Indian Street Food Co.

If I had to describe this restaurant very briefly, I'd tell you this is a diamond in the rough. This place is squeezed between the shops on Bayview and I would never have expected to see a gorgeous little restaurant like Indian Street Food. It's classy, clean, and very well taken care of. We were lucky to get in just before the dinner rush, and it was nice and quiet, but it fills up fast! The waitstaff were excellent and very attentive. If I needed anything, they were right on top of it, whether it was drink refreshment or the need for more of the delicious food. We ate some table favourites, but the star of the evening was the masala lime lamb. I'm not from the city, but I would come back here again and again to enjoy this dish. It's simple, supple, and absolutely delicious. I could not stop from finishing it and cleaning the bowl. Please visit this restaurant. You won't regret it. Thanks for a lovely meal.

Decided to dine here today. The menu options were decent, and the dining room was clean. Service needs work since it was slow, however, the staff was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer our questions. Ordered a spicy prawn roast for an appetizer. The seasoning was good and had a nice kick but it was salty. We also ordered Kaali Mirch chicken curry and chicken Kadahi. We felt that chicken kadahi was generic, tomato-based and slightly sweet, similar to other curries we had in other restaurants. Nothing sets this dish apart from other places. The Kaali Mirch was our favourite. It was creamy and flavourful. Overall we had a good experience. I would improve the service matching it to Micheline's standard. The bathrooms were clean but needed a little love. The phone answering etiquette needs improvement.

Reading through the reviews, I'd say majority of them are accurate re. the flavors and the hype and I should have listened to them. Clearly this restaurant has been rated in the michelin guide by a non-indian who wasn't able to see through the façade unlike actual Indians who know their tastebuds well and have judged this place rightfully. Though I don't want to only focus on the glum side, the flavours in the Chicken Thali were not all bad, like the eggplant mash, samosa, dal and the dessert were good. But unfortunately everything else fell flat. The chicken curry was a huge disappointment and surprisingly it was the only dish served in a 'Chicken thali'...like for real? For the price and the added charges to my bill, I was like nah...not worth an additional tip. Service was good, and since I went late in the afternoon I was the only one there, so the atmosphere was fine.

Amazing taste Indian food. The top Indian restaurant in Toronto. Great combination from chefs tasting menu.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Toronto. Pretty much every single dish was top notch—in particular, I'd highly recommend the cauliflower appetizer, and the tandoor chicken—the cocktails were no less impressive, and the service was extremely nice. A restaurant fully deserving of the accolades it's won.

This is my first time in an upscale Indian restaurant in Canada, probably 2nd time ever. There's something elegant about the food here, besides being flavourful. Perhaps it wasn't too oily? I'm not sure what it is but I'll definitely be back. Of course, there's certainly level of creativity from the chef, it wasn't common simple Biryani or chicken Tandoori. Service and atmosphere were top-notch as well

This place peaked my interest based on its inclusion in the 2023 Michelin Guide. I was not disappointed. The service was excellent, the vibe was chill, and of course the food was top notch. I got the tasting menu which came with 5 appetizers and a main dish which consisted of small portions of different curries, rice, 2 garlic naan pieces, Gulab Jamun, and Raita. It was the perfect amount of food to fill us up but not get too stuffed. The quality and taste of the food was what I was expecting from a place that made it into the Michelin Guide and the service was also up to standard. Overall, I strongly recommend this place if you're nearby and there's an open table! Note that we went on a Saturday at roughly 12 and it was very open, but this place gets much busier at dinner time.

I was looking for a fine dining experience with art of food and heard that this restaurant got the Michelin recognition so I had to try it. The ambience is beautiful , the dishes are delicious Must try the Prawn curry , Samosa , Daal , Spicy lamb chops and Eggplant fries .This really is a hidden gem on Bayview. We had an amazing experience and will be going back as we live right around the corner.
