Be warned, they use some spice in all their dishes. You'd have to travel little india or deep scarbs to grab a deal this good. Owner is super friendly, and if you think the heat level on their dishes isn't enough, he's got some deathly spice to the right of the cash.

We were here for samosas (take out) to stock up our freezer! We wanted to try their samosas after…read morechecking photos online. We also ordered butter Naan. Samosas were freshly cooked. Crunchy bubbly dough, good seasoning. The stuffing was a bit dry but liked its chunky-ness. Accompanied green chutney tasted fresh. The Naan was soft and tasted fresh but a bit too thin/flat for my liking. I will need a spray of water over the samosas before reheating in air fryer at home :).

I was looking for a new vegetarian Indian restaurant in Markham and came across Bhima's on Yelp…read more Having only 1 review on there I was a bit skeptical about how the food was going to be. We decided to get take out and when we got there, there were actually quite a few people dining in which was a good sign. We ordered over the phone so when we arrived our food was ready to be picked up. There is lots of seating available and they have a great menu of pure vegetarian options. We ordered for around 6 people so we got the: Gopi 65 (8/10 was quite good), Masala Onion Dosa (7/10) , Paneer Biryani (8/10), Paneer Tikka Masala (8/10 very oily though), Chole Curry (5/10 so oily almost inedible) and Garlic Naan (6/10 huge portions but quite tough). The food overall was okay I did find it to be quite oily and not sure I would order again. 6/10 Overall Rating

The food is delicious, even more if you are a meat eater…read more We've been eating here since a few years now and the quality has stayed fairly consistent. Considering that this place serves South Indian food, the dosas are definitely nice. However, there are a bunch of good dosa places in the GTA who offer more options. Anjappar scores with its tasty non vegetarian variety. Today, the chicken was tender and well cooked. We like spicy gravy and the server's recommendation was on spot. The mutton bone soup was extra nice on the first day of snow. Overall, a must try place if you haven't been here yet.

I had heard about Anjappar from my cousin who had come to Mississauga a few years back and I…read moreassumed it was a small hole-in-the-wall kind of restaurant. To my surprise, I realized that the place is actually part of a global chain when I tried ordering from there recently. Unfortunately, that reflects on the prices as well. It is quite pricey and the quantity definitely does not match the prices. However, the taste almost makes up for this. Everything we got was spiced perfectly and not mellowed down at all. The chicken 65 was especially delightful and goat curry was fantastic with the typical South Indian coconut flavour coming through. In conclusion, it is probably not a place I will be ordering from often because of those prices but will definitely consider it if I am looking to impress any guests looking for authentic spicy fare from the southern part of India.

Had the Lunch Buffet. I've been to many Indian buffets & this had the smallest spread of them all…read more There were no labels & 3 chicken items, with the rest vegetarian. They get 2.5 stars. The food was mostly below average & the others were mostly decent (spicy lentil soup, samosa, Tandoori chicken). The pappadum was stale. There was a pre-tossed chaat (chickpeas, red sauce & crispy wafers) which was quite good (still crispy) especially with added yogurt on top. Chili chicken was the worst: soggy & sour with no umami flavour. There were more desserts than expected which were decent: Honeydew, Gulab jamun (quite firm), 2 ice cream flavours (ice cream was the usual cheap buffet ice cream but with no ice crystals), kheer & plain custard (very lumpy but tasting decent).

We had the mixed chicken platter and it came sizzling and it tasted quite good. We also ordered chicken momos and they were very nice and flavorful. For main course, we ordered some of their "signature dishes". These did not have the flavor or texture that we were expecting. Even the Avani chicken curry has chicken that was chewie and gravy was on the sweeter side. Their jackfuit vegetable was very bland and not well done.

The server Simran was so pleasant and really made our experience wonderful! Though we had a big group of 8 people, the customer service was amazing and we were seated immediately upon arrival. We got quite a few dishes and were able to share amongst each other to be able to try everything!

We were thoroughly happy with the service and would highly recommend coming out for a group dinner! 8.5/10 Overall Recommend

Dosa heaven... If you never tried a dosa, this is a place to try one. We had a butter paper masala…read moredosa and it was delicious. Crispy and the potatoe onion filling is just right. Paper dosa is larger, thinner and I think crispier. Didn't really need the butter as it was oily but still good. We started with Idly and they were soft and fluffy, melted in your mouth. Finally tried Aloo Gobi curry with plain naan. Very flavourful and a bit spicy but the naan was more chewier than I'm used to. The place is busy and there is a glass window so you can see the dosas being made. The service is prompt and they check on you often. Overall an enjoyable lunch. Deal: 3pm to 6pm 2 dosas for $15.99.

Butter chicken is more tart than sweet, and the paratha is oddly more flakey than I'm used to. Overall, good portion for 2 people.

Space is huge and certainly can hold a lot of people.

I love indian food so I was excited to try the Goat Xacutti as it's something new but it ended up tasting exactly like the Chicken Tikka. And the Chicken Tikka didn't taste like what Chicken Tikka usually tastes like. They both tasted like and amalgamation of every curry all mixed together. It was flavorful, but there was no distinct flavor. The Bhel Puri was yummy, but they served us wayyyy too much for only a party of 2. The garlic naan was fine. I also ordered the sweet lassi, which was tasty. The seating was fine and they had a coat rack which was nice. It's open late (till 11pm) which is convenient and why I might come here again, but otherwise the food did not stand out to me at all.

Midway through the painfully slow setup process, the entire store started filling with the scent of something glorious. Rich spices, buttery warmth... it was the kind of smell that stops conversations. Everyone working there was Indian, and they were all clearly just trying to wrap up my account so they could dig into whatever just got delivered. I had to ask--where's that food from? "Kothur," they said, almost in unison. That was the recommendation, and it stuck with me. I walked by the place once. The exterior didn't scream "hidden gem." Thought about ordering delivery a few times but never followed through. Life, you know? Today, I finally went. From the outside, still nothing to write home about. But walk in, and it's a different story. Clean, cozy, and exactly the kind of no-fuss Indian spot you'd expect to stumble upon in the heart of a big city. The food? Solid. Spices landed right. Everything was warm, comforting, and satisfying. It's not trying to reinvent Indian cuisine--it's just doing it well. If you ever find yourself sniffing the air near a phone shop and wondering what that divine smell is--it might just be Kothur. TL;DR Not flashy. Surprisingly good. Smelled it before I tasted it. Worth it.
