Considering the area, it's the best value-for-taste in regards to Indian (Pakistani) takeout. If you prefer just to eat in the comfort of your own home as opposed to dining in somewhere and paying premium prices + taxes + tips, then Shaheen is for you! I got a Chicken Biryani + 1 small Chicken Karahi + 1 medium veg pakoras in yogurt sauce and it was ~$22. This will feed 3-4ppl. Again, much better deal than an Indian restaurant. Since this is a grocery store + hot table + butcher, the chicken was soo tender. Not old and hard as with other places. Girl behind counter was very friendly! She also stated that dishes are kept at Medium-Spicy, and that wasn't an exaggeration. So if you're sensitive to spices, I'd ask before I buy! But I think this is a good thing as opposed to watered-down food. Again, great "bang for your buck" if you're looking for a Pakistani takeout!

Biryaniwalla Downtown is a busy Indian restaurant in Toronto's Koreatown. It serves a wide range of…read moreHyderabadi‑style biryanis, from chicken and mutton to egg, prawn, and vegetarian options. The place stays open very late, often until 1AM or even 5:30AM, making it a popular stop for late‑night meals. The space is casual and cozy, with quick service and a menu built around bold spices and rich flavours. S the name implies, the biryani is the star here, offering great taste, aroma, portion sizes, and variety, including spicy regional styles and special trays for groups. Alongside biryani, they offer starters like dynamite gobi, curries, and desserts such as gulab jamun. It's a simple, no‑frills spot where the focus is on flavour, value, and feeding serious biryani cravings.

I've been here plenty of times for one particular item: Bihari Kabob. The Bihari rolls: (in paratha) these are amazing! The kabob is cooked to perfection. It is a little spicy but full of flavor. The partha is oily, considered your self warn as you can practically use the oil as moisturizer but it's delicious! Chicken Biryani: definitely have had better but this wasn't too bad Chicken karahi: this was also delicious. They top it up with fresh ginger and coriander. This was oozing with flavor and was the highlight of the evening. Paired with fresh Naans Nihari: it was good! The service is a usually good, at times they are very busy so it's a bit chaotic. They are mostly attentive, the food does take longer than usual to arrive at times.

I'm assuming because it's Pakistani and not Indian that's why it's different. I would've love to have reviewed the rice, however it never got here. But with the bogo, the butter chicken is a good value. It's about a 7.5/10 on spiciness.

We got two of the nk grills and it was a good amount of food. We had to pack some to go. The naan was so soft and fresh. All the meats were juicy and flavourful. The kofta and tandoori chicken were the top picks for me. The baba ghanouj was also really good. I do wish it came with more naan though. The interior is also beautifully decorated. I was quite surprised because this was my first time eating at a Naan and Kabob. I never would have guessed it looked so nice inside. Wish I had more room to eat more!

I'm not sure how long they've been there or why I hadn't noticed them before but I'm always up for a good curry so we popped in for dinner. The menu is quite extensive and it took us a while to look over everything. Since this was our first time here, we opted for dishes we were familiar with so we could benchmark them against our favourite Indian restaurant. Our selection consisted of Aloo Gobi Masala, Tandoori Butter Chicken, Malai Lamb Curry, Super Naan, Masala Raita and Basmati Rice. Everything looked and smelled amazing so we were excited to tuck in. First, I have to say, this Aloo Gobi has set the bar higher and is now the benchmark by which all future Aloo Gobi dishes will be compared against. The curry dishes were also amazing. In fairness, ordering butter chicken was safe, but we also wanted to have something we hadn't tried before. You can never go wrong with lamb and the description of the Malai Lamb Curry sounded irresistible... it left me gobsmacked. Are you kidding me? This dish is packed with flavour and the lamb was cooked to perfection. We actually considered packing up the rest of the sauce to bring home. Honestly, it's that good. Definitely a MUST! Absolutely everything from start to finish was delicious. The owner/chef (?) came out for a chat and to regale us with descriptions of other dishes to try next time... and believe me, there will definitely be a next time! Have I just found my new favourite Indian restaurant? I think I might have.

We tried the Amritsari paneer tikka - it's to die for! I really loved the marination on it wanted the flavour ( one of the best I have had in Canada). Also tried the Kadai Paneer( I could however handle more spice though). Their garlic Naan is amazing too. Overall, really loved the food( specifically the green chutney). The staff is really nice, loved the quick service. The place is little on the pricier side but great for special occasions!

And, the menu offers a wide variety of options, from quick snacks and street food to full meals and freshly made sweets prepared in-house. We were impressed with their selection of Indian sweets.

I was greeted warmly by a gentleman at the front. To my surprise, the restaurant was not that full for a Saturday night at 6:30 PM. Maybe the rain kept people off of the streets. I ordered and was told that it would be 15 minutes. I went for a walk and returned about 13 minutes later. I had a nice discussion with the gentleman who took my order and received my piping hot food 3 minutes later. Pretty good guess at timing. Also, I knew that my food was prepared fresh as they actually took time to cook it. When I returned to my hotel, I was shocked at how much food I was given. I could tell it was a lot by how heavy my bag was. Once I opened it up, I was very happy. It was easily 3 meals worth of food. Everything was very fresh and delicious. I can't say enough great things about how tasty and fresh the food was. The service was impeccable as well. You won't be sad if you choose Utsav for a meal. Well, you shouldn't be.
