We came on a Sunday night and was surprised it was quiet at 7pm. We wanted to have Indian buffet but they only have it for lunch. Anyways, we did their a la cart menu was it was yummy! We ordered Onion Bhaji fritters, Tandoori Chicken, Baigan Bharta (eggplant), Butter Chicken, and Shrimp Biryani. Everything tasted good but definitely spicy! Service was friendly and space is good for families. read more

Sadly I see that Mayur has closed. Will miss this great family run business. They're meals were always an exceptionally special treat

Mayur Fine Indian Cuisine is a must-try establishment specializing in North Indian Cuisine. Their newly re-opened weekend brunch buffet resumed in late-May, after being temporarily closed due to the pandemic. Upon entering I was greeted by eager staff and Chef Ram himself. They seated me at a table and confirmed if I was there for the lunch buffet. The personable staff offered to bring drinks and ushered me decent buffet offerings were beyond expectations. The buffet consisted of both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian options including a salad bar, Achar (pickles), Dahi / Raita (yogurt / with cucumbers), Chutney, Veggie Samosa, Onion Bhaji, Vegetable Pakora, Fish Pakora, Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Paneer Tikka Masala, Dal Tadka, Mutton Curry, Chana Masala, Jeera Aloo, Basmati Rice, and Naan. While I was disappointed there was no Saag Paneer on the lunch buffet, there were plenty of other vegetable options available such as Vegetable Jalfrezi (Mixed vegetables cooked with onions, tomatoes, green peppers, and spices). For dessert there was Gulab Jamun, Kheer and fruit. Chef Ram has over 35 years of experience perfecting his secret recipes which delight customers daily. Glad to have visited such a fine establishment. read more

6 pieces of chicken and pure sauce. I had to call the restaurant to ask them what's going on. Then they called me saying the Uber driver must have eaten it out. Not true because the sauce would have been lower. Sauce was filled to brim. The audacity! I do not recommend. Not simply because of the amount but the blatant lie! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for their lunch buffet on a weekend. I would say the food was average and would not suggest going out of your way to try this. For $13.99 per person, they had a decent variety of dishes, such as butter chicken, tandoori chicken, saag paneer, goat curry, two vegetable curries, vegetable paroka, fried fish pieces, salad etc. When we arrived at ~12:30pm, there were only one other party dining. I have to say we were reluctant to go in....but after fighting for parking in the small stripped plaza, I was determine to give it a try (to make the stress I encountered during parking worth it!). During our meal, 3 more parties joined and there were 2-3 people coming in to pick up take-out. The saag paneer was okay, I like the slightly creamy texture but it lacked the punch of Indian spices. The tandoori chicken had the spices but was a biy dry even though they used dark meat. I think it has been sitting on the hot plate too long. The butter chicken was "meh", as it lacked the aromatic spices. I did taste tomato flavour, possibly from tomato paste/sauce? My favourite dish of the meal was actually the naan! It was served fresh and brought to the table by the waiter. It wasn't oily like most Indian reataurant and it wasn't doughy! Also, I was impressed by the service. There was only one waiter to take care of all the tables, phone calls and billing. Somehow he managed to keep our glasses filled with water and promptly take away our finished plates of food. read more

Mayur Fine Indian Cuisine - Lunch buffet - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We ordered the lamb biryani, the appetizer platter (a bunch of different pakoras), and the butter chicken and a side of jasmine rice. we highly enjoyed it, the only comment i would say was that the chicken was dry. the flavors were highly aromatic and the lamb biryani was a good amount of spice. the butter chicken sauce was very rich and paired very well with the fluffy rice. the pakoras were the only sort of 'meh' items. they were kind of soggy by the time we got them but in hindsight, ordering fried foods for takeout is always a gamble. the paneer pakora was very delicious. read more

Ever since this place opened up, I have been eyeing it every time I've driven by. I finally decided to give the place a try! The outside is in a little bit of a rundown plaza but in the inside it's pretty typical restaurant style. The inside isn't anything to write home about.We ordered straight off the menu but they do offer a lunch buffet! I ended up starting off with the chicken 65. It was different in an undecided if I like it way. The previous chicken 65's in other restaurants I've eaten have always been fried in a way. The chicken here was sauced up. Granted the sauce was alright but it's the one thing I wouldn't order again. Onto the main courses! My husband ordered the butter chicken and naan while I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo with saffron rice. All these dishes were scrumptious! The serving sizes here are pretty reasonable. I ended up with leftovers for the next day and you know what? It was still delicious! Final verdict? I would come here again maybe even take part in the discount on take out services their take out menu says. I mean 10% is 10% right? read more

My lunch buddy, Raj, had a craving for Indian food, buffet style. We like trying different restaurants, so a search through Yelp, Google, and other social media produced a short list within a reasonable proximity. We decided on Mayur Fine Indian Cuisine at Ellesmere and Pharmacy, in Scarborough. Mayur is located in an older plaza with several other restaurants, including Hakka Chinese, Sushi, and Pizza. The parking lot is pretty tight, with very few spots, compared to the potential seating in all the restaurants. The buffet is located near the entrance, making it easy to decide if it's appealing enough to stay for lunch. The steam table had fifteen items, including the always popular butter chicken, tandoori chicken, curry goat, chickpeas, saag paneer, and more. There was a handwritten sign at one end of the buffet that said something about "love food", "don't waste it", or something like that. That explains the size of the small plates. I have no problems with the message. I hate to see food go to waste. I would have preferred a larger plate. The food tasted good. I particularly liked the butter chicken, curry goat, and saag paneer (spinach and cheese). The veggie pakora and onion bhaji were just slightly on the dry side. I imagine they would have been much better if they had just come out of the kitchen. The rest of the food was very good. My grumpy friend wasn't so enthusiastic. Did I mention he was grumpy? For the second day in a row, a server spilled something on me and all over the table. This time, it was a bottle of beer. At least she was genuinely apologetic, a bit embarrassed, and made a good effort to clean up the mess, unlike last night. She did bring a new bottle of beer but she forgot a water glass. As we became more aware of our environment, we realized none of the lights in the restaurant were turned on. There was a lot of light coming in through the front windows but the back of the room was kinda dark. It made table-side photography a little bit more challenging. I think they also forgot to turn on the air conditioning. I was sweating a lot! The heat from the steam table didn't help. Maybe they turned off the lights to lower the heat. Their debit/credit terminal wasn't working, making cash the only payment they could accept. The food deserves a higher rating but the issues mentioned above were too much to ignore. read more

Went here for a casual Sunday dinner. The food was good although the portions were really small. However, we ordered 1 naan and 1 rice and 2 curries and we were both full. The butter chicken was good. Friendly service and the price is $$ - $14 for a small bowl of curry. The lunch buffet here is $12.99 and I think the quality of food is the same. Hence the 3 star. We were expecting more flavour or better taste for the dinner menu. read more

Mayur Fine Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Have ordered from this place before and other dishes are fine. This review is specifically for the Malai Kofta which costs 14 dollars plus tax. All you get for that is a whopping 3 koftas. Thinking perhaps it was a mistake, I called the restaurant but they confirmed that it's indeed their portion and that compared to other restaurants their koftas are large. This review is pretty much a warning that this dish isn't worth the cost. read more

Mayur Fine Indian Cuisine - 3 koftas for $14 - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tried this place for the first time and will definitely come back to try other dishes. Service was friendly from ordering to pickup. Restaurant is clean with lots of COVID-19 precautions. Everything was very flavourful with the right amount of kick (mild). We loved the onion kulcha and saag aloo. The butter chicken is also very nice but towards the end, it felt a bit too sweet. Overall very satisfied. read more

Food was awesome with great hospitality. I recommend everyone to try items like; butter chicken, garlic naan, paneer tikka masala, etc. In this warm welcoming environment with great customer care from Mr. Razu. I love this place. Thank you so much Razu. read more

Disgusting food and disgusting customer service. Their staff doesn't know how to respond to queries. Need to train their staff first.

The all you can eat buffet was decent, food was warm but could have been hot. The service though was terrible. I had to seat myself which is not a problem, but had to ask if we just go ahead and start as after being seated and given water, no-one came to the table to ask if I wanted to get a drink. I got my food, ate it, went back to the buffet table and had to ask for a drink as still no-one had come to the table to check and see how everything was going and if I needed anything. For dessert, I had to ask for a spoon. The ladies at a different table had to go to the cash area and ask for bowls and then again go back and ask for something else, as again no-one was checking to see if anyone needed anything. The Ambiance was below average, the younger gentleman stood at the table near the entrance having a good chat with staff members, the only time he moved was to go clear a table or eat his own meal as I was about to leave the restaurant. The owner was seated at one of the tables having a good long chat with two others, and some rather loud conversations both with them as well as on the phone. It was rather disappointing to see a business owner care so little about how his business is running and the lack of interest in his restaurant patrons, as well as the lack of consideration for patrons eating and not wanting to hear his business phone calls or conversations at such loud volumes. Am doubtful I will return there unless the restaurant is ever under new ownership and run by someone who wants to run a successful restaurant and is considerate of his customers well being while they dine there. read more

I recommend this place 10/10! Some of the best Indian food I've had in a very long time. The chicken biryani has the perfect amount of space the chicken Vindaloo is creamy spicy perfect and the naan so fresh, you'll regret only ordering one order. read more

Picked up from here on New Years as my mother had heard from friends it was worth checking out. Had 2 thalis as well as another combo and the momos. Overall very disappointed mainly due to the price. I can justify the price if the thalis were better than your average Indian place for $10 or under, but I can't say that was the case. Probably the most infuriating part was the portion sizes. They opted to pack in a large portion of rice and skimp on the curries. The momos were also disappointed however to be fair they were veggie and I've never been a fan of veggie momos. read more

This is my favourite Indian spot right now and i find it very hard to find really good Indian spots. Shared it with about 7 people and we all thought it was great! We got take out, we got the butter paneer, butter chicken, tiki masala, Chana masala, samosas, onion Bahji, and garlic naan. Butter chicken was amazing, buttery and flavourful. There just was only about 4-5 small pieces of chicken. No bone though Samosa were the big ones. Garlic naan was huge like a whole one to yourself is a lot. I would go back in a heartbeat, it's my new go-to spot. read more

Ordered from DoorDash for lunch today. Items ordered were Paneer Tikka Masala and whole wheat roti. The food was on time and hot. However the taste was not good at all. The roti wasn't soft nor had any butter on it. Paneer tikka masala was so not flavourful. Please don't eat from here. Feel so unpleasant eating from here. Obviously will not order again from here. read more

Very disgusting.. I was told by the waitress that is fresh food, everything is made in the spot. Came up to be dated food, frozen chicken, the food was cold, externally bad. I would only recommend it you want to hate Indian food. read more

We found this lovely restaurant through a quick yelp search. Absolutely delightful. Our two kids (who are not spice lovers) both are sure it's the best Indian restaurant they've ever been to. We found the depth and richness of the flavours surpassed most Indian food we've eaten out in Canada. We enjoyed the lababdar chicken and jalfrezi as well as the daal makhani. Perfectly spiced, rich, vegetables cooked just to perfection: The garlic naan was so flakey and light. The service was phenomenal, friendly, good recommendations, liberal water top ups. Love this place and we'll be back! read more

First time for lunch today, buffet was $11.99. The restaurant itself is cozy and clean and the buffet table is at the front. Washrooms are decent. Started off with some basmati, butter chicken, onion bhaji (very nice), saag paneer and tandoori chicken. All were ok except for the tandoori chicken which was kind of overdone and a bit dry. Meat in the butter chicken was similar. The waiter came by with fresh naan when I was almost finished my first plate. It was good; hot, a little crispy and not oily. Next I tried the goat curry which was very nice. Finished off with some gulab jamun and ice-cream, very good! Not the best I've had but still a solid place for lunch. read more

I have to say I've had some trouble finding a place that has Indian food to my taste in Toronto but lo and behold this place is almost on my doorstep and it is good. Very good. I went with a party of seven so got to try a number of different dishes and none disappointed. My own meal of Lamb Vindaloo was excellently spiced with just the right amount of lingering heat without being crazy. The servers were all friendly and person looking after our orders was super friendly and helpful despite some members of our group being picky eaters with a hundred questions about the dishes (honestly sometimes I want to slap them). It would easily and deservedly have earned 5 stars for that experience but I feel compelled to drop a star because the lunchtime buffet experience (which I tried first) was not of the same quality. Don't get me wrong, the food was good enough that I organized the dinner, the staff were friendly but the buffet plates were just too damn small and I wasn't invited to make more than one trip... so for the money I didn't think the lunchtime buffet was worth it - I'll certainly go again but it will be a la carte all the way. read more

I had to work late on a Saturday, so my husband and I did a quick search of the area and found this little gem. When we got there it wasn't too busy, but quickly filled up as the night wore one. The food? What we tried was excellent. We ordered the lamb vindaloo and the butter chicken (our "go-to's" when trying a new Indian restaurant) and both were amazing. The naan is excellent - perfectly cooked and the texture light. Even the rice was lovely. We will definitely return. The portion size for the price is also very fair. Service was also wonderful and attentive! read more

I found this restaurant through Yelp and tried it out for dinner. The owners (I think) are from a Nepal as you see a few pictures and artifacts from the country. We ordered Daal Maakhni, Veggie Biryani, lamb and Nanna. The preparations were good although I have tasted better biryanis elsewhere. The lamb was pretty good but made spicy inspite of asking it to be mad mild. Naan was bit oily. The host were nice. Washrooms were clean. Overall, a decent place read more

I'd been eyeing this place since before they opened, and I finally got to try it out! My mother and aunt had been here for their lunch buffet when the price was still $9.99 on weekdays, and my mother said it was good, so I knew it was on my to-try list. We got there at about 12pm, and there were no other customers in the restaurant. That sent up warning signals everywhere. However, service was attentive and friendly, so we stayed and we went to get food from the buffet. I'm glad we did. The food is fresh and hot and delicious. Highlights: Saag paneer - spinach and cheese curry. I'm a sucker for a good saag paneer. This one was mildly spicy, and may have been my favorite dish at Mayur. Butter chicken - I appreciate it when a buffet still takes the time to use tandoori chicken in their butter chicken. I could definitely taste the BBQ flavor of the chicken. Something seemed a tad off about the butter chicken sauce though. It was a tad too...bright? It lacked a flavor depth I was looking for. This is my opinion though. My friend loved it. Goat curry - so flavorful. So tender. So good. Not too spicy. Yogurt - Cuz yogurt takes the edge off of spicy food. One of my friends was worried about the spice, and one of the waitresses was nice enough to recommend that she have the yogurt with her food, and then even walked her to where the yogurt was so she could get some. It worked! Naan - Served in a basket. Hot from the kitchen. Bottom is thin and crispy. Top has lovely air pockets and is soft and fluffy. I used more naan to scoop up all the sauce on my plate than I probably should have eaten in one serving. There are a bunch of chutneys and sauces I didn't try, but they all looked good too. Very good for the price. Can't wait to come again! read more

I had a craving for indian food one day and called in to order. Their delivery guy was away so had to drive in to pick up. Veggie samosas are giant but tasty Garlic naan: good Butter chicken was good. It is a bit spicy, but I liked it. If you are not expecting any spiciness in your butter chicken this is a heads up Saag paneer; good Goat curry: too many bones and the sauce very oily, would not order again Mango lassi: didn't taste right, would not order again Overall food was fine but would not go out of the way to pick up food there. Perhaps lunch buffet is a better value, or when their delivery guy is working Also when picking up order not a singled napkin or utensil was in the bag, so make sure to ask them if it's necessary read more

By far some of the best Indian food I've had! Great value for the price! It was our first time ordering from here so we stuck to our favourite items: garlic naan, butter chicken, and basmati rice. We did pick up. At first we were a bit annoyed about the $5 price tag for the naan but it was HUGE we shared one between two people comfortably. Everything was delicious and filled to the rim! Would highly recommend this place! read more

I live in Scarborough so I was happily surprised by my experience with this new restaurant in west Scarborough. I particularly like north Indian (Punjabi) cuisine but have to trek either to Brampton or to "the Host" in Richmond Hill for a good quality restaurant. Ironically, the chef/owner of "Mayur" (Peacock) previously worked at the Host until he left to open his own restaurant this past month. I tried the goat roganjosh and dahl maknee (butter lentils) which were rich and fabulous. They were expertly prepared using fresh good quality meat, vegetable and spice ingredients. I'm usually quite fussy about the tandoori naan but was not disappointed as it was freshly made locally (and not brought in and re-heated by some other Indian restaurants). The restaurant is clean and well kept with a good colorful atmosphere. Service is attentive and excellent. On a side note - Although the chef worked for many years in Delhi, he is actually from Nepal - to my untrained taste buds - it is factored into the cuisine. I had this dinner there was last week. This week I returned for their daily $9.99 lunch buffet special which was fabulous and excellent value. It had tandoori chicken, butter chicken, dahl(lentils), mutter paneer (peas and cheese), sag (spinich) and channa (chick peas). Rice and fresh naans were also provided (along with fresh fruits, gulab jamin - honey dumpling and kyr - rice pudding for dessert). read more

We had the lunch buffet on a sunday and it was great. For 13.99 plus taxes they have a good spread of food and everything was well cooked and not too spicy, more like home cooked Indian food. I strongly recommend this place read more

I tried their chicken pakora. They were basically chicken nuggets fried in an Indian spiced batter. The chicken was overcooked and tough. It seems the chef doesn't know to cook chicken breast. Their description of "tenderly cooked" isn't entirely accurate. Their food is in my opinion, highly overpriced. $10.95 for dal? $15.95 for biryani? Even the most lavish restaurants don't charge near as much. I have had much larger pieces of tandoori chicken breast, truly prepared tenderly, that cost about the same or less than these greasy versions of chicken nuggets. I have also had chicken pakora from other restaurants that are better prepared, more flavourful, and not nearly as greasy, in this same neighbourhood. Their response was to argumentatively try to justify the price by telling me that the special spices make the food that expensive, as if they were introducing a new taste to an unfamiliar and uninformed people, who had never had Indian food before. After that, I did not care to discuss the food quality with them. There are several GOOD Indian restaurants that I have frequented in the neighborhood that have food that is far superior in preparation and taste, and that are not haughty. I shall not be eating there again. read more

Mayur has the best indian food in the city! Home cooked traditional indian food with the perfect balance of flavour and spices. Its better than your mom's cooking... (sorry mom) Mayur recently catered my engagement party. Each dish is fresh and has a unique flavour, and the service and staff are courteous and professional. Must try items: Saag Paneer, Goat curry, Butter Chicken, Chicken/paneer Tikka Masala, Bhindi do Pyaza (honestly just pick anything off the menu, you can't go wrong). read more

I went to this restaurant last night with my beautiful new fiancé. Indian is her favourite food and she certainly wasn't disappointed. I have had Indian food about 20 times in my life and this was by far the best. I read the reviews on yelp before going there and got a good sense of the detail and effort that goes into making every dish there. I didn't know the significance of things like: "all the butter chicken is created using tandoori chicken" but the staff members sure explained it to us. Each week they use close to 1000 pounds of tomatoes to prepare the various sauces that go into these delicious meals. Everything about the restaurant was amazing. M read more

The food and service was perfect. Nice little place that food is amazing, and reasonably priced. Quite a nice gem! Highly recommended!

I've eaten here at least 5 times now and this is hands down my favourite Indian restaurant in the city. Don't really understand all the negative reviews as I have only had positive experiences food and service wise and I've been there for lunch, dinner and ordered from uber eats. The naan is the best I've had even compared to in India and my boyfriend who is from there also agrees. It's slightly crispy on the outside but very light and fluffy on the inside. I would agree though that the quality suffers a little when eaten as takeout or delivery. So far I've had the butter chicken, chicken biryani, saag paneer, mixed appetizer platter (fish, chicken, onion, paneer pakora), lamb Rogan josh, and Goan fish curry and honestly all have been excellent. The Goan fish curry and butter chicken are my faves. The paneer also always tastes really fresh and the saag not swimming in oil like some other places. I definitely recommend this place!!! read more

Pretty good food. Laccha parantha was amazing. Quantify of food was ok according to the price too. Quick service.

Holy crap, this place is damn good. Living in Toronto, Chicago and Houston, I've had my fair share of Indian food, but this place is one of the best. The restaurant itself is very nicely laid out and super classy and upscale. The food though is sooo legit, like food coma good. We had the yellow daal, eggplant, saag, bindi and balls of potato and everything was so delicious. The rice is also really good..coming from someone who doesn't really like rice. If you're looking for some legit Indian food, I would highly recommend coming here..it's worth the drive to b-town! Will be back very soon. read more

Whoooooh! Spicy! Love it. Just ordered from these guys. They came sooner than expected, price was fair and quality is good. Good spice, good flavour. My friend and I got the butter chicken and beef vindaloo, with orders garlic and butter naan. The naan is so soft and delicous, and mixes well with the sauce. Portions are good. They deliver. This place is definitely worth a try. I'm ordering from here again - one of their other dishes. read more

Its located on ellesmere rd and pharmacy ave. In a small strip plaza facing staples. Yes they have good parking space and its not a very busy or crowded place. I went with my family and didn't know they only serve buffet in the afternoon. We gave it a try and trust me its a never ending experience. Yes do I prefer to go back yes i will. The food was amazing. Lets talk about the food now, they have limited choices for food but its 13$approx. The good part is they bake fresh naan its not precooked. They also have LLBO section for those who want quench their thirst. In nutshell it is worth going their .. read more
