The Indian Cuisine

Whether you are new to Indian cuisine or were born into it, The Indian Cuisine is definitely a must try. Although there’s a menu, I would recommend first timers to try the buffet, which is impressive. It has a wide variety of dishes and is reasonably priced. Above all, the quality of the food served is far superior than what you normally get at a buffet. Furthermore, the fact that fresh nans are included in the price of the buffet makes this a really outstanding proposition. Even my wife who doesn’t like Indian cuisine had a tremendous time with the lamb stews, which were delicious. The butter chicken was my personal favorite because of its creamy sauce and melt-​in-​your mouth texture.
The place is well light and clean, but it is rather small, which means that if you expect it to be busy, you probably should make a reservation, especially if you’re going to be a lot. The staff was very friendly, jovial, and accommodating, making our time there a great experience.
Hence, I gave 5 stars because it manages to be the best Indian buffet in the neighborhood. It’s certainly not the best Indian restaurant ever in Toronto, but it’s not trying to get Michelin stars. It’s trying to provide great and authentic dishes, and a family-​type ambiance at an affordable price, and in this regard, it has passed with flying colors.

Great butter chicken. Small place. Buffet line has the usual dishes. Tandoori chicken was very flavorful. Veg korma was also very tasty. I will visit again and recommend to friends and family.

We called ahead on a Sunday evening to book a table for 4. By the time we got there, around 630pm, it was pretty empty, so that’s good.
They have an a la carte menu or a buffet price. We went with the buffet for $ 15 each.
The buffet table spans about 20 different dishes (different types of curry, rice, desserts, veggies, salad bar).
Butter chicken, goat mutton, and the tandoori chicken stood out for me, as I kept going back for more.
They will also serve fresh naan bread (regular & garlic) to go with your buffet.
Overall, it’s a nice restaurant and for the price, it’s definitely worth your money.

Authentic Indian food. Their garlic naan bread is amazing!!! They make it fresh and deliver it to your table. (Instead of having it readily available at the Bedset) buffet pricing is also very affordable around $ 15 – 16 per person.
The buffet selection is not big but decent for what you are paying. The best was the meats. Lamb, chicken was good and the sauce was great with the naan bread. The tandoori chicken was really good too!!!
After eating such a meaty meal, they had very fresh watermelon and cantaloupe. They also have a selection of ice cream.
I also tried out their mango beer (cheetah) it was great! Especially with all the spicy food.
We came pretty early around 6pm on a Sunday. We were the first ones to arrive but it slowly got busy by 7pm. The buffet area is really small so it is best to come when it is less busy as there is no place to stand in that area.
The washrooms are not very clean. The sink is shared between male and females and also not very clean…
However the food was good so I would come here again.

It’s hard to go wrong with a $ 14.99 dinner buffet option. I came by on a weeknight. Excluding the dessert and appetizers, I remember counting about 6 vegetarian options and I think 4 meat options. Not bad at all. I also liked that they had both pakoras and samosas out on the buffet too. Perhaps most surprisingly, they also had noodles and spring rolls… really? Hmm…
The naan is brought fresh to your table, both the standard and garlic flavours are offered. This was easily the highlight of the meal. Good stuff.
The only thing that was missing that I wish they’d had was saag.
They also had some desserts out. In addition to the standard Indian buffet dessert offerings, I appreciated the fruit they put out (watermelon, cantaloupe, and grapes — possibly varies with season). Nothing special but at least something to refresh the palate after an intense Indian meal. They also had four ice cream flavours for you to choose from which was a nice touch.
Service was friendly and of standard courtesy. Wasn’t too busy given that it was a weeknight but they had a good couple of tables there. Interestingly I noticed that they had some flyers that advertised «UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT!» and that there was a lot of «fresh, hygienic food.» What do they mean by hygienic food? Was it not hygienic under the previous management? Am I the only person who finds it slightly disconcerting when a restaurant feels the need to advertise that it’s under new management?
Oh well, bottom line is that I still enjoyed the meal and would come back if I was ever in the area looking for Indian.

Excellent quiet uptown restaurant; Good tasty food;Extensive variety and the BEST chewiest naan I’ve tried; Will definitely be back for more.

3.5 stars!
I’ve been searching for an Indian restaurant in the Yonge/​Finch/​Steeles area for awhile, and stumbled upon this place on Unilocal.I came here for AYCE lunch ($ 12.99) on a Sunday afternoon. They serve lunch from 11am-​3pm, and then dinner buffet/​à la carte at 5pm for $ 14.99. The service was great, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy, small, and very similar to most other Indian buffet restaurants out there.
The lunch included a variety of dishes, including chicken vindaloo, tandoori chicken, channa masala, saag paneer, butter chicken, goat curry, some eggplant dish, pakoras, basmati rice, dessert, ice cream, and a few other dishes. They also serve plain or garlic naan with the meal. All that for $ 12.99 was pretty good to me! I also ordered a mango lassi which was very creamy and delicious ($ 3.99 I believe).
All in all, a good place with a great variety of dishes to try. The butter chicken was a bit more on the tomatoey side, but it was still okay. However, for the price, the food was pretty decent. I’d come here again whenever i’m in the mood for Indian buffet! Another good thing is that they have a buffet at dinner time too, which not all places have.

Very average food. Price was ok. Oddly they didn’t have biryani in the buffet. Food was salty. Desert was good quality. Will not go back only because there was nothing special about the place.

Is it the most delicious Indian food ever? To be perfect honest, I’d have to say it’s OK. It’s a small restaurant in a somewhat old shopping plaza, and I agree with the other reviews that it’s a little bit dingy.
The best thing about Indian Cuisine for me is what you get for the price. At $ 15 for an entire AYCE/​buffet dinner, I think it’s very reasonable. There isn’t a huge variety at the buffet cart, but there are at least 12 different dishes or so which range from the ever-​popular butter chicken, fried cauliflower, lamb curry, goat curry, and spinach paneer.
The best dish is one which isn’t in the line — it’s unlimited, freshly baked naan brought to you from the kitchen. Soft, warm, and with a lovely char marking/​flavour, you can choose from regular or garlic naan. I recommend the garlic naan.
Considering that the price of one dish at dinner will cost you about $ 12 anyway (without naan, which is an additional $ 1.50 or so), the buffet dinner is a good deal. Though I wish in general the chefs would be a bit more generous with spices, I think you get what you pay for and the deal here is very fair.

My friend brought me here tonight for my pre-​birthday meal — which we do for each other annually.
The place is not very big, and the tables are a little close for comfort, but the food /​variety is quite good, and the staff there are extremely accommodating.
Also — the Naan is the best I have ever had.
My only complaint with the place is the cleanliness. Surfaces are relatively clean, but It looks like the dining room and the kitchen haven’t been THOROUGHLY cleaned for a long time — there is a dinginess to the place — especially with the walls.
I would love to see them give the restaurant a fresh coat of semi-​gloss (NOT flat) latex paint, and get rid of some of the bric-​à-​brac that just collects dust and makes the place look cluttered.

Holy crap this place is amazing! Best in the area for sure! The butter chicken is the best I’ve had in a while. Service is good, price is reasonable, love it! Will be coming back for sure.

Ordered delivery from here last night and we are super happy with the food, value, and service! The food came within (actually early) their estimated delivery time, and there was no charge for delivery. We ordered butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and the fried eggplant (vegetarian) — great value and HUGE portion sizes. We were shocked! Also, most of their entrées, although already modestly priced for the huge portion size, include naan or rice with the order!
Highly recommend and will definitely order again for our next Indian fix.

I’ve been here several times, with friends for the lunch buffet, and perhaps once for dinner, also for the buffet. This time we came on a Tuesday night, and decided to skip the buffet and order a la carte. The rationale was that the food wood be fresher.
There were a handful of other patrons. It wasn’t super busy, but it wasn’t empty, either.
We ordered the lamb rogan josh, shahi paneer, peas pulao rice and naan. We were asked how spicy we wanted the food; and we replied hotter rather than mild.
The shahi paneer was delicious; very creamy and flavourful. The rice was colourful, but there could have been more, considering we had two main dishes. The portions of the main dishes were generous. The naan was better than all right, but not terrific. The big disappointment was the lamb. The meat was over-​cooked and tough. The spice, however, was bang on.
The service was attentive, but not overly so. Our water glasses were kept full. However, they never asked us how everything was; so I had to broach the subject of the meat myself. The waiter mumbled something but I didn’t catch it. Twice.
I probably wouldn’t have bothered posting a review if it had ended there. But when I reviewed the bill I noticed the rice dish was charged at $ 4.99, and I was pretty sure It was less than that in the menu. Going to the cash I checked the menu, and sure enough, it was $ 3.49. I wanted to mention something, but after taking my money and giving me my change, he moved to the back and ignored me. He’d seen me checking the menu against the bill.
I decided not to wait further. I took the extra $ 1.50 out of his tip.

Great local place for a very delicious AYCE Indian buffet. The price was also agreeable. I found that the staff were incredibly outgoing and great with checking in with your needs, always refilling your water and naan, but also courteous to ask before doing so. They have Bollywood clips playing on the TV, and to be honest, I’m so whitewashed that I could never stand watching them as a kid, but I found myself staring at the screen and… Enjoying it?! Hahaha.
Been back a few times and absolutely love the food. Coincendentally, a friend of mine recommended this place to me saying they loved the food, too. They didn’t realize I had already been!

Meh. After reading high reviews my expectations were pretty high, so maybe that contributes to my disappointment.
Came at 7pm on a Saturday night, place was empty lol. Bad sign.
Ordered two dinner buffets. Not a huge selection. 5 meat curries, which is reasonable. But not much in terms of side appetizers and tandoori items.
Everything tasted bland, average. The spring rolls, chicken kebab thingy and tandoori chicken were particularly bad. Dry, tasteless, cardboardy.
The butter chicken is a 4/​5, goat curry a 3/​5, and the naan was fresh from a tandoori oven. So that’s why this wasn’t a complete 1 star.
The service was good and the owners seem like very nice people. Maybe my standards and expectations are just too high?

Food was ok.
We ordered from the menu instead of the buffet as we like particular items that weren’t necessarily offered from the buffet. We also showed up for a late dinner and the food was not necessarily just made.
The service was incredibly slow. There are probably only 20 tables in the restaurant only which a quarter were occupied.
I wouldn’t go back as it isn’t in the local vicinity for me and was around the corner from where we were that day — there are better restaurants out there with better service.

Mmm, filling.
Second time taking out from here, and was definitely pleased again.
Samosas and Bhajia appetizers, accompanied by coriander and tamarind sauces. The sauces were a little thin compared to what I am accustomed to, but they still were good.
Had four dishes shared for mains, Lamb Biryani, Butter Chicken, Chicken Korma and Mushroom Mutter Paneer.
All were plentiful, not lacking meat nor paneer. Surprising actually. Not to this place in particular, but an overall dining experience that four adults and one child all could sample each dish, more than one morsel of meat each.
The chicken was moist and tender in the butter chicken, a good sign, not dried out leftover buffet scraps repurposed for the dish. Nice and fresh.
Only downsides I found were the Biryani lacked sultanas and the korma was a tad salty. Not the end of the world, but worth mentioning.
And finished with Mango Lassi, which were just right.
Yum, need to do the sit down buffet there one time.

Awesome authentic Indian cuisine. Came here for dinner and paid 15.99. Buffet comes with chili fish, 2 types of Tandoori chicken, chicken vindaloo, butter chicken l, chili fish and more.
The service is very good for an ayce. They gave us 1 order of garlic nhan for free.

Read reviews about this place and since I was in the area, decided to check it out. Didn’t opt for the lunch buffet and ordered a la carte instead — Madras chicken (which I found had good flavour but not as spicy as the menu indicated), chicken lababdar (too sweet for my liking but if you’re not a fan of spice, this would be a good dish to order), garlic naan and laccha paratha (both freshly made), gulab jamuns — strict ok: $ 1 each so didn’t really care.
My peeves about this place :
1. When we entered there was such a cold reception, not a smile or acknowledgement from 4+ staff
2. We seated ourselves and weren’t acknowledged for a while. I tried to pass it off like they were busy setting up their lunch buffet so would eventually come around. Nothing for 10 mins. Agitated I then asked for a menu to be brought to us.
3. There was a person taking photos of the place, I believe may be the owner — found him very fake. Completely different persona when talking to Caucasian patrons. He’s Indian/​Nepali– soooo shame!!! While they might be your regular patrons in the area, if you don’t treat other communities or new customers, expect to have a nose dive with your business.
4. When other customers walked in for the lunch buffet (read — Caucasian), there was so much hustle and bustle and enthusiastic smiles, channel was promptly changed to CP24 (we endured an hour of Nepali prayer procession music prior to this on TV)
5. Oh surprise — treated very well when the bill came around, smh
6. Charge card machine defaulted with a comm error 4 times. The hostess decided she was going to try it and confirmed the tip amount thrice aloud as she insisted on keying it in, to the great amusement of the person I was having lunch with and patrons seated behind us. So very strange!!!
Anyway, if it wasn’t for the food I would rate this place zero but the I can’t blame the chefs there who are obviously doing a wonderful job with the food.
May return to try their lunch buffet without needing much from the ‘service’ factor.

Plenty of Indian buffets on yonge st closer to me and yet I am drawn to the acquired taste of my perception on Indian food… Their oven-​baked flat bread aka naan/​khamiri has to be fresh-​CHECK! Butter chicken creamy and in a big BIG tray-​CHECk!!! Spicy but not too spicy and a smaller buffet selection focusing on the taste factor, «more naan my good sir, pls and tnx!!» Comes out hot and fresh.
No fancy deco here, maroon colored table cloths brought me back to grandma’s hosting of bingo nights. Plenty of food without minding the ambiance effect on guests. The food must be delicious enough to distract us from our surroundings though right? Winning! Indian place and my Lola’s place both get it.
The price here for the buffet is like winning (AGAIN) all those bingo jackpots plus all the butter chicken you want. Although the last time I was here, the kind server informed us that this particular buttery goodness was only served Fridays so do call ahead for assurance on this mind blowing cream dream before I’m blamed for disappointment.
