140 Dunlop St E #101, Barrie, ON L4M 6H9, Canada
My first first visit and I am totally impressed. Though the venue is quite basic with minimal decor or ambiance, that wasn’t what we came for—we came for the delicious food and they absolutely delivered. The medium spice level was spot-on and the flavor profiles were outstanding. The food was served hot and fresh as it was prepared. No extra oil and masalas not burnt. Pricing was in line with what you’d expect at an Indian restaurant. My only suggestion would be to provide larger takeout containers for leftovers. Other than that, we were thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back. Being honest, yes they are recommended..
The customer service was unsatisfactory, with staff displaying rude behavior. There were also concerns regarding hygiene, as staff members did not wear hair nets or gloves, and were seen coughing without masks while preparing food in view of customers. This raises serious concerns about the cleanliness and safety of the establishment for food consumers. Also mentioned us not to use other spaces other than our table and it was reserved for someone but it took more than 60 min for us to receive food. Haven't seen anyone till we leave. Highly recommend not to go. I've also added a picture of nobody over there till we leave. Will update how was the food after having it.
I will not say super excellent in service but Yes, they are good with food and dishes they have kept in their list. Wonderful taste of Biryani and Kebabs. Service could have been more faster but I think they lack in manpower a bit. Apart from that everything was nice, the place looks attractive with wonderful decoration. My rating is on their super tasty food, genuinely portions and economic pricing.
Service is regular like any other place but their food has quality. Full of taste in curries, no extra oil in it, limited spice in the sauce or gravy and properly portioned. The cutlet and fries are really good here, very much mouth refreshing and added with chutneys. Overall, high quality food and all their major dishes served here are authentic. They are good to recommend and surely owe another visit !!
Amazing Food and Unforgettable Flavors! Taj Bistro is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with authentic flavors and perfectly balanced spices. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for an authentic and flavorful Indian dining experience, Taj Bistro is the place to be! Staff were wonderful. Highly recommended for food lovers!
I wish there was an option to give this restaurant a negative 5-star review. This used to be my favorite restaurant in town, but I was very disappointed with the service from the staff on Sunday, Oct 21. We asked to replace our dish as it was not what we were expecting for dinner. Shamelessly, they insisted that we have to pay for the dish we did not want. Very poor customer service - 0/10. Customer feedback is not valued at this place as the staff did not care about our request - 0/10. Customer retention is negative 8/10. There has always been a difference between private and franchise restaurants. Private businesses like Taj have no regard for customer feedback and lack customer service training. The cost of the food item was no more than $6, but you have lost all of our trust and future business. I will never return to this restaurant again.
This place has a good atmosphere, and great service but most importantly, their food is top tier better than any other indian restaurant in barrie. I ordered 1 butter chicken and 1 biryani which was exceptional at a reasonable rate, not only did they make it absolutely delicious but the service was quick and efficient too. The chef vahin is the best indian chef i met. keep up the great work
Delicious upscale restaurant for Indian food in Barrie. Everything was amazing but especially loved the lamb korma. The service was also very good and they have renovated and now have private areas you can reserve for events.
Tried butter chicken Thanks Ajay Food : 5/5
This is my new favorite restaurant! The service was friendly and fast, the food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. I was just there last night, and I was to go back already!
Dinner takeaways are always a comfortable deal in Taj Bistro so far. Fresh food, less extra oil in the sabjis and good in taste. They have never given a chance to complain on foods and really happy about it. Solid service and well priced - Recommended. Food
Enjoyed the desi food to great extend which were full of flavour and no dislikes from my end. The Pav Bhaji and Chaat were nicely prepared, great taste in both the dishes. Will surely look for another opportunity to come here again and try something new in this place. They have certainly impressed with everything they served. Honestly, referred and recommended....
Thoroughly enjoyed the Desi food, which was full of flavor and left no room for any dislikes. Both the Pav Bhaji and Chaat were expertly prepared, with a great taste in each dish. I will definitely be looking for another opportunity to visit and try something new. The restaurant has truly impressed me with everything they served. Honestly, I highly recommend it to others!
Nice food but still need to work on customer service and takes a lot of time for just one order and another waiting time to get the other order
Impressive food, food menus are fully traditional and Im sure they have expert chef in their restaurant. The taste added in Lamb Korma and in Butter Chicken with authentic masalas can be only done by expert. Enjoyed the food a lot and everyone in our family praised of the dishes. Butter Naan was good but felt little small in size and we expected little bigger. But thats fine as every restaurant has their own standards. Ill say recommended for the food they served. Taste was too good !
Save your money and spend it somewhere else. Worst food I have ever bought Food : 1/5
My takeaways of Chole Bhatures, Chaats and other snacks have never disappointed me in taste and flavour. Taj Bistro have excellent chefs and master in cooking authentic punjabi dishes. Their portions and fillings are their plus point and gives immense satisfaction on purchases. Locally they serve the best food likely someone can say home made food. I always prefer them for dinner takeaways and wont mind to recommend them to others.
Excellent service in every visit, very very professional working staffs and have not made me made after placing the order. I never found unnecessary delay even during in peak hours. This evening it was crowded and I ordered my dinner. The chicken jalfrezi was looking awesome and was very tasty, the parathas were also delicious. Another happy and delighted dinner in Taj Bistro. Recommended for quality food, excellent service, active staffs and fair rate on food menus.
I really enjoyed the food !! While the chicken was slightly dry, the tikka masala was flavorful and delicious, pairing perfectly with the garlic naan. The atmosphere felt a bit random but coordinated and the service was okayish, likely due to how busy it was. Recommended for tasty food served today. Next time, I ll opt for takeout than dining.
Poor customer service. Rude behaviour from the staffs. No hair net, gloves and coughing with no mask while making food in front of customers. Not a hygiene place for food buyers.
I wish there was an option to give this restaurant a negative 5-star review. This used to be my favorite restaurant in town, but I was very disappointed with the service from the staff today. Very rude behavior. The Indian Punjabi girl on the front desk was rude and racist to us. Made us wait more than 1 hr for a chicken Shake, naan and a chaat. High recommend not to go
Beautifully set and decorated restaurant though not very big in space. The menu list has all types of Asian foods like different types of naan, rotis, rice and desserts. For me it was a satisfactory visit as the food had that homely touch of taste and spice. I wouls suggest them to add more south-indian dishes in their food list. After todays experience, I would suggest them and recommend too.
Choices of different Curries, Rice & Naan are well set, many options to order according to the mood and food preference. Cooking is absolute authentic, likely the food you get in Delhi and in Punjab. Ive enjoyed the veg and non-veg both types of curries here and so far its very satisfactory. Will recommend them not only for delicious food but also for their care taking service and justified pricing. They deserve this recommendation.
The quality of food is classic with genuine portions and size they have extensive menu full of authentic taste. Dont miss their snacks - Samosa, Chaats and different naans. Pure desi food coated with spice, herbs, butter and ghee. I have visited here uncounted times and I can say they are one of the best, dont compromise in food quality and taste at all. It will be sure unjustice if we dont recommend them forward to other foodies.. Carry on Taj Bistro!!!
Mostly whenever I order the food online using UberEats, it has always taken 25 to 35 minutes to get the delivery. Food is always sent tight packed, warm and fresh. I am very found of their curries and different snacks, they are really good in these food items. Excellent service. They are one of the few restaurant who delivers quality stuffs in a resonable price with hassle free delivery.......
The taste of the food is upscale, authentic dishes touched by fusion touch. Our table was booked over the phone as our family is a regular visitors during the years now. Everything was well set on our arrival. As usual the food was the main point of attraction, butter chicken was soft with thick gravy/sauce, jeera rice, naan, alu gobi were served in well portions. Once again they have proved themselves and full recommendation from our family. Kudos !!
Whenever I order the food online, it takes 1½hr to get delivered. Worst service. It keeps showing preparing food for 45 minutes and then takes too long to get delivered.
Unplanned visit to this place and got surprised with the quality and flavour of food. Staff was so respectful and well presented also impressed with amazing service. Visited m cousins house in Downtown which is few blocks from this restaurant and he planned for a lunch, we both visited the place and had tight lunch. Such coolest and hassle free fooding journey should be shared, they are good in their work.
Good service. Punjabi sabji and naan both are delicious. As well as manchurian and mango mastani is so delicious. Ajay bhai employee is a very nice person.
No value for time You will wait 2 hrs just to have starter Worst service worst experience
The food at this restaurant is excellent, full of flavour and aromas. I have eaten there many times and the service is pleasant (if not a tad slow) and the ambience is comfortable. However, I leave with the same complaint each time - the portions are very small, regardless of what you order....you should never leave a restaurant feeling hungry or unsatiated otherwise whats the point?? That drops my rating to 4-stars but I think its an important issue for a restaurant to be aware of. I see they are expanding and perhaps offering a buffet in the near future so hopefully the portion issue will be resolved! We shall see...
What a wonderful experience! My husband and I stopped to pick up food on our way to Blue Mountain after we had heard about this place from some of my coworkers. We were greeted with the friendliest staff who helped me decide what to order. The owner came out and greeted me and gave me a tour of their newly renovated space. The place is gorgeous, and looks lovely for events. I ordered the Lahsooni Palak with Paneer and the Paneer Tikka Massala. These were both wonderful but holy, the Lahsooni Palak with paneer was absolutely amazing (we actually stopped on the way home from blue mountain to get it again, but sadly they were closed!); I am still thinking about this dish. The warmth of the owner and staff, the great ambiance, and of course, the delicious food made this a 5 star experience. Cant wait to eat here again, and I wish them all the success in their business.
Mouth-watering dishes and awesome taste in Chole Bhature and in Chats. The Chat was presented very colourful and it was added with sweet & spicy chutneys. Experimenting Taj Bistro gave us immense food satisfaction and food was simply great. The size of the Bhaturas were big and Chole was cooked with aroma of actual spices. The place completely worth money that we spend this afternoon. Such wonderful experience should be shared to all. Will visit soon again.
This was our first time. The venue itself is basic, little decor or ambiance. But Im not there for decor, Im there for delicious food... And they did not disappoint!! The medium spice level is true medium. The flavour profiles are excellent. Food was brought out hot as it was ready. Staff was friendly and not invasive. Price was typical for Indian restaurants. The only ask I have- bigger take out containers for the leftovers. Absolutely will be back again!
Overall I can say, this place is a bit more affordable than other restaurants. I ordered a takeaway of Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer and Plain Naan and it didn t disappoint. The Butter Chicken was creamy with a rich, thick gravy. Considering the price, I d say it was a great deal. Fortunately, the wait time for my order was short, which was a bonus. I m happy to share my positive experience with both the food and service. Yes, recommended !!
Satisfactory dining experience with Taj Bistro and they are best in their diversified foods. Long story to cut short, options are many and working people are co-operative to suggest the best in their place. Palak Paneer, Dal Makhni, Tandoori Roti and Butter Chicken was cooked such well that the taste of it will revind someones mind even after a week. Great satisfaction !! The place is managed well, its clean and all hygiene matters are taken seriously by the staffs out here. Overall, I can say that they are good in their food, service, price and other assistance.
The food is amazing best in Ontario we travel from Cambridge just to have the dinner . Chef Ajay is a great cook.
Venue is outstanding and its combined by delicious food. Spent Diwali evening here with family and it was full of fun and enjoyment. The atompshere was great for such festive season and well supported by their working staffs. Excellent cooking of Pulao, Naan, Paneer, Chicken Curry and other starters. Well adjusted Veg and Non-Veg section of mains and starters. Genuinely they are the best and will be coming here again.
The food, service, and staff at this place are outstanding, with a remarkable commitment to assisting guests even during rush hours. The Lamb Biryani, Butter Chicken and Butter Naan were perfectly cooked, generous in portion and featured tender, melt-in-your-mouth pieces of chicken and lamb. The presentation was impeccable, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Both the food and service are true highlights here. Highly recommended !!
The food ordered was cooked with aromatic spices and displayed vibrant colours in the curries. Alu Gobi and Paneer was cooked in excellent way, no way to complain on anything. The Naan and Pulao were equally good and presented beautifully adding nice layer of butter in the Naans. I will surely come back in Taj Bistro again as they have really set high expectation for another dining.
I wish i could give 0 star. Customer service is very poor. We waited 1 hour for extra naan. I asked the staff three times and she kept saying it s very busy please be patience with us and after some time she forgot that we even ordered anything, Shamelessly she came to us and asked if we are finished !!! This restaurant used to be very good but now its -10/10. I saw people just leaving without even ordering anything because nobody is there to help with order!
The fooding journey so far with Taj Bistro has been smooth, Im a regular takeaways visitor for my dinner. Their rice, dal makhani, palak paneer are the standout dishes. They have never compromised in taste and food is cooked with no extra oil in it. Thats what has always attracted me, mainly like home made food. One other plus point of them is that they have always taken last minutes order even before closing and have not denied. Most preferred place for me, trusted and recommended.
Everything is good about this placed - service, food, ambience and location. Its been a while that Ive visited Taj Bistro now and everytime that have fulfilled the dining requirement completely. The place is well managed and kept every necessity on place for the guests. Be it the table manners, cleanness and other hygiene matters. A total Indian food hub with all qualities, no hassles and authentic fooding joint.
I have always had a great experience dining in here. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is prompt and the food is delicious.
The service and atmosphere were great and lovely, they are the proper destination for dinner in any weekend. The food was not extremely spicy and well balanced with the quantity, presentation was attractive too. We ordered the paneer with medium spice and the Veg Biryani with mild spice, yet both dishes were not as hot as it was displaying. Flavourful food and great texture. Pricing is also fair on the quantity they serve, I will not say as expensive but yes measured & balanced. Will surely give another visit in Taj Bistro, they do deserve it.
Superb cooking of food and prepared in lovely traditional style with lots of spices, taste of masalas and touch of butter in the curries and naan. They have the quality of food items served on table garnishing with herbs toppings. Very well assisted by the servers throughout the dining, they also took verbal feedback about the food. Prominent place and good location for hassle free dining. Recommended !!
I am never a negative reviewer person but this was something. Poor service and waiting time is very long. If you want to eat dinner, order it at lunch time then it might get ready when you there. 1 Chinese bhel order took them 1:15 mins to get prepared. They don t even act that they sorry after this long wait.
Taj Bistro is altogather is a place for classy food with authenticity, spicness and place of many varieties. The Chole Bhature and different types of Naan are top in my chart, even the paranthas are also very satisfying. Adequate amount of Ghee and Butter in the rotis feels like heaven with rich curries and attentive service. I have been coming here for more than 3 years now and have seen a lot of improvement in every visits in their food and service. Their plus point is they have kept the price reasonable and always provide great service, very disciplined servers and working staffs. They are good in everything so I dont mind to recommend them at all.
Why is 5 star the last option given.. Why not 100 stars.. Cant explain in words the experience was more than i can explain , they are certainly the best in the local streets. While giving the orders they have never declined any request of customization. The place is comfortable in everyway and actual destination fvor family dining, such nice decoration and well sered serices, always match the fleming food. So far well impressded with services, food and dining experience.... Perfectly great experience with the food joint.. Would love to visit more often and would never decline giving recommendations..!!
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE !! Today around 9:10, we came to your restaurant ordered 2 sabjis, naan, mango lassi and chicken biryani. The mango lassi felt like we were drinking just water. So we asked a girl who was working there and we genuinely asked her very politely that this lassi doesn t feel like lassi and the she was so rude to us. She made faces while answering and did not answer us nicely. After few minutes she came asking if we want any substitute for that but that too in an arrogant manner. We asked for salt and pepper and she was just talking to the cook but did not give us salt and pepper and we had to wait for that. It is understandable if the restaurant was busy but when we were having our dinner. There was no one else in the restaurant and there was enough staff to serve us. But we were not served nicely by them. The girl was behaving as if we were just eating it for free and she was gonna pay for that. I mean seriously? She needs to work on her customer service skills. We do visit Taj Bistro often but today was the worst customer service that we got from the girl. That was disgusting and soooooo rude.
Festival of flavours- truly it was a festival of flavours in my mouth. The order of Honey Mustard Tikka which was suggested by my server was Marvellous - The chicken was succlent tender as usual but that combination of Sweetness of the honey with that kick of mustard was something extraordinarily beautiful & flavourful - a flavour which is now stuck in my heart. Apart from that I had Bhindi Masala with plain naan, both were delicious but I just cannot get enough of the Honey Mustard Tikka. Thank you for the suggestion. You guys truly out do yourself each & everytime.
I recently placed an order on Uber, but unfortunately, the Dasher picked it up and canceled it. However, thanks to the exceptional service from Taj Bistro, specifically a gentleman named Ajay, my experience was turned around. Ajay went above and beyond to ensure I faced no further inconvenience after waiting for my food for quite some time. A heartfelt thank you to him and the entire Taj team for their outstanding service. Not only is your food consistently delicious, but your customer service is also truly commendable. Once again, thank you for making my day!
Taj Bistro in Barrie is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable Indian dining experience. Ordered for some delectable lamb biryani with butter chicken and garlic naan, and in order to flush down all the rich taste gotva glass of shikanji too.. In short, Whether for a special occasion or a casual outing, it offers an exceptional blend of flavors, quick service, and a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning!
First time and last time ordering here. Ordered takeout, and and received the tiniest portions especially when you compare what you received to the photos online. Our Chicken Tikka Masala was well over $30 when you add the actual chicken to it, not the $16.99 price you see online. And $6 for a single garlic naan. Again the photo online showed multiple, its super misleading. Only good thing, the Onion Bhaji tasted good. Thank goodness we ordered 2x, because again the amount in the picture and what you actually get are widely different. Talk about shrinkflation, never have I paid so much for so little food.
Worst place ever !! The water taste so bad, and smells bad. The food was cold, the appetizers were served after main course. Poor customer service, no box of tissues on the table, had to repeat so many times what we needed. NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED !!!!
the place is nice and well lit but the food and ambience is really not commendable. the water tasted really pungent and the food was served cold. and not worth what youre paying! poor customer service.
Some of the best take away order that I have ever eaten or ever placed. I was a little skeptical at first whether they would deliver food quick as i was missing up a few items for my home party , but THEY DID. My order of Mutton Seekh Kebab & Murgh Dum Biryani was delivered on time without delays. The food was just YUMMY, packed nicely & hygenically. They sure do justice to the food, I would be recommending this Bistro if you are looking for some late night truly delicious Indian foods.
Outstanding ambience, great service and lovely homly made food. The vegetarian dishes are best here, tasted best of Alu Gobi, Panner Tikka Masala and Tandoori Naan. Very suitable pricing and doesnt hurt the pocket for dinner of 2 people. Will visit here again.
Ajay, jenisha and namara gave me the best service and made the most amazing butter chicken and rice for me :)
Best NAAN and Roti as always. Paneer tikka and chicken biriyani are awesome. I loved this place
Amazing food and service
Today october 7,2024 2:30pm i went with my friend to have lunch, i cant say food wasnt good as food was amazing, but when it came to service and communication i hope i could rate with 0 stars as thing happened 2 Indian couple was about to be sitted on 4 people table staff refused that its the table for 4 and you are only 2 but in 30-40 min some Canadian couple came and took place on same table and the staff was more friendly to them and didnt asked them to get up as they did it with last 2 persons. And when it came to server she was talking very happily with Canadian couple but me and my friend were not happy as we were treated as stray dogs and behaviour was also not pleasing as it was to other couple. This was first time i came to this restaurant and i saw this kind of racism here. Owner need to take quick action on that as we live in judgement free and nice country and if we are paying for service we should we served good no matter whos that person.
Amazing food, amazing service.
I recently dined at Taj bistro barrie and was thoroughly impressed by the service. From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly and ensured we felt welcome. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, anticipating our needs and offering excellent recommendations. The pace of service was perfect; our drinks arrived promptly, and the food was served at just the right temperature. It was clear that the staff was well-trained and worked seamlessly as a team. Additionally, the manager made rounds to check on our lunch, which added a personal touch that made our experience even better. Overall, the service at restaurant was truly elevated our meal, making it a memorable experience. I can t wait to return! Highly recommended Taj bistro.
Exceptional ambience, top notch staff who knows what to recommend and how to give amazing service. Owner is also down to earth who take care of their customers. Will be back again and again no doubt.
I recently dined at taj bistro and was thoroughly impressed. The ambience was warm and inviting, featuring beautiful decor that truly reflects the rich culture of India. The service was exceptional; the staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, Taj bistro offers a fantastic dining experience with a perfect blend of ambience, service, and food quality. I cant wait to return
Truly represent the culture of Indian food and versatile menus, they are one of the best in this location. Perfect adjustment of spice level when you have kids with you in dining and not hesitated at all when any taste moulding is done in any particular food item. Lovely place & lovely ambience - They are highlighted for family dinner & close ones get togather.
Today evening in my visit, I ordered Lamb Biryani & Achari Murg Tikka. Portions were really good and it was suffice for me and my partner both. Both the dishes were cooked in the perfect way as it should be, the fragnance of Biryani was fullt traditional and made it mild spicy as we prefer. Good job done by the Chef and I must admit that he or she has experienced hands in cooking. Recommending Taj Bistro.
Thanks, Megha for serving us a delicious mouth-watering Meal .super quality food and service Highly recommended visit again
It was an absolute party at this restaurant! We all loved the incredible taste, flavor, and authenticity of this exceptional Indian cuisine. We had pre-arranged a lunch for 8 to 10 of our work colleagues, and the setup was outstanding. From the starters to the main course, everything was spot on. Huge thanks to the owner for the excellent organization and the supportive staff. The mains included Pulao, Biryani, Veg Curry, Chicken Masala, Goat Curry, a variety of Naans, and more. Each dish was full of authentic flavor. We re thrilled to share our experience and confidently give them a 100% rating. Can t wait to visit again highly recommended !!!!
Good Indian food Could have been less oily Otherwise great service
worst service ever got if anyone plans to come just make sure you have all day to spend here.
Absolutely worst service ever experienced, made us wait for food more than 45 to 50 minutes, and when we re served, got meat instead of vegetarian food.
We just drive from guelph to barrie for dinner around 10 Oclock and their staff said we dont have any table available and then i request the receptionist that we came so far away for dinner. Their staff ask us to wait for 45 min to take the orders. Food is secondary but Not an ideal for response at the front door.
It used to be a great place. NOT ANYMORE
Jenisha helped us with our food serving, she was really kind and gave us really good service
I must say that this place is a comfortable dining venue. Good food, disciplined staffs and cozy ambience while dining. They have managed the place well and staffs keep an eye if we require something else while dining. Ive been here few times now and have received amazing customer service from the working staffs. If I talk about the food then, cooking of every dish tasted so far is just amazing and no point to complain about anything. Recommended - Delicious Curries, Fries and Desserts.
Fantastic experience at Taj Bistro! The food was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully plated. Every dish felt like a perfect blend of spices, and the menu had great variety. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. A must-visit for lovers of Indian cuisine!
Their food is always their plus point - never compromised in quality, taste and richness of actual Indian dishes. Very good cooking and no extra oil, even for senior citizens they take extra care of butter and oil when the order is placed. I have always enjoyed this place with my family and never selected any other place when it comes to family dining. Best local go to go restaurant & fully recommended.
What has always impressed in Taj Bistro is their cooking. Mainly I am talking about their Chicken Biryani, thats my favourite here. Rice quality is basmati, full of fragnance, amount of chicken peices is sufficient and overall mixed with flavourful spices and other herbs & masalas. So far never displeased with the quality of it. This place is my takeaway hub and I dont miss any opportunity of grabbing my favourite dish from here.
It was a pleasure dining in Taj Bistro, very organised, options are good for menu selection and comfortable dining. Visited here with family to celebrate my neice BDay this evening. Everything was top notch here and arranged everything very nicely. The food was of top quality and balanced the hot spiciness and mild spicy in the curries very well. Everyone attended the dinner with us praised the food and service very much. Next time surely coming again for any other family event. Keep going Taj Bistro !!
If someone wants to try traditional food, then this is the place !! Number of main courses in the menu is truly amazing, options are menu to select and combine with Naan or Rice. Same goes with the curries also, they have almost everything in the menu card which can related to authentic Indian food. Butter Chicken, Roganjosh are the 2 items tasted very authentic with thickness and cream and was perfect with Butter Roti. Surely will be coming again and will not mind to recommend Taj Bistro at all.
Served amazing food, service was top notch and great exibition of traditional food. Not only the mains but their starters were equally good, everything we ordered was full of flavour. Whenever I plan a dinner with friends, I always opt Taj Bistro as they have kept their standards always high with food quality and impeccable service. Will recommend them and visit again for sure.
Tastes like reheated frozen food. Chapatis are full of plain flour, no use of wheat flour. Food is tasty but food quality is real bad.
Always admired and enjoyed the traditional food served here, most importantly the portions served for each dishes we ordered can be shared with one extra person. The Naans were soft & fluffy, curries were rich in flavours and had attractive colour when brought on the table. Big thanks to their master Chef for making our evening little special by crafting quality food, Im sure he is experienced enough cooking such authentic dishes. The place is clean, properly decorated with lights and clean tables and other cutlery. It will be unfair if I dont give the appreciation. You people are recommended !
@Jenisha best customer service. Nice place Service was great Best food on barrie
Dining at Taj Bistro is always a satisfying experience, with everything from the food to the ambiance being top-notch. As one of the oldest establishments in the area, theyve truly earned their stellar reputation. The customer service is exceptional, with well-trained staff who take the time to ask about your taste and preferences. Their traditional Punjabi dishes are the standout features of their lunch and dinner menus, making it a must-visit spot for family and friends. This place truly excels in both food and service. I highly recommend Royal Punjabi Tandoori!
Happy to contact them for the Catering service this week, their staffs are good and very active and understood the Dos and Donts for the event well. The food arrived on time and throughout the event they were in touch with us. The 3 starters and all the mains were cooked such well that our guests appreciated the food very much. I would say that their perfect co-ordination and excellent service made our family event successful and they handled 45-50 people in professional way. Will not hesitate to contact them in future for any other event in the family and I will also recommend them with my current experience. Keep going Taj Bistro.
This Indian restaurant in Barrie perfectly radiates the blends traditional flavors with a modern twist. The chicken and lamb dishes, in particular, set a high standard for both taste and portion size. Our group of six ordered lamb curries, goat dishes, butter naan and the portions were so generous they could have easily fed another person. A perfect destination for weekend dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience and will definitely be coming back!
food was great best place to eat indian food the chef Ajay is incredible bravooo
Disappointed with the behaviour of the girl on cash desk with the co worker of the restaurant! She is super rude with the staff and disrespects them infront of guests. Girl you need to grow up, don t take anyone for granted and it s easy to blame others. The Girl was taking our order and got a phone call left us in between saying excuse me I got a call, on top of that claims his coworker if he cannot see the food and serve the food while he was already cleaning the table. Moreover, when served our order was incomplete and we asked to complete it and she left us in between after requesting the other guy he completed our order. Anyways, was finally done with dinner and now need to ask for containers ,bill and guess what she is just pretending to be busy, taking orders and packing take out orders but can t help out dine in tables which would barely take 5 min or even less, got that after 20 mins. Girl you need to work as a team and not try to show your teammates that they are inferior.I can t help myself seeing someone treated bad so had to talk to Manager.Eventually blames the guy for everything. Who was genuinely, being his first day of job was more into his duties. His hospitality was remarkable asked twice or thrice in between for everything needful ! Man heads off to you Everyone needs to be respected and treated equally!
Best onion badji, and best Indian tea ever!
Being a regular clientele at the restaurant & not being able to visit the place is always a heart breaking experience for me. This time around I had ordered for a take away. THEY DID NOT FAIL TO AMAZE ME YET AGAIN. The food were hygenically packed, sealed so that the food remained hot even after travelling to my home. My meal of Karahi Paneer paired with Onion & Cheese Kulcha were delicious - hot, cheesy & spicy - just like it should be. I am sorry I couldnt visit this time but I hope this recommendation helps you out. Thank you for the wonderfully delicious meal at the comfort of my home.
This place is one of the best spots for Indian street and other traditional food. Their menu offers a great variety, and the service is quick. I visited with a few friends after a trip to market, feeling hungry and looking for a quick bite. We ordered Palak Paneer, Butter Kulcha, and Gobi Manchurian. The food quality was excellent, suitable for all age groups. Despite being busy with multiple orders, the staff was efficient and hardworking. Overall, a great experience! I ll definitely be back to try more dishes next time. Highly recommended.
Impressed with the takeaway service, handled the order well for snacks and Indo-Chinese dishes. The quantity packed in the food container was more than suffice and total bill was reasonable. Certainly the restaurant has active working staffs and with dining customers they equally gave importance to the takeaways order. Whether youre a long-time lover of Indian cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore bold flavors, this restaurant is bound to make a lasting impression. Totally recommended !
A hidden gem serving authentic Indian cuisine . The dishes are incredibly delicious and full of flavor, every visit here is a happy dining with my family. We tried the Paneer Mirch Masala, Lamb Biryani, Achari Murg Tikka and Ras Malai today and each one was outstanding. Not only the food the service was immpecable too. What Ive always like about Taj Bistro is the pricing they have set for the dishes, in exchange of food portions the pricing is very affordable and no one can complain about it. 100% score earned by them from my family & very happy to recommend them.
Ordered takeout. Food price too high in comparison to what quality is provided. Was recommended by a colleague. Really disappointed. Chicken Malai Tikka was pink in the middle and not cooked. Gross. Paneer lababdar had 2 cubes of paneer. And lots of cheese. Never seen cheese in Indian gravy dishes. Naan was really tough. Not sure if one off....or just regular quality, but I wont be recommending or ordering again.
The Butter Chicken, Tandoori Butter Naan and Lamb Madras were absolutely amazing perfectly cooked by the chef, with the chicken and lamb so tender they practically melted in your mouth. The location is also great, with convenient parking that s much easier to deal with compared to other places. In addition to the delicious food, the service was excellent. There was minimal wait time, and the servers made us feel very comfortable throughout our meal. Honestly, I d say it s a top-notch food destination with great quality and reasonable prices.
Test is amazing
I write in my order for curry with chicken biryani. But thare are no curry with chicken biryani.
One of the old established restaurant and serves quality food. Their curries especially are packed with flavours and excellent touch of authenticity with richness. I have mostly tried their takeaway for dinner and according to me they are one of the best local go to restaurant. Happily recommended.
Go out for dinner and try Taj Bistro !! They are specific about customers taste and choice and also gives equally importance of their preferences. Quality of food is exceptional and right usage of Indian spices in the curries. They dont mind to manage the spice level while ordering so thats a comfort. The location of the restaurant is perfect, no hassle in parking the car. A restaurant like this with delicious food and extraordinary reception with services is always admired. Wont mind to book a table again for our dinner.
Pricing is well set for listed items, quantity of food served is immense and they provided us good service. I will say perfect place for family dining, lot many varieties of Naans, Curries for both Veg & Non-Veg, Biryani etc etc. They have almost all types of food which are typical Indian and cooked with authenticity. Personally, they are my first choice whenever I plan dinner with friends and family. Surely recommended.
Atmosphere of Indian culture and traditional food has been always their plus point. I know them for years now, dined here uncounted times in several occassions, contacted them for catering services in few occassions and they have always met the expectation. Recently, I ordered bulk dinner for some guests in my house, everything that I ordered was best in taste, food arrival was on time and all my guests appreciated their quality. After so many years dealing with them, today I thought to appreciate them for such long service and outstanding food in public forum.
Food was cooked fresh, served it with beautiful presentation and well assisted by their servers. One of the best options locally to dine with friends and family. I will prefer them in any special occassions. Apart from quality food they also take care of small adjustments in spice level while ordering. Taj Bistro has impressed a lot with food and service. My personal preference & announce them the best here without any doubt.
Brilliant on food quality, service and measureable pricing. One of the renowned restaurant for celebrating family feast and other occassions with Indian dishes. For their true quality they are always top in my list. Immpecable service, tasty food and so is the atmosphere in the place. Their Biryani in particular has the sweet essence and good number of pieces in chicken in it, properly cooked and soft which melts in mouth. After dining here, there is a different level of satisfaction and thats one of the reason to come back here again and again. If you have not tried them then go for a shot, Taj Bistro is a champion serving the best.
Big list of impressive menu, all vital food items in it and so many items in the card increases the curosity. Random visit in the restaurant with gang of girls, while searching for Indian food we found this restaurant on google. Tried their starters and mains both and loved what we ordered. The Chicken Kebaabs were very soft and fab in taste. After the dinner I understood why they are so searchable in google, they have earned their reputation and they deserve it. It will be unjustice if we dont comment after such pleasureful dinner.
I called the store at 10 PM on Sunday night, and they welcomed us with happy faces to dine in at 10:03. The whole staff was very courteous, and the food was awesome. We tried a couple of dishes, which had fantastic presentation. The three different staff members who helped us were awesome and genuinely nice, not wearing fake smiles like at other places. They didnt rush us even though we were there after hours. During our one-hour stay, we were asked over ten times if we needed anything and if everything was going well. We enjoyed our night out, and the warm welcome made it worth the visit. Thank you, guys! Keep up the good work.
Definitely one of the better options for Indian food.
Love the new atmosphere and updated dining room! Food is delicious, service is great, and the atmosphere is fantastic!
Excellent in service with amazing hospitality during dining. The food is always good here and just loved their curries and naan. The desserts are also flexible in choice and ready to eat with taste. Taj Bistro had been always impressive with everything and wont mind to book a table again.
Its wonderful experience to dine over here , perfect ambience, quick service,good for all all occasions, Most important is they very courteous, catering services are also available,Cleanliness is seen every where. Food quality is is very maintained, Would recommend for all occasions
Wide range of options available in the restaurants menu. Tried their Noodles and Manchurian (Dry), sufficient amount of quantity served and immensely tasty. The restaurant has balanced their pricing quite reasonably for both dining & takeaways. I mostly have tried the Indian dishes here before but today I opted to go for Indo-Chinese dishes. Experience so far with Taj Bistro is very satisfactory and wont mind to recommend them. Recommended Dishes - Pav Bhaji, Chole Bhature and Manchurian.
The ambience is superb, I highly recommend this restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Must try paneer lababdar.
Amazing new Reno s - food is amazing as usual! Great service! Our server Jenisha was simply outstanding, fantastic service - will return!!
Nice staff and delicious food ambience is excellent as well
Rude behavior of manager. Never visit.
Worst management Ordered food and it took them 15 min to come back to us and told can you please repeat order there was glitch in system Then it took them 45 min to get our order and they are repeating our order twice with same curry. It took them 40 min to just get 2 rice. The only thing we got on time was water So if you are really thirsty please try this worst restaurant
It s the worst experience ever, the staff is supper slow and really don t know what they are doing the owner is just trying to get a good review however he is completely rude to everyone as well as completely disrespectful and interruptive coming back again and again. When it comes to solving issues they are really not good with it. The entire staff is confused on what to do Being a food service personal i am definitely not satisfied with their service would surely not recommend going here If you re really thirsty and not sure hungry this is the best place to be because the only thing that was repeatedly served faster was water
If you have a extra time to wait inside store then 100% recommend.
Amazing food.
Real taste of India in Berrie, At Taj bistro can be experienced at the family Indian restaurant, where authentic spices and flavors transport diners to the bustling streets of india . Whether you are a seasoned fan of Indian cuisine or a newcomer looking to explore new flavors, this restaurant is sure to leave a lasting impression...
This is the best local restaurant for snacks, delicious kulchas, and other fried treats. The service is attentive, and the staff is quick to assist with orders. Everything is cooked fresh, which is why the taste is unmatched. The only area for improvement is the seating, but otherwise, the food, service, and pricing are excellent. Some of their dishes are so exceptional that its hard to find anything comparable elsewhere. This place has been my go-to for a long time, and I highly recommend it to others.
We ordered dal makhani paneer tikka chilli chicken naan roti for takeout and ordered papri chat to eat at the restaurant the food except for rhr paneer tikka everything else was so bad we had to throw away everything . When asked the server for extra dahi n chatni he was upset n when we told him there is no aaloo or Chana and the chat is very dry he was so rude n replied we make it this way . The rest of food we took to eat later as we were travelling tastes so bad the dal was half cooked . The chilli chicken was like karahi chicken with so much gravy . Naan were half cooked . We wasted $80 n threw away and had to order our again feom somewhere else . Will never go again .
Very nice ambiance very good hospitality awesome food and Indian quality love to come again
They charged gratuity with no reason and it unreasonable charge because the service was not at all good .when you go there pay for food plus the taxes and gratuity which comes around 35 %. And roti was also not good.
had best chickens made by one of best cook, he did very great service Parking: parking Food : 5/5 |
Worst service.
Good service and atmosphere. But the food is VERY spicy.. We ordered paneer (medium spice) & Veg Biryani (Mild spice). The food was so spicy that we could not finish it. Food : 2/5
Wish I could give this place 0 stars. Biryani is terrible. Rice undercooked, spices not mixed and they gave NO chicken. What a joke.
I had an extraordinary dining experience at Taj Bistro , and it has quickly become my favorite spot for Indian cuisine! From the moment we entered, we were welcomed with warm smiles and a cozy, vibrant atmosphere that truly set the stage for a fantastic meal. The menu offers a wide array of authentic Indian dishes, each more enticing than the last. We started with the samosas and paneer tikka, both of which were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich and truly authentic, transporting us straight to India with each bite. For the main course, we indulged in the butter chicken and lamb vindaloo. The butter chicken was creamy and luscious, with a perfect balance of spices, while the lamb vindaloo had just the right amount of heat and tenderness. The garlic naan and basmati rice complemented the dishes beautifully, allowing us to savor every bit of the delicious sauces. The service was impeccable our server was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu, providing excellent recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. The attention to detail in both the food presentation and the overall service was impressive. To top off our meal, we tried the gulab jamun for dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending. Soft, warm, and soaked in a delightful syrup, it was simply divine. Overall, Taj Bistro offers an exceptional dining experience with its outstanding food, stellar service, and inviting ambiance.
Authentic, reasonably priced.
Best atmosphere
Ive been a regular for a year now, but recently, the Paneer Subji hasnt been tasting as good. Could it be a new chef? On the bright side, the Mango Mastani was delightful, and the staff was very polite. While the service remains excellent, the inconsistency in taste is disappointing.
Taj Bistros reopening for dine-in offers a cozy experience with limited seating. While portion sizes have simplified, prices seem slightly steep. Panner Lababdar was satisfactory, but previous favorites like Panner Tikka Masala excel. Skip the spring rolls, opt for their delectable samosas. Mango Mastani and Ras Malai delight, alongside excellent customer service. A recommended visit indeed. And onion and cheese kulcha is the best bread to try.
Best food in indian
Worst experience ever i had with any restaurant in my life, very rude staff , no cleaning, special person name ajay was so rude.
Extremely good food. Great location down by the water. Friendly service.
This place has a good taste I have ordered multiples times, but the problem is something wrong with the food may be its old or not properly stored , just yesterday had dine in there but after reaching home got allergy , that is mostly happens because of old food and today also facing issue with allergy felt that daal makhni was old and over fermented. They need to keep checking on this type of fermented food
Excellent food and service. Nice ambiance. Highly recommended.
I particularly enjoyed the Indian dish having best taste. Great experience.
The best indian cuisine i have ever tasted everything was superb
Beautiful experience and especially desserts and appetizers are fabulous
The signature dish paneer mirch masala as well as paneer lababdar was truly lucisious fully recommended from my side keep it up
Very nice
Too good
Best indian food to ease one s home sickness
Incredible dining experience. Food was amazing. Wonderful customer service.
Best experience ever for Indian cuisine

Good food
One of the best food ever
Best food and nice service
Fantastic experience, good customer service.
Worst experience ever, we ordered vegetable jalfreji and it was just frozen vegetables swimming in the oil. Staff didn t even know how to communicate and didn t even offer to replace it with something else.
Good Indian food
Good Indian food
Nice Indian food in barrie
Best food ever.. everytime we order from this place they never disappoint us. The taste and quality of food is always remain same. Great taste.
I ordered mango lassi and samosa chaat, both of them were absolutely amazing. I personally felt the dining area was a bit too dark. But other than that the service was really amazing, the cashier greeted me nicely, heard what I wanted to say and responded well. Overall I had a really good experience. Would definitely recommend
Best food in Barrie
This place is severely understaffed. Literally one person servicing all the tables, attending to pick up deliveries and attending phone calls. I really felt for her, she was being overworked. Kudos to her for still able to manage it and trying to attend to tables as soon as she could. I hope the owner considers hiring more staff on the floor. Food is delicious though.
Disappointing. Ordered the vegetable jalfrezi which was indicated to include paneer but it did not. Instead it was a mix of frozen veg combined with sauce and not even fully cooked. Also ordered the cheese butter veg masala. It was the same bland thing but with cheese on top. I called to share the issue and was told that the jalfrezi doesnt come with paneer despite the menu description and that the two dishes are the same. No offer to correct the issue. Wow. You need to make sure your menu descriptions are reflective of the actual item that a patron will recieve. Stay away and try somewhere like Tara Indian Cuisine.
Ordered delivery two different items. Both were the same sauce. Terrible bland frozen vegetable mixture with sauce. All spice and no actual flavour and Missing paneer as advertised. Dont waste your time or money here .
Good weeding for restaurant
The food in your hotel is very good, we like the Punjabi food and your service is very good Really a very good hotel
Best service in beeri
Food was delicious! Second time trying Taj Bistro and will be back for more.
Every one of yours is very tasty and nice, we enjoy a lot and your service is also very good
very bad food and staff
Good sarvise and good staf
Best food in barry
Its best if you takeout. Dine in is bit higher priced than takeout. But ambiance was nice. Parking: Parking available but far from location like 1km
I ordered there veg samosa which were not at all fresh. If someone is spending money please do not send them stale food. Definitely not worth it, waste of money.
Food was delicious, service was outstanding Just for the price you pay, the portions are not that big We had a lamb curry It was really good And you can tell them the spice level you want
The portion soze for medium veggie is too too too small. Disappointed
We ordered Kajoo curry medium size but to be honest the size was pretty small and cost $19. It was totally unsatisfying
The proportion of the Sabji was too much small, not gonna come again. Charged more than $15 for the veggie which even not enough for one person.
Staff is uneducated and food is garbage
Manager is a horrible person and so is the owner
Met with friends for lunch here. It must have changed hands as it needs a lot of work done in the place. Chairs had holes in and a fluorescent light flashed the whole time we were there. Food was good but we were very disappointed as we all wanted a glass of wine or a beer but they had no alcohol AT ALL despite being licensed and having a poster showing beers and wines available. Only one lunch special. Vegetarian. Chick peas.
The level of service from the server was truly outstanding! Throughout our dining experience, she skillfully communicated with us, ensuring that every detail of our meal was perfect. From her attentive approach to her dedication to ensuring we enjoyed delicious food, she truly went above and beyond. The dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary, with each dish offering an explosion of amazing and delectable flavors that tantalized our taste buds.
It is a small, cozy restaurant, serving good portions at reasonable prices.
i hate the wait but it wasn t server mistake .,only one girl was working and less number of staff and lot of customers why indian restaurants owner don t prefer to hire staff and try to exploit employee Food
I would really recommend you to hire more people to cook and service. We ve received the order after every 10 min and due to that we lost our hunger in between only. Also, hire someone who can be good in customer service, because your service/receptionist showed an attitude to come and ask for order.
Our experience here been excellent and Kiran took a really good care of us. Definitely gonna come here next time!!!
Went to this location for dinner with my friends. it was awesome, food , friendly staff, service, cleanliness Just looking like a wow Highly recommended
This is not about food, but the seating and service. We couldnt get to eat there because there was only 3 tables and was full. Then they advised to do take out. While we were checking the menu, they came back saying it might take 1.5 to 2 hours for the take out food to be made- which was ridiculous. I could buy grocery, cut the chicken and make food by that time at home. So I would suggest to improve the space and to be more careful with customers. 2 hours seemed ridiculous for a take out order. There was some more space, which they could rearrange and get us accommodated. Very disappointed, we really wanted to try the food as we live nearby.
Not as expected. Bit pricy as per service, accommodation and food.
Pathetic service. We are regular customer of this restaurant. We ordered food with instructions but didnt follow any of them and we asked lady that you should have followed our instructions. Instead of understanding situation she was being rude. Little girl is nice but the lady handling over there has zero sense of customer service. Very annoying staff. Unpleasant atmosphere.
The best Indian food in town!
Good food nice atmosphere
Everything is great. Except for high prices, but you have quality that matters the most.
Love, love their food. For about a year now, it s become a Wednesday tradition for us Wasn t initially planned for tradition but turns out their food is always so good, hot, fresh and delicious we traditionalized it. We don t have a bad thing to say about this place, we love it. Proportions are decent also, no issues. Food tastes very authentic! The young girl who always works on Wednesday night is so lovely, always pleasant and friendly, we enjoy seeing her. We order: Take out- we order large size in all items. Plain Naan bread Chicken tiika masala Okra dish Daal soup (yummy) Plain rice If you re not used to spicy start with mild, as medium can be quit hot. We have also tried- samosas, Herb rice, Lamb Madras masala, they are also all very good. So far so good no issues, hoping they always keep their proportions the same and food tasting so delicious. One slight downside is sometimes they don t always have the daal soup which we love, but not a big concern when they don t- we just miss having it.
No chai in winter!!
Everything is very tasty over there and super delicious, I love food over there and the service is too good here , thank you Taj bistro Vegetarian options: Eggplant bhatrta and roti is very tasty like super super delicious over there!!!!
Food was so delicious as well as fresh. Friendly staff and good service. I love the overall atmosphere and it was very nice experience visiting there. Thank you taj bistro for providing us Indian feel and for best service Vegetarian options: Recommen dishes : Hariyali paneer tikka, bombay bhel, kaju curry, baingan bharta, garlic naan, tandoori roti, onion and cheese kulcha and veg haydrabadi biryani. For drinks buttermilk and shikanji was amazing.
Best indian food in barrie. I ve been there so many times and service is fast and really friendly staff too.
Service not good. Run out with many items so customer who are coming to resturant will not have a choice to order food they want. Taste wise okay. But I would prefer some other place.
Food was not good Their quality have gone down Complained to the girl about food She ignored and we left empty stomach Dnt go there it s a waste of time
Visited the Barrie location after running 12Km. Hats off to the chef Varun for the delicious food and to Sumoni for the amazing hospitality.
I have order dahi bhalla, mango lassi and paneer tikka masala through uber eats. This is worst food i have ever eaten. Food is not good both quality and taste wise and not even fresh. Not recommended
Amazing food!! Its truly authentic Indian food. Exceptional service, especially from our server Simoni. She was so kind and had a cheerful presence about her. I 100% recommend coming here!!
Food was great. Portion were small, they say it can be shared between 2 person but if your really hungry, it only feeds one person
The Chicken Madras curry and Butter Chicken curry, along with the rice, were amazing! I would give 10 out of 5 stars for this. But... the Naan is rubbery, the Veggie Samosas were mediocre, and the reconstituted chicken kebabs were inedible, we threw them all out after one bite. Awful. Just buy the curries and rice, you wont be disappointed. Skip everything else.
The food here is excellent and theyre very nice people! If youre not getting rice and Naan for each person Id recommend ordering a large.
Disappointment served at its best. This cannot be Indian food at all. Chicken curry is pathetic. Wait times are horrendous. Eat at your own risk of not expecting taste. Chef needs to stop fooling people around.
Authentic Punjabi test. Parking: Restaurant do not have parking lot. Paid street parking on nearby street. Food : 5/5 |
Place is amazing, great food, good service, chairs could use and up grade some were all ripped up...other than that highly recommend for great Indian food I travel 30min just to get food from here.
Great food and service
Perfect taste for Indian cuisine and great serving and service.
Order lamb and chicken dish. Food was flavorful and naan was very fresh and soft. 5 star for food. Breads very bit expensive. Food : 5/5 |
Excellent place, excellent food tastes exactly like India. Service was very quick. We had panner lababdar and hydrabadi biryani it was awesome. The girl server gave good suggestions she had enough knowledge of the cuisine. Will definitely visit again. Thank you!! Vegetarian options: There were good vegetarian options it would be great if you can increse the choice of veg starters.
Thats what i get burn tandoori roti I ordered some time from taj bistro barrie its a risk . Some time its good but most of the time they disappointed. Its not even fresh Food
