Samosas have always been a favourite from here but when attempting to order the samosa plate, this…read moreis what I got (attached photo). I was later informed (by the customer mentioned below) that the plate I received was similar to a more traditional way of eating samosas similar to how you'd find it in a household. Story time: At first I thought it (the order) was a mistake because I ordered off of door dash and the bag it came in was just an unmarked plastic bag; so I reordered but received the same thing. I was disappointed given that I was expecting 8 individual samosas (as shown on the Bengali sweets website), so I gave the store a call. When the owner picked up, he was nothing short of rude and expressed that he couldn't explain anything over the phone and that I should come to the store in person. I was free so I made the trip and when I went, he made no attempt to explain or rectify the misunderstanding, he was rude and patronizing (saying I am ignorant and don't understand the culture because I'm not Bengali which may be true but I did my research so I thought the comment was rather offensive), and he was trash talking me and a fellow customer (who stood up to him for me when he made me cry) to a customer who walked in during all of this. In total, me and another customer (who had insisted on buying the 8 samosas I tried to order) spent 1.5 hours at the store waiting for the food on the owner's promise that the food would take "five more minutes". I wish this experience hadn't happened because me and my community genuinely love the food there but the owner's behaviour and actions are hard to ignore.

I agree with Anlina that this place is a totally hidden gem. The restaurant itself isn't that large but a good family sized restaurant with about 16 tables (many seating 4 with some 2s and a larger group table). Service is pretty attentive with the water refills. The buffet selection is not that large compared to East India or Ivory but it definitely offers enough for any Indian food fan to be satisfied. Some of the dishes aren't kept as hot (temperature wise), it felt lukewarm as it seemed like some dishes had been sitting there for a while. Other than that, for $12.99, I have no issues with this place! The best dishes are actually the vegetarian ones. The palak paneer was smooth, creamy and had a little kick to and great seasoning. The eggplant bhartha has great flavour and the most delicious potatoes. The vegetable korma was also rich and creamy. The butter chicken was okay - it's average, not that flavourful. The shrimp curry suffered a bit from sitting in the buffet pan as the last few shrimps I got were stringy. The spicy chicken was in a bright red sauce, though it didn't taste that spicy to me it had some good flavours going there. The vegetable samosa is baked, the pastry is a bit too thick for my liking but the filling is pretty good. The plain naan is included, a nice perk as many places charge extra. The naan tasted like it was baked as well and not made in a tandor oven so it tasted more like westernized flat bread. This place is located in a stripmall, so look for the Dairy Queen that's across from Samosa Crown on Keewaitin.

Went with the wife and daughter and where met by a rather depressed looking waitress. Took our seats Noone came near us. Finally had to go up and ask for Nan bread. Up for our first round of food and most of the trays only had the sauce in them. Wife went for tandoori chicken and it was well undercooked. ..still pink. Pointed this out to the depressed girl. Not much response. Nan bread arrived yuck greasy. Had to walk up to the counter again to ask for water and a beer. 20 minutes later the water arrived...Luke warm from tap. Beer wasn't much better. Had enough and went up ask for owner or manager no one there. Complained about food and got a blank look from the charming waitress. Paid bill and walked out!!!!! Never again .Avoid I'd give no stars if I could

If I had a magic wand I would conjure up what I experienced - the fantastic smells, the exquisite tastes, the extensiveness of the buffet dishes, and the music and decor. However all of this wonder was trumped by two people, the owners, Usha Mehra and her son Sachit. I now understand the true meaning of hospitality. Thank you.

They offer a fairly substantial buffet, condiment bar and dessert station. It's difficult for me to describe the food holders but they were top shelf...the food wasn't open to the air nor topped with a cumbersome lid one had to wrestle with. That said, I didn't have the buffet because I had a particular idea of what I wanted to eat and wasn't interested in the expanse the buffet offered. I order salt Lassi, excellent exactly how I like it. For appetizer, I ordered "Gol gappa chaat", which has chick peas, potatoes and put into a light crispy shell. Delicious! The chutney add a little extra oomph to every bit. For my main, I ordered Anarkali, whose spices penetrated the vegetables as well as the shrimp. Delicious! I ordered Coconut naan and Chili naan mostly out of curiosity...as it's not something that is often available at Indian restaurants I've visited among my travels. That said, I could not enjoy them because they arrive at my table very early and without my main...almost as if the naan was an appetizer...which is very unusual in my experience. Lastly, I could not chose between a dessert I've never had (Rasmalai) and a dessert I alway have (gulab jamun)...so I ordered them both, which was a tremendous indulgence that I enjoyed in every sweet bite. The ambiance is second to none! But the restaurant for me doesn't get 5 stars because of the service...not that the server wasn't good, she was fine, attentive etc. but the long wait for the main that literally spoiled my naan ( it was cold) is something I'm not willing to forgive. The place was busy and perhaps thats why the kitchen was so slow. The food that I had though for the most part was delicious ! Very enjoyable, I'd certainly recommend them to anyone I know going to Winnipeg's downtown area.

Went here for dinner with a friend recently, and noticed that the menu is different compared to Gateway. Lots more choices, maybe to cater the younger crowd here. I had the lamb rogan josh with medium spice. Excellent price for what you get, and the lamb + sauce were very flavourful. I however wish they offered a few more lamb pieces, it felt like I had to drink more sauce to make up for the lack of meat. Still good though! Service was excellent here. Overall I like the Gateway branch more, but there's some food options here that's not available in the northeast (e.g: more poutine options). So depends on what you want to have.
