    We arrived here and were VERY surprised to hear that they were no longer serving tap water. You cannot bring your own, and if you would like a bottle of nestle water is $2 each for 500 ml. As you can see I was not pleased to hear this. Each naan was $3.99, it was a little crispy. The goat curry we ordered was flavourful, and so we're the chicken and paneer. Sweets from the display case are $3.25 each. And other desserts are available on the menu

    First time having halwa puri and it was delicious. Ordered 7 portions and everything was combined to go. I liked mixing the haleem and chana. I can probably do without the halwa but it's a nice sweet touch to the meal.

    Used to visit and always promote the place because of myself belonging to Pakistan. But lately started to notice that the success started to have negative impact on the management. They have started to use tricks to SWINDLE THE CUSTOMERS. The rates are not properly explained on the web. Called for breakfast price and was told $9.49 without explanation of whether dine in or take out. I dined in and at the time was charged $12.99 . When asked to explain I was told it's dine in. Than on top of that 10% service charge and than HST. If the price is already $3.5 more for dine in than what's the logic of 10% service charge? Than quality of food has declined. PURRI has become small. Potatoes being part of breakfast has disappeared. Overall it's a bad experience. Won't consider this place anymore. New options have cropped up all over the town.

    Halwa puri
    Tracy W.

    The best halwa puri I've tried in the Scarborough area. They are very busy, so I always call ahead and order for pick up. Pre-covid it was always hard to get a table for weekend breakfast.

    Update : I went to Nirala today. I love the food no doubt but I realize today it's so expensive. I had three naan with channa. I paid 30 bucks I feel like it's so expensive. 3 naan and chana should not be 30 bucks. Disappointed, based on this I am moving my 4 star review to a 2 star. I always give my reviews with three things in mind..... food, service and environment. Food first we went for breakfast had puri halwa and naan with nihari. Restaurant is little on spicy side. Food is not bad at all. I really like the naan better then puri halwa but over all good food. Service was really good as well. Quick, respectful good people working there had no issues at all. Environment is great, it's clean and nice place to sit and have some quality time. Overall a decent experience. Thanks

    Dahl Chana

    Excellent meal. We were the only ones in the restaurant as it was around 3:45pm and still the food was freshly cooked. We had the lamb biryani, Karachi chicken (boneless), garlic naan and, Dahl Chana. Perfectly spiced. This was quite a big meal considering we were only two persons. Wonderful! Definitely will return. Service was excellent too!

    Aside from my traditional western breakfast, our family decided to try Indian/ Pakistani. Nirala has been here for some time, though the interior is basic, they can surely cook up a storm whether it be dine-in, take out, or sweets! You can sometimes find yourself waiting in line especially on weekends during early to late breakfast hours. Their traditional breakfast served on a stainless steel food tray, called Thali. We had their homemade halwa, channa (chick pea), pickles, yogurt all served with a puri (small roti). On the side we also ordered their Nihari gravy curry which was also served with fresh naans that were delicious. Probably one of the best nihari's I've ever had. Overall the place isn't fancy but if you're looking for good Indian / Pakistani food do try this place!

    My Fav place for Halwa poori nashta. The owner is a really nice man and the staff is really friendly too. This is my fav place to go with my whole family.

    Can't get to Pakistan and need real Pakistani Nihari with Naan? Look no further this is real deal. Biryani places are dime a dozen Toronto but if you are craving for real stuff try their Veal Biryani. Best front desk staff and Owner Awan is so welcoming and courteous. Prices are comparable to other restaurants in town.

    They have the best halwa puri. This place is usually packed for breakfast. They have fast service. Sometimes depending on the time there is a line up but it's definitely worth the wait.

    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!

I won't lie, I was overwhelmed at first on what to pick, so I highly recommend going with a group so you can try a bit of everything. The portion sizes are great, we had so much leftover! The variety is so nice. Taste wise, every dish had my heart. It was all packed with flavour and tasted authentic. The stars for me were the Paneer Chettinad and Parotta with Kurma. Atmosphere -5/5 The interior of this place is insane! It feels like walking into an emperor's house! All the walls have paintings of hindu gods, and the restaurant is decorated so well. It's pretty big so perfect for smaller or larger groups. I'd try to get a reservation on busier nights. Service - 5/5 The staff is super helpful ! We asked a lot of question on what to order and they were so helpful. They would check in on us to, when it's super busy it happened less frequently but totally understandable. Will I go again?

Everything was done through online ordering where my payment was taken, and when I went in store to pay I was told they never received my payment and tried to charge me twice. Overall the service here for both in person and take out, is not the greatest. Wait times are long and the staff is not very attentive. When it comes to the food, it's okay. I have ordered the Charminar Veg Dum Biryani would not recommend. Previously have also ordered their Chana Masala and Gopi Manchurian which is decent.

The Good I had the Goat Biryani Combo from their lunch menu and it was very filling and delicious! It actually included two chicken side dishes, naan, raita, salan, and dessert, making this combo a great value. It was also very filling! The Bad The actual price of the meal was $3.00 more than stated on their menu. Their menu is online and you have to scan a QR code pasted to the table to view it on your mobile phone. Hmmm, suppose you didn't have a phone, or an app to read the QR code? How would I know if I was being scammed by my server? The Not So Great The restaurant is large, obviously two units. One side is very dark and the other side brightly lit. Decor is very stark. Very! The wall surfaces are hard so you could easily hear every word of every conversation taking place in the restaurant. I was seated at a round table that had four place settings but the extra settings were not removed when I was seated. How long had they been there? There was also a pitcher of water (room temperature) on each table. How long has that been there? All the plates were noticeably chipped. This is the most upscale looking Charminar I've been to but they have a lot to learn about service. My experience at their other locations was far better! At least I enjoyed the food. PS - I never got the dessert.

They give you a complimentary snack, in a form of potato sticks (not entirely sure what it was). To start: - Samosa 10/10 They were huge! Perfectly fried and stuffed with spiced potatoes and green peas. Came with a green and red chutney. Green chutney was refreshing while the red chutney was sweet and spicy! - Pani Puri Shots 10/10 Great presentation on this, shots of green mint and tamarind water, topped with mini poori with chickpeas and potatoes. Loved the way they served this as a shot, it was packed with flavour and exploded with the refreshing mind and tamarind water in the mouth once you ate it. Mains: - Butter chicken 8/10 Was buttery and smooth in texture and loaded with chicken. It definitely was lacking something in the flavour that I couldn't pin point, but still a great easy option for anyone that doesn't like too much spice. - Garlic naan 10/10 Huge! And can't go wrong with this to pair with your butter chicken. - Goat curry 9/10 Packed with delicious spices and had a huge kick of heat to it, so be aware! It's a young goat dish slowly simmered in a rich Indian gravy/ curry. Highly recommend to eat this with some rice. Can't wait to come back when I'm having that Indian food craving! The newly renovated interior itself is a winner!
