Gulaboo
Ritwika B.

How's the Josh? If you're not from India, you might not be familiar with this very popular bollywood movie dialogue. The meaning of this sentence is "how is the enthusiasm?" and I am not lying when I say my josh was pretty high when I decided to visit Tamasha after hearing about the place for MONTHS! For those who don't know, this is a modern Indian restaurant located in the Yonge & Davisville area. You'll be welcomed with snazzy bollywood music just as you enter and I've to say our server (Dikshant) went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the experience. The cocktail that I ordered was called Gulaboo (very apt name) because it didn't just look pink but also had a very refreshing taste of Rooh Afza mixed with vodka. We tried their tandoori wings and this was extremely flavourful and balanced with the right amount of spicy and smokiness. For main course, we had their dal makhni, chicken tikka masala and butter naan and we were very much impressed with the food quality and taste. The food is not spicy so even if you're someone who loves trying Indian food minus the spice, definitely check out this place because they really know what they're servin'!

Chicken biryani rice was uncooked and chicken was also hard. A part from chicken biryani all were tasty. Pani puri serving was good. Ambiance ok. Service ok. Washrooms available.

Tandoori chicken momos
Miss Lady ..

The menu is quite basic. Super overpriced. Had the chicken tandoori momos. They were not fried or boiled, but over roasted and stiff. Its flavoured on the outside but the chicken doesn't have the tandoori seasoning. They provide plain mayonnaise with it. A thick mint-cilantro raita would have made more sense. 8 momos for $18.07 was not worth what was received. $8 would have been more reasonable.. Came in the middle of the week at lunch time. It was dead, so lots of seating. It is not Muslim owned but they claim it is all halal and the meat is from A1. No public parking nearby so come by transit or you have to use a public parking about 5 blocks away. Green P street parking is limited and next to impossible to get a space. Cool interior design but the food is limited and nothing unique.

Hakka poutine
Ketki S.

Experience/ambience: not great, could be better with some changes Food : delicious, but poor variety of ingredients in dishes Recommendation: will not frequent this place. May order take outs if craving for paneer and fries My first experience here was not great because of the super loud music! It was soooo loud that I could barely hear the person sitting right next to me. Food was delicious- especially the Methi Malai Paneer, Hakka Poutine. The sizzler was a little disappointing since it was too sour One big flaw: almost 90% of their vegetarian menu is dishes made of paneer or fries. So very little options excluding that

Storefront, on Yonge

Tamasha - means spectacle in Hindi. And I can totally understand what they are going for. Indian tapas bar featuring Bollywood/Hip Hop dance parties on weekends! I think it's about time that Indian street food got a spotlight on bar menus. There is so much beyond sub-par tikka masalas and butter chickens that don't get featured nearly as much. Tamasha features a refined menu with some delicious Indian street food classics like gol gappa and chaat... with some fusions like the hakka poutine and momos. I personally felt the spice level could be elevated, but understand they are trying to cater to the mainstream. I would love it if they had a couple of house sauces and chutneys to add a dash of heat/spice to your taste. Most items are shareable and the prices + portions are very reasonable. The draft list is small, but it's decent beer. They have a house beer - The Stonewall, which unfortunately they ran out of when I visited. But for $5, definitely give it a shot! I was there on a Tuesday evening, and it was very quiet. Understandably so - they just opened. I hope they get more attention from the after work crowd. It's classy, with a hit of retro Bollywood... and overall, an excellent spot for indian snacks and drinks!

The food wasn't bad it just would have been nice if they brought what I ordered. Even when I cross checked on staff told me this was chicken Tika Marsala. Then when another member asked me if everything was ok. I pointed out having had this many times over that this is not chicken Tikal Marsala. It came sizzling on a platter like tandoori chicken. The service was polite but painful. When asking for a simple glass for my beer had to ask twice and wait 5+ minutes. When I asked for a. Glass of water. Given the fact it's 28 degrees sitting on a patio there was not a single ice cube in my drink. I definitely won't be back. They did NOTHING to make anything right.

beautiful lamb roganjosh with biryani and naan
Sami M.

To be honest, I was never a fan of indian food, but my buddy ordered this for me and I was shocked. I had the lamb roganjosh with biryani - the flavour was ridiculous ... naan was perfect, too. I'm now a certified indian food convert - will definitely be ordering from Tamasha again

Khau Gully - Jira rice

Our team loves grabbing a quick lunch from here, so we ordered catering for our office as well!…read more Today we had mostly vegetarian curries, veggie biryani and their Chicken Tikka Masala (similar to butter chicken but more flavor, more spice, more tomato-y/tart - not as creamy like butter chicken) - super tasty! Everyone enjoyed the meal. Our only take would be that the Fried Vegetable Bites/Balls were supposed to be delivered with the sauce separate on the side - this was not the case, and the tray was all soggy and mushed :( Hopefully next time we can get the bites crunchy! Paneer E Khaas - cottage cheese with a delicious savory spinach gravy! Mmm, that green sauce soooo good - YOU gotta try this one! Veggie Diwani Handi - a beautifully spiced curried assortment of cauliflower, green peas, potatoes, baby corn - and more! It's a definite favorite for the entire crowd! Vegetable Samosas - delivered crispy with a TRIO SAUCE DIP OTS! How awesome is that!? Buttered Naan - great chew, slightly charred, oh so buttery - don't you dare skip this one! You need them for all the sauceeeeee to dip! Speaking of sauce and needs - BIRYANI (rice) with vegetables! The way they craft this dish is so delicious- packed with flavours and spices. Be sure to give it a good mix before you serve! Chicken Tikka Masala - marinated & grilled - smothered in a creamy tomato based curry. All the trays were so carefully wrapped, packaged, and delivered - I AM TELLING YOU - NOTHING SPILLED (BOTH TIMES WE HAVE ORDERED - look at the pictures)! Teams are friendly and so attentive to your catering needs. Thank you for another delicious catering Khau Gully Team!

Hidden gem! Outstanding food and service in this cozy spot on Yonge north of Davisville. Tender…read morelamb an chicken in unctiously flavoured sauces. Subtly spiced rice a light airy naan. I'll be back!
