Food was fantastic. The fresh vegetable pakora were some of the best I’ve ever had. The samosas had a smooth filling - instead of chunky - and were seasoned well. Finally, the vegetable biryani had tons of filling and had a lovely smokey flavour to it. Everything was tasty and I will definitely go back to try more of their menu.

Good food and really friendly staff. Food is always fresh and tasty. Would recommend this place highly. Fair warning don't go there on an empty stomach or you will definitely spend more than what you wanted to ?

No fresh , half cooked potatoes and weird samosas I ever had i my life .. I will not recommend anyone!!

Few months back we tried two dishes from this restaurant and food is good.My experience is very bad today, we have ordered food for a value of more than 98$. It took more than 45mins to finish the order, It's a busy day for them I understand and waited more than 15mins after reaching for pickup.Finally I got my order in 4bags, it's lot of stuff, i trusted them and I couldn't & didnt check the items. I have reached home and realized I missed an item for which I have paid.I called them & explained, one who answered said, "ooh you missed to pick your order?" He must understand they missed to add the item. Well, He is good enough to say come and pick your item, but have traveled 17km to take my order using a cab. It is not worth going again..no wayTo this bizarre we didn't like the food, I have seen burnt paneer in my veg biryani, Pulav and mutter mushroom are diaster.Please take this as a feedback I strongly recommend take limited orders and deliver your best food, we are paying our hard earned money.May be with this experience I may not try to travel so long and pick again from here.

We bought some samosas, pakoras and gajar halwa from here.Everything was okay, wasn't really tasty. Also, the gajar halwa I ordered was made of orange carrots and the lady on the counter told me it was made of red carrots. Shame!I placed two different orders as I have to drop one for someone, I found a lot of things missing from our order and also they didn't pack chutney..Wait times were okay, it took me 20 mins from placing the order to collecting it.Order process was easy, staff was friendly, but food wasn't so good..I would only order from here if I don't have any other options.

Samosa are best...Paneer pakoda, veg pakoda are just fine...Among sweets, I have so far tasted gulabjamun, jalebi, boondi ladoo, rasmalai...Gulabjamuns are best here, but jalebi and rasmalai are just ok...Specially when you try to microwave jalebi, it gets that plastic texture and for sure not at all soft then....

The food is not good at all. It’s tasteless and stale. I ordered dal makhani and it was the worst. Vegetable jalferezi was nothing like it.. only tasted of peppers and potato. Overall food is nothing like authentic Indian food. It’s bland and tasteless. Even when I mentioned medium spicy, it was simply tasteless.. daal was undercooked not even close to dal makhani

I got a thali from here after moving to Hamilton but my usual spot was rajhdhani in etobicoke when I used to live in the GTA. Night and day difference. The food was quite inferior and the curries were really sour and I got like 6 thalis for a special occasion. For sweets too I find they are expensive and taste is mediocre.

Nice people, decent food.It didn't quite hit the spot for me, and it is expensive for takeout vegetarian Desi food.

I’ve been here a few times for takeout and it’s always so fresh and delicious. They’re so welcoming and will explain anything to you if you’re newer to Indian cuisine! I was unsure what the sweets were and the man behind the counter packed up 5 of the most popular ones with a smile. I recommend this place to all my friends! My go too dish is the Aloo Gobi, absolutely delicious.
