Daal Roti - Oakville

The restaurant is beautiful and well maintained in terms of ambience. Wish I could say the food was the same. While there are many great restaurants to choose from, I wouldn't personally recommend this one. I tried the Chicken Seekh Kebab, omelette, and lachcha paratha, and unfortunately, the kebab was the most disappointing. It was dry, tough, and lacked any noticeable flavor, making it the least enjoyable kebab I've had so far. I hardly had 2 pieces of it and paid 18 bucks for that.

I had an amazing experience at Daal-roti! The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Manchurian, Masala Naan, Hara-Bhara kabab,Tandoori chap, Kaju Masala, and Paneer Lababdar. Each dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly prepared. The generous portions and reasonable prices made it even better. I highly recommend Daal-roti for anyone looking for a fantastic meal with excellent service.I can’t wait to return....

Located in a business park on Iroquois Shore Rd. just east of Trafalgar Rd. in Oakville, Daal Roti has reopened under new management approximately two months ago prior to the time of this writing. They are a small and quaint Indian restaurant that offers a-la-carte service in the evenings and a daily lunch buffet throughout the week and weekend. Though we did not sample their buffet offering during the day, we did select their menu items for dinner on a weekend evening. Greeted by the owner and server as we entered the restaurant, we found them to be very friendly, cordial and helpful. It was quite apparent during our visit that they place great value on their customers and their satisfaction with the menu items selected, and the service provided. This was perhaps the highlight of our overall experience. Menu items selected were presented nicely in serving bowls very much typical for restaurants specializing in Indian fare. Food items were served at a good temperature directly from the kitchen and portion sizes are somewhat comparable to those offered at other restaurants, depending on what is ordered. Each of the menu items sampled were flavourful, and fresh tasting. However to be fair, though our opinions are entirely subjective as they should be, we could could not find anything about the food items selected impressive, or good enough to draw us back for a second visit. The Daal Makhani was very basic with one type of lentl and the consistency seemed to be watered down which took away from the creamy and full feeling of the sauce typically found at other restaurants. The Veg Pulav was colourful and presented nicely but we found it to be a bit oily, and made with I believe frozen vegetables instead of garden fresh. The Chicken Madras Curry has a nice mild coconut flavour and the chicken meat was somewhat tender. Unfortunately, with the few pieces of chicken in this dish for the price paid, we found it a a bit disappointing. Overall, prices for many of the food items found in their menu appeared to be moderately overpriced. Perhaps their lunch buffet offers better value for the money. Keeping in mind that the restaurant has been operating for two months under new management, it is understandable that the overall ambience of the restaurant fell short of making our dining experience comfortable and pleasant. The colour of the first dining area is a dark blue-grey colour and the second a lighter pastel green. There were no Indian inspired aesthetics to speak of that could have contributed positively to our overall experience. The restaurant dining areas felt stark and lifeless and not conducive to instilling a feeling of warmth and comfort. All said and done, we found that they tried to make a better than acceptable effort with respect to providing good customer service. However, we found that the overall quality of food items selected, portion sizes and value for the money, and restaurant ambience could be improved. There is definitely potential with this restaurant. Perhaps in the months to come everything will fall into place making this restaurant the “go-to” for Indian cuisine.

We were craving for Indian food and stumbled upon this restaurant and I'm so glad we did. My boyfriend is super-picky and he loved it too! Very flavorful! If you’re looking for real authentic Indian food, this is the place to go. Umang,our host, was awesome. Highly recommended.

We walked into the restaurant didn't know it's a buffet, but after a quick tour we decided to give it a try and we're happy with our decision. Food is fresh and hot, and nicely presented. I love goat curry, the spiciness is at their authentic level. The staff are patient and courteous, explaining the food to us. Roti and Nan are freshly made in the kitchen so they're not displayed, they'll ask you if you want them and they'll bring to your table. Place is clean, nice atmosphere. Weekend lunch is $18.99, which I find very reasonable with the variety and quality of food.

The service is great, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and (most) of the food is very tasty. However, the chicken used in the butter chicken had a weird taste. This is likely because they use dark meat chicken rather than white meat chicken (which is what I prefer). But taste is subjective and based on personal preferences. Overall, I would rather order the paneer next time, it was really good.

Stopped on our way at this place for dinner. Loved the dahi puri served in exotic style. Tried hara bhara kabab, paneer lababdar and chicken curry which didn’t disappoint. Service was top-notch!

From the moment we walked in, the friendly staff made us feel very welcome. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, which set the tone for a great meal. Their $18 weekend lunch buffet is an amazing deal. It includes 12 main courses, with a perfect balance of 6 vegetarian and 4 non-vegetarian options. This means there is something to satisfy everyone’s taste buds. I particularly enjoyed their mutton and chicken curries, and butter chicken masala and paneer tikka masala, and reshmi kadhai which were cooked to perfection and full of flavor. One thing I noticed was that they don’t offer ice cream, but they more than make up for it with their delicious desserts. The gulab jamun was soft and sweet, and the fruit custard was creamy and refreshing. While I did miss having biryani as part of the buffet, the wide variety of other dishes more than compensated for it. The naan was incredibly soft and complemented the curries very well. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying and enjoyable meal!
