Biryani
Divyank S.

The food that I have tried is Chicken Biryani and Lamb Chops. The portion of biryani is good enough to full you. The ambience is quiet because most of the crowd that come are families.

Roti
Rajat G.

Happy that Lahore Tikka House has reopened after the unfortunate fire. Ordered takeout - Chicken kebabs, Lamb Karahi, Till Naans & Roti. Both dishes were delicious with tender meat and flavourful. The breads were baked just right and love their idea of putting a circular cardboard support underneath the round breads .... They travel well and are not folded over. Staff are courteous, professional and with welcoming smiles.

If you're craving for chicken tikka, biryani, naan kinda food, and if you have good spice tolerance, this is the place. The ambience is vibrant, traditional dhaba style, gives an authentic touch! We weren't asked for the spice levels, the food was delicious but couldn't handle spice the next day, iykwim :(

Gol gappe
Sanjali P.

I wanted to love this place because I was craving Indian or Pakistani food. Unfortunately, I found the food too spicy and I ended up not fully enjoying my meal. Service was okay. Our waiter was slow. The other waiters were fine. I thought the channe were just okay- solid 7/10. Biryani in general is spicy but I felt this was over the top- 5/10 The chicken tikka was delicious - 10/10 Naan was way too crispy for my taste - 7/10 Gil gappe was amazing - 12/10 star of the show They don't have mango lassi, only mango shake, was slightly irritated by that because they had salty lassi. Too bad they were even out of the salty lassi.

Lamb and garlic pita

The food here is very flavourful, and got a kick of spice. Not featured on the photos, we also got a small veggie plate, which was super delicious. The only reason I bumped a start down was due to our waiter. He dropped waters spilling all over the table. We also ordered ribs and got lamb instead, which was fine. It still tasted good, but a little spicy for my mild tastes. He also forgot to bring out a second order of rice and garlic naan for the group of friends we were with. Despite all of this, the food tasted great. The portions are pretty big! On top of the food you already ordered, they come around with complimentary shishito peppers should you want some. For families with strollers: there's a giant sign at the entry which says you are not allowed strollers by your seat.

Mixed Tikka Platter.... Chicken wasn't fully cooked
Anika R.

About 10 years ago, my family dined at Lahore Tikka on our Toronto trip. The kebabs were to die for and we had to visit again on our trip this time, but all we were served was disappointment. The service was extremely bad - the waiters were rude, it took them forever to serve us water and refill, and it was pretty slow for a fairly empty restaurant. As for the food, I recall really liking their kebabs but they didn't live up to the quality I remember. We ordered the Mixed Tikka plate and the chicken wasn't even fully cooked... they refused to believe us after we told them and it took them a while to finally consider giving us a new platter. We also ordered the Butter Chicken and Paneer Tikka Masala, and the sauce for both were very lemony and tart which is unusual for both of these dishes. It has been a while since we last visited so maybe management has changed because the quality of this restaurant is no longer the same. We definitely will not be going back here on any of our future Toronto trips.

Naans and Butter Chicken.  Must have!! The taste is so incredibly out of this world!
Regina P.

Came to visit my brother-in-law here in Toronto, Canada. We ate at Lahore Tikka House. This restaurant is not like your typical restaurant. The decor is plain and simple. However, it makes it feel very casual. I love that! My first time eating Pakistani cuisine. It was incredible!! At the end of dinner, I was so stuffed I can't move! Lol the staff were so friendly!! The atmosphere was great!! The place is packed with people. I would definitely like to come back!

We tried their Gol Gappe (pic 1) which is a snack that is a fried puff that you fill with a mixture of potatoes and chickpeas and spices. These are super tasty and the kids had fun eating the puff balls. The mains were the Chicken Biryani which we've had several times before. It was actually one of the better versions we had, packed with chicken. The other was their Karahi Lamb (Curry) and doesn't look appealing but it was the sleeper hit. I love Lamb Curry in general but this was was really good y'all. The meat pieces were super tender and the dish was really tasty. Totally recommend. We also pigged out on Naan and Gulab Jamun. Overall we've had pleasant experiences here but it's like a treat coming here because it's more on the expensive side.

What comes to mind when you think about Pakistani food? You might assume that it's pretty much the same as Indian food. Although there are certainly some similarities, I tend to describe it as more of an Indian/Middle Eastern hybrid, as you'll see influences from both cultures in Pakistani cuisine. Knowing that Pakistan is sandwiched between Iran, Afghanistan, and India tends to make all of the food pieces fall into place. And the best place to try it in Toronto? Lahore Tikka House in the Little India part of Leslieville is the undisputed choice. You Gotta Eat Here! featured them in their fourth season and blogTO has listed them as the #1 Best Pakistani Restaurant in the city. I visited on a Sunday evening and certainly the first thing that caught my attention is how massive their property is. The two storey building is huge, plus they have their own parking lot and an entire tented patio area. You cannot miss it. I love all of the motorized rickshaws that they have parked out front which really adds to the authentic and fun vibe of the place. It was a hot summer's day and we were seated on the patio. As such, I didn't see much of the inside of the restaurant but from what I understand, they have dining areas on both levels. The colours on the walls are jewel-toned and there are several beautiful murals decorating the space as well. The patio outside is draped in lovely sari-like materials. The restaurant feels nothing short of palatial. The menu is quite extensive and our friendly server was happy to help answer our questions. I was excited to try the special Kashmiri Chai that they make but was unfortunately informed that they didn't have any. Nor their plain chai. This was disappointing because a beautiful chai done properly is one of my favourite drinks. One of the first things that happened is a sword was brought around with flame-blistered green peppers skewered onto it. I wrongly assumed that these would be similar to shishitos... Instead these peppers were very, very spicy. I managed a few bites and couldn't continue! However, I loved this special touch. There is a cute part of the menu that serves up Lahori Street Food and I really liked the idea of this! Unfortunately, we had so many other dishes to order that we couldn't get anything from this section but I would love to on a future visit. Two sauces were delivered to our table; one hot sauce that tasted like it was based in tamarind and a cool yogurt sauce that was seasoned with warm spices. These were both delicious and perfect accompaniments to every other dish of the evening. First to arrive was our Butter Chicken (Boneless, red creamy sauce - $16.99) from the Karahi / Curries part of the menu. A karahi incorporates onions, garlic, ginger, chillies, tomatoes and garam masala spices. I was hesitant to order this because it seemed like such a "safe" and "typical" choice. But on the other hand, butter chicken is delicious so... Here we are. This dish arrived firey hot and spitting molten lava. The pieces of chicken were large and tender, truly bathed in sauce. The curry sauce was quite thick, which I liked, and it had a certain tang to it that I found to be enjoyable and unique. Probably not the best butter chicken that I've ever had but still a very good version. Of course we also visited the Tandoori Naans section of the menu because it would be wrong not to! This flat leavened flour bread is baked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven. I could see the cook making it exactly this way through the window. Plain Naan ($2.89 each) seemed like the right choice because I didn't want any other flavours crowding out the other dishes. Although they do offer seven different types. At first we tried to order three of these but our server smartly advised that only two would be plenty. She was right! We could barely finish two because they were so large. Naan is used as a utensil and the diner rips pieces of bread off and uses it to pick up and eat the food on their plate. This version was very simple and uniform - maybe even a bit too perfect. I tend to prefer a less refined shape and a bit more chew to my naan but at the end of the day you can't go wrong with bread. Next up: Seekh Kababs, the restaurant's specialty. Known for its spice, we chose one Beef and one Chicken (Minced meat infused with coriander, ginger & garlic. Grilled on a traditional clay oven and served on a sizzling platter - $4.29 each). These certainly did arrive to our table sizzling profusely! I could tell that the meat had been formed onto a skewer, expertly crafted, and then cooked. Each kabab was extremely flavourful and bursting with delicious spice. Both types of meat were very good and I liked that we tried both for a bit of variety. This is the kind of item that you just get because you're going to want it. We needed rice (curries are always best eaten over rice) and I was finding our meal order to be a bit chicken-heavy. Our server suggested looking to the Biryani sectio

We mixed a raw egg yolk in with the steak and rice and ate it with the accompaniments (wasabi and soy sauce, sesame sauce, fish cakes/mushroom). Everything paired nicely together! The three dishes plus a Sapporo and a cocktail came out to 83 USD. And speaking on the excellence of service again, the staff provided us with toddler plates and utensils, and gave them free ice cream, complete with a sparkler at the end! It really made our kids nights. Thank you to Holy Cow for being so kind to us!

This is their second location, in a build with 3 other food vendors. It is mostly a takeout restaurant. There is a small counter where you could stand and eat. There are six set combinations. Or you can build your own pasta (BYOP) combo. On the soft-opening day (2025-01-20), they were offering an opening special of Mac N Cheese with BBQ Chicken sample and a drink for only $6.99. I ordered the following: 1. BYOP: Garlic Shrimp, penne, rose sauce, broccoli, black olives, mushrooms. It automatically comes with sliced green peppers and chopped parsley. 2. Opening Special ($6.99) x 2. For the BYOP, they didn't warn me it was medium spicy. I can handle it with a cold drink! The shrimp and penne were perfectly cooked. I loved the rose sauce. My choices of broccoli,  black olives, and mushrooms worked well together and with the base. The Opening Special was delicious; the Mac n Cheese part and BBQ Chicken were really good! Unfortunately, the BBQ was mildly spicy, and my son didn't like it; more for me! The customer service was good. It took them a long time to prepare the food (there were many orders prior to mine). But it was opening day, so hopefully, they will speed up their cooking. There is no free WiFi. The food stall is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-014

It seems that everyone knows or has heard of this place - a trendy Japanese-Peruvian restaurant with extremely photogenic visuals. So, we went in with high expectations. The food was overall good (but somewhat short of exceptional) and offered quite a variety of fun and interesting flavours. My personal favourites were: shishito peppers, yellowtail sashimi, salmon tostada. The miso cod is much recommended and praised but to me was just a little overrated (see high expectations above). The sushi was mostly alright to me - there were some delightful combinations but also some that just fell flat. The most disappointing part was the dessert, I really hated the terribly sweet matcha crepe cake which tasted of sugar and not much else! With respect to drinks, I tried one of their mocktails, the "Flor De La Pasión", which was quite good BUT very difficult to drink - too much ice. Service was absolutely fantastic - all of the staff without exception were attentive, friendly, and helpful. The operations are well organized and food and drinks arrived promptly. The interior is spacious and comfortable and beautiful. However, I do wish they'd improve the labelling of their washrooms. The area is dimly lit and the signage is small and ambiguous. I know of several people who almost walked right into the wrong one and only stopped when they saw the actual people in the washrooms - very awkward!! 3.5 rounded down because it's expensive :)
