Slumdog Bar & Grill

First impression was good, fun atmosphere with good tunes, friendly & smiling staff.
Drinks looked great but not boozy, very watered down.
Menu had promise but such a wide range of variation that is very hard to cover well in a small kitchen.
Last but not least, the amount of cleavage among the staff was scandalous. It even distracted my female friends who are all curvy and mature.
I wouldn’t go back on purpose unless there was a change in menu focus or a better bar program.

The food was alright. Chilli beef not at all what I was expecting. The 5 cheese lobster dip was amazing which would have increased my rating for this place.
What really brought my rating down for this place was the mandatory gratuity. It was only my girlfriend and I, not a party of 6 or more where I would actually find that acceptable. And they charged gratuity on the after tax amount. Didn’t even do it properly.

Ok this probably is the classiest place in Brampton. I was completely surprised how the inside was compared to the outside. 2 notes:
1. this is a great place for locals. Do not waste your time just to check this place out if you live far away.
2. If i was reviewing the hakka, this probably would be 2 star, but keep in mind its called Slumdog BAR AND GRILL. (keywords…it does not ever say hakka) Stay away from the hakka. this is the negative thing only.
Now i been here a few times, sometimes for a beer, sometimes to watch UFC as they do show it. UFC does get packed so come early.
I really did enjoy there hamburgers, and wings. Pretty damn good and very filling. Beers are decently priced, and very cold :) Once again. stick to the normal menu and avoid Hakka.
The staff is great, never had an issue. Very polite from the manager/​door man or whatever he does (seems like a lot) to the waitresses that always make sure the beer is full :)
Lots of T. Vs to watch the game. Sometimes the music does get to loud on a weekend, but meh… your at a bar. And you can get the stereotypical brampton wannabe thugs in here. but they are harmless.
Once again, this is a place i would not say you have to come visit from all over. But for people who are local to here, great place for a drink or watch the game.

Clean place, friendly staff and overpriced drinks… Just your run of the mill bar, which attempts to change itself into a club/​lounge on Friday and Saturday by cranking the music with no dance floor… um. We got there at nine and were done screaming over the music to try and have a conversation by eleven. It is fine to play music but upping the volume so high that people beside each other cannot speak to each other is just disrespectful.
As for the food, meh… I ordered the spinach and lobster dip, it was incredibly cheesy which was not specified in the menu and just didn’t go well with the lobster. A big disappointment.
The drinks? I ordered the Blue margarita and it tasted like it was made with rum instead of tequila. Not impressed.
I really wish my friends and I did not choose to come here to catch up because it was just a night of let downs. My friends were awesome though.

I hope someone who owns this joint listen to the people, your spot is amazing décor is nice very very clean i was quite impressed for a local place that has class and style but lets talk food, the hakka menu sucked you cant call that hakka food unless the food was hacked to death then cooked, it was bland and some dishes were under seasoned and watery, chilli chicken was way to runny, black pepper corn beef had more pepper corns than beef very strong taste, the fried rice was far from fried it tasted like uncle bens rice and the chowmein was very bland overall the hakka style of cooking was not there and after spending 65 bucks on thoes items it was overpriced and not worth it… little advice if the food is good people will pay to eat from a classy joint… get smart and do it right. Cheers ill be back if u change.

Atmosphere is nice. Food on the other hand was unfortunately not my favourite. We ordered from the Hakka side of the menu. It was nothing amazing. Pretty plain and lacked the classic Hakka flavour. I will probably give it another chance and order some non-​Hakka items.

Had a few drinks here and a order of chicken wings.
The ambiance and décor was very good and it felt like I was in a much better restaurant then the location suggest.
The wings were big and juicy. A lot better then most wings I’ve had. I had the dry rub jerk if I recall correctly. My sister ordered take out once and it was the worst Hakka food I’ve ever tasted. So I’d say the menu is hit or miss.
The service was really lacking. Took a while to get a order in and once it was in it took a while to get our beer and food. Oh well.
I would try it again just for the fact it’s close to home.

Last minute decision for where to go for drinks and a bite with friends… Slumdog? Sure, the name fit the mood. Haha!
This is your typical sports bar/​restaurant, large TV screens playing all the local sports team games… In one long glance I saw basketball, hockey, and soccer… OH MY!
The crowd this Friday night was heavy on testosterone as I walked in with my guy friends and heard cheering from the bellows of a manly octave.
It was the restaurants anniversary so the place and staff were dressed up pretty fancy. Not sure what the norm is here as this was my first time…
I like that the seating had options of couches around a table, booths and free standing tables and chairs in the middle of the room.
Fridays are Mojito night so I indulged myself to three of those yummy puppies!
Trying to be a little more health conscious, i picked a spinach, strawberry, goat cheese salad. It was a little heavy on the dressing but my fault for not asking for it on the side. My friend had the hot wings, doused in Frank’s red hot! Yum! I had two to taste! If I wasn’t feeling so glutton-​guilty I would have ordered the Jamaican Jerk wings!
The strange thing we all noticed at 10pm, the lights went way down and the lazer lights came out, the music got louder and it turned my rating from a ⁴⁄₅ to a ³⁄₅. It felt like they were going for more of a club atmosphere then. I had to raise the volume of my voice to talk to my friends and almost take out a flashlight to finish my food. LOL. A nice touch would have been to take out some little candles for the tables. All of us looked a little confused, I’m guessing this is something they did just because it was a special night for them. But if I’m coming here again after 10pm i’ll call ahead to see if i’m coming to a club or a restaurant atmosphere.
Overall I’m a fan, I just preferred to be able to see and hear this time around: D

Went here a few weeks ago tried the Hakka food (green curry chicken) was actually very good.
And the fish and chips were too.
Then I came back today and had the nachos, tandoori fajitas and kids had the grill cheese and cheese pasta.
The food was way below average the nachos were dry barely any cheese and it was mozzarella and not nacho cheese barely any toppings.
The grill cheese was just flat bread with some mozzarella shredded on top like a side of garlic bread very bland tasting.
The fajitas weren’t that great either.
Raw hard veggies covered in a sauce that was burning on the sizzling griddle.
Tasted burnt and again not much flavor. The pasta was good as was the sweet potato fries.
I do love the ambiance and the Hakka food and maybe the Chinese is good too.
But as of what I ate today not at all pretty disappointed.

I have been here for lunch and dinner. Service was very good and the food was nice too. The interior of the restaurant is well done. I plan on coming back to watch a UFC fight and some drinks on a Saturday night.
