Me & my friends were passing through this town on a road trip and we stopped here to get food. The guy is so sweet and the food is amazing for the price. The portion is so big and taste delicious. Didn't get any pics but will definitely try again when I'm in the area ! Check it out
This place was amazing. Their food was really good and well cooked. I ordered the chicken biryani, and it was really well made and tasted delicious. I highly recommend this place. It’s those hard to miss spots
My boyfriend and I stopped in to check out the menu and we ended up ordering the most amazing Indian dinners with sides. Sundeep’s customer service was so welcoming and warm. She explained some of the dishes to me that I wasn’t familiar with in such a nice way. The prices and serving sizes are great. We also had the samosas that they make in house, which are some of the best samosas we’ve had! Can’t wait to come back to try more dishes.
Absolutely delicious fusion style Indian food. Had a butter chicken plate with salad, rice, and veggies and it was delicious. Lots of options to customize your plate which I absolutely love! Very well presented food and great customer service! Will be back again soon!
I went to this restaurant with my elderly in-laws. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and the gentleman, whom I took to be the owner, asked us how much spiciness we would like. They didn’t know, so, free of charge, he gave us a small plate to test various items out so we could choose our spiciness and dishes. Surprisingly, then he came with a little sample plate of their salads as well. We were so impressed by his warmth and patience as we chose our meals. The food was delicious, fresh and ample in quantity. It was served on real dishes with real cutlery! Since it was a faster food place, this surprised me in a most favourable manner. We had a lovely chat again once his rush settled down, and he sent us home with samosas to try, on the house. While the outside looks like a fairly normal fast food place, Plates and Bowls was so much better than that!!!
I just ate here and just WOW such authentic flavour and everything we had was delicious. The cook and serving staff Vijay was friendly and let us sample the flavour of the curries so we could select the best for our taste buds. The karahi was spicy enough for us-very authentic. The mango lassi was soooo amazing. The beat salad and coleslaw were really fresh and tasty too. Definately will be back!
Went in for lunch with my mom on her recommendation and right away the staff asked if it was our first time. It was for me and they immediately offered samples and asked what level of spice I could handle. The samples were so good I wanted to lick the plate. I almost went with the butter chicken when the staff offered my mom a sample of whatever was on the grill. I got a sample of what turned out to be a new dish - Turkish Kebab, and immediately changed my mind and we ordered two bowls of it. Absolutely delicious, melt in your mouth juicy chicken, made not spicy for my mom and with added hot sauce for me. Also got to try the chicken biryani as it was the special for the day and it was also fantastic. Will definitely be going back!!
The first picture is a combination of 3 salads which was included with the combo - tandoori chicken paratha. The second plate is Achari chicken combo- which came with rice, salad and achari chicken and we also took shawarma wrap. This was our first time trying this place, food is good, economical and tasty. What makes it different and commendable is their service. It's quick and very very hospitable. I'm not sure if he was the owner or manager but he was extremely helpful, socialable and welcoming. 5 stars for his attitude.
I had their veggie Samosa, Butter Chicken, Achari Chicken, Nihari Chicken and Tandoori Chicken. All dishes had their own unique taste and very authentic. I will be frequenting this restaurant as their food was quite tasty. Also, very reasonably priced dishes. I Highly recommend them.

I went there for Dinner and loved the food first time there and loved it was perfectly made.
First time. Owner gave me samples and was extremely friendly. Went with tandoori chicken wrap and it was delicious. Highly recommmend this restaurant.
I didnt even ask and they offered me sample because it was my first time there. Food was absolutely delicious. As an indian I was reluctant to try anything at first. Got 2 meals (butter chicken and tandoori fish) amazing. Clean and very nice staff. Will return!
Very friendly, good size portions and overall a good value.
Great spice but getting the friday special chicken biriyani, I got boiled chicken over bismati rice served cold.
The food was outclass and the nihari for me was top notch as well as the appetizers.
Wonderful customer service and food was delicious! Love this halal spot and will definitely be going back!
Long story short: you can have one of the best Indian eats here! Thank you!! Food

THE FOOD AND PORTIONS WERE AWESOME. FRESH, FRIENDLY AND PLENTY! GREAT PRICES AND VERY NICE OWNERS ESP. TALHA~ AND KARAN. Vegetarian options: VEGAN Dietary restrictions: VEGAN
Big portions of tasty food. Its a bit expensive but pretty much everything is these days. That being said the amount of food is Def worth the $$. Dude at counter was super friendly and cool. Ill rock that food again for sure
Have been going there a few times already. Food is awesome and service is always great!
Extremely tasty Indian/Pakistan bowl. If you are not able to find spicy food, this is the place to visit. Amazing food and budget price.
Amazing food and amazing service every time. So friendly!
Excellent food and great price! Portion was very generous. People were so nice and friendly. Will definitely come back again!
The first thing I get when coming through the door is a generous sample plate of a bunch of their dishes, since I was new to the establishment. Everything on the sample plate was delicious, so it was hard to choose, but I opted for the tandoori chicken. This dish, and the two side salads I chose made for a perfect lunch at an affordable price. All this, plus the exceptional service by everyone behind the counter, and Im left with an experience I wont soon forget. Blown away! Theres nothing else quite like it in Aurora.
Great service friendly staff New here and the staff made The right choices for me Food : 5/5 |
I love this place! On our first visit, we were offered 4 curries to taste before we settled on our decision. The Achari chicken and the Nihari chicken were both fantastic. The coleslaw was delicious! Not a mayonnaise dressing maybe yoghurt? Also enjoyed the beet salad and chickpea salad. We dined in. On our way out, we purchased two samosas to try. They were also delicious. We returned to buy a dozen more samosas so the kids could take them for lunches. When the kids tried the samosas they asked to order the curry and naan deal for take-out dinner. Three visits to Plates and Bowls in one day! This is going to become a regular place for us. Awesome service, clean, but simple atmosphere, amazing food.
Clean, friendly, and amazing food! Visiting in Aurora and we randomly picked Plates and Bowls. Amazing staff. Greeted us, offered ample samples and suggestions. We all enjoyed our food
Stopped here on my home to Orangeville. Fantastic food. Good selection and excellent price. Ill definitely make the effort to visit again
This is one of the best places to eat and just simply walk into in general. You immediately feel welcomed and they have THE BEST staff. They have the absolute best food and impeccable service. I recommend this place to every single person out there. There s something for everyone between the amazing hot meals and delicious salads. Plates and Bowls Aurora has never disappointed me once since it opened and have treated me so well and they ll forever have my business, even if I have to travel to go to this location specifically.
Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and service. Affordable delicious food. Must try their Samosas
Great food! The kebabs were nice and juicy and they even gave samples.
Incredibly friendly staff, gave us little samples of a variety of items so we could see what we liked! Everything was delicious, we settled on tandoori chicken, mango lassi and a samosa, it was all excellent and the price was very reasonable - highly recommend!
Excellent food, fast service and good customer service 10/10.
Nice
They advertised for 50% off and once we placed the order they charged us full price. Food was great, just false advertisement.
The service is amazing, the person gave us a plate full of rice with different gravies to try and decide. He was really quick in making the order and very patient too. Food was really good . They have variety of different spice levels of food.
Really friendly staff. They don t skimp on serving portions. Fresh food and great prices. I hope this place keeps that formula because it is excellent. Food
Reasonably priced, clean place, excellent food and attentive staff. Checks all the boxes. Hope this place thrives in Aurora
Friendly staff, food was tasty, fresh. I love the butter chicken and salad! it s perfect
Friendly Staff. Food was tasty!!! Will repeat for sure!!
Delicious! Fresh! I tried to Shawarma special, then went back to get the Tandoori chicken dinner the next day. Both recommended!
Customer service was awesome Food is delicious too, we will definitely visit again..!
Amazing food and Amazing staff Most definitely recommend.
I love the butter chicken!!!
Randomly stopped at this location. Had really great service to go along with the tasty food. Definitely give it a try.
Food is always fresh, every single visit! The owner is fabulous, had a great chat with him the last time we visited. Staff have always been helpful and friendly. The service and how theyve structured their system of serving the food is quick, so its great for when you dont have much time. Highly recommend.
Nice loved it!!!
I discovered this restaurant after shopping at Walmart and I will definitely be back! The service was amazing! The owner let me myself and my husband try the food before ordering, and it was amazing. We got butter chicken, and even my toddler loved it. This restaurant will be one of our top spots now.
Great portion sizes, extremely friendly staff and delicious food! Found this place by accident and was very pleased with my dinner choice. Definitely recommend!
First time here, amazed by flavours, and after trying many restaurants in Aurora and Newmarket I can say that Plates & Bowes is the best, surely I ll visit again and highly recommended
First time here and it was AMAZING!! Slap you in face flavor bomb. The guy lady and guy working there were so friendly and explained every dish. Very fresh and healthy ingredients. I will definitely be ordering from here every week.
Great food and great sizing.
Very spice, but very good, very nice staff and service.
Easily the best customer service in Aurora. He noticed quickly that it was my first visit, and offered samplers so I could get exactly what I wanted. Great food and well priced!
i enjoyed their tandoori chicken and butter chicken..you dont get a lot of meat but the sauce was good.... the beef shawarma i was sold was full of fat and over cooked. Im very disappointed.... they should not sell a product of such low quality.
Love Love Love. Amazing all around Food
So delicious. Everyone so friendly! Visiting for a wedding .... came back 2x!
Excellent flavor, surprisingly well priced. Everything was fresh (went on lunch on a Wednesday) and will be going back! Loved it!
Great food, very attentive staff. The owner is very friendly and gave us lots of free samples to taste. Would highly recommend!
Good food with good customer service.
Food is amazing and the manager is very friendly. Relatively expensive food but worth it.
The BEST Indian food I have ever had. The restaurant was clean, and all the food was fresh. Not only was the food AMAZING, but the service was wonderful. The best service I have ever received from any restaurant. The owner is so friendly, I will 110% be back. My new favourite place!
Amazing service, outstanding food and the best part is that it s Halal.
When trying a new place, I normally stare at a menu indecisively before settling on something I hope to like. The manager was extremely welcoming and gave us a sampling of several dishes to help us decide. The food quality and quantity were both excellent! We will definitely eat here again the next time were in the area!
Unexpected and wonderful experience at Plates & Bowls. Owner helped us pick a terrific lunch, and proactively offered us several samples so we had a wonderful experience. Also, some of the best Indian cuisine I have had -- friendly and good food, will definitely come back!
I had shawarma here, I eat shawarma almost everyday..been to many other places but the quantity of meat is least over here,chicken tastes like rubber .They don t even have tahini or hummus sauce.Over all the worst shawarma i ever had
Awesome place close to where I live. Definitely will come back again. Food: Food was amazing, it was my first time and they offered me free samples of their food. Most restaurants dont even offer that and when you order youre kind of stuck with what you got, but not here. Service: Service was great, the guy who helped me answered all my questions about the food and helped me on what food would be good for me. I got the Achari chicken bowl which was a different kind of spice than Ive had before. Atmosphere: Atmosphere was great too. As soon as I walked in the store I smelled an amazing cocktail of spices from what they were cooking on the grill and being made in the pot. I dont know how much more authentic you can get from smelling those spices as soon as you walk in the store.
I must say I was skeptical of trying this place.. but was so pleasantly surprised. I had the tandoori chicken with a chickpea salad and ordered a side of their pasta salad. Chicken was so tender and the flavour was on point. Salads were delicious. Portions were more than great (I got 2 meals out of it.) especially for that price. I took off one star because ordering online you don t have the options as you would going in..(Apparently you get 2 sides with your meal and there are more options.) I also found the rice a bit overcooked and soggy for my liking. Overall, I can t wait to eat here again!
Great food and we were surprised so much because they let you taste everything even before you order anything. Pleasantly surprised
Instantly greeted with a smile and asked if it was my first time eating there. I was given a little tasting plate of the different styles of Indian food they offered. All were delicious and filled with flavor. Highly recommended for anyone in the area !
Everything was amazing ..fresh salads with the combination of rice and different choices of chicken curries. Best customer service as well
My family and I are visiting from New Jersey, and we were at a loss of where to eat dinner. We decided to come into Plates & Bowls and immediately felt welcome. The workers offered us a free sample as we did not know what to order. They took the time to get to know us, and we absolutely loved the food and mango smoothie. We are coming back tomorrow for the lunch special!
Good food with excellent customer service
Just bought butter paneer bowl, it s awesome and girl was nice enough to serve the customers.
Delicious curry chicken. Got the medium sized bowl and it was absolutely amazing. The service was great, I didnt know what to order so they offered me samples of the curry. Great service, great food, good portions for the price.
Had my child s 5th Birthday here!!! Amazing halal food and amazing customer service. Kid-friendliness: wow so nice
Small place and 5 stars for cleanliness and not necessarily for ambience. It is not fine dining. Dropped in on Canada Day and was pleasantly surprised. Ordered a few items and was offered samplers. On Canada Day Butter Chicken was on special for $5 only! I returned and ordered the Biryani special for 6 people. Great value for $35. Generous quantity with 12 pieces of chicken - enough for 10 people. The tray was expertly packed, kept warm for me, was ready on time and the service was impeccable. The young lady got it delivered to my car. She always has a smile and is very pleasant. We had a neighbourhood potluck and all enjoyed the biryani. A special thanks to Ps and Bs. I also tried their Chicken Nihari and I feel it is the best dish they have with Biryani a close second. Mind you the Nihari is spicy as it should be. The taste is authentic. I was there a third time and will continue to visit. One caution, do not judge them for their falafels. Not taste and not price/value. Want the best falafel in town? Go to Joes Hamburgers on Yonge and Elgin Mills. Falafels as they should be, large, fluffy, fresh and delicious. Ask for unassembled so that they dont get soggy in the pita wrap. You will be back to Joes again and again. Cant beat the value either. Dont say I did not tell you!
Food is amazing here and there service is superb and chicken nihari I tried first time here and it was so good.
Tasty food and great customer service
We had just purchased a new car and we were looking for a relaxing, pleasant and tasty restaurant. We had amazing food with lot of friendly service. It was a pleasure to be there.
Amazing staff, allowed for me to sample the food before buying and everything was delicious
Great customer service
Great Service & Tasty Food
THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD! The place is so comfy, the employees are super nice, and all the food is so flavorful! I highly recommend
Really delicious and fresh food with tons of healthy side/salad options such as beet salad, chopped slaw and pastas. The tandoori fish is excellent and worth the extra few minutes it takes to cook.
This place was great. Our son tried this for lunch and said we had to try it. WOW. We did not know what was what, so they gave us samples. It was hard to pick. Everything was so good. This is a must try. We have already been back.
Delicious food and very friendly. Helped find the right food for me:) Highly recommend!! Lots of options!!
I had a family get together here and might I say we had an absolute blast. My daughter loved their amazing wraps while my wife and her parents loved the butter chicken. I ll definitely be back!!!!
Pleasant front desk staff, very clean area, fresh and clean vegetables, tasty and high quality food with a good price. I am the king taster and bad food bothers me right away. I enjoyed my food , Tandoori Chicken wrap, yum yum. I highly recommend this place. I don t need to drive far away, 10 minutes to my house. I devoured my wrap so no time to take pic.
Their service is amazing if you don t know what to eat they help you out and give you samples. I was treated really well here and all my needs were accommodated, everything was made fresh and tasted amazing. Highly recommend!
The food is very good. There are options for vegan people. The service is exceptional, and they accommodated one of us who had sulphytes allergy. Vegetarian options: They have tasty vegan and vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate allergies
Delicious food and great staff. Gave some free samples so we could decide what to get. Everything is so tasty and fresh and the salads were great too.
Owner was super friendly and even gave us samples of their delicious food!
Food was amazing and the gentleman behind the counter was very kind. They let me try samples and i d definitely like to come back.
Picked up dinner for myself and my dad last night. My dad had the tandoori chicken and I chose the butter chicken. My dad absolutely loved the tandoori chicken with some of the garlic sauce on it. It was fresh, juicy and extremely tasty! The butter chicken bowl was great! All the ingredients were super fresh and very tasty! One of the staff members gave me a sample which was extremely helpful since everything smelled so good. The service was also amazing and the staff was extremely pleasant and kind. Will 100% be back to try more of their menu!
Amazing food with fantastic service!
Service was impeccable. Food is delicious!!!
I just tried the place for the first time. The gentleman who runs it is a welcoming man and he had no qualms about taking the time to explain his menu to me. The food was good and affordable.
Welcomed by some great staff who were willing to explain the menu and top choices on their menu. Reasonable prices for the portion size. I would highly recommend the tandoori chicken with garlic sauce and a green coriander sauce.
Wow, where to begin. Bottom of the bucket customer service / professionalism. Total incompetence regarding pickup service; nothing was ready. Forceful upselling. Brown meat. Food taste OK. I would avoid this location like the plague. I would choose any other location, and given my experience over the phone with this location, I might boycott pickup altogether. Go in person for a reasonable experience. Delivery service is the definition of atrocious. Put it this way, I should have been charged 20, but I was charged 40. So I payed the 40, so I could be guilt free in giving this review. Dismissed.
Ordered butter chicken and naan which was richly delicious and freshly made on site. Cannot wait for my next visit to try other items on the menu. Friendly and provided a delectable sample plate thank you for authentic flavours in Aurora
Ate hear for the first time. Great selection of Mediterranean/middle eastern food. There was such a selection that the owner gave me samples to try. I ended up getting tandoori chicken, a chickpea salad, and a mango lassi. Portions were quite big that I was able to eat it for two separate meals.
This is my absolute favourite place to eat!! I highly recommend the butter chicken! if you like something spicier, definitely try the nihari chicken (with naan to dip )
What a great find! The food was absolutely delicious (I had the tandoori chicken with beet salad and chick peas) and the service was spot on! I will 100% be back and I highly recommend. The portions are a good size as well.
Great food, reasonably-priced, and even better service! Found the place by chance during my lunch break. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They let me taste the food before ordering. Everything I tried was delicious. Going back tomorrow for the butter chicken. Highly recommend trying this place.
Got my dinner from this location last week. The restaurant was really clean, the food was really good, and the customer service was amazing. It was our first time there and they helped us choose our meal to our taste. Definitely recommend
Great food, good prices, good sized portions. worth stopping for a quick bite.
Food and service was amazing, owner was friendly.
The butter chicken was awesome! I loved every bite of it
Loved the butter chicken and karahi kabob. Had the perfect amount of spice! The staff was really nice and inviting, would definitely recommend :)
Amazing vegetarian food and the nicest people serving. Vegetarian options change every day, giving more variety and delicious options.
Amazing food, amazing vibes and amazing people working here! I went in thinking it was going to be a common shawarma place but they surprised me. As soon as we stepped in, they handed us a few samples of all the foods they just finished cooking and they were all delicious! It was hard to choose just one but I ordered the Tandoori chicken and not only was it super delicious but the portions were huge too! I m happy I decided to give plates and bowls a try and will definitely come back!
Amazing Food .. definitely worth a visit!
Absolutely delicious. Got the daily special biryani and beet salad. Everything was delicious. The girl working was awesome aswell! Definitely recommend.
Really good Indian food but not super expensive!
Good Customer Service, Friendly staff
The gentleman serving us was very friendly! We didnt get his name, but he made recommendations and gave us samples! Its the kind of service that is hard to come by in todays busy world! We brought our 1 year old, they have high chairs and a great space to sit even with a stroller/car seat. The food was delicious and a great amount for the price! The mango shake is a great taste with the authentic spices. Great experience with my family!
Owner/manager is very cheerful and friendly and offered a sample of the food. Ordered two bowls, butter and tandoori chicken. Both are very tasty and are quite filling, saved leftovers for dinner.
Amazing service by Hasaan and Kristina! Great food and so many options. Highly recommended!
The food was amazing! Friendly staff and even their drinks were phenomenal. I highly recommend going here!
