kick at the end. There's a tang with the coconut and lemon flavor but the chilli flavor while spicy doesn't overwhelm keeping the flavor perhaps hot (for my wife for sure) but not strong in the heat but robust in the flavor. Beef Short Ribs Vindaloo - this was the dish I had ordered. The description as follows: Vindaloo glazed, celeriac puree, oven dried tomators, cippolini onions. So with the vegetable sauce comes the most tender large chunks of tender beef that can possibly be had. These pieces of meat were firm yet could be cut with a spoon, the spoon used for serving with the smooth sauce that goes with it and the tender meat was absolutely divine. I loved this dish all out. Branzino Ambotik - this is a sea bass in an Ambotik (I had to look it up) is a tangy and hot combo. I only had a small piece of this but it was very good. Some of the other dishes I didn't end up trying were the lamb Biryani and the lamb chops. I wasn't in the mood for lamb really as I had a lot of it last week. The sides I had ordered were the coconut rice and the garlic naan with chili flakes. I have to say this meal is exemplified when you have more dishes to share and try because everything while stands firmly by itself is better when each dish supplements each other in flavor and with different heat levels, spiciness and textures. As far as the service went our server knew the menu quite well and was even able to make some recommendations that he thought we would enjoy. I liked the fact that we had a nice variety of dishes to sample from each other in a group our size and while the group of us agreed to sort of go family style, this is not necessarily the default serving style. The fact that the accompaniments are separate (rice, naan) sort of encouraged us that we didn't have our "own" plates and that the dishes were definitely generous and large enough to sample and share. This was an absolutely amazing meal. read more

This was a somewhat planned visit this spot. Having made the reservations before hand with puzzling seating options (outdoor and indoor while the entire seating is inside the mall!) Our party showed up on time and were seated promptly. All of us decided to go with the 3 course chef menu (you get to pick two small plates of which one has to be vegetarian) and one main with the exception of the crab curry per person. They didn't have blanche de chambley that day and the draft I tried wasn't to my liking so stuck with a generic pilsner. One of us ordered a virgin drink and enjoyed it. Here is a play by play Potato app hmm more of a filler item imo with the pomegranate seeds adding a surprise element. vegetable samosa decent for what it is spiced well Eggplant. I enjoy my eggplant now so preferred it over the other vegetarian options. Calamari. Spiced well and packs a decent kick. Good for sharing. Shrimp. Smaller serving again spiced well though very similar to calamari in terms of the spice mix. Beef kebab. Things are turned up a notch here as the sauce packed a wallop of flavor and heat. Good way to balance the beef fat. Definitely worth trying if you like your heat. Dry mutton. Cooked well here as it was nice and tender and bite sized pieces. One of the better mutton dishes which is usually not done well at restaurants. Beef rib. Falling apart and sauce was worth mopping up with naan. I enjoy my beef rib so liked it a lot. Fish curry. I was looking forward to this dish as goan cuisine is known for seafood that's spiced well. Hmm decent but a bit of a let down after the higher standards set for other mains. The nan was decent with the rice being ok. This place is worth a visit if these flavors appeal to you. 4 stars and I am eyeing the crab curry for my next visit. read more

My boyfriend and I came on a random Thursday weekday lunch around 1 and it was pretty packed! I take it as a pretty good sign. It is classicly decorated with chandeliers hanging on the ceiling, has a clean upscale feel, which is quite different from most Indian restaurants. We ordered the Goan seafood Goan, butter chicken porcini, roasted eggplant and chilli garlic Naan. The mains comes with a rice or Naan, we opted for rice with an extra side of garlic Naan. Everything was delicious. I would highly recommend all of them. Everything very flavourful. The scallop and shrimp in the seafood Goan were huge! Roasted garlic was spiced perfectly. Butter chicken was nice and moist. The only thing I wasn't used to was that the butter chicken was sliced chicken inside of in chunks that I am used to. Regardless, we really enjoyed everything and I would definitely return to try other dishes. Service was good. I did have to ask for water once. And the bill came in a pretty jewelry looking box. Overall: Food 5/5 Decor 5/5 Service 4/5 Value 3/5 read more

This was my first visit ever at GOA and i was surprised by their extremely slow service..we had to wait for our appetizers for more than 30 mins, even though we ordered from their summerlicious menu(food that should be prepared and ready for visitors already). The quality of food was average and in terms of spiciness it was definitely not too spicy to eat and mild. The one good thing about this restaurant is the setting and aesthetic decor that it has along with friendly hostesses. I would not recommend anyone goes out of their way to visit the restaurant tho. Price:23$(3 course lunch menu) read more

Our group of three took advantage of Goa's special - three course dinner for $35. You get to choose appetizer, a main and a dessert. I opted for the octopus appetizer, the butter chicken and the rasmalai pistachio dessert. The octopus appetizer was good. Cooked nicely and tasted spicy with a hint of ginger. The butter chicken (which also game with Garlic Naan and Herbed Basmati Rice) was delicious. It was cooked with white meat and had a buttery flavoury sauce. It wasn't spicy at all which was good, because you got to taste the other spices that accompanied the dish. The naan and the rice were both delicious as well. You can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients, which is different than your typical Indian restaurant. The dessert was yummy and had floral, pistachio taste, with a doughy piece of bread. It's hard to explain this dessert but if you like floral pistachio, this dessert is for you. Overall, I would go again as the food, and the look and feel of this restaurant is gorgeous. I love how minimal the restaurant is, but still able to portray an elegant, modern look. (the tables are hexagons!) read more

Went for summerlicious in a group of 4. A little odd to be inside a mall but the décor of the restaurant Is nice enough to make one overlook. On the flip side, for the average mall-goer it becomes a more elevated dining option. Cocktails are fun with a little bit of indian flair and has fun mocktail options too. For starters the group had the cauliflower, grilled chicken and beef kebabs. The cauliflower and chicken emerged as clear winners. I had the chicken porcini. It was good but couldn't really detect the fresh coconut? Maybe it was merged with the sauce. Good and comforting. Two friends had the 'shrimp curry with okra' which oddly came with 1 piece of okra and a few shrimp pieces. Dessert: tied between mango lassi mousse and vanilla kulfi. Perhaps the mousse had a slightly greater novelty angle. Service was average. Oddly one of the servers was very excited about being our server at the beginning of the night "if you need ANYthing just let me know" and proceeded to never turn up at our table the rest of the night. read more

Summary: Upscale Indian food at upscale costs. Will leave full and happy. Located inside Bayview village, this restaurant serves up fine dining Indian cuisine. I'm generally all about the food but I have to say the decor and design of this restaurant really makes you forget that you're actually in a mall. Great job on whoever designed this location. We came as a party of 11 and shared a bunch of dishes. The Bhel has so many ingredients that worked well together. There was a mixture of textures and flavors that was so tasty! Jackfruit and mushroom dish was unique and delicious. Has a nice tangy taste to it. Eggplant was a favorite. It seems to be a sweeter, tomato based sauce with perfectly cooked eggplant (none of that mushy mess you get sometimes). The lamb vindaloo has a nice heat to it - it's not super spicy compared to other vindaloos but we didn't mind. Lamb is cooked perfect. The salli boti was great - had delicious lamb and less spicy than the vindaloo. Chicken biryani and lamb biryani were hits as well. Meats were cooked well while still being moist. The almonds on top of the rice added a nice crunch. Chicken xacutti was like chicken coconut curry - interesting but not my favorite. The butter chicken was really good - order this if you like butter chicken. Most dishes are very saucy so definitely get a side order of rice or naan. Desserts were pretty good. We had one that was like a coconut donut pastry with ice cream, one that looked like sticks but was popcicles and one that was like a custard pie. Favorite was the coconut donut pastry and ice cream. Price is about $20 per large main dish - none of them include rice or naan (about 4-6$). read more

Lunch is a great time to gather a group for a visit: their lunch combination ($23.95) offers a choice of appetizer and main. Just be mindful of their advice - our waiter noted the starters are not shareable and are made for one person. In reality, the appetizer sizes are substantial and even the short rib samosa arrives as large as a baseball cut into two. So, listen to your gut and get a bunch of appetizers to share. For us, we made the mistake of taking the waiter's advice and ordering two portions of the saffron eggplant. Sure, they're tasty, like shoestring fries made from eggplant, but since the vegetable soaks up oil, they start to feel heavy after half a dozen. I would have much rather alternated between the eggplant and the rawa pakoras as well. The sriracha chilli cauliflower is exactly as it sounds: bit sized florets deep fried and tossed in a spicy sweet sauce. While there's nothing inherently wrong with the dish, it's also not terribly exciting and lacks any Indian flavours. Luckily, I got my fill of exotic spices from the Goan seafood curry main (additional $4.98), a combination of jumbo prawns, scallop, tiliapia, and mussel cooked to perfection. For those who prefer milder curries, this sauce is ideal with the coconut base enhanced by just a tiny bit of chili, adding flavour without massive amounts of heat. In fact, the sweet onion, tomato, and coconut milk tastes are what really comes through. Unlike their appetizers, the main dish portions are better suited for one person. Combos arrive with basmati rice dressed up with onion frizzles, chick peas, and a bit of wild rice for colour and texture. While this was more than enough food - we had leftovers - we had to add butter naan ($4), a hot airy soft bread glistening with butter. Too bad we had to remind them about it after we were already halfway through our meals. read more

This is my first visit to Goa Kitchen. First impressions: beautiful chandeliers, marble floors, large mirrors trapped in beautiful woodwork. The service is impeccable. The restaurant is clean, and smells of the fragrant spices and sauces that are cooking in the kitchen are welcoming. The sound system is fantastic and very well balanced, and the thought that has gone into creating this environment is impressive. Today I had the Goan seafood curry. Goan Indian food is by far one of my favourites of all Indian foods. Having been spoiled with a friend who was a top notch Goan chef has left me with happy but discerning tastebuds. The seafood curry is a combination of scallop (1), a couple of small pieces of cod, and shrimps (3) inside a wealth thought out makhni type sauce with the additional of Kefir lime leaves and ginger. It was also served with a quinoa, lentil, and onion cold salad. The meal was very good. The servings are a little smaller than other restaurants that I have been to for the price, but the quality of the whole experience and the the focus on the smaller details made this a very unexpected experience. I must eat a gluten free diet. Most food is gluten free, but avoid the pakoras. They have been labeled as gluten free, but they contain Semolina. Semolina is a wheat product often used to make pasta that contains gluten. The pakoras are a mix of semolina and chickpea flour. If you are looking to go to a restaurant that is a little more upscale and the experience is the deciding factor, this is a great place to check out. I will be back to try some of the other dishes. This is unbelievable for a restaurant that has been open for 10 days. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars, but was accidentally exposed to gluten in the pakoras. I did not know that when I ate here, and found out subsequently why I got sick. They are adjusting their menu to deal with this issue. read more

One of the more impressive restaurants at Bayview village. It was a really nice atmosphere given their marble flooring and chandeliers. There's a lot of features and design to give this restaurant a high class vibe and it's also reflected in the prices. The service was very attentive and the server was very nice and came by to our table frequently to help us with the menu or top off water. The menu was confusing. It's an a la carte and a Prix fixed menu. It needs to be separated. If it's your first time there you will not get it right away and that is troublesome to have a server explain it to you everytime. The food I felt was done very well for the mains only. The cauliflower appetizer was delicious as each bite had a crunch and a coating of spicy dressing. The roasted eggplant was more deep fried and didn't have much flavour to enhance it. The garnishes were a nice touch, but fell short. The mains were the highlight of our experience. The beef short rib had soft meat and a delicious gravy. The same went for the goat dish. I found the price of rice to be high ($5). I don't believe there was an option to get plain rice. We didn't order dessert but overall it was a good but not great experience. If I would come back again? Maybe? I found the food to be on the pricier end and value is not quite there. It's a nice place to spoil yourself once in a while. read more

Modern and elevated Indian cuisine, set in a sumptuous and elegant environment, Goa Kitchen delivers an exceptional dining experience and shows great attention to detail in their food, service and atmosphere. This is a welcome addition to the dining options at the Bayview Village Shopping Centre. *Food* I visited Goa Kitchen with my family on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. Their lunch menu is divided into four sections, including: - First course ($12): Appetizers - Second course ($16): Sandwiches and rolls - Main course ($18): Mostly meat and seafood (comes with rice or naan) - Dessert ($9): Ice cream, kulfi, donuts Note that, despite there being prices listed for each category, certain items have an additional cost as they use more expensive ingredients (ranges from an additional $3 to $5). At the top of the menu, a two-course prix-fixe option is listed for $29. It was initially a bit confusing to navigate the menu, but the waitress explained that the prix-fixe is any combination of two dishes from the first course, second course and main course. My family ended up not going for the prix-fixe, and ordered four "main courses": Bombay Chicken, Butter Chicken, Goan Seafood Curry and the Grass-Fed Beef Short Ribs. Everything was delicious, the flavours were lively and complex yet well-balanced and not too "extreme" (everything seemed to be a crowd-pleaser!) In addition, there were elements of surprise that added to the "wow" factor of the experience, and even the rice was special with what appeared to be dark wild rice, chickpeas and crispy onions bits. The Goan Seafood Curry was outstanding - with its rich seafood flavours, sweet and creamy coconut milk, and spicy curry - and it was the unanimous favourite among the family. The beef short ribs were incredibly tender, and the butter chicken was delicious (the chicken breast was surprisingly moist) with a generous amount of sauce perfect for dipping the naan bread. The meat dishes, naan and rice were each served on its own plate or bowl, making it easy to share "family style". *Service* The service was good, though it was initially a slow start for our waiter to bring our water/drinks and take our order. Once we placed our order, it took about 20 to 25 minutes for our food to be served. The waitstaff were very friendly and checked-in on us a couple of times throughout our meal, and at the end of our meal the owner (Hemant Bhagwani) stopped by our table to thank us for visiting. It was a treat to chat with the owner, as he took the time to tells us more about the development of his restaurant, and the endeavour to source high quality ingredients. *Atmosphere* The atmosphere is really striking, and caught my attention even before the restaurant opened. With an arched ceiling, warm red walls, three dazzling chandeliers, and sleek white marble floors, from top to bottom the space is very elegant. Even the receipt comes in a fancy embroidered box. It's not a particularly large restaurant, but the tables were comfortably spaced out between parties. Possibly one of the areas of improvement would be the menu. The menu is fairly basic and the instructions could be clearer. In addition, it would do the restaurant justice to add their story to the menu so that people can read more about the region of Goa and the restaurant's vision. For example, on the menu there is a picture of who I believe is "Vasco da Gama" the Portuguese explorer, but it has no caption or explanation. I would definitely visit Goa Kitchen again, and look forward to trying their appetizers and desserts. read more

Great food! You have to try every single dish. Interior design not so great though! Highly recommended take out or dine in. read more

The taste was disappointing. No flavour or richness. This is clearly made for a particular palette or I caught the chef on an extremely bad day. read more

Decided to try out this little place located in Bayview Village Shopping Centre. They have a short menu with their interpretation of meals from Goa. I ordered the Goat Sorpatel. Traditionally this meal is made with pork. So was interesting to try this new twist out. Unfortunately it lacked the spices of the original dish of pork. It tasted like a normal goat curry dish. My friend had the Chicken Xucuti and it was close to authentic. read more

Delivered from here through uber eats during quarantine. Super bland tasting butter chicken, which is pretty hard to make bland. Rice pieces were very small and not good quality. Samosas were great. Wasn't impressed especially given the bougieness and prices. read more

Went to the restaurant for Summerlicious with 5 friends on June 9. The food is good but the service is very slow and inattentive. Don't order the prawn curry as you only get 3 shrimps, sauce and nothing else. Also, we were a party of 6 and we were told that we could not sit inside the restaurant but had to sit in the indoor pation outside the restaurant. When I went to the washroom later I saw parties of 7 and 5 people inside the restaurant. All in all not a good experience overall. read more

Been invited to this restaurant before and food was great. So when we wanted to go back we made reservations and they were not honoured. Mistakes happen so we postponed visit but on 2nd try and inspite of having double-checked our reservation we still could not get a table. We arrived on time but table was not available. Went for a 20 minute walk but still not ready for us. Very embarrassing since we brought our friends. Frankly, I don't care how good the food is when you can't get in or get your reservation honoured twice in a row. So, food may be good but don't bet your reservation will hold but instead go to Tabule just across from Goa. Can't recommend Goa and won't go back. Christian & Roxana read more

Note: this review is for a Summerlicious meal and might not reflect a regular dining experience. Goa Kitchen is located at Bayview Village. Decor exudes richness, with dramatic bold crimson walls and large chandeliers. Tables for 2 and 4 people with comfortable seating are available in the dining room with capacity for 40 people. I started with the Grilled Cafreal Chicken (organic chicken, green masala spiced, avocado, tomato-cucumber salad, mint chutney); the chicken was bland, overall disappointing in terms of flavor. For my main I ordered Shrimp Curry with Okra (coconut sauce, tiger shrimp, okra, kokum curry, served with pilau basmati); curry lacked complexity, pilau basmati was nice. I finished the meal with the Mango Lassi 'Mousse' (orange jello, mango pulp, vanilla ice cream), which tasted just like mango lassi; the lack of effort attempting to create a real dessert was a bit disappointing again.. The table next to ours ordered from the regular menu, and it was obvious that Summerlicious dishes serving sizes were noticeably smaller compared to regular portions. Value was poor considering lackluster flavor and reduced serving sizes. Goa Kitchen certainly missed the opportunity provided by Summerlicious to create a positive first impression. Service was good. Plenty of parking available on premises. Easy access by TTC. https://thomassu.smugmug.com/Food/2019/190713GoaKitchen/n-NFXnbv read more

Went here for lunch.4/5 but seems like it would achieve a higher rating of 4.5 if I had gone for dinner Space was small as it is located inside a mall, however it was not to loud nor cramped. Food was all delicious, not overly spiced but carried authentic flavours. I ate the pakora for starters and the butter chicken. There was only a set course menu available for lunch- you were able to choose from a couple options for each course but limited food choices. Presentation was quite nice, not overly special but you can tell they did put effort into it. There was however no drink menu at all. One was shown on their website and did not say anywhere it was not available during lunch. Disappointing considering their drinks looked great read more

We went to Goa for the first time during the Summerlicious 2022 event. The food was excellent! We ordered three lamb dishes and they were one better than the other. The naan had just the right amount of crunchiness and the rice was fluffy and delicious As dessert we ordered the mango lassi cheesecake which was, to our surprise, BETTER than the one from the Cheesecake Factory. The service was outstanding. Our server, ADRIAN, was extremely attentive, polite and pleasant and he made this experience very enjoyable for us. One thing that you have to be aware is that the gratuity is INCLUDED in the bill. read more

I liked their food, service and decor quite a bit, and will be back for more. Goa Kitchen has a variety of gluten-free dishes cooked on separate surfaces to avoid cross-contamination which is awesome. Celiac friendly is much appreciated. My only concern was that rice is not listed as gluten-free there, but then they added it to my dish instead of naan and said that they checked and it is gluten-free even though it is not listed as such. I wish it was mentioned in the menu. It's a little scary to guess every time. read more

This was my first time at Goa Kitchen. The staff were friendly and I also liked the decor inside the place. This is more of a fine dining Indian restaurant so prices are higher compared to other places. I tried the guava, mint and chilli drink, it was very refreshing and I loved the combination of all 3. I was able to try 3 different vegetarian curries from the new menu. The eggplant curry, jackfruit and okra curry, and the beyond meat curry. Also tried the tandoori roti and the stuffed Naan with paneer. My favorite was the eggplant curry and the stuffed Naan out of all 3. I will come back to have these 2 dishes again. I didn't enjoy the jackfruit curry as the flavour was not soaked into the jackfruit, and it tasted very bland. The roti was also dry and I would have liked it to be more crispy and light. Also, I found it really strange that an Indian restaurant doesn't serve rice with its curries as rice is a staple in Indian cuisine. They instead ask you to pay for an order of rice. read more

Beautiful ambiance. The seafood curry was sooo good. The scallops were huge. The garlic naan was so nasty. Service was good. The curry have a nice heat and yet it was very flavourful. The basmati rice was good as well, so good that we have to order another bowl. I will definitely be back for other items on the menu! read more
