Best Indian Restaurants In Toronto

“Tried the butter chicken roti and vegetable samosa. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food. Roti is super fresh, flavour of the butter chicken was amazing. A lot of chicken filling. You can choose your spice level.
They gave us cold tap water as well as some sort of fruit cup dessert with mango or pineapple puree? Not sure what it was but it was a nice surprise and very delicious. I wasn’t expecting the service at all. I highly recommend eating here.”

“Very tasty Roti, I got butter chicken spicy with extra potato and it was very delicious, I have not tried many Roti places but this was very good and when they say spicy they mean it. It was overall a good place and the roti is wrapped around the butter chicken so it stays warm longer and kept it soft. It’s kinda pricy but it’s good every now and then.”

“Best Indian vegan food in Montreal. Very healthy, tasty and filling. Coming from an Indian person, beautiful cozy atmosphere, beautifully decorated. Went there with my lover and we had a great evening. Service was fast and very hospitable! Thank you Hindusthali.”

Arindam Kundu

“I very rarely write reviews, but this place 100% deserves it. The family running Hindusthali is lovely and the food was excellent. Amazing vegan food and the chef came out and explained all the dishes and even how to make one of them ourselves! Definitely making a return trip here.”

Grant Goldberg

“Never knew about this place. Looked up for good Indian restaurants and this one showed up with amazing ratings. Randomly gave it a try and wouldn’t regret. Mind blowing flavours and everything just cooked to perfection. Do try out the Tandoori Momo’s that’s a standout on the menu and definitely worth trying. Highly recommend and will be visiting again for sure.”

“Second time eating here and I can’t wait for my third. I’ve told everyone I know to go here. Probably my favorite Indian food in the city. Everything is so flavourful. Great variety. Food comes out hot and fresh and the service is great.”

Alex E

“We had an absolutely amazing experience here! We went during their dinner rush with six people and no reservation -and they were super accommodating. They advised they didn’t have a table yet but gave an accurate wait time (15min) and suggested we wait at the bar. The bartender was super kind and helpful as we chose beers and wines while we waited (try their house brew!).

Once seated we were quickly waited on by stellar staff. The food was absolutely amazing; it was sad when we were finally full and couldn’t order more!

Wonderful ambiance, great service -even while we waited. We are already planning on next visit -this time we’ll call ahead for a reso!”

Katie Duval

“My favourite restaurant and definitely worth the drive from Woodbridge!! Food and service never disappoint. Everything I have tried is excellent but Butter Chicken is my absolute favourite. Naan bread is delicous. We always get take out before we leave for next day and food tastes just as good. We have yet to bring family or friends that don’t love it as much as us.”

Rosemary Forte Santos

“Truly wonderful Indian restaurant. Flavours were out of this world. Had the Chicken Tikka Masala and (no such thing as too much) garlic naan. Deep and yet subtle.
Our server was lovely as well. Try and repeat, repeat!”

Matthew Brydson

“Really enjoyed the food! Had the saag paneer, lamb rogan josh, and butter chicken with naan + rice and enjoyed it all. Really amazing service too. Definitely one of the best indian restaurants in the city; Highly recommend!!”

Priya Bablani

“Never bribe someone with Indian food. You could be accused of currying favour.

Good food = Good Mood and, that’s what Indian Desire is all about. What if I tell you that all your favourite Indian Street Food and your go-to AUTHENTIC INDIAN FOOD is now in Toronto? YES, you’ve heard it right and if you still don’t believe me? Swipe to the pictures and see how I got spoilt with a scrumptious treat from @indiandesireca.

Indian Desire is a new restaurant located in downtown Toronto offering artistic takes on traditional, authentic Indian dishes. Their food is best paired with some delicious cocktails or an assortment of wines and beers.

and this is what I tried: ⁣

* Delhi Style Tandoori Chicken⁠
The traditional tandoori chicken comes in a pomegranate and leaf salad. It is served with Mint and Coriander Chutney.

* Corn Kurkure
Crispy baby corn tossed with assorted pepper and, chillies.

* Marwari Bhindi
The Starry-eyed okra is cooked together with onion & tomato, topped with black & white sesame.

* Chicken Tikka Masala
Broiled Chicken teams up with tikka masala and marinated in yogurt in a creamy, spice-infused tomato sauce.

* Za’atar Naan
Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice made from a blend of sesame seeds, thyme, salt and dried sumac. The naan is soft in the middle, crunchy around the edges.

* Gulab Jamun
It was stuffed with gulkand (rose petals and honey) filling was so authentic that it reminded me of the ones I had back in India.

Thank you for being a wonderful host @indiandesireca and bringing back all the nostalgic memories from India.

“Short and sweet… I can’t remember the last time I walked away from a restaurant feeling as impressed as I did from Indian Desire!! If you want AMAZING food, the best service, beautiful atmosphere… and cool tech (yes I said cool tech), then this is the place for you!!! From the time we walked in the door, the staff were very attentive to us. I truly appreciate the staff explaining all of the items on the menu, and recommending some amazing dishes and deserts!!! There is a new robot that brings the food to your table… it’s too cute! (Looks like a cat… that blinks and talks to you lol). But for those of you who thinks this is taking jobs away, this is not the case, as the wait staff still deliver the food from the robot to your table. This was just an all around fantastic experience, and we will be back!!! 😋”

“One of my favourite Indian restaurants by far! Such amazing flavours for a very fair price. They are always poppin’ with people even late at night. That’s when you know it’s a good place. The staff and chef+owners are very nice and friendly so we’ll definitely be coming back. I’ll be thinking about this place even when I go back to California!!!”

Yen Nguyen

“Found this gem by fluke while driving through the city and loved every minute of it! The food tastes excellent and I cannot wait to come back. As an Indian, this is definitely a unique twist on authentic flavours. Customer service is an added bonus with smiling faces and friendly staff. Wishing this restaurant a hearty success and future.

P.S: One of the few places who doesn’t make butter chicken all sweet and tangy. Love the spice!”

Simran Manuel

“The staff at the restaurant was so friendly and hospitable!
We ordered Bombay Sandwich and Vegetable Biryani! Both the dishes were impeccable! They were authentic and super delicious. Portion size for the biryani was super generous.
Can’t wait to go again and try out more things from their menu.”

Fatema Mansa

“Me and my friend, both originally from Mumbai checked this place out and gave it a thumbs up 👍 🤭

The food was flavourful, and tasted just like home. The Misal pav was delicious. We got goat curry and rice and it was also delicious, a little too spicy for me because I’m a Canadian Maharashtrian. But the flavors in the food are authentic.

The decor and ambience are great. Being able to pick out the mumbai spots on their wall paintings was fun! Also being able to speak to the servers in Marathi was a great treat. The servers were friendly and personable.

My actual rating is a 4.5 because I was really disappointed in the mango bite drink. That was the most expensive mango bite candy i bought 🥲 the drink itself wasn’t good.

I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone, if you’re not actually a mumbaikar maybe request an adjustment to the spice level.”

“They claim to be the best in town and guess what? They are right! Absolutely in love with this restaurant. The moment you enter, you know it’s different. The aroma and atmosphere is super welcoming. I can’t remember the lady’s name that served us but she was an absolute sweetheart. Treated us very respectfully and professionally. Kinda funny. Lots of love to her!

We’re two people and ordered their green meal. 2 vegetarian mains, 2 naans, basmati rice, starter and dessert all for just $45. The quantity was good enough. We couldn’t finish everything. The quality is just awesome and presentation is even better. The chef seems to be very passionate about cooking. Must try their daal makhani. Recommended to atleast 10 friends. Will be back soon and with more people.

PS. Super clean and calming washrooms.”

Kanav Bhatia

“A very good Indian restaurant in town. We were in that area and this name came up in the search. Thought of trying but absolutely loved the food.

Good :
Ambiance is cool and very nice.
Food is tasty
Staff are good
Location is good as well
Chicken 65 is a must try if you are there.

We loved the garlic naan and mango Lassi was so thick and rich.

May need improvement:
The menu had a little less options I would say. Need more items added to the list. 🙂 Take it as positive :)”

Amit Sahu

“Ordered butter chicken, lamb twist, samosa, garlic naan and rice. Incredible flavor and phenomenal service! Best garlic naan I’ve had in ages. Restaurant was very clean and bright. And the best part… inexpensive. So much food for such a reasonable price! Highly recommended for anyone looking for Indian cuisine in the Junction area!”

Ken Nguyen

“Love coming here for curry! The samosas, butter chicken, garlic naan and mango lassi are MUST! My partner got the lamb madras and loved it.Good portion sizes.”

“Any time I am at Atrium, I always visit Chaska Express; I often joke that it’s a good thing I don’t work in Toronto because I would be there everyday! It’s fantastic to have a place like this in the downtown core, because so many of the other food kiosks can be found all over the city but Chaska is unique! Excellent, tasty food with great employees who are very patient and helpful; that’s not always so easy with the crush of hungry people who visit there on their lunch break! When relatives came up from States, I took them there to eat and they loved it! I consider myself a permanent customer!”

michaelsawer

“Has exceeded expectations. Lots of unique flavors and combinations. The samosas are somehow perfectly crispy on the outside and savory inside, without tasting greasy. The samosas chatt can come as a side or a main and never disappoints. Cant go wrong with just about anything on the menu.

For a healthy option I recommend the mixed plate. The salads are also an option, but truly were a bit disappointing in comparison to other items on the menu.”

Stephanie V

“After visiting Vaughn Mills mall we were super hungry, so we started looking at restaurant reviews and picked this place. Best decision we made as the ambience was good, decor looked amazing, staff was nice,friendly and helpful. We ordered two curry Paneer Tikka Masala and Chicken karahi both dish were yum, garlic naan and onion kulcha were soft and fresh cooked in tandoor. Even the portion size of onion salad surprised me, good portion size of food offered.What else can u ask for when all your tummy needs is food. We found small thread stuck in naan which could have been from the napkin used to place naan in tandoor, so we informed staff about the incidence and they apologized and made a new naan for us. On top of that they also gave dessert Ras Malai on the house. That was very sweet of you guys it was not needed but my husband enjoyed it. Thank you for giving us such nice service we were really happy and will definately be back”

“They have good space to sit in doors and have speciality of dosa idli I think. It’s 100% halal so I had chicken biryani and chicken kadhai curry.

The biryani was average, good for 2 people however the kadhai was tasty but little less for 2 persons.
Updated
Love their plain dosa with masala and onion uthappaaaaa

We didn’t dine in here but waited for food. The host is decent and helping.
I will visit here for some dosa idli South Indian cuisine

I have added the menu here and the prices is pretty reasonable.”

E Sayed

“Best dosa in Toronto. Open late night. Nice friendly owner.”

Abhishek Tyagi

“After 3 years I came back with my fiancé and we had one of the tasty food we had in Toronto so far. The Naans and the Tibetan dumplings are well-served and simply delicious. The mango Lassi is also very good and matches well to keep the spiciness balanced. I’ll recommend to every single friend who comes to TO!”

Ricardo Moll

“Om restaurant is fantastic. This review may be biased because my family and I were really hungry when we ate at this restaurant but the food was really tasty and the presentation was wonderful. This may be one of the best Indian restaurants in Toronto.”

Sonia Kanshyna

“The food is fantastic and authentic clearly made with love and skill. Service was wonderful and pleasant. The restaurant itself has a romantic ambiance yet still casual. I love bringing new people there so they can taste the best Indian food in Toronto themselves.”

Jolene M

“North of Bombay has STELLAR food. I’ve been ordering from them for years. I normally get delivery from them, and it’s always amazing. You can tailor each order with their online form, add wine or beer, and has all kinds of dishes. I just ordered from them on Friday night and it was honestly one of the best they’ve ever made. And unlike some Indian restaurants, their Chicken Tikka Masala nicely differs from their Butter chicken.
To add, their staff and drivers are always kind and courteous.”

Chandra Bulucon

“Food was authentic and delicious. Visited today with my friends,ordered Vegetarian. Almost everything was tasty and full of flavors(from appetizers to dessert). Will visit again.”
