Carnival | Contemporary Indian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar | Fun Dining Experience | Toronto

Really really amazing food! Everything we tried was amazing. For only being open for 3 months they definitely have food and drinks down pat! Our server was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was amazing, with a magician coming around to tables to perform some tricks. My only critique is I feel like they could use some fine tuning - food took a while, food came out sporadically not all together and I felt like some decor was kind of random? Overall I had a great time and I think the food and experience make it totally worth it. I think this restaurant will be an even bigger hit as they sort out all these little kinks. Extra props for giving us a comp bottle of sparkling wine and dessert! Keep up the awesome work!

This is a super unique & theatrical fine dining experience in Toronto 💕 Highly recommend this restaurant.

We randomly found Carnival Restaurant on Google and decided to celebrate both my boyfriend's and my birthdays there — and what a fantastic choice it was! From start to finish, it exceeded all our expectations. The restaurant introduces contemporary Indian cuisine in the most creative way. The food was absolutely delicious, each dish packed with bold, unforgettable flavors. But what truly stood out was the presentation of the meals and drinks — it felt like watching a live show! Their cocktail and mocktail selection is incredible, with so many unique options to choose from. Each sip was a surprise in the best way possible. The service was outstanding, with friendly, attentive staff who made us feel so special on our big day. The warm ambiance made the experience even more enjoyable, and to top it off, we were serenaded by the talented singer Maggie, whose beautiful voice added a magical touch to the evening. If you’re looking for amazing food, creative drinks, and a vibe that feels like a celebration, Carnival Restaurant is the place to be! We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and unforgettable memories.

My friend and I had the pleasure of visiting Carnival today, and I must say, Carnival is more than just a restaurant—it’s a destination for incredible food, warm hospitality, and memorable experiences. From the moment we entered, we were welcomed into a beautifully curated space with a vibrant yet relaxing ambience. The aesthetics are on point, making it the perfect spot for a casual lunch, a special celebration, or anything in between. The food was an absolute delight. Every dish was a harmonious blend of flavors, skillfully crafted and beautifully presented. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for a satisfying meal, Carnival hits all the right notes. The quality, variety, and attention to detail in every bite truly set it apart. What makes Carnival truly exceptional, though, is its people. The staff are attentive, kind, and make you feel genuinely cared for. And then there’s Dev, who is the heart and soul of the place. His warmth and hospitality are unmatched. Dev took the time to chat with us, making us feel like part of the Carnival family, and even treated us to a complimentary dessert as a thoughtful gesture—a moment we won’t forget. I can’t wait to return and enjoy the magic of a lively weekend night. This place offers everything you could ask for in a dining experience: outstanding food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. Whether it’s a quiet meal or an evening of entertainment, this place is a must-visit. CARNIVAL - Highly recommended! 🧡🧡

Went for an anniversary dinner and was absolutely stunned with the level of attention and care our hosts provided. The restaurant boasts a celebratory atmosphere with a healthy dose of grandeur and far exceeded any expectations their website or social media presence would set. Our drinks were served in chalices adorned with sparklers, our appetizers and desserts prepared right at our table by a friendly chef, and our main courses tasted nothing short of delicious. I'd strongly recommend celebrating any kind of event here, whether a personal milestone, family occasion, corporate dinner - anything. The place is purpose-built to provide positive energy to all who enter, and your hosts will surely find a way to deliver a top-notch experience.
