It's been a while since I've been to La Sani Grill in Scarborough. Their Pakistani cuisine is delicious! We had their Butter Chicken, Fish Pakora, Chicken Biryani, with Naan and a small salad. Everything tasted great! The butter chicken was as good as I remembered, so was the biryani and naan. This was my first time having their fish pakora and it was really good. This was a delicious meal! read more

HUGE portion, good taste, cheap price. Overall, good lunch. This place is inside the OCAD food court, so there are a lot of OCAD students eat here. We went here on a weekend; where most restaurants in the food plaza were closed, only this place was open, so we decide to eat here. The portion was HUGE, we ordered 2 dishes for 2 people, but i feel 1 dish would be enough. the food could feed a university student for the entire day. It was a good lunch worth the money. highly recommend if you are super hungry near the OCAD. read more

We decided to visit this place after reading the good google reviews. Even though we were the only customers dining in at the restaurant (at the time), the staff seemed really busy and distracted with packaging phone and online orders. We decided on Lamb Karahi (which comes with a naan, salad, and mint sauce) and Chicken Tikka Tandoori (which comes with rice, a naan, salad, and mint sauce). Our server was a pleasant and humble young lady. She made us feel much more welcome than we had initially felt with her positive attitude. The portions of food that we were served were decent sized. We enjoyed the Lamb Karahi with the Rogani Naans. They were both well cooked. The rice was also good. However, the Chicken Tikka Tandoori (which is described as half chicken with bone marinated overnight in herbs and spices cooked in traditional tandoori style to perfection) was neither properly marinated nor cooked to perfection. It looked good but was raw in certain areas and dry in others. We had to pack it up and bring it home to recook it. The restaurant is spacious and the washrooms are clean.

La Sani Grill is much better than what past Yelpers have rated them. Perhaps it's because they were not expecting Pakistani-Indo-Afghani style food? Maybe those past Yelp reviewers are not exposed to cuisine beyond a jar of President's Choice butter chicken sauce? For those in the know we would like to keep this place a secret so no one will come here and we can enjoy all the food to ourselves. But this would be greedy. So in the spirit of building a better Yelp community I share with you, my fellow Yelpers, that this place is worthy of not 2, not 3, but 4-stars. All menu items are Halal. The garlic butter naan, chicken biryani, mixed veg dish and kheer were indeed 4-star worthy. Just don't tell too many people, we still want it to be a best kept secret. read more

Visited here today on the recommendation of a colleague. The restaurant is clean and modern and the service was good. You order at the counter at the back and then sit down. I like how how they bring your food directly to your table and cleaned up when done. I arrived just a little before the lunch crowd rush and ordered the Seekh (Beef) Kabob lunch special with rice and salad. The beef was good but a little overcooked which made it a bit dry. The rice was OK, but I much prefer the fluffy type you get at Afghan kabob places. The salad was a bunch of shredded lettuce (very difficult to eat) with a few slices of red onion (nice), tomato and cucumber. For the kabob plate experience I would personally stick with the middle eastern type but I may come back here in future to try some of their other dishes. read more

La Sani Grill is a good place for lunch. Yes lunch specials from $3.99 includes a bottle water or a can of pop!! I like the way it is set up. Kind of like a mix of food court and sit down restaurant but no tips is neccessary. Just to to the counter and place your offer and they will have the food deliver to your table. The Butter Chicken and Naan/side salad ($6.99) tasted great! The Naan bread is made freshly and still hot, tender and full of texture and flavour. It tasted so good to be dip in and eat with the Butter Chicken sauce. The chicken breast has been marinated first then grilled, (I can tasted the smokey flavour) and cooked in makhni sauce and garnished with white butter, fresh cream and fenugreek leaves. The chicken is really tender and the sauce is not spicy when I was eating it. But I can feel it is burning in my stomach afterwards! The great thing about eating here is all the food are serve on real plate and cutley... not foam plate or plastic forks/knives! There are over 13 choices for lunch specials, I will definitely be back to try out others on the menu! They accepts Visa, Mastercard and Interac. read more

I've been to the Ajax location and didn't have the best experience. I would still give the Ajax location another try because maybe I just had them on an off day. The butter chicken was not creamy and did not have enough sauce in it at all, chicken was dry. THIS location on the other hand, the interior was clean, staff were very friendly (not that they werent at the other location) The butter chicken was so delicious! The white meat was well cooked, moist on the inside, the portion of sauce to meat was perfect and the sauce was seasoned with all of the right ingredients making it so creamy. I also really enjoyed the chicken poutine. It had lots of flavour and im a fan of their fries, crispy and yummy. I would go back to this location! :) read more

We just happen to come here since I picked up here for food delivery for a customer since I courier food for Skip the Dishes. It caught my eye, since I have been craving Chicken Biryani..and was wondering where my wife and I could go to satisfy that craving. We aren't experts for Pakistani/Indian cuisine by any means. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Tandoori and the Boneless Chicken Biryani. We fully enjoyed both and we were stuffed by the end of the meal. We also had quite a bit leftover for take home. Lots of chicken chunks in the chicken biryani dish. The only thing that sorta bugged me is the Chicken Tikka Tandoori. What we received didn't match the product shot at all. Was supposed to be served on a rectangular type dish with 4 pieces of chicken, decent portion of basmati rice and some salad. The salad is kinda weak in presentation. We ended up with a circular plate with only 2 pieces of chicken + the rice and salad. The mint sauce and the single naan received were good. I even got extra mint sauce for take home to add to the chicken biryani dish. We'll definitely be back for the chicken biryani dish and try some of the other chicken based dish offerings. read more

I'm not an expert for this kind of food, but I definitely really love the rich flavours of this butter chicken. It's my go to place since it's close by, relatively fast, and not crazy expensive. The meats generally come with basic naan, but getting some extra garlic butter naan is important to mop up all that delicious sauce. Plus, the garlic naan is pretty tasty on its own too. read more

This is hard for me to do because the food at La Sani is so frekkin delicious. But the service is so off it's frustrating. The first time around I overlooked it but it seems a consistent thing that I had to update my review. I ordered take out for a large lunch group and was put on hold for over 10 minutes before they could get back to me on the phone for my order. The server didn't repeat the order, she just took it down and said 20 minutes and then hung up on me - didn't even take my name. That's fine, I assume they have call display and go by phone number of something. So I get there 20 minutes later and wait in the long line up and then wait some more because my order isn't ready - also fine, they're very busy. When they hand me my bags I ask them to repeat my order and one of my items was wrong. They refused to fix it saying they confirmed twice on the phone. Since it wasn't a food allergy issue I eventually let it slide. Then I tried to use my yelp check in offer since I had spent over the required amount and they said no because it doesn't apply on lunch special (which is not indicated anywhere). Before I could even discuss, she shouted "next" and began serving the customer behind me. I went back with my food and angrily ate the most delicious and well-spiced palak paneer and butter chicken in Scarborough. read more

La Sani Grill...comes on my Visa statement at least once a month. Great place, located central-ish part of Scarborough, there's also a Pickering location. Both places have the same set up, nice clean open kitchen look. If you going with a large crowd for dine in, would recommend the Pickering location. Finding parking in the Markham Road location is just annoying at times. Food - For the price you really cannot complain. Some things that I tried are : - Butter Chicken - Nice creamy butter chicken. Not skimpy on the protein and definitely not some premix from a bottle. - Half Chicken Roast - Comes with half naan, salad, half chicken, rice, and the sauces. For $14 with tax you can't go wrong. Well flavored and infused chicken and rice. Would recommend getting extra hot sauce, they drizzle on top of the chicken..( fist pump emoji ) -Chicken Tika Wrap - Good for a quick snack. Chicken Tika, veggies, wrapped in a naan. -Lamb Chops - Good seasoning, but was rough to chew. Smaller chops then regular. Unless you really really want lamb chops would recommend skipping this one. -Chicken Tika Boti / Tandoori - Comes in the same way as half chicken roast. Well seasoned meat. Don't forget the hot sauce ;-) Good place to try out and for take out, good portion sizes. Would recommend for all occasions. read more

I have been to this place cause the Butter-Chicken is great! I would come with a friend. Only suggesion is let us add the rise to the combo. Good on price but the service is not as what i'm use to!! But if your served by the manger/owner you get perfect services!! I have gone many times. I would suggest it to anyone who is feeling like india food! read more

I love this place! Always great food and customer service! Go here! You'll be glad you did !

Expensive for the quality of food. Ordered lamb chops they smelled and tasted like fish! Bad customer service! Wont recommend and wont return! read more

Visited Saturday night. They give you a small salad with a small plastic side cup of a very good minty and yogurt-based peppered sauce. -Butter Chicken (good, but had a unique, sort of dairy cream off-putting sweetness, love it or hate it). Chicken pieces were red Tandoori chicken breast pieces which were great, but not plentiful) -Chicken Biryani (rice was not greasy/brothy, and flavour was above decent with more varied spices than most resto biryanis). Chicken pieces were non-chicken-breast plain chicken pieces which my friend and I disliked greatly) -Naan (Very good, not too stretchy but thin and airy, which was great) Best of all, they dont charge you for a tip or even offer a chance to (if you use debit or credit card, probably if you use cash too) so that was a definite plus. But the price of that means somewhat less richer food. Overall more homestyle/simpler and the butter chicken sauce/curry is unique in a sweet-like flavour which you will love or dislike. Value was average but worthwhile. read more

They have a great lunch deal till four everyday! Food is really good and you get large portions. Always leftover to take home. You get more when you order in and take home what's left than ordering takeout. read more

La Sani Grill has some very decent lunch specials. I ordered the Reshmi Kabob with 2 skewers of meat, salad and choice of either rice or naan. Food is flavourful, but I expected a slightly bigger portion for $8.49 Dining room is very well done though, romantic setting for couples. I'd hand em four stars, but three for the portion. Still a very good restaurant. read more

To be honest I came here because it was on blogto....and I have to say I really won't be returning ever. Firstly it was hyped to be the best butter chicken in Toronto, which is what I ordered. And I kid you not, on a Friday lunch, where the restaurant was half full I got my food about 35 minutes later. When the food came out, it was pretty good, but I can't justify anyone waiting 35 minutes for it when I'm Toronto, you are spoilt for choice in terms of Indian/Pakistani food. The butter chicken is delicious however. They use grilled chicken in curry so it's got that extra tandoori flavour on top of the butter chicken sauce, which was rich and flavourful. read more

For $18 I wouldn't expect grey butter chicken that tasted like marmite. It was mediocre and over priced staff was confused and couldn't explain the dishes well. Never again. read more

This place use to be so good. Not sure if it's new management but it literally took 40 min to serve us butter chicken, chicken biryani and naan lol. The place wasn't even busy. Pretty disappointed because I know this place has potential. A word of advice. Make sure you double check your order because they charged my girlfriend and I extra for the chicken biryani when it was clearly their special. read more

I ate here with a friend as she raved about the place and how good it was. Needless to say, I had high expectations especially with my friend being a pig with food. (I hate the term, "foodie", it's for basic people). We ordered the Butter Chicken and some roasted lamb leg and a bunch of garlic naan. So she got her order and waited for like half an hour for mine. Forty-five minutes later, nothing. They must've forgotten my order even though you actually order at the counter. So, something was definitely wrong there. Oh to top the cherry off, we got an apology, that's pretty much it. I can tell the attendant can feel my wrath but she kept mum. I got my food, AN HOUR later of waiting, and unfortunately, it was subpar. It was just okay. Hadn't I received such bad service to begin with, maybe I would've enjoyed it better, but no. We again ordered another garlic naan....... lemme tell you, GIRLFRIEND FORGOT THE ORDER AGAIN. And had the nerve to charge me for it still even though she forgot my order twice. Sorry La Sani Grill, my money will never be spent in your establishment again. PS. I do understand that reviews are subjective and unfortunately, I had a really bad experience. read more

Cant go wrong for the price esp during lunch(lunch Specials). Not sure why people are complaining about servers clearing their plates. THERE ARE NO SERVERS and YOU DONT TIP.

Hits the spot. read more

Came here twice. Ordered the butter chicken one time, and got a masor daal the second time. The butter chicken dish comes with naan and salad but you can ask to change the naan for rice if you prefer. The butter chicken was creamy and tasty and had a very distinct tomato soup kind of taste mixed into it (but it wasn't bad!) The masoor dal comes with naan and salad also but I asked to change the naan for rice. The daal had some spice to it and it didn't taste very traditional but the portion was quite large so that was good. Also, be sure to ask for utensils because they don't give it to you even if you order to go. read more

They changed the menu and the quality of the food recently (couple months or so). It seems like this location is under some new owner that totally butchered what made this place great in the first place. It's really a shame. Severely disappointed... skip for something better read more

After hearing about this place for about a year, I tried it today at lunch, going with two workmates. We had the Reshami Kebab and the Beef Tikka Boti -- the latter was outstanding, tender and spiced beautifully. We also had the lamb Kahari, which likewise was a standout with very generous pieces of soft lamb and a sauce that was great to mop up with the naan (the tandoori naan, by the way was fabulous and came directly from the tandoor to the table -- we also had the stuffed kulcha, which is a bread filled with paneer and spices). We added a vegetable dish to our order, Lahori Chikkar Cholay, chickpeas in a beautiful curry sauce. This was the only dish that disappointed as the chick peas were a bit on the mushy side. The salted lassi I had with my food was good, though it might have been a bit colder. So bottom line: the beef tikka boti was as good as I have had anywhere in Toronto, as were the breads. I'll certainly come back, especially because I work about ten minutes away. .... Came back a week later with a friend -- very consistent and, if anything, the beef tikka boti was even better. Juicy well-cooked pieces of very tender meat. Lamb Kakari, likewise, was every bit as good as I remembered it. Service very friendly. read more

If you're a freak for Paki food (as I am!), this area of Suburban Toronto is the place to be. So many places to choose from. The manager and most of the front desk staff at the Hotel I stay at while I'm in Scarborough are Desi, so I ask them their opinion. The first time, they steered me to a Hakka place called Tangerine, just a few blocks away, and it was fab. (Q.V. my review here). This time I said I wanted a different place to further my experience of the area. They told me to go here. (Actually right next door to Tangerine). Couldn't have been a better tip! Ran into a Desi family who say they drive a long way from the other side of the city just to come to this place. Nice folks to talk to. I let the Father order for me. What a feed! Had Beef and some Veggie stuff, great Rice and Naan. Fabulous!! Didn't catch the names of the dishes, but it doesn't matter-I asked him to order me a selection that would put the best of the place before me. Sure did! Decor? Not much. And you've got to go to the counter to get your food. So what? I'd walk around the block for stuff this good. No booze either. Again, so what? This place is in a strange (at least for my Chicago ass) little shopping area. It kind of looks like if you are not Desi, you might be in the wrong place, if you know what I mean. It ain't like that. Everyone is most friendly. Glad for the recommendation, Mr.Manager! Spot on! read more

Pros: - price for the food was relatively cheap - portions are big - kebabs were really hefty, especially for the price ------- chicken kebab was a lot better than I thought, on point - atmosphere was relatively clean - naan was pretty good, esp garlic Cons: - beef kebab meat felt really hard, either it was something in the quality of the meat or they were stale and were warmed again? - lamb karahi was really small, and wasnt even that good - no heating in the room on our side - servers were rude, didnt serve out plates - at the end, they gave us aluminum foil and styrofoam packing and told us to pack the remaining food ourselves LOL All in all: good food, good portions, prices are fine, not too spicy, but service is lacking read more

I came to la Sani and made my family members pick out takeout from here. They have a sister store La Jawab in Markham, much closer to us. However before that, I loved the curries here. The vegetable curry is great and the Karachi chicken is amazing! the naan is also very fresh. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. Pricing is alright for dine in/take out . The catering pricing is ridiculous read more

Food is great! Delicious, fresh, fast. Decor and atmosphere is relaxed. Music is a little loud but that's okay. Service is not so great. Twice my friend had to ask for our mango lassis. They were delicious - but why must we ask for something we ordered - twice? I feel the customer service left much to be desired. If it weren't for the food, I would not return. read more

This place has fantastic food by all means, one of my go to places to eat. I normally get take out. You may wonder why the great review, yet two stars. I decided to invite a few friends to eat at la Sani grill, being that it's one of my fav joints. But the customer service is just awful. One of the worst! Not the counter service but more so that they give you the most awkward feeling when They want to close up 45 mins before the posted time. First, they cleared away plates that were still being used w/o asking. I had one and a half naans left, with 2 pieces of lamb karahi left (only comes with like 5-6 pieces). They decide to come by and throw my dirty napkins into my food, just because I decided to take a break from eating to chat. Mind you, it's 945pm and they close at 1030. Basically saying gtfo. I was actually planning to take that bit of food home because the curry is awesome. Your employees represent you and your business. Is that who you really are, as the owner? If so, I would boycott the place, even if the food is good. You ain't the only spot in this great city. read more

I was there at La Sani with a friend post lunch and the restaurant was pretty much empty at that time. Ordered BBQ chicken wings, Veg Pulao & Kadai Paneer. The lady at the counter took our order and before I went and sat I asked for water and with a smile she said yes. 15 minutes later it the water never came and I asked her again to which she threw an attitude (Rude stare) that I felt was completely unnecessary. Then she got the food with the same rude stare. She forgot my pop and we had to go ask her again. Talking about the food "IT WAS EXCEPTIONAL" no doubts! 10/10 straight. La Sani has to understand the way their employees talk and treat their customers are also important. I request them to work on that. I'll NOT VISIT them again, service to me is more important than food. My Ratings Food - 10/10 Service - 3/10 Ambience - 5/10 Overall experience - 7/10 Cheers, Sesha read more
