    chilli chicken...different than anything I tried
    Shaheed S.

    Hole in the wall that has been a staple in the east end of Toronto for some time. Place looks like your back in the 90's. However their staple item the masala chicken was wonderful. Had a ton of flavor and very spicy. I get why people with a spicy pallete flock to this place.

    Mutton kothu roti Boneless $8
    Sam L.

    Summary: good portion size, good price, and solid homemade quality make this family run restaurant a constant for locals despite the long wait times, drabby looking decor/location What I've Got: Garam Chicken Masala, roti, shrimp noodles, mutton roll, roti, kothu roti (mutton, vegetarian) What I Liked: KOTHU ROTI. Mutton roll was alright What I Didn't: garam chicken masala What I'll Get Next: kothu roti This restaurant is located a stone's throw from Woodside square, in the bleaker looking plaza. Looks can be deceiving, though: while this doesn't scream out "family friendly", it's got a great following and with good reason. The food is good, and the value is really solid. Service? Well, they're understaffed. Wait times? Not great - they're understaffed. Decor? Bare bones BUT THE KOTHU ROTI? On point. DON'T COME HUNGRY. Expect to wait 20-30 minutes after ordering for the food. We came on a Sunday evening around 8:30 pm and got two kothu roti dishes. It took over half an hour, although there were about 8 tables/12 people and only two staff (including one chef) But once the food got there, I was one happy camper. Kothu roti for both the vegetarian and mutton options were REALLY good. Tasty mix of bread with sufficient meat. Mild is actually mild, and probably my favourite amount of spice, properly done, in a kothu dish that I've had (other places make mild taste like nothing, or make it taste like Armageddon). The mutton rolls and roti at $1 a piece are fun to try, but aren't particularly special. Shrimp noodles were okay. They take credit AND they stay open late. All in all, a really solid kothu roti place - and more to try on the menu.

    This place is great for late night eats. Consistency could be a lot better but it is good.

It's a small hole in the wall kind of store selling Hyderabad specialities. We decided to try chicken Biriyani here along with Tandoori masala. Both the dishes were pretty bland and felt completely flavorless. I also found lot of people queuing up for hot chai while they ordered their dinner/ lunch from nearby. We also tried that hot chai and it was the best. May be chai is one of the few reasons this restaurant manages to get customers inside its doors amongst heavy competition.

    Sorry I was too hungry so I didn't take any photos :( I am upset because it was ALL so delicious…read more This is what I ordered: Special Biryani (which comes with a bunch of chicken 65 and three pieces of biryani chicken) - spicy, delicious, so much food only for $12!! The rice to meat ratio is wild! I was actually missing some rice haha for the first time, I wish there was more rice because they are very generous with meat portions Haryali Chicken - I thought this was a BBQ dish but it was a gravy dish which was well made. The flavour notes were mint, cilantro and cream. So great! I've never had Haryali Chicken in a gravy style dish. Mutton Haleem - we liked this as well. It's not as stringy as some other places. You can definitely taste the mutton flavour here! Naan - can't go wrong with naan! It's super fresh, fluffyyyy and hot! While we waited for our order, I chatted briefly with the owner. He was really nice. He even offered us some Irani Chai, a welcome treat in the cold winter. We waited outside while drinking hot chai sweetened with condense milk (yum!!). He didn't let us pay for the chai which was a very kind gesture! COVID: Masks on for guests and staff are being a glass/plastic barrier, no masks on staff.

You can get place a large samosa order the same day. - This eatery is on DoorDash, Skip the Dishes, and Uber Eats. On Saturday, I dropped by Samosa Fusion to check out its all-day buffet. We were a fairly large group of twelve hungry folks wanting a brunch feast! Staff were busy getting all hot foods to the buffet, so we had to wait a while before we could dive in. Staff were extremely hard-working. There were a few details that could use some improvement. We didn't get any water while we waited for the food to be set up at the buffet. I was getting thirsty and asked for water. I got a glass and the owner apologized. We then got pitchers of water throughout our meal, which was much needed! The buffet has a lot of good eats. It's decently priced for what you get. The carvery had tandoori chicken stuff with biryani. It also had devilled eggs and what looked like chicken stuffed with greens that I never got around to trying. I went for the curries: - Goat - Butter chicken - Aloo matar - Chana masala The last three were fantastic. They were flavourful and yummy. The goat was tender, but it was extremely gamey. I got biryani and veggie chow mein. The former was an excellent base for the curries. The latter was a nice change-up option. The chow mein was delicious. I got cucumber and tomato slices. They were refreshing. There were also sliced carrots and more in a tray. I ended up getting one of the passion salad bowls. The potatoes, peas, pineapple chunks, green beans, and more were so good. I wish that the buffet had more fruit. Pineapple was the only fruit in the salad and in the pineapple raita. The latter was nice, but the pineapple chunks were small. I am a fruit person, so it may have been fine for someone who isn't as enthusiastic about fruit as I am. I got a samosa. It was huge! It was stuffed with a lot of potatoes. I enjoyed it. As an aside, HK Garden next door and Samosa Fusion are owned by the same folks. The same samosas are available at both locations. If you need samosas for a catering event, staff can do it the same day. I asked whether they needed a day's notice. Nope, they made 500 for hungry Home Depot employees in a couple of hours or so. Wow! We also got naan. It was hot and perfect with the curries. There were a couple of dessert items. I am always a fan of pudding. The bread butter pudding was superb. The chopped almonds provided a nice contrast to the yummy pudding. I am fortunate to not have any nut allergies. However, a note about nuts would be helpful to those with severe nut allergies. I did appreciate that staff labelled the names of everything at the buffet. It's located in a fairly busy plaza. On a Saturday afternoon, I got a parking spot fairly close to the restaurant. This eatery is on Skip the Dishes, Uber Eats, and DoorDash. It's good to know. I had a good time here with friends. I'd return for more good eats. (122)

Although only one of us was vegetarian, we all decided to try this place. That's the type of friendship we have. We support each other. I'm glad we decided to do this because the food was actually quite good. I personally didn't miss having meat. I don't think any of us did. The delicious flavours of the food had us all more than satisfied. The menu at this place is huge, with tons of choices and options. It took us a while to decide on what to order. There was some confusion when the food arrived because we couldn't remember what we ordered and we didn't know what the dishes are supposed to look like but we eventually got it all sorted out. Whether you're a vegetarian, or just want to try vegetarian dishes, make your way over to Saravanaa Bhavan. They have several locations in the GTA.

Oh well! Samosa World is actually in the food court, and I think the Google Maps hours might be off since they seem to open closer to noon. During these high-inflation times, their prices are a steal! Samosas are 2-3 for $1, and rolls are $1 each. While the meat samosas do have a lot of potato in the filling, I really can't complain at this price point. Everything had a nice slight spicy kick to it. I'll definitely be stopping by again!

Decor isn't really anything to write home about, it's not why we came here. The roti canai was super delicious. Roti was flaky and buttery, the curry nicely spiced and waiting to be sopped up by the roti. The Indonesian fried rice was recommended by the staff and it didn't disappoint. Char Kwei Teow was nice, the wok hei was very apparent here as well as the Kang Kung Belacan (water spinach). The hainanese chicken while tasty was very bony (menu said it had bones).

There were a lot of ingredients: cabbage, carrot, choy sum, shrimp, chicken, fish cake & squid. The squid was quite rubbery. The fish cake was not springy. There was a lot of it, maybe to replicate the look even if not the taste & texture of pork. Apam balik was good: pretty thin & crispy, though stickier than average. The filling was quite generous & tasty but the peanuts were pale & tasted a bit raw. Ayam percik: the chicken itself was very tender & juicy & pretty tasty. The curry was rich but a little generic. Char kway teow was good: quite flavourful though it could have a stronger flavour. There was some wok hei. The fish cake was slightly springy & there was quite a bit of squid. There were some chives but they don't serve it on a banana leaf anymore. Fried squid in nonya sauce was pretty tasty & quite spicy. It'd be better with okra or eggplant, not peppers. There was quite a bit of dried shrimp in it (fried squid is stir fried & crispy squid deep fried). Chicken rice rice was pretty good: moist enough & quite gingery. The chicken flavour could be stronger. Chendol was pretty good with rich palm sugar & coconut milk. There were green worms & grass jelly but no red bean. Nonya kueh was pretty good: they looked dodge but tasted about right though they were a bit soft. They have 2 versions of Nasi Lemak. The more expensive version has curry chicken, keropok & peanuts unlike the economy version (which does come with a banana leaf, though). The rice was not very fragrant but the curry was very rich so the smell kind of made up for it. It was not super tasty but was above average & moist enough. The curry was tasty & very rich but had a lot of bone fragments & was annoying to eat; the majority of mouthfuls had at least 1 bone fragment. It is a bad idea to put the curry & peanuts in your mouth at the same time. Sambal had a lot of ikan bilis with some onion but little liquid. It was pretty good though if you like to put it as a paste on your rice you will be disappointed. Keropok was very crispy & pretty tasty.
