I got some takeout at Bawarchee after a long day at work and overall the food was ok, but I was…read moreovercharged by $3 and they almost forgot my drink until I reminded them and had to show them on the menu that the combo came with a drink. I got the BBQ chicken leg, kebab and fries combo. The price listed on the menu was $14.99 but I was charged $17.99 but since I was tired and hungry, I didn't realize it until I was driving home. They didn't give me a receipt. Maybe it was an honest mistake or maybe they raised their prices and haven't updated their menu. I personally feel that $17.99 is too much for the quality and quantity of the food I received, even in today's climate of through the roof inflation. The wait was about 15 minutes. They did offer me some water while I waited, so I thought that was a nice gesture. When the young guy brought me my food (just a styrofoam box in a bag), I asked "the combo comes with a drink, right?" And he pointed at the older guy at the cash register and said I had to ask him. So I went over and asked the older guy if I can pick my drink, and he opened the fridge and gave me a small container of sauce. I thanked him and asked him if the combo came with a drink. He shook his head. Then I pointed at the menu which clearly states the combos come with a canned drink. Then he instructed the younger guy to get me a drink and said "he'll get it for you." I got a can of iced tea, but it felt like an ordeal to get to that point. The container felt really light, but it was very thermodynamically hot and smelled good. The chicken leg was moist and tender and had a nice spicy kick to it. It tasted like chicken tandoori and was the best part of the meal. The kebab was ok but was a bit gritty and tasted more of filler than meat. The fries were unremarkable. However the quantity of fries was minimal. In fact, the quantity of the entire meal was minimal. The green yogurt based sauce good. A bit creamy and a bit herbal. I'm not a fan of styrofoam packaging, both for health and environmental reasons. At least they lined the bottom of the container with aluminum foil, so less of the hot food is touching the styrofoam and potentially leaching chemicals into the food. The inside of the restaurant is nice for a fast food type joint. There are some cool paintings on the walls. Pre-pandemic this would have been a two-star experience for me, but times right now are tough for all, so I try to be more forgiving, so I'm going to say three stars for my experience. Your experience may differ.

Awesome food! Really delicious and fresh…read more I had the Chicken Biryani and Chicken Achar. Both were fantastic. If you are looking for a different option to Indian Food then give Bawarchee Pakistani food a try. The restaurant has a fast food feel to the place, so not fancy.

The tea tastes very good and reminds me of the tea my mom used to make at home. I had the devil chicken and it was very good. It was not too spicy but flavorful. None of the food was extremely spicy like other Sri Lankan restaurants so this would be a safe place for people who cannot handle spicy food too well but like the flavor. This place has a lot of Indian food options too but I did not try any of those since it is harder to find Sri Lankan food. (Sri Lankan and South Indian food share similarities but are not the same!)

I've been going here for years and years and the quality of the food has stayed so consistent. With COVID I've mostly been doing takeout orders but they've also introduced daily lunch specials for those in the area which you can check out on their facebook page. Typically we order, samosa, pakora, paneer makhani, dal makhani and another veg curry. The pakoras and samosas are probably the best I've had in the city and that tamarind chutney sauce that goes with it is so good and tangy. As for the curries the makhani is my all time fav dish and I always order this anytime I eat Indian but I find other restaurants make it too sweet or its just missing that creamy-ness, however here the curry is just right. It gives you that comfort food satisfaction eating it with your naan/rice or even alone. The prices are also extremely fair for the quantity and quality of food you're getting. For a family of 4 we got everything for under $100 Just writing this review is making me wanna go get some takeout!

I was really excited about trying out Ishina's lunch buffet, but I am sad to report that overall I…read morewas very disappointed :( They mostly do catering and their restaurant is only open Monday-Friday 11:30am-2pm, for their lunch buffet, so fairly limited hours, so unless you work nearby, it's difficult to try it out. At the time of the writing of this review, their website advertises the buffet as being $11.99, but I was actually charged $12.99, so I think they raised the prices without updating the website. Anyway, I was able to try out Ishina on a Thursday afternoon. I got there about 5-10 minutes after opening because I was afraid it would be really busy. I was the first customer! I love being the first to dig into a buffet, lol. In fact for the 30-40 minutes that I was there, I was the sole customer (buffet or takeout). I was greeted as soon as I walked in by a man who came out from the kitchen. I said I was there for the lunch buffet and he said I could sit anywhere I wanted. He poured me some water and asked me if I wanted some naan. I said "yes, please!" And he disappeared into the kitchen and I dug into the fresh untouched buffet! The selection was very small. They had a tomato soup, which I didn't try, but it looked like just watery tomato sauce with spices in it (no meat, chunks of vegetables, pasta, rice, etc.). They had some garnishes like chili peppers, some pickled items, and some chopped raw vegetables. I didn't try these either. I did try the chickpea raita, which tasted like chickpeas in a sour yogurt. The mains included a lentil curry, which was very watery, but flavourful and my favourite dish at the restaurant. There was a mushroom curry which was unremarkable IMO, an eggplant curry which I did not try as I'm not a fan of eggplant, then a beef curry which was also watery and the beef cubes were tough and chewy, and finally chicken tandoori (all drumsticks and thighs) which were well seasoned, but the chicken tasted a bit old to me, like the way my leftover chicken tastes when I reheat it 2 days later. There was also plain rice which was a little clumpy, and broken up pieces of papadam, which were ok. The most disappointing thing was the naan! Naan is not at the buffet, but the man brought it to me from the kitchen, so I was expecting fresh soft delicious naan. The naan was hard, dry, and tasted stale to me. You can see the pictures I posted. The top side that was face up during presentation looked promising as it had those blisters that I love on naan, but the underside was just sad, like my face when I broke off a piece of the naan and put it in my mouth :( I was left to my own devices during most of my time there, which I actually didn't mind because it meant I could take all those pictures for y'all, haha. All staff were in the kitchen. The man did pop out to refill my water once and clear away my first plate. The only dessert was a fruit custard. It was satisfactory. It was essentially pieces of peaches/apricots, pears, and grapes in a vanilla custard. After I was done, I stood at the cash register for a while and no one came. So I looked through the window of the "employees only" door leading to the kitchen until I saw the man and waved at him. He came out and I settled my bill, which like I mentioned was $1 more than I expected. I wasn't going to quibble over a dollar, especially since it would likely be my last time there anyway, so I paid and left. He did thank me and wished me a good day. Apparently they have been in business for over 20 years. I think they supply food for stores. I specifically remember their branding on the samosas at the now defunct Market Organics. I think they supply the samosas for Natural Food Pantry, but I'm not entirely sure. I know that Herb and Spice also sells their food. I was really disappointed that there was no butter chicken and no parkoras. I think their buffet selection changes, so maybe I went on an off day. As I always say when I leave a not so stellar review, your mileage may vary! Free parking in front of the restaurant. It's in an industrial park like area.

This is probably hands down the WORST place that has ever prepared my favorite dish, Korma. I…read moreordered this dish as take out and didn't see or taste it until I retuned from my $40 taxi ride back to my hotel. I ordered Shrimp Korma and asked it to be medium spice instead of mild. I was surprised when I opened the container when and disgusted when I tasted it. No curry spice. No spice at all. I was looking at a tin container of what tasted like undercooked shrimp drowning in yellow evaporated milk. NO flavor beside a disgusting sweet taste. I know not all Indian restaurants will make this dish the same, however I wouldn't feed this to my worst enemy. The owner suffered a credit when I return. Yeah, right!!! Steer clear. AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL!!! If I could give it negative stars I'd give it -5!
