Given the lack of customers, service was a little slow but friendly enough. They were also playing the Indian music a little too loud for my taste, was hard to hear my coworker.

Also, Garlic Naan. Food was very good and prices were reasonable.

My sister loves this place so she took us all there to celebrate her birthday. Right away I loved the pink colour and warm, opulent vibe of the restaurant. And I loved the elegant dishes and cute touch lamps on the table. There was so much on the menu so I just trusted her to order for all of us. Wow! It was an epic birthday lunch! My favourites were the egg plant fries, charcoal butter chicken, palak paneer spinach and butter naan. And the cucumber raita really helped because I prefer mild spices and my family likes everything spicy! Here's what we ordered... MOJITO Refreshing and minty cocktail originating from Cuba, the Mojito is perfect for hot summer days. White Rum, Mint Leaves, Lime Juice, Simple Syrup, Soda Water, Ice (Mango version) CUCUMBER RAITA Yogurt based side with assorted spices, shredded cucumber, a great accompaniment to help you handle the spice.

The food was flavorful and well-prepared, but I felt like the service quality could definitely be improved. Our server seemed a bit overwhelmed, and it took a while for our order to come out. The menu is quite limited, which might not be ideal if you're looking for a wide variety of options, but what they do offer is tasty. Overall, I'd still recommend Aamara for a casual dining experience, especially if you're in the mood for some comforting flavors and a cozy setting. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait!

The bindhi was fresh tasting and the goat was nicely spiced I asked for it to be mild. It was a good meal but the atmosphere was not controllable.

The goat biryani was so spicy even at mild spice. Good, but super spicy for me that I couldn't eat much of it. Butter chicken was so classic, so comforting. Garlic naan paired perfectly with it. The biryani was huge. One could definitely be split between two people. With an addition of an appetizer, it still might've been more than enough.

On top of that, there's a dry meat corner & a fried stuff corner. They cover a lot of ground, eg there's both dry & gravy chili chicken. The spread is probably big because it's also used for takeout (I saw staff scooping food from the buffet into a container a few times). The food is mostly of decent quality. Best of all, they're really cheap: Saturday dinner was $17.99 plus tax. They get 4.5 stars. The fried rice was tasteless but the veg Hakka noodles were pretty good. The Butter Naan was decent as naan but a bit dry for butter naan. Butter chicken used tandoori chicken, giving extra flavour & had a very rich sauce (shared with the paneer makhani). It was especially good. There were quite a few desserts: fruit, 2 mini cakes, ice cream & Indian deserts, Both mini cakes were dry. The Indian desserts & fruit were decent. There were 6 ice cream flavours but 3 were super icy & hard & 2 were super soft.

I would love to try their all you can eat buffet if I happen to be in the area.

And if it were run by my childhood best friend, it'd be Brotherfromanothermother India. What to get: Chicken Tikka Masala with Roti or Rice What not to get: India-pendence from the bloody Brits, not without a lot of bloodshed first :( Ways to improve: Slightly lower prices, slightly shorter wait times It may take awhile for your wonderful, delicious Roti to be ready, but it's worth the wait. The lovely young woman serving here does so with a smile, and is as gracious and welcoming has her food is magnificent. Indian food is plentiful in Toronto, but few places blend the spices with fresh doughy roti as wonderfully and magnificently as Mother India. I think it is quite liberal use of the word mother, because I doubt too many Indian mothers can make their food taste this good. The Tikka Masala dish borrows from British Indian food, invented by immigrants to the UK from India, which itself borrows from the original Subcontinent dishes. The Canadian incarnation of this - complete with the wonderful floury slippery roti skins, and the piping hot blend of spices and chicken inside - is unmissable. If you haven't made your way out to the West end of town for some of the ethnic delights - Indian, Caribbean and many more - along Queen St W, then you have yet to truly experience the breadth and deliciousness of the magnificent food choices in Canada's largest city. And if it existed in a world where the bloody Brits had never invaded and colonized India in the first place, then it would be "Another India." But we can't undo the heinous actions of our past. Unfortunately, we also seem unable and unwilling to learn from them.
