We were happy to return to this hidden gem in Ancaster. We received a friendly greeting upon arrival. We had reservations and were seated promptly. We did not feel rushed and our waitress went over the specials, and asked us about any allergies at our table. She was wearing a name tag that was visible. The restaurant is very warm and decorated appropriately, lighting not offensive and background noise perfect for conversation. We all ordered the special which was like a mini buffet of the most popular dishes. Not skimpy and all were delicious. We will be back. Also wanted to note on how clean everything was especially the restrooms. If you think people don't notice ...I do. Nice to see restauranteurs take pride in their establishment. Tony B.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Only problem is expect atleast 45 mins to an hour to wait for your food once you order. Maybe it’s a sign that they make it fresh :)

I had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional restaurant today and was thoroughly impressed! The ambience is warm and inviting, with impeccable maintenance that sets the tone for a wonderful experience. The culinary delights did not disappoint - I savored the delectable chicken tikka masala, paired with flavorful rice and freshly baked plain naan. What truly stood out, however, was the outstanding service. The staff were incredibly cooperative, patient, and attentive, making our visit truly memorable. I look forward to returning and exploring more of their mouth-watering offerings!"

Our experience at the restaurant was truly enjoyable, largely due to the excellent service provided by Supritha. Following her insightful recommendations, we ordered two special dishes that turned out to be outstanding. Supritha's patience and meticulous assistance greatly contributed to our positive dining outcome. The restaurant itself was impeccably clean and boasted a cozy ambiance. The music, while not overly loud, added an interesting touch. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment for a delightful dining experience.

Very nice Indian restaurant. Enough quantity & very Delicious food. Nicely decorated. Only thing I don’t like is waiting unnecessary. There were many seats available, still they put us to wait more than 15-20 minutes.

Best Indian food in the region, we’ve been regular diners and takeout customers for over 15 years. Super tasty, they always deliver a great meal. Very popular takeout choice in our extended family for birthday parties when we don’t want to cook. Delightful owner. Very reliable takeout, generous portions and fair pricing. Highly recommend.

We visited India Village for the first time this evening. We had a wonderful experience. The food was very fresh and full of flavour. We started with the onion Bhaji and samosa. Both were very very good. Best bhaji I’ve had. I also tried their mango lassi. SO good. Our table tried the coconut curry with chicken, the traditional curry with lamb, chicken korma and jalfrezi with beef. As well as garlic and buttered naan. Everyone loved their dishes. The meat was very tender and each dish had a plentiful amount of meat. The servings were also large, we all ended up taking some home. We will certainly return.

My recent dining experience at Ancaster India Village was a flavorful journey through the diverse and delectable world of Indian cuisine. The prawns garam Mirch masala I indulged in packed a punch with its fiery spice, yet the burst of flavors was utterly delicious. My wife savored her all-time favorite, the murg Irani, while my mom delighted in the rich and aromatic lamb Rogan Josh Kashmir. Even my kids were pleased with their beloved butter chicken and garlic naan, which were served alongside fragrant rice and crisp salad. However, despite the culinary delights, the experience was slightly marred by the seating arrangements. Despite the restaurant being empty, I requested a larger table, only to be informed that all tables were booked. Throughout the hour and a half we spent there, the majority of the tables remained unoccupied, leaving us cramped in a small booth. Despite this inconvenience, the attentive service and mouthwatering dishes still made our visit to Ancaster India Village a memorable one.

If you re looking for authentic flavourful Indian food, then this is the place for you. I ordered butter chicken, Veggie Kourma, plain white rice, and garlic naan. I will say though, as good as the food was, it was not cheap. Costed an arm and a leg lol. Just a heads up for those looking to dine-in. The food was genuinely good tho, so I guess it s worth it.

Worst customer service at the front.

October 21, 2024

We had reservations this evening for 5pm. We arrived at 4:45pm and were seated. Our server never came to take our order until 5:10pm. When she came and we ordered appetizers she said that it would take at least 1 hour for shrimp because they were busy. At this time there were 6 people sat in the restaurant! When we asked to speak to the manager she did not come. We had to go to the front to speak to the manager who was extremely rude and only concerned about the take out orders that she was taking over the phone. Service was extremely disappointing as we have ordered from here before, however we will never again. After we left we drove to the Prince of India in Burlington and would highly recommend this Indian, the drive was shorter than our wait at Indian Village.

Authentic food, tip-top service dining in or out. I am slowly working through the menu, but it is so hard when you have a favorite dish. Chicken is so tender. Medium spice is about as hot as I can go, and if its a tad too much, just ask for some yogurt Chicken pakora + onion bajis for starters. Jackie and Nick, thank you for the exceptional service and food.

After a day spent marveling at waterfalls, we stopped by an Indian restaurant intending to enjoy just a cup of tea. However, the aroma and ambiance quickly drew us into an early dinner that turned out to be a delightful culinary experience. We started with the Paneer Chaat, which was flavorful and perfectly spiced, and the Chicken Fulkari Kabab, which was tender and beautifully cooked. But it was the Chole Bhature that truly stole the show. The dish instantly transported me back to the bustling streets of Delhi, with its authentic taste and perfect balance of spices. To complement our meal, we ordered Masala Chai, which was refreshingly infused with saunf (fennel seeds). It provided the perfect ending to our meal, leaving us satisfied and invigorated. Service was bit slow because of the sudden crowd, but the servers did put their best effort to accomodate all. This unexpected dinner was a highlight of the day, offering a genuine taste of India that left a lasting impression. Vegetarian options: Way too many options for vegetarians. Dietary restrictions: They ask about allergies or diet restrictions while taking order and takes note.

Absolutely best Indian food I have had for some time. Being from the UK, all we have is Indian food, and this place was the best by far. Feed Back: There was an electrical fault flickering the lights. given the effort on the decore, I thought this was just normal ware and tare and probs out of their control. Service: To be frank, the service was not the best, and considering it was $50 + per head with 3 other customers in the whole resteraunt, there was no real other possible explanation. Objectively, the owner was very attentive and compensated and engaged us beyond the traditional Hows your food. This I really appreciated. I did not feel the server deserved a tip. Seating: the boths were nice and to be frank we where offered a larger table. the issue with the booths where they were not fixed to the floor, and so my 8 year old managed to move the whole booth while climbing out to the toilet. disrupting the table behind us. equally, there was a little foot room underneath, but I have size 12, so unless youre a giant, then you should be fine. Pickle tray: this was poor and considering the rest of the food it was a supprise. In the UK, it is customary as a paid appetizer with many different selections. here was just mango chutney and, frankly, the cheap kind equally the pompadoms are not the best. I am happy to pay for a good selection please concider adding this as a menu item and giving it the same excellence as the rest of your food

Washroom was also clean and smelled very good especially for a mens bathroom.

I would give a negative star if possible. I went there to have a birthday dinner with my friends and ruined our mood completely. The staffs were rude and the food was pathetic. I feel sorry for all the white people who believe that s how Indian food tastes. Also, the girl at the cash register needs an attitude adjustment. I ve never written a review in my 27 years of life but I really want to give a heads up for everyone about this restaurant, IT S BETTER TO DIE IN HUNGER THAN HAVE FOOD FROM THIS RESTAURANT .

What a heck of a find, and in Ancaster of all places (no offence Ancasterians if that s what you re called, Google couldn t provide me the answer)! Made fresh, authentic and affordable for a wonderful dine in experience with great hospitality and interior design. Lamb rogan josh was FILLED to the brim and was tenderly flavourful in all ways with the accompanying rice and veggies combo! Delicious onion naan to scoop up the remaining butter, and a memorable ras malai dessert that was refreshing and light.

Sharing our dining experience.Came here based on the five star reviews. We were greeted nicely and seated but had to wait another 15 mins for some one to come and take the order, that also after we stopped them and asked to get the order. We were told, we will get our Chai(Teas) first. Waited for another 20 mins and still not even one item from our order was served. After 5 more mins our food came and the Tea was the last thing to arrive and it was an okay okay Tea. Rest of the food was good. We liked the garlic Naan, Shahi paneer and Madras chicken curry. Kashmiri pulav was not that great. Owner came towards the end and apologized for the delays, atleast glad most of the food was okay after the 35-40 mins of wait. Would suggest to inform the customers prior atleast if you are expecting delays or if certain items are not available (We tried to order sizzlers and appetizers but none of them were available).

My fiancée and I tried this place before we even built our home in the area and it was our favourite Indian we ve had in a while. We finally moved in and wanted to celebrate by eating at our favourite restaurant in Ancaster. We showed up 15 minutes after they were supposed to be open and waited at the front door to be let in It was a snow storm outside and we thought we could quickly go inside. The young lady working that day looked both of us in the eye and had a literal staring contest for the better part of a minute. She then came to the door and told us that they were still preparing the restaurant. We asked if we could sit inside until ready and the answer was a no . We were appalled by the lack of customer service and haven t been back until tonight . (6 months later). We showed up tonight (Saturday April 19th) at 8:20pm (they are closing at 9). We walked in and saw 7-8 open tables and were told that they wouldn t sit us as we didn t have reservations. That s it, the last straw We won t be giving you our business. The complete lack of customer service is disgusting. This was the same girl that 6 months ago that told us to wait in the snow while she was preparing an empty restaurant 20 minutes after they were supposed to be open. The owner of this establishment needs to read the definition of customer service to their staff. Unreal.

I went to the Ancaster location with my family this evening. Ive been to this location previously and it was a good experience overall. The food is ok. The service can be lacking if youre South Asian. The restaurant is clean in the dining area. We had made reservations the day prior. We arrived tonight to a relatively empty restaurant. We were seated straight to the very back of the restaurant by the kitchen door. I noticed there were people seated in the front (all non Indian, mostly caucasian). I assumed we were seated so far in the back bcz it was booked full....but it was not. We were there for 2 hours & ordered several dishes. The only other people who were seated so far in the back were also south Asian. It rubbed me the wrong way as its a thing some south Asian restaurant owners do...to seat the caucasian patrons in the front or in window seats and they seat their own community in the back. They create a segregation and its a shame. Its my only complaint about this place...but its a big one for me. Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options at various heat levels.

INDIA VILLAGE has such a beautiful menu in-house prepared for any time of the day ... you must try it. We arrived to host guests to lunch and then my husband and I dined ourselves. The lunch tasting menu was amazing it was so hard to choose, but you can never go wrong with Butter Chicken and Mango Lassi. The heat intensities were specifically ordered as I like it spicy and him, not so much...and we were so pleased how spot on they were to our desired heat preferences. Lunch was delicious. I also ordered some Samosas to enjoy at home and they were big, yummy, and hit the 6 pm menu at home. Chef Nick and Jackie are delightful hosts who appreciate every customer and make everyone feel welcome. And I cannot forget to mention their wait staff team. The staff were incredibly service excellence focused and proud of their work interactions. If you havent been yet, you must check out India Village Ancaster ... and yes, they have a Dundas location as well! Cheers, Spicy Jan

Eating here once again, now making my way through their signature dishes: jalfrezi, coconut curry, and more. All of them wonderful and distinct. The chef prepares the sauces to order it appears, and despite having some common ingredients, each sauce is very distinct in spice and flavour. Looking forward to continuing my menu journey!

So tasty, so comforting, wonderful, delicious Indian food. The chef definitely takes pride in each plate he prepares. I had the chicken tikka masala which came with yellow basmati rice, a fresh green salad and a pea & potato salad. Every bite was scrumptious, the presentation of the food was artistic, the restaurant itself is like an art gallery of Indian paintings and decor. The staff were all polite, helpful, attentive and even the owner came to our table after our meal to say hello and make sure we enjoyed everything. Definitely give Indian Village a try when you re passing by Ancaster. We will be back.

Tried this place based on reviews but unfortunately the food had weird after taste. I tried appetisers (samosa, cauliflower pakora and aaloo tikki). Samosa was dripping oil, aaloo tikki had a really bad after taste as if it was stale and cauliflower pakora was somewhat okay. The interior of the restaurant is phenomenal though

We always go to this place for Indian food. We tried a few places but not as good as this place. Our favourite is chicken jalfrezi medium spicy level. Having said that it hasn t been as good lately. Jalfrezi still okay but butter chicken was runny need a bit thicker and the curry beef was also runny. The beef was tender but I think they should cook it with the sauce to soak the flavour instead of boiled it in a separate broth. We also orders pakora but a bit too dark maybe too long in the fryer. We had it last Friday for dinner. Next time we will stick with the Jalfrezi.

This place never disappoints! Outstanding Indian food. One of our long-time faves is their Chicken Jalfrezi (creamy with the perfect complexity of warming spices). We order this elsewhere when we travel, but nothing tastes this amazing! My healthy go-to dish is the Tikka Haryali (usually I order the lamb, but tonight I changed it up and went for the chicken). Both offer a generous amount of meat and super-fresh green sauce (mint, coriander, spinach) .omg, divine! The pièce de résistance is the onion naan! Obviously the best when ordered in the restaurant although we always order for take-out too! The service here is excellent Sophie served us with smiles and provided prompt service. The dishes here are all fantastic (we ve been eating here for years, and when are adult children are home, we always eat here or order in). Jackie, the owner, is so welcoming and always visits at our table she is the heart and soul of India Village! Vegetarian options: Several and all delicious. Esp love the Dahl Makini and Tarka. Dietary restrictions: Jackie always has the chef cater to my low-fat, lots of veggies and high protein diet. Kid-friendliness: Love to see families here. Kids are always well-behaved and happy. If your kids are new to Indian food, order the gateway dish: butter chicken with plain naan and of course a sweet dessert!
