This place is such a hidden treasure. The food was exceptionally good. We ordered the non-veg thali and all the curries were finger licking good, especially the butter chicken. The naan was the MVP, so soft and so flaky. Also, shout out to the person who was working that afternoon. Such nice service! Overall highly recommend!

Me and my Wife went here for a late lunch because it was just outside of the TTC’s Greenwood Subway Station, you couldn’t ask for a better location. We are big fans of Indian food, so we decided to give this place a try….. And boy are we very happy we did. It’s a small place, but had a nice big sign outside that grabbed your attention, otherwise you might miss it. lol. The place has a few tables and a small patio, but the windows were nice and big and let lots of light in. The staff/Owner we very friendly and made sure we felt welcome. We ordered some Mango Lassi’s to start with and boy they were fantastic. So full of flavor and very creamy. I still can’t stop thinking of them even now, we both loved them. My wife had the Butter Chicken Bowl with rice and I had the Chicken Curry Bowl and we got some naan to share. The food was simply amazing! So full of flavor. The chicken in both dishes were cooked perfectly, so tender that they fell apart with the simple touch of your fork. The rice was perfect, just perfect and combined with the Curry and Butter Chicken….. It was just perfect. On top of that we got to watch the owner make the Naan from scratch and it was great. Nothing like fresh Naan to complete a meal. There was so much food left over from stuffing ourselves that we ended up taking home the leftovers. The amount you get for the price is fantastic, especially with prices the way they are now. Overall, if you are looking for a great cozy Indian Restaurant, look no further. The food is amazing and the service is great on top of that. We are both looking forward to going there again…. And if you live in the neighborhood, I envy you. Don’t miss out on this jem.

My last time buying from them . They just cheap out too much. Very inconsistent with their food. Been ordering their butter chicken madras for years. Loyalty doesn’t mean anything to them and when I had called plenty of times in the past to praise them they were appreciative. But when I call in regards to the really bad quality they don’t seem to care to rectify the situation. Its very hard to find quality indian food in the city. They all seem to cheap out in the end and dont seem to be consistent with their quality of food. For $20 there is no reason you only put three pieces of chicken. Food is overpriced but I paid for their quality for years. Today will be the last !

The place is a little hole in the wall kind of place. Clean, small and pleasant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was fast. The food was FANTASTIC!!! Definitely worth a visit. This restaurant is definitely worth the trip.

10/10 Naan - my favourite in the city to date so very happy to have tried. Butter chicken is very classic. The prices (at least for lunch, which is what we good) are comparatively great and it felt like good value for quality and volume for food. We will be coming back to try the dinner options and are very excited for that. Owners are friendly so good vibes. Indoor seating is a bit limited (see photos).

Incredible food and great service. Everyone was very nice, the owner even came out and served us. Really recommend dine in for here, the food and experience is much better. Food was really good, especially the mango butter chicken. There were big chunks of mango. Paneer bhaji was delicious!! Favourite thing I got. Saag goat was also very good, the goat was tender and the marrow was flavourful. Also got another lamb dish I cannot remember the name of but still really good.

I was quite excited to try this place and ordered take out. The dishes were aromatic, but rather spicy without mention on the menu. I traditional butter chicken was good, the chicken cooked perfectly. The Saag paneer was hard to eat and hurt my mouth. The garlic naan was amazing. I thought the rice basic.
