We were looking for late night take out spot when we found this. We just got the paneer tikka…read moremasala - which is a medium spicy gravy with paneer that's made in tikka style. Most of the prices are under 15$ and quantity and quality is good. They make food on order which is why we got fresh food even at midnight. It's a great Indian spot and feels familiar. The staff is really friendly and makes you feel welcomed. This is a cozy space. Although we didn't get it that day, my family also loves tawa chicken from here and this is great family place!!

This is definitely a hidden gem. Chole Bhature is highly recommended, the Bhature is fried crispy…read moregolden brown with a chewy airy white dough inside. The Chole (Chickpeas) was well flavoured as well - and the meal paired perfectly with a glass of Coke. The Butter Chicken and Naan were also delicious. Large chunks of chicken, flavourful tomato sauce, with not too much cream and tons of flavour. The garlic naan was light and crispy. Ambiance could use some work, but service was good. We found it a little cold inside during the winter. I would return again!

It is very easy to drive passed this place, as it is in an industrial area and a non descript…read moreplaza. But there's a decent amount of parking and it's clearly a popular place with a steady stream of people getting take out during dinner. There's a small grocery section and a butcher area, but when we were there, people were only getting take out. There's a decent amount of choice in the hot table (almost all meat). Although we did end up heating our food back up, as I didn't feel it was hot enough. The naan was freshly made. We ordered two curries, a biryani, naan and gulab jamun. Everything was delicious. Very flavourful and had a decent amount of heat without being overwhelming. I'd say a medium level for those who enjoy heat. The quality and amount of food was very good for the price. What puts this place at a five star rating is the customer service. They are efficient and friendly. The place was clean and they pack everything very well, so nothing spills out. I also appreciated how they followed COVID protocols (they have a barrier by the hot table and I saw the owner ask someone to step back when they walked over it). Lastly, they ended up giving us a free vegetable dish, which was tasier than I expected. So all in all, we're happy with our find and will be back when we are craving Pakistani food!

Note: They often sell out of biryani, so try to go earlier on in the day to avoid disappointment…read more I *always* forget about this place...until today! Considering the area, it's the best value-for-taste in regards to Indian (Pakistani) takeout. If you prefer just to eat in the comfort of your own home as opposed to dining in somewhere and paying premium prices + taxes + tips, then Shaheen is for you! I got a Chicken Biryani + 1 small Chicken Karahi + 1 medium veg pakoras in yogurt sauce and it was ~$22. This will feed 3-4ppl. Again, much better deal than an Indian restaurant. Since this is a grocery store + hot table + butcher, the chicken was soo tender. Not old and hard as with other places. Girl behind counter was very friendly! She also stated that dishes are kept at Medium-Spicy, and that wasn't an exaggeration. So if you're sensitive to spices, I'd ask before I buy! But I think this is a good thing as opposed to watered-down food. Again, great "bang for your buck" if you're looking for a Pakistani takeout!

My friend and I had a really strong naan craving and without much knowledge of the Indian food…read morescene nearby, we based our decision on pictures of naan. Desi Pakawan stood out the most and we were not disappointed. We ordered butter chicken, shrimp biryani and two orders of naan to share (just enough for 2 girls). Everything was full of flavour with a kick, and freshly made (seeing the flames in their open kitchen). Worked out to be $30 per person so highly recommend checking this spot out. There's a parking lot but the restaurant is located down the stairs.

I visited here for brunch with a friend and also came back here for late night takeout. Keep in…read moremind, lunch/brunch is only available in the weekends and they are one of the few independent businesses that open late in this area. Ample seating and even outdoor patio seating with string lights adding to the ambiance. I love the Chicken 65. It's tangy and very appetizing. All the curries I had were delicious. I tried the coconut chicken curry (has a bit of a kick) and also at another occasion the cashew curry for takeout, which was recommended by the staff. I think I preferred the cashew curry a bit more and it's less spicy too. It's also halal too if it matters to you. I would definitely recommend as there so many different type of curries and hakka dishes to try. Staff was also very friendly. It was late into the evening when I came in and ordered takeout and waited. The staff made small talk with me while I waited and even voided the tip, which is rare in the service industry these days.

This is a small location with few seats. We tried Mumbai style Mysore Masala Dosa, Onion Tomato…read moreUttappam, Butter Paneer Dosa and Filter Coffee. The dosas were okay, the sambar and chutney could have been better. There are lot of better places to try in Scarborough area. The service was good, they have a nice appreciation board.

Small location for Dosa. If you like spice you'll like this. They have both plain and spicy Dosa,…read moreso something for everyone. The servers seemed a bit surprised we came to eat in. Maybe it's more typical to get to-go. One server also just seemed confused in general. Overall the food is solid. Very crispy and flavours on point. Not a bad option for a quick snack craving. On a side note I did appreciate the vibe of the Indian music videos playing in the background on the TV.

Guys this place is awesome! Where else can you find a literal BUFFET serving fresh, hot food for…read more$15 and open until 4am on the weekends? Up until my most recent visit I've only ever ordered dosas a la carte and always thought the food was great just a little pricey for the portion. HOWEVER I realized you could literally opt for the buffet option and get unlimited dosas and curries. Even if you're not here to feast or only want dosas, you will get double your money's worth by the second round. Sure, there are some things that aren't available like roti, cheese dosa, chicken tikka, etc. but you have so many options to choose from that make up for it. You have a pretty reasonable selection ranging from over 3 different rice dishes, noodles, over 5 curries both veg and non-veg like mung beans, chickpeas, potatoes, chicken, goat, paneer, etc. made fresh to order dosas and naan! They also have tandoor dishes, different chutneys, and namkeen. For dessert they had gulab jamun and suji halwa, although I'm not sure if they rotate dessert options. I could go on and on about how great of a deal this is but I'm sure you get the point. The pictures I uploaded aren't the best but hopefully it provides a general idea as to how much bang for your buck you get. This is a great option especially for those who work night shifts or are on a budget, but of course anyone else looking for some late night grub would have a good experience. The staff here are also very friendly and hardworking with a smile on their face. To clarify: This buffet is only available on weekends, with last call happening around 2-2:30am. On Fridays, the buffet opens at midnight, and Saturday/Sunday opens at 11am.

Saffron Mahal is a wonderfully cozy family owned and operated restaurant that did not disappoint…read more We had a delicious meal and enjoyed every bite. Masala papad, dahi puri, samosa chana, lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka, biryani, garlic cheese naan- everything was phenomenal. We cannot recommend this spot enough and we can't wait to return on our next trip to Toronto! ** Important to make reservations when you can (especially for a group of 6 like we had) to avoid a long wait. The pace of the meal is perfect because you can feel the intention they put behind their food- but if you're starving it will feel too slow!

Everything is delicious! Don't go alone!…read more Each order is around 18.00, with naan and rice ranging from 3 to 7 dollars. One naan and one curry will feed two people. But, you can't resist the Momo's, so grab them and accept that you'll need to take a lot home with you. Medium spice is very reasonable, so don't worry about ordering that. Just worry about how you're going to fit all that food into you. The mixed pickles are a great contrast and break up the flavors. And, should you be wondering if the carrot pudding is any good, let me assure you that it is. If you're craving Indian food, the menu is very extensive. But, seriously, don't go alone.

Authentic Kolkata Bengali food serving restaurant in Mississauga. The ambiance is done in a 1900s…read more"zamindari" theme which is why the name. Interior is well done but the space is too small so it feels a little crammy. Food used to be really good when they started out but the prices of certain items have increased without meeting the taste which is disappointing. Fish fry sizes have become really small and charging $15.99 for two is a little too much IMO. The only reason I keep going back to this place is because there's no other restaurants that serves specialty Kolkata food like they do.

Great service and delicious food! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family…read more Mr. George provided excellent service. He knows the menu inside and out and gave us really helpful recommendations. We had a wonderful dining experience and truly enjoyed our food. Thank you, Mr. George, for making our visit so enjoyable!

I got a chance to try out Annalakshmi in Scarborough for a family dinner! This is a pure vegetarian…read moreSouth Indian restaurant with so many items on their menu. It is quite spacious and has a lot of seating to come dine in but does also do take out options. The staff is quite slow here to come take your food and even for your food to come out, so be prepared for that! It took quite some time for one of my friend's dishes to come out while the rest of us had even finished eating. But the staff are very nice and we were seated quite quickly, on the plus side. When it came to the food, everything was pretty good!! We got quite a few appetizers including: Gopi 65 (which was delicious), Chili Idli (would come back just for this) and the Bhaaji. And for our entrees we got the Garlic Parotta with Kurma (would pass on this), Paneer Biryani (was okay), Paneer Masala Dosa (was good) the Mushroom Uthapam (was good) and the Chili Parotta (would pass on this). Overall the food was good, definitely had some dishes I would come back for. If you're looking for some South Indian food in Scarborough I would recommend! 7/10 Recommend!
