    Samosa Chaat
    David Y.

    Strong flavours and tasty food, extensive and varied menu, exceptional service, and reasonable prices. Menali is a great addition to the neighborhood and a definite hit. Stopped by for lunch and tried a whole bunch of stuff: - Papadam: Crispy and crunchy, served with a tarty dipping sauce. - Samosa Chaat: A medley of different things, with the crumbled samosa, chickpea, and tangy chutney being my favourite parts. - Chili Prawn: Good sized prawns in a supercharged spicy-sweet sauce. - Shrimp Dopiaza: Yes there was shrimp, but the thick curry-like sauce was the star. Amazing to dip the butter naan (which was fluffy and fresh) in. - Gajar Ka Halwa: Carrot pudding that was delightfully not-too-sweet. - Kheer: Creamy and cool dessert, a nice contrast to the rest of the meal. It's a family-run business and it shows with how attentive they are with the service. The chef/owner even stopped by our table to check how things were, and they were very attentive of my wife's needs since she can't take a lot of spice. We will definitely be back because of all the other things on the menu we still want to try, and because of the very welcoming atmosphere of this place.

    I had my Christmas Eve dinner at Dil Tak, and was very pleased by my experience. It was very busy…read morebut the staff managed to help us find comfortable seating and guided us with our order. The service was fast, and asp the ambience is quite nice. We ordered a royal non veg platter which had a mix of apps, such as chicken tikka, haryali chicken, fish, seekh kebab and shrimps. This platter was served with three dips - mint, Kali mirch, and tamarind. This platter was a burst of flavours are paired well with the dips and also was very filling. We also ordered mains where we tried the Chicken Tikka paired with the special naan. The mains chicken was okay but I loved the grilled platter before. Overall it was a very nice experience and the food presentation and taste was top quality. I'll highly recommend it to anyone looking for Indian cusine in downtown Toronto!!

    Lunch combos are offered starting Jun 2025, from 11:00-15:00. You can choose between vegetarian…read more($18.99) and non-veg ($20.99). From each category, you can choose 2 different curries (or double the same). Every combo comes with Salad, Basmati Rice, Papad, 2 pcs of any veg appetizer, dessert, and Butter Naan or Roti. They also have lunchtime cocktails ($17.99) and mocktails ($12.99). I ordered the following: 1. Lunch Combo non-veg ($20.99): Mango Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Salad, Basmati Rice, Papad, Veg Pakora, Gulab Jamun, and Butter Naan. 2. Rose and Lavender Spritz ($12.99). The lunch combo was delicious and worth the price. The mocktail was also refreshing and beautiful. The customer service was good as usual. Review 2025-239

    Absolutely delicious food here! Ordered pickup and we didn't even know it was a Michelin guide…read morerestaurant until we entered. No wonder everything was so lovely. They gave us a whole garlic naan as it is uncut in the foil and that was very impressive! Really cool that they did that cuz most restaurants just cut it up and give it to you if you want it to go. Naan itself was very fresh and flavorful. They didn't really put any butter on top which was quite nice. So just a classic lovely garlic naan. Dahi Kebab appetizer - so yum! It was really flavorful on its own, and with that mint chutney it was even better! Husband loved the Malai Kofta ! Curry was properly creamy and even the koftas themselves were good. I needed it a little spicy so added a bit of spice to it and it was perfect. They also had a promotion going on for free samosas with an order of $50 or more. So they gave us four samosas on the house! So nice of them. Husband definitely enjoyed these.

    For a Michelin recommended place we expected more from the meal. Service was slow and we had to ask…read moretwo different staff members just to get some water. The food itself was good, but I had issues with each. The biryani was flavorful, but had a bit too much salt and meet at the yoghurt sauce to balance it out. The curry that came with the fish was delicious, however, the type of fish they used had so many bones and it was impossible to figure out under the thick orange sauce if what you were putting in your mouth was all bone or fish. It made for a very unpleasant eating experience for a person use to eating fresh fish. Worth a try but won't be back

    Nestled in the historic St. Lawrence neighbourhood, Urban Maharajas presents itself with an…read moreunmistakable air of grandeur -- and largely delivers on the promise. The interior is nothing short of opulent: rich earthy tones, elegant dark green accents, and warm ambient lighting conspire to create a dining room that feels both regal and inviting, a space where one might genuinely dine as royalty. The kitchen demonstrates real command of Indian cuisine. Flavours arrive bold, layered, and unapologetically intense -- each dish speaking with the confidence of a well-rehearsed tradition. The breads, in particular, deserve special mention: naan emerges from the tandoor piping hot, beautifully blistered with charred grill marks, and with a texture that is at once pillowy and satisfyingly crisp. One could make a meal of the bread alone and leave content. Where the experience falters slightly is in pacing. A midweek lunch -- the dining room far from full -- still saw dishes arrive at a leisurely tempo more suited to a languid evening affair than a working professional's lunch hour. For a restaurant of this calibre, tightening the rhythm of service during daytime covers would elevate the experience considerably. That said, the wait is not without reward. What emerges from the kitchen is genuinely exceptional -- the sort of cooking that lingers in memory. Urban Maharajas is a destination that honours its namesake: lavish, flavourful, and fit for royalty. One simply hopes the court learns to keep pace with its guests.

    We decided to spend New Year's '26 in Toronto and my husband found Urban Maharajas a few days…read morebefore we left. What a great find! First of all the service was wonderful. Helpful, efficient, very nice! The restaurant itself is a modern space beautifully decorated. We ordered an app, two mains, garlic naan, and some rice. The mains were butter chicken and a goat curry both medium spice level. That worked well for us--medium let you know it was there without blowing out your tastebuds. We both ordered mango lassi, not too sweet, the dairy is a good counterpoint to the spice, the flavor was great. But I'm saving the best for last, the appetizer. The pani poori shots were amazing. Six crispy little puffs filled with chick peas, potato, and tamarind chutney set atop shot glasses containing a spicy "water". We were instructed to pour the contents of the shot glass into each puff and eat the whole thing in one bite. Wow! Incredible flavors and overall eating experience! I only regret not ordering three more plates of these! This was a lovely experience on a frigid cold New Year's night!
