This is the second time we've eaten here. The first time was when the name changed from "Chillies"…read morebut the old sign was still on the building, with the new name draped over top. That experience was a lot better than expected, and we had planned to return. Plans came to fruition today! We got the Mixed Appy Platter to start. Mains chosen were Goat Masala, Kadai Paneer. 4pc Tandoori chicken, and family size garlic naan. Hearty, tasty, beautifully balanced flavours. Spice level chosen was medium - hot enough to waken your palette but not blow your head off. Ambiance was cozy and quiet, which we LOVE. We tend to eat early, so having the restaurant to ourselves is always a treat. Staff was welcoming and hospitable.

We got in fairly late and were starving. This place popped up as open, and sounded good since we…read morehadn't had Indian food in awhile. They have a pretty good size menu, so it took awhile to sort through. We ended up with the Vegetable Hakka Noodles, Tandoori Chicken, Family Garlic Naan, Chicken Saagwala, and the Kachumber Salad. The Hakka noodles were delicious, hadn't had these before but would definitely get again, they are actually really good as cold leftovers the next day as well. The Tandoori Chicken was great, bone in and cooked perfectly. Not too spicy, even my daughter ate some. The Family garlic naan really is FAMILY sized, absolutely huge, too big for our small family of three. Really good naan, and pretty impressed they can cook one this size, it paired so well with the chicken saagwala. The chicken mixed with the greens was delicious unlike other dishes we've had, it was probably the favorite dish we ordered. Their kachumber salad was quite nice, cold salad, really fresh feeling and the light seasoning blend they add to it was really nice to balance it out. This is a great spot to get some quality food.

Karara Barrhaven. DONOT recommend!…read more Horrible! I understand the COVID-19 pressures during this time; however, we had a huge order placed and when received...it wasn't fresh at all. The Tandoori roti- HARD difficulty to chew The naan - very chewy Goat mutton - SOUR tasting Curry Chicken - SOUR tasting Baingan Bhurta- Tasted OLD and sour Paneer Butter Masala - Delicious Channa Masala - okay I called to speak with the manager and the girl that unanswered was completely unhelpful- she could t care less about the horrible tasting food and when I asked about speaking with the manager...she didn't know when the manager would be on shift this date, she didn't know when the manager's next shift would be and she did not know what times the manager works. RIDICULOUS! I have bought from many Indian restaurants and have never come across such ridiculous service. I hope they can rectify this because as it stands I DO NOT RECOMMEND this Barrhaven location at least. 95% of my food I had to throw out because it was inedible!!!

Too expensive and the fish pakoras had no flavor or salt added to it. When called to let them know…read moreforget about Sorry or anything else. The lady says oh for next time just let us know to add salt to it as this is how the fish pakoras are made. Like seriously. Total waste of time and money. Look somewhere else where they care for their customers.

There's an old saying; if you want good coffee, go where the truckers go. If you want good vegan…read moreSouth Indian food, go where South Indians go. Ayini is such a place. This small and unpretentious family run [I'm guessing] restaurant serves delicious paper thin dosai, fantastic puttu, medu vada, idli and sambar that will have your wallet send a thank you card. We got there on a Sunday slightly before it opens at 10 am . Oh, and the chutney. Did I mention the chutney? I give it 4 stars only because of the decor. You're not going to impress your date or be impressed eating there, save for the quality of the food. It's definitely worth your time.

Masala chai brought us here, and the channa pouri keeps us coming back. Amazingly friendly service…read morefrom hosts that welcome to you with a smile. The seating area is small, but comfortable. It's now a regular stop for us when we want something quick that's guaranteed to satisfy.

I had already eaten (I didn't realise they have food), but I ordered one of the three authentic Indian chai tea that are offered. There was only one size (maybe 12 ounces), but it was just right. The kadak chai was flavourful and yummy. Ginger and cardamom are the two main spices in the kadak. Next time I want to go over lunch so I can try the Tadka Maggi. Will definitely be back!

We had already had some food at home and were looking for some good naans and rotis and picked up a…read morevegan Mixed Vegetables curry just in case. The inside is clean and new. Carrom Boards available for patrons to enjoy. Glad that they knew what dishes are vegan or can be made one. The naan is not and roti is vegan if taken without butter. The naan and rotis were good and just as Punjabi restaurants in GTA (Brampton?). The vegan mixed vegetables curry was a huge disappointment. Not great tasting and bit more In the greasy side. The quality and taste is one but even the container provided was hardly 1/2 full. For almost $20! Not too sure we would buy even a paneer curry 1/2 full for that price.

I was totally shocked how delicious the food here was!!…read more Being in a Barrhaven strip mall I was hoping for average Indian food. But wow they really exceeded my expectations. My only caution, for folks that like Indian flavours but don't like a lot of heat, their food by default is on the spicier side. You may want to let them know your preferences.
