Luk's Diner

The new management should IMMEDIATELY change the restaurant name as they are tarnishing the name of Luk's Diner, which was a staple in this community. The server did not know what was available on the menu and had to ask the chef multiple times. The food was beyond inadequate compared to the old Luk's Diner. They are banking on the hundreds of good reviews from the previous owners, which does not reflect the current nature of this establishment. I highly recommend you attend this establishment if you are looking to be disappointed.

If you like your club sandwiches with 3 slices of Wonder bread, a tiny piece of chicken, and 2 bacon strips for $20, this is the place for you. Bonus points if you enjoy it when your waiter/waitress doesn’t know what’s offered on their own menu. The old Luk’s diner is gone, really sad to see. I do not recommend going here in the restaurant’s current state.

We heard about the new menu items coming out and were blessed to try them. The Chef has deep culinary skills and recipes for many worldly dishes. A real treasure of cooking from the heart. Have had many breakfasts here with my family and am excited for things to come from the Chef. A great addition to the community offering broad selection of meals and drinks and fresh home style cooking. We wish you could taste the photos to truly understand the freshness and attention to detail/art of the Chefs cooking. Expand your culinary horizons and chat with Nav about what you like and how you would like it (mild, medium, spicy, sweet, hot, cold, etc.). The Lamb was carefully sourced as it was fresh and tender. The Curry for the Lamb had just the right amount and blend of spices and was served medium-level as we requested. The Basmati style long grain rice was also cooked to perfection. The Fish Pakoras were unlike anything I have ever had and paired well with the spicy mint sauce. The batter was perfect and the Tilapia fish inside the Parkoras were meaty and juicy and not dry at all from frying. Its some kind of magical process. Served over a bed of fresh crispy green peppers and red onions. The Naan bread is incredible and not too thick and chewy like some other places. Adding garlic to the Naan turned up the flavor! The Naan really pairs well with the Pakora (Iike a fish taco), and the Rice and Lamb and Curry and Biryani too. To top everything off we had the fresh, hand-crafted cold Cheese/Milk dessert (Rasgullas/RasMalai, I think) and hot Indian Hot Syrup-Soaked Donut Holes (Gulab Jamun, I think). We wish Nav success in his endeavor to share these tastes with us all. Give it a try and be understanding with the work and effort it takes to bring us fresh, high quality, home made family foods. Sorry there are no pics of the Fish Pakora because we were fighting over eating them all so fast (careful, hot) we forgot to snap a pic. Next time we will. The portions were generous and great value all around. Took out the leftovers and kept eating them for another meal or two. ENJOY! PS-Still serving all the breakfast/lunch traditional favorites too and we think the diner will be open later. Don't forget to take a break for yourself, Nav ;-).

Excellent place to go! Great prices and great portions. Service was fast and extremely nice. Above and beyond. A new favorite spot. Come here and you won't be disappointed. I had breakfast, so I can't speak to everything, but it was excellent.

This is my first time trying Luk's diner off of a recommendation, and it exceeded my expectations. I worked in the service industry for a long time so my standards are admittedly very high and I can be "particular". Everything was cooked exactly how I like it, and they made sure I was happy. The owner is one of the kindnest people I have ever met. Generous and genuinely cares about feeding people quality food. It's refreshing to find a humble diner that produces amazing food and impeccable service. The prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere is simple and cute in the best way. Oh and the BEST cappuccino!!! Overall a wonderful experience you need to have yourself 😊

We came here for a Saturday brunch and enjoyed a delicious meal and a cozy vibe. The manager is very friendly and gave us some good recommendations. We also enjoyed some conversation with him about the diner. We ordered “Luk’s Breakfast”, “Smoked Salmon Benedict” and “Mediterranean Omelette with mushrooms”. We also ordered bottomless coffee. The food was delicious with fresh ingredients. Would definitely want to come back to try more of their menu items.

This place is indeed a hidden gem in Burlington. I went with a group of friends and we all enjoyed our food. The service was remarkable considering the size/diversity of our group. Kudos to the new owner, Sam. He is a gentleman and his passion for food and service is very much evident.
