Brar’s Sweets & Restaurant

(2.5 stars) I went to the new brar sweet location in trinity mall and was really dissapointed. The quantity is really low and the rates are high. I used to buy sweets from advanced blvd and it was good. I was expecting the same from this location and went here excitedly thinking I will get the same service but didn’t.

Egad! Most amazing Indian food! My first time; had the buffet. The dishes were delicious. There are so many different things it would’ve be impossible to try everything. My favourites were Malai Kofta and the Spinach/​cheese (Saag Paneer) dishes. I tried almost all the dishes at the main hot-​table. Most were medium to mildly spiced. One was a little too hot for me. The desserts were also delicious. Rasmalai, my favourite Indian dessert had a different spin with mango sauce instead of just cream… yum. Their mini-​Nanaimo bars were also shockingly good! The rice wasn’t anything to write home about, or the raita, but basically the food was just Heavenly. Found the price higher than what I’m used to, but for what you’re getting, it’s probably fair. Would most definitely go again!

Great Indian food. Great service. Yes it is vegetarian but you really don’t miss the meat. Great selection, even some Canadian food. I always enjoy my time here. The price is very good as well.

I visited the Mississauga location of this place before and it is nothing compared to the Brampton location which is AMAZING in my opinion! It is an all vegetarian buffet but there is a huge variety of dishes if you want truly authentic Indian cuisine (which is so much more than just «Butter Chicken»). Yes there is no butter chicken here but I don’t think that matters because there is still a huge variety of dishes and wonderful desserts. There’s everything from Pani Puri, Papri Chaat (My personal favourite!), fresh Naan and Dosa’s, Vada, Dhokla, pakora, samosas, several traditional curries as well as Desserts like Ras malai, Gulab jaamun, carrot halwa etc.
I believe the prices are $ 14.99 for weekday lunch and $ 18.99 for weekend lunch with dinners being more expensive. I did go here on a weekday lunch but being December and near the holiday season, they charged me $ 18.99 (weekend price) for lunch which I didn’t really care but just keep that in mind if you plan to visit this place close to the holidays.
So why not the 5*for this place? Well although the food is good, I found that some dishes were not as fresh, particularly their paneer dishes. Maybe I have a higher standard because I’m used to making my paneer fresh at home but I found the paneer kind of rubbery and dry here at Brar’s which sucked because I love everything with paneer in it and that is most of the curries at an all vegetarian buffet. Another thing I thought could be improved is if they had proper labels and instructions near their dishes. Especially for things like their Pani puri and Papri chaat where you have to basically assemble the dish. I, of course, know how to because my mother has prepared the dish for me several times but for customers that are new to Indian food, I can imagine there being a lot of confusion about what to add and what all the sauces/​spices are for.

Decent enough Indian. Not a terrible place at all, but certainly not the best Indian. The atmosphere here is nice, but the service is a bit apathetic (other than the bus boy, he was very nice).
I tried the shrimp. For the uninitiated (as I was at the time), is a brothy-​curry enveloped by a pastry (think an Indian version of the chicken pot pie). The shrimp themselves were pretty sub-​par, and absorbed absolutely none of the delicious flavour. In hind-​sight, I would have gone with the lamb. That said, the overall dish was a unique one and very tasty.
I also tried a few bites of the lamb palak ghost. While everything in the curry tasted fresh, it was only slightly better than average.

Best indian sweets in town, have a wide variety of unique indian sweets.
Restaurant is pure veg and buffet is quite nice with decent hakka (indian) chinese food also available.

It’s an «All you can eat Buffet» and I did not know that this placed served only vegetarian food until I reached there. However, there are several veggie options available — you don’t miss the meat! The place is known for its sweets and savoury. The Pani Puri, Paav Bhaaji and the Halwa (Gajar and Suji) are worth it. The place is very crowded and expect a minimum 10 – 15 min wait over the weekend. The servers are friendly and courteous but the place is so busy that it gets difficult to get their attention. The soda pop is included in the buffet and it was difficult for us to order one — had a tough time getting the waitress to listen to us. The space between the tables is very less. It appears that the owners wanted to maximize revenues and have kept the tables very close to each other. A bit of space would help! I like it that they have Free Wifi out there. Also, love it that they give a hot towel after the meal to you — it’s impressive. Most of the Indian restaurants have untidy washrooms and I must admit, these folks had a clean one. Overall, a good place but I don’t know why I’d make an exception to come here and pay 25 $ (including taxes) to pay for a only veggie meal.
PS: I don’t understand the notion about selling the Filtered Water for additional 2 $.

Consistently good vegetarian food!

Been coming here for years — not for the buffet, but for the take out thali option. After my last visit, I will definitely not be coming back. Saw a server drop a take out order of naan on the floor, picked it up and packaged it for the customer in front of me. After clearly seeing what she did, the customer asked her to make new naan. The server complained and denied it fell! but asked the naan maker to make a new batch nonetheless, and put the package of floor naan to the side.
The server tried to slip the package of floor naans into my order. When I told her I wanted a fresh set because I knew they fell on the floor — she refused saying my order was already packaged.
Only after telling her that I don’t want butter on my naan — she acceded and asked the naan maker to make new ones
While we waited, she quickly opened the package, cut up the floor naan and added it to the buffet tray of naans. When questioned, she denied everything. Lost my appetite, and just left at that point.

I am no Indian cuisine connoisseur, but I had quite a great first experience at Brar’s. My friends and I had traveled from Buffalo (yes…Buffalo) to come here as my two friends were craving some really good vegetarian food. We were seated promptly and quickly greeted by our server. I honestly really do not know a whole lot about Indian food, but I found all the dishes I tried quite tasty and flavorful! Since I’ve never been to a restaurant like Brar’s I was a little worried about the variety they would have being only vegetarian and the fact that I usually can’t stomach super spicy foods, but this was not the case at all! I especially liked the area where you could order dosas fresh. They also had a good variety of desserts to top off the meal. The service was quite good, dirty plates being cleared very fast from our table. Overall a good first experience.

This place is Indian vegetarian heaven and what’s more, one of the very very few Indian restaurants not likely to give you mad diarrhea. Seriously I eat here twice in one week and had extremely normal poo the whole week.
The selection of dishes at the buffet is impressive and as a meat eater I found my appetite more than satisfied.
The golgapee station and the dessert section where the best part of the dining experience. They make fresh dosa on site if you are super into dosa.
paan after dinner also available.

This is a buffet style restaurant. All vegetarian food with different sections: Indian food, Chinese food, Salad/​pasta bar, Dosa’s, Chat/​Gol Goppa’s, Fruit, Dessert, etc etc.
When you first walk in you’re excited that you’re seeing so many options and can’t wait to dig in. We tried a little bit of everything and the food was less than average. A lot of the items tasted sour — dry channa and yogurt. The only thing we all enjoyed was the Dosa’s + Sambar and the Gol Goppa stall. It’s way too expensive for the kind of food they serve.
You do get seated pretty quickly and service was okay as well.
Will not return. Ever.

Buffet is great. Quality has gone down a tad bit in the last 10 years. But still good wholesome good. Great place. Original review
New review: rating changed from 4 to 2. Cold food tasteless food choices have gone down considerably. Would not eat that food for free. It was the gem of brampton. I would not go back

I’ve been to Brar a few times and it’s always packed — get here early or be prepared to wait! I enjoyed all of the things I had, and didn’t even miss the meat. The motichoor ladoos are SO good. As stuffed as I am when I leave this place, I always buy a few for later.

Food is so home made, taste is so good, if you ask for a beverage you’ll have to wait a bit.
I’ll come back for sure!

Food was crap in buffet. Falvourless and bland.
Not at all authentic. specially for 19 $ a person for lunch on weekends it was garbage.
