First time here and had heard good things about it…read more Great ambiance which regrettably is not the norm for many Indian restaurants across the GTA - but the slight downer was that is was quite noisy which was equally on account of the patrons and the volume of the music We started with the Palak Patta Chaat ( which was as interesting as it was delicious ), Tandoori Veg Momos ( this was disappointing ) and the assorted non veg platter ( which was really good ) We followed this with both the chicken and lamb biryani - which were outstanding, Mishree Ki Dal Makhani ( expectedly heavy but delicious ) and Raita The youngest in our group had the Canadian favourite - yes you guessed right - Butter Chicken and Naan ( Naan Bread to the uninitiated) Overall the food would get 4 stars from me The ambience would get the same rating because only because I thought the place was too loud But I was surprised/disappointed with a few things which I would classify as unforced errors After we were seated, the very thing we were told was that we had the table for an hour and 45 minutes. Whaaaaat? If an establishment is going to charge me a healthy premium for the food then the last thing I want to hear from them as I sit down is when I have to target to leave At the end of the meal, we ordered dessert. While we waited for it, we packed the leftovers and then continued to wait.... After 10 minutes when we asked our server, she admitted that she had forgotten to place the order with the kitchen... we then cancelled desserts Then came the icing on the cake Our server asked us if our friends were celebrating their 10th anniversary. We said that they were. A few minutes later, she came with our bill. We paid and left So the final taste that we left with was not very mishree Come on guys - if you're positioning yourself as a premium eatery, then you raise my expectations .. and where you dropped the ball were on the basics You can and must do better

There were no coat hooks or coat check....surprising for such a beautiful and upscale place. The coats crowded our seats. They were kind enough to accommodate my need for water with meals by leaving a kettle with water for me. They do not leave jugs but our server, Snow, replenished the water for others regularly.. she was friendly, helpful and funny. Since I need vegan and gluten free the only items I could have were the salad without feta, yellow dal without ghee and plain rice. The fam loved the Afghan chicken tikka and paneer item they ordered. My dal was made without ghee as requested but was on the spicy side. The fam shared the chocolate cake and rabri desserts but zero vegan/gluten free dessert items. The decor is lovely and everyone was very professional. The meal was very expensive....well over $400 for 1 alcohol drink, 2 mocktails, 3 apps, 3 mains with 2 rice, 2naan and 1 parantha and 2 desserts. Hopefully you get Snow as your server as she was a delight. There was no DJs or live entertainment the night we went but they do have it on certain nights. It got very busy while we were there with folks of all ages. You can bring your own cake but they charge $5pp to serve it.

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.

I went to GuruLaxmi South Indian Restaurant after almost a year, this time with a close family…read morefriend who is South Indian himself. I wanted him to experience authentic South Indian food, and he told me he had already heard about GuruLaxmi and its reputation for delicious, authentic recipes. Luckily, I met the owner, whom I have known for almost 20 years, going back to when he had a small food counter at Dundas and Hurontario in International Plaza. The moment he saw me, he recognized me and welcomed me warmly, as always. He called me "Akka," and it genuinely brought back many memories. We hugged and shared memories of olden days... What struck me most is that he has not changed one bit -- the same humility, politeness, warmth, and dedication to serving food that feels genuinely prepared by a family, for their customers. I also met his wife, whom I call Tangachi, and his daughter Nisha, who was cooking yesterday. That is what makes GuruLaxmi special: this is truly a family-owned and family-operated place, where the food is prepared with the care and authenticity that you simply cannot manufacture. My friend thoroughly enjoyed the food, and it was especially nice seeing him discover the dosas and other South Indian dishes for himself. Friends of mine from Australia and New Zealand have also been eager to try the dosas here after hearing about them. For me, GuruLaxmi is more than just a restaurant. It is a place connected to nearly two decades of friendship, memories, hospitality, and genuinely authentic South Indian food. Wishing the entire family continued success. I am very glad I came back after all these years.

Super irritated by the level of care here…read more I made reservations for 5pm when they open for 4 people and noted we were coming for my dad's birthday. As soon as we were seated and hadn't even poured our water the server came over and asked us if we were ready to order (5:03pm). We went through the menu and were ready to order. My mom went first, followed by me, my brother and then my father. Our food came out in that order - except my dad's. At 5:30pm the server came around and reminded us of the dining limit and I frankly pointed out that my father who's birthday it is hasn't gotten his food and we were told it was because it was burnt and being remade 10 mins ago... His food comes at 5:35pm and someone else comes around at 5:40pm reminding us that we are approaching the dining limit. Needless to say, the service was absolutely horrible - no apology for the late food just hurry up eat and get out. Never returning to this restaurant.

I took it back and they did not do anything about it. I had to demand to get my money back. There was no way I was going to eat chicken that was not cooked.

We have been to the OG VOI for more than two decades and have been really enjoying the restaurant…read more With the VOI we were very sure that food would be similar. We picked up some vegan chole, vegan eggplant, samosa, and vegan parathas, and tandoori rotis. The Chole and eggplant curries were very disappointing. Especially Chole - it tasted as it was made a novice and not a chef. Chole is such a Punjabi dish, that one is rarely disappointed. The eggplant curry was equally disappointing. It didn't taste as it came from a Punjabi restaurant. The spice level and even seasonings were completely off. The samosas were OK and so was the tandoori rotis. The Aloo Parathas again disappointing. Wondering how can one go wrong in making Parathas? Potatoes stuffed in between two bigger tawa rotis. That's how it tasted. We are not sure we are going back to this location ever again.

During our stay, we noticed individuals coming in and out for take-out therefore, the kitchen was kept busy with varying orders. The restaurant itself was large, and as we were told, a bar and event space was being built in the back for larger groups. Upon entering, we were greeted by a kind server, whom showed us to a table of our choosing. Since we were the only diners in the restaurant, we chose to sit in a large booth, which accommodated all four of us nicely. As we entered the restaurant, we noticed how beautiful the decor was, and how nice it smelled! Two very important points that we were blown away by. Upon sitting in the booth, we settled on two orders of butter chicken with plain naan and rice. We also decided on a thali, which had lentils, butter chicken, paneer with butter chicken sauce, yogurt, rice with vegetables, and gulab jamun for dessert. We only had to wait about 12 minutes for our food to arrive, at which point, we were starving, and looking forward to eating. We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything tasted. The portion sizes were large, and very well-portioned for each item. We also liked how the naan was included with the thali, and how generous the server was in providing extra water at all times. Our server came over to check on us as we were dining, commenting positively on the type of food that we had chosen. Considering how spacious the restaurant was, along with the inviting ambiance, top-notch service, and appetizing food, we were surprised to see it so quiet. Please fill this restaurant to capacity, as it is beyond amazing, and deserves to be given a chance! Will definitely come back when I'm in the area!

I absolutely love this place. Normally, a place that has a massive menu is a bit concerning to me…read moreas it often leads to not really excelling at anything, but that is not the case here in my experience. The reason behind the large menu is related to the aim of the restaurant, which is to showcase the various regional cuisines of India. As a result, don't expect the straightforward menu of: apps, entrees, deserts, etc... rather the menu is divided by cuisine. Aside from honouring tradition, they do offer a couple 'new' takes on some items. If you comb through a few reviews, and certainly the pics, you'll notice a must-order items is the roasted eggplant with pomegranate. It really is like nothing else I've had before and unforgettable in both taste and texture. My group also went with a famous lamb dish as well. I don't remember the name offhand, but it is incredibly soft, well seasoned and nicely spiced dish. We also went with orders of naan, veggie dishes and meat skewers. It's beautifully decorated inside and also has the advantage of being located in a heritage building in what was formerly an estate home nearly 150 years old. It's truly a unique place and one people living in the area can be proud and of showcase to visitors.

Another item that we noticed was missing at this location was the robot waiter, which we were hoping to see. Nevertheless, when we walked-in, we were pleasantly surprised to see how large the restaurant was, with ample room to walk around the food tables, and choose our items with ease. Also, it wasn't too busy in the restaurant itself, which allowed us to choose a table of our liking near the back. Once we had placed our order, we waited about 12-15 minutes for the food to arrive. We had settled on one thali, which contained butter chicken, along with a few other lentil curries. This thali was marvellous, as the food items tasted delicious, and were freshly-made. Also, there was an ample amount, which filled me up to the brim! We also ordered butter chicken on the side, with an order of plain naan. Once again, we were impressed with how delicious these items tasted; we ended up getting refills of the naan, as it was too hard to pass up! Service was also great, as we were brought our refills quickly upon ordering. All servers were pleasant, and always greeted us with a smile. Definitely a place we would return to in the future!

Prices are reasonable and place is pretty spacious with seating and limited parking spots. Lots of sweet and savoury options. Would like to go back to try their mango lassi and dosa. Their samosa was good, it's different from the other ones I've tried as they don't have the big chili flakes inside which I like but it's a bit oily. I like the sauces that come with it. Tea was good too. There's options for sweets that's not too sweet which is great.

We were seated in the back part of the restaurant... where the booths were which in my opinion ruined my experience at the restaurant. There was a large group that was seated in the front area where the chairs and tables were which was the better area while the booths seemed to be the older setup and had us all squished. This ruined our experience as we were fighting for space on the table. The servers were good overall but not sure if I will return to this location. Having been to the Ajax location that one hits it out of the park with ambiance, service and food! Hope the missisauga location can also kick it up a notch a day would be glad to return.
