This place is total gem 💎, I ordered halwa puri and keema naan. Everything is so delicious 😋 the best halwa puri i ever had in canada. It’s gonna be my go to place for food whenever I crave for desi food. The owner Ali bhai, is very nice & friendly and they have great customer service. I would recommend everyone.

Won’t recommend this place the guy kept forcing us to buy different items after we placed the order. The guy is crazy. My bill was 30 $ and he charged me 33 $. I will request health food department to do a food inspection just for our beautiful community of Durham. DONT WASTE MONEY.

We visited the store to pick up three different boxes for Diwali. The owner, Ali, generously spent over ten minutes recommending the best sweet pairings and even offered samples to help us choose. It was a thoughtful and engaging experience. This is truly a great mom-and-pop shop with a warm, personal touch.

I have been eating at Alnoor since past 4 years, and I can say it is one of the best restaurant. Specially their Chole Bhature, i have tried it at so many other restaurants but none can match the taste even close to Alnoor. You get two BIG crispy bhatoras, with super tasty chole, onion, achar and fried chilly, its like all that you can think of , at best price and best taste. Go and try it at least once, you will come here again and again.

Came here to pick up some snacks and food. Its way over priced. I picked up approx 2lbs of methai (10$/pound) and their curries special which included 1 chicken karahi, 1 nihari, 2 biryani, 4 pc chicken kebab, salad, raita, 4 pops and 4 naans $44.99... my total bill was 74.50$ The methai is okay. Food was not good and portions were significantly small. The biryani was gone bad and kebabs were like skinny pencils. Ended up theowing it out. Location was tidy but could use another good wipe down on the visible surfces. Customer service was good and friendly.

Had halwa puree. The Chana and also were good. The halwa was okay. Puree was pretty bad. Super oilly and greasy and the were soft they had become like crackers. All in all the price isn't bad but better to dine in and take out. Update : returned after a year to grab sweets (Methai) and I was told it's fresh but turned out very stale. Not impressed. Will not try again.

Overall, I cannot recommend Alnoor Kebab & Sweets. There are many other dining options in the area that offer better food, service, and ambiance. This visit was a disappointment, and I won t be returning. Guy at the front will try scamming you and upselling you like crazy, stay safe.

Quick service

July 21, 2024

This place is a complete scam. I asked the guy working here if he was the owner and he said no, I just work here . 2 mins later he says he s been working here for 30 years, he was a complete clown of a man. Kept forcing us to buy more and more things. Place is a complete dump; smelt like piss the moment we walked in. Not to mention the bullet hole that was very poorly patched up with styrofoam. I d recommend any other place than here. Stay far far away, and keep your money. This man shafted us so hard. I will never be going back.

It has a store set up with variety of desserts and insane Indian cuisine. The owner is very friendly and an amazing chef.

April 21, 2024

Crazy person at the counter, pushes to buy more things even when i said no he asks again and again. Asks religion belief without a reason. Informs he is giving plastic bag and favors on us customer as we dont carry our own bags. Talks slowly and when asked again says why are you wearing knip cap, remove it, while its -3C outside. Added chat masala in Biryani, who does that. Doesnt gave invoice and charges HST on cash payment. Overall experience buying from him was bad, wont recommend anyone

He charges extra for everything without even telling you. When you ask him how did it come to this much, he would break it down and then say well yeah its about $2 less. Like wth???

December 21, 2023

Take my word and dont go there! Were treated so rudely. He didnt want to give us extra plate and was getting very upset if we asked him how long the order would take. Even though we didnt make any mess there and cleaned our table. At the end, he handed us the whole big garbage can and told us to throw away the leftovers. Ordered haleem and paey. It was below the expectation. The haleem was so watery and paey didnt have any flavor. My whole day was ruined because of how this man treated us. I hope he sees this and changes his behavior with his customers from now.

Ok, I got to say, when you enter the place you feel like youre back in a store in India filled with the old school candy and chips! Although it would have been nice to have a bit more prompt service, the food stole the show! Freshly made samosas(the chicken was Amazon, the veg was really nice as well). The channa bhatura was Soo good too - perfect balance of spice and a fluffy bhatura! We also tried the sev puri which was a bit different, but still delicious - if you want it more spicy make sure to mention that! The owner was nice, and encouraged us to keep eating - hahaha we were sooo full - one plate of channa bhatura is good for 2 people! Such a warm meal - totally loved it!

December 21, 2023

The place itself looks devastated still Went there to buy sweets. This guy at the reception was in his own world. No customer service no manner of talking. Extremely rude. Disrespectful to customer. Will never go again in life. Wish I could rate this place 0. Pathetic place and service.

I went there on one of friends recommendation..... I ordered channa bhatura and masala tea .... For food I will give 4 out of 5 but .... For service... He is rudest person I ever met in Canada...... I know kitchen work is always busy.... But its doesnt give the owner right to speak rudely ..... We are paying for the food.... It was my first visit to this restaurant but owners behaviour made it last ...... I travelled specially from Oshawa for breakfast... But he just ruined my whole Sunday.....

I am embarrassed to say I have never been here, and it has been open for over 15 years! I went in to ask if they had Gluton-free food as I recently realized I have an allergy. So I went today (April 6, 2023). The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and showed me the many, many Gluton-free options. The food was absolutely delicious. I do not know if I enjoyed the food or the fantastic service more. I had the most melt-in-your- mouth butter chicken and rice dish. And then dessert make from chickpeas. I had no idea that gluton-free food could actually taste this good. I will absolutely be buying food from this awesome restaurant many times in future

The food was a good portion and tasty, even the rice had a nice flavour that completed the khari. I look forward to going there again...

As a tourist we picked our nearest restaurant for Pakistani breakfast it was 2 miles from our hotel We ordered Chana , halwa poori and Nihari both food was not freshly cooked but microwaved all food got dried because of microwaving. Chana and Aloo both sprinkled with ( indian chunky chat masala ) . Nihari actually was not taste like Nihari . Tea was sweetened by condensed milk didn t taste good. This place is over priced we paid CAD $67 for 1 Nihari, 1 Halwa poori combo , 2 chai and 2 naan 2 drinks . Not recommend for Pakistani taste

This place has been a staple in South Asian Cuisine in Ajax for at least 15 years (from what I know, probably more). Its really great seeing this small business still alive after everything, but its sad to see it so empty and some of the ridiculous reviews. The owner is kind, and from the looks of it, struggling to keep this establishment running. The food is really good (we usually love coming here on the weekend for Halwa Puri which is 10/10). The prices are a bit inflated but again, its a big place, almost always empty and with only one person working almost daily...what can you expect? The atmosphere isnt the best, its old and theres all types of non-restaraunt related items scattered throughout. Its almost nostalgic in a sense, but wouldnt go here for a romantic/fancy date. Give the owner the benefit of the doubt and try to support a small business when possible. Vegetarian options: Veggie available Kid-friendliness: Owner is friendly to all sorts of people Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp

if you want to throw your money in garbage then you can go to this place, to began with the worse quality of food and dont even get me started on how bad the condition of this restaurant/grocery store is. I am just shocked how they even pass health inspection. food is tasteless over priced to the moon. Broken chairs to sat on and a owner who manipulate customers into trying out his nasty food on your expense. excuse my language but please if you dont want stomach pain avoid this place....This place should shut down. I will be contacting the health association for an immediate health inspection.

December 21, 2023

Worse food and dirty place. Tables are nasty. FYI prices are based on owners mood. Don t recommend this place to anyone. He puts chat masala on everything to normalize the taste but it still tastes nasty. Also owner had question my religious beliefs. The level of unprofessionalism comes from this man is totally unacceptable. Don t forget to take a look at the tea price lol $7.99, he refuse to give you a printed receipt but after multiple requests he wrote down the prices. The reason I gave him the tip is because I still believe in my morals, even tho he is a ripoff

Well where to start. Called them to order 3 puris. The owner took the call and confirmed. I asked to cost, he said $9.99 and that it will be ready in 30min. I got there and when he passed on the payment terminal towards me it was showing $33 and was very nicely on the tip menu showing first option as 15% I was confused, asked him if he s charging me for correct order as I just ordered 3 puris and he told me it s $9.99 to which he replied yes 3 puri combos at $9.99 EACH!! I m like but I said three puris like actual 3 puris Surprisingly he refused to budge from the charges, told me he was busy and must have misheard and that he s sorry but I have to pay the full amount. I told him we are just two people and it will all go to waste and if he accepts some blame then why should I buy the incorrect order; but he stayed indifferent. Not wanting to make a fuss as there were his relatives in the restaurant, I paid and left. As I was leaving he said puris will be nice and soft for at least a couple of days and I can eat leftovers later well I live 5min away and when we started eating, half the puri crumbled into crispy crumbs. Wether it was the fact that I paid 3x more for it or if they were actually not very good, the food itself wasn t the best.. Rating for food itself 3 stars. But for not being courteous and helping, I d give him 1 star and safe to say will never be visiting again.

The paya did not contain any paya and the nihari was better but again mediocre - will stay away from these two dishes. The halwa puris were nicely packed but the chana was mostly masala and less chana and the aloo was also the same. The halwa was good and not oily. The chilly level is hot and the condiments are plenty - with chillies, achar and marinated onions. If youre looking for high quality pooris this is the go to place.

We had ordered halwa puri from this place a few months ago, in the evening, and it wasnt very good. There was a taste of oil in everything. We look a chance and ordered again today and it was amazing!!! We got halwa puri and naan and nihari for brunch. Everything was amazing. We didnt get the Aloo gravy with the halwa puri as promised, but Im sure that had a reason why they didnt include it.

If you are looking for some authentic Indian breakfast food in Durham, this is the place! If Google had 6 stars, would not hesitate to give them. Thanks for making us not miss home Ali! Cheers

We came and order halwa puri combo. It comes with chana, potato curry, halwa and 2 large fresh bhaturas. We have eaten halwa puri from usmania grill, silver spoon and many Indian restaurants. As we are indian we know indian food very well. The quality, quantity, price and taste of the food does not compare to all those other fancier places. The hospitality of the owner Ali was amazing. He was very welcoming. He went over and beyond for our service. We live in pickering. This is definitely our new spot. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! You will not be disappointed. In fact we have decided to come back for dinner with our family later today. Lol 10/10

The jalebi I ordered was not fresh and inedible. From the little bit we tried it tasted like it was a few days old. The second dish I ordered was their chaat papri. All the papri in it was saugy and the taste was awful. How can you sell food that is not fresh at all and charge that much. This was the first and last time I ordered from this place.

December 21, 2021

Wanted to try a different place for halfway puri so went here, the guy out there is like our halwa puri is the best and so I ordered 2 from him and took some chicken and veg samosa Once I reaches home and started eating omg it was horrible taste and the samosa was spoiled Never going back here for sure

The worst experience and any food inspector should cancel the license of this restaurant. I ordered ahead and picked up while I was traveling. He charged me more and didnt provide receipts. He sold the curry and samosas which are probably a day or two old and as I was traveling I cant go back and return it. He charged is almost double for substandard and stale food.

I wish they would hire a person who knows how to cook, if they want to stay in the restaurant business. Until they do that, I would avoid going there and pay high price for the food which is extremely poorly made and has the taste that will force you to write a one star review, like I have here.

Alnoor has to be the friendliest, happiest man on the planet. He runs this fantastic little gem of a restaurant in Ajax. He works everyday, always has a smile on his face, and makes all food from scratch and to your liking. The food is always fresh and delicious -he aims to please! We order regularly and tell all our friends about him. Ajax wouldn t be the same without him! *Don t listen to the negative reviews. People are complaining about items that aren t even on the menu (kitchari). Also, his poori is never tasteless or rock hard -pretty impossible when all food is made fresh and to order (the customer decides the level of heat/spice). Nasty people like this aren t helping anyone.

Visited this shop a few times for different occasions and found this place a pretty good one for sweets and snack... the samosas worth a special mention. The shopkeeper is also very pleasant, approachable and eager to make small talks with customers. However, tried goat biriyani and didnt like that very much. Nothing specific to complain, probably the cuisine is not very familiar to me. A word of caution: the price list displayed on the shop is somewhat misleading.

Was looking for halwa puri near me, and was pleasantly surprised to find this place in the results! Halwa puri was great, not oily or heavy. Nihari was the clear winner though! Excellent, well balanced flavors. The place has a rustic charm to it, and primarily its a take-out joint (there is seating available for dine in as well). I also found out that this place offers halwa puri breakfast 7 days a week, which is a first... this place also accepts cash or debit only, and credit card payments are NOT accepted. Do check if it out if you get a chance!

So this place has halwa poori 7 days a week and all day! I never knew about this place. Their halwa poori is amazing and will satisfy your craving for it :) They have Aloo gravy too which many places dont. So now you dont have to rush in the morning to catch halwa poori before the time ends or only on weekends, you can have it any day anytime within the operating hours of the business! The owner Ali is very generous too!
