Was lazy today and wanted to order via Uber Eats. I realized I haven't had Indian food in a very…read morelong time so I saw this place on Uber and decided to give it a try. I ordered the Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Biryani and garlic naan. All three were amazing. The single order of naan was more like a double order anywhere else and was very fresh and packed with flavour. The chicken Biryani was the best I've ever had and the portion was huge and I'll be eating it for 3 more meals for sure. Lamb Vindaloo was also ace. Big chunks of meat with potatoes in a very flavourful sauce. The only thing I'd change is the spice level. It's marked as spicy but I didn't find it that spicy for me(def had kick though) this is a personal thing and next time I'll ask to kick up the heat a bit. Overall it was a great experience and I now have a go to place whenever I'm craving Indian food. Can't wait to try more off the menu.

February 6, 2026 - Probably my favorite Indian restaurant. We got the Pani Puri and dry chili…read moreshrimp for appetizers. The main were curry goat, Rogan Josh beef and butter chicken, aloo Gobi, baingan Barta, and vegetable curry. We also got sides of rice and naan. The appetizers we good too. Definitely a distinct taste. The Pani Puri sauce was cold and you had to eat it quick as the shell melted in your mouth. The dry chili shrimp was a bit spice, but very well flavoured. The basmati rice is also very well made. Firm and easy to eat. All the curries were very distinctly seasoned, each bringing a slightly different flavour to the table. My favourites are the Rogan Josh and the aloo Gobi.

I'm not often in the area, but I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for Caribbean food in the west end!

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.

Dum Pukht Yonge is an elegant Indian restaurant located right by Sheppard-Yonge Station; it's…read moreaccessible by subway line 1 and 4 and if you're driving, there's parking available behind the restaurant (with reasonable price). It's known for using the traditional dum pukht slow‑cooking method, which brings out deep, rich flavours in dishes like biryani and curries. The space is cozy yet refined, making it a comfortable spot for anything from a casual dinner to a special night out. The menu offers a wide range of options, including vegetarian choices and allergy‑friendly dishes, all made with fresh, high‑quality ingredients. We ordered "Broccoli Steak Mustard Glaze " for appetizer, "Dal Panchratni" and "Chicken Tikka Masala" for main and paired our meal with "Tropical Oasis" and "Sex on the Beach". We finished our meal with "Nest Rasmalai" for dessert. Our food was flavorful and beautifully served. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Here's what we had: * Broccoli Soup * Lasooni Tangdi (Chicken) * Lamb Nawabi * Dum Pukht Veg Biryani * Goan Curry Fish * Laal Maas (Goat Curry) * Garlic Naan * Shai Tukda (Dessert) The food was pretty good, with rich flavours, bright colours, and attractive presentation, especially the dessert, with foggy dry ice creating a nice aesthetic. I also had the chance to photograph other dishes. Everything looked great! Service was understandably slow for a packed house but live performers kept us entertained, with dancers and a musician circulating through the dining room. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening out with a friend. 4.5/5.0

We had the appetizer platter, the tandoori platter, the masala dosa, beef rogan josh, and fish madras. You order rice and naan separately, so we ordered one rice and two naan for four people. I can't recommend the appetizer platter and tandoori platter enough!! You get so much for the price and get to try a bit of everything. The appetizer platter came loaded with various fried goodies. I loved the freshly made samosas. The tandoori platter was the highlight of the meal for me as each type of meat was cooked so well, full of their distinct flavors but still moist and tender. It came in a sizzling smoking hot to the table and we devoured it. The two curries were also delicious, but were overshadowed by my love of the tandoori.

They have one person that rings you out and another that cashes you out . Food: it is not the worst Indian food I've ever had but it is not the best. Nice alternative to what is offered on York lanes but a bit bland in comparison to authentic Indian food. I assume it is probably to cater to the palate of those on campus.

I have gone to this restaurant several times as a student at York and over the years the quality…read morehas gone down for the most part. First the food - some of their dishes taste really good and are really well prepared. Their food is good in the morning and afternoon but usually stale and cold towards closing hours in the evening. The quality has gone down because their dishes are more watered down now and they giving miserly portions of vegetables/chicken with lots and lots of rice. Second, the staff. This one is a hit and miss. One or two of the employees are generally pleasant to customers but a lot of them are apathetic students, quite a few with attitude problems. So beware and do not be too pleasant for disappointment may be just around the corner. Finally, the atmosphere itself. Love the paintings on the wall and the ambient vibe of the place. The music is usually good with many eclectic songs played from the South-Asian sub-continent. One negative part is that there are just way too many signs clarifying the rules of the place. Signs, for instance, clarifying what kind of food you have to order so you can sit there and eat, or how you can't pay with any pennies or how to eat a wrap. Yes, instructions on how to eat a wrap. I understand that they cater to students but this is the only place on the entire campus with such a large litany of rules. All in all, I give it a 3.5/5 for the times when their food is so good that everything else comes second. Bottomline, Get take out and avoid the staff.

Personally the spice level was too subtle for me but I grew up in Little India. Otherwise I had a good first experience there. I will definitely order from their menu next time and customize the spice level. The owner working the front all by himself was always smiling, courteous and efficient during their busiest time on the weekend.
