Best Buffet My dad and I wanted a quick bite on Saturday the 14th at 3:30. The buffet options are bad in Brantford but I remembered going here around six years ago so decided to try again. At that time it was a fairly new restaurant that was a converted fast food restaurant so the decor was dated but I remembered the food was good. Taals has had a renovation (I think before Covid) and it’s very nice inside. The decor is pretty but not overbearing. It is open concept but also has divided walls when applicable. The gentleman who greeted us was nice, well dressed and polite. Place setting was lovely with a cloth napkin, and the water is served in chilled glass corked bottles, which is super convenient. You can get four full glasses before needing another and it also reduces having to ask the wait staff for more. Washrooms were very clean! Important for any customer buying food, is to note the cleanliness of the washrooms. Solid A+ from me. The buffet itself is nicely laid out, with Veg dishes, meat dishes and sides, and then desserts with an ice cream freezer in the middle. The flow is nice because you can circle around and leave without having to go back the other way. Naan was empty at the buffet and it’s clear why: the basket of garlic naan brought to the table was warm, fluffy and delicious. Perfectly cooked. The food itself was scrumptious with every single bite. Flavourtown, the seasoning was not too hot but mild enough to have a kick. And above all it TASTED FRESH. For a buffet transitioning to a dinner menu, the food was excellent and didn’t taste stale or old. My most important takeaway from this meal was honestly the price. My dad and I went for sushi a few weeks ago and it was $94+tip for two of us. Taal has $21 for lunch and $25 for dinner (I think, please check) and I found that price point perfect. Especially since four hours after leaving I was still full from one large plate of food and a small plate with pakora and a samosa on it. The fact you don’t have to wait for the food, it’s good food, and with the tax gone you can spend $100 on a family of four means you’re getting the best bang for your buck. I live downtown and it’s $18 for a takeout of just butter chicken here, so an extra $3 for a plethora of options wins my business. If I lived closer I would be here all the time. I look forward to returning in the future.

I have been a loyal customer of Taal Indian Fine Cuisine and always appreciated the delicious food and great service. The lady who usually assists me is exceptionally good, always polite and professional, which makes the experience enjoyable. However, my recent visit was disappointing. A new staff member was argumentative about certain details and later realized I was correct after consulting someone more experienced. Additionally, the portion sizes served were insufficient compared to previous visits. This was my first bad experience, and I hope the management addresses this by providing proper training to ensure consistent service quality. The food remains excellent, but the service needs improvement.

I had the pleasure of trying their food at an event last week in Woodstock. Good food and service. They’ve many different items on the menu. Veg Manchurian, fish, chicken everything was fire. Many vegetarian and non vegetarian options. They have a mobile catering truck that you can have at your door for any occasion. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Taal Indian Cuisine in Brantford is a gem for lovers of authentic Indian food. From the moment you step in, the inviting ambiance and warm, attentive service set the stage for a memorable dining experience. The décor is understated yet elegant, with soft lighting and traditional Indian food. The taste was not as usual, North Indian food. Also, the service was extremely slow. I won't be coming again to the restaurant. The hygiene level was low. Flies roaming here and there over the table. Restaurant management needs to take it seriously, or else the customer won't come back again.

I had high hopes for paneer tika masala and chicken, but the service was a complete disaster and We waited over 1 and half hours for our order. The dish was overly oily and lacked flavor, spicy and sour taste making it unappetizing and chicken was half baked 🤮🤮

The food here in Taal is one of the better tasting Indian buffets out there. The dishes are flavourful and the naan is baked fresh. My dining companion can attest that to be the case comparing it with some of the other Indian buffet places present in Brampton, Ontario. Talking about the restaurant's interior, I can see that the best was done with the space available. The buffet was on its own corner of the floor properly partitioned off from all the seats in the dining area. The table and upholstered chairs were also picked out to exude some level of classiness. Additionally, I appreciate the touches of Indian sights and cultures present posted in the wallpapers. Though the food was delicious, there was not an overwhelming variety of food options present. To be fair, the other Indian food places with more dishes available are at a much higher price point compared to here. Service can be improved. No one was present at the reception desk or by the door when we came in. We had to wait for quite a while before we were attended to and escorted or motioned to our seats.

Back again with friends for another great meal. The negative reviews of the restaurant cannot be taken seriously. Especially the reviewer who indicated there were very few vegetarian meals. That is totally FALSE. There are at least THREE large buffet tables and one is completely vegetarian, and most of the other two are also vegetarian. Therefore the reviewer who said otherwise is not accurate at all. Also the restaurant is fairly new (as you can clearly see from the pictures). It is generally very clean and service generally very good. I have been here 30 or 40 times in the last 8 or ten years and it has never been anything but excellent. Vegetarian options: There is a large number of vegetarian options. One reviewer says there are not. That is false. Most of the dishes are vegetarian on all 3 buffet tables

We have been a regular client. We went for lunch right after picking up kids from school. We did not realize they jacked up their buffet price significantly, almost 20%, charging us price for dinner, who eats dinner at 3:30pm!!!! We loved you guys, this was so uncalled for, we will never visit again!!!!

Just my husband and I this afternoon in the entire restaurant. Buffet looked as though it had been sitting for a while. No naan with our 1st plateful. Mango lassi took 25 minutes to get to us. Waiter was on his phone for a while. No lights up for Diwali. Very disappointed as we have been going to Everest Grill and it is so much tastier, freshly made food. But decided against our better judgement and gave Taal another chance. Never again. With so many more Indian options available in Brantford now, Taal is on borrowed time.

We bought today samosas and they were soggy and uncooked. The outer cover of samosa should be well cooked and crispy. We waited enough to get our order done but still unsatisfied of our order. Sweet was good. Vegetarian options: Buffet has more vegetarian option but we had take out order. We picked up ourself

I have been to Taal with my husband and we ordered Hyderabadi Biriyani. The atmosphere was nice and peaceful but the Biriyani was the worst one we ever had in our entire life. I couldnt even consider that as proper Biriyani . All I can taste was some rice cooked with a lot or turmeric and chilli powder. I hope they change the way they prepere the Biriyani.

I recently visited Taal Fine Indian Restaurant and had a mixed experience. #### Sitting Area The sitting area was quite average. It wasn t inviting, just a normal setup that didn t add much to the dining experience. #### Buffet Food As a vegetarian, I was disappointed with the buffet offerings. There were very few vegetarian options available, and the food was not very delicious. To make matters worse, some dishes were cold, which really affected the overall taste and enjoyment. The service was also quite slow, which was frustrating. Considering the buffet price, I didn t feel it was worth the money. There were only a few non-alcoholic drinks to choose from, which added to the underwhelming experience. #### Non-Vegetarian Options I cannot comment on the non-vegetarian options as I am a pure vegetarian and did not try them. Overall, Taal Fine Indian Restaurant has a lot of room for improvement, especially in terms of vegetarian options and service quality. For the price, I expected a better experience.

didn t like their food because all Indian veg dishes looks like they were made out of ready to cook mixture.Not only this but also of food was also cold and chole looks left over of previous day .even they are not feeling empaty container regularly. To be honest Their panupuri,ice cream and Mango cream have delicious taste.This is my overall honest feedback.

Tonight i had a dinner at taal, i had multiple items and all are extremely bad in taste, the only thing i like is ice cream and their veg. Spring roll. Atmosphere was good and service was average and also utensils were extremely smelly.

I dont expect the best service in the world at a buffett but some service? Maybe take a drink order? Clear the plates in a timely fashion? This place is being run by a bunch of young boys and it shows. Also the food is full of msg cos you will be full after one or two plates so the $25 mark is a bit ridiculous. Food is ok but I wont be going back.

Today is Mother s Day . Arrived at 4:35 for early dinner . Many tables were not cleaned . Saw only one waiter and one waitress . Our table had no utensils . Waitress did bring water for us . That s last time we saw her . Food was leftovers from lunch . Some were crusted over and lukewarm . Naan and rice was dry . We did have dinner but were extremely disappointed . We have been going to the Taal for many years . It looked like orders for delivery were more important than patrons in restaurant . There was a good 5-6 couriers waiting for their orders . Won t be going there again .

Being a buffet, I expected the food to be mid-tier, but it was excellent. Every dish tasted top-tier. Bathrooms were clean and the dining area was nice, only thing that couldve improved was the speed the food was refilled - some of the dishes werent replenished for the entire hour we were seated. I was shocked they only charge $20/person for this. Definitely will return!

Not a great experience this time with Taal, We ordered Paneer bhurgi and veg kolhapuri and I am not sure which sabji we get(mentioned in image),you can guess! Thats whats we did. Overall, both subji has big chops of coliflowers, taste was decent but much more expected.

Best place in town for real authentic Indian cuisine been going here for dine in and take out over 7 years now. Tastes delicious and you can tell they love what they do. If you like Indian food a must go place. Also newly renovated and looks great inside. Clean environment and polite staff. The food is always consistent because the chef and cooks are the same. Portions are always plenty for take out. Wait times can be long for take out put order in early you will be good. Would highly recommend Taal for real authentic Indian food. Have read some reviews with low ratings. Must be mindful this is a restaurant not your mothers or grandmas cooking. You cant compare restaurants to your personal cooking.

Went on a Sunday evening as 6 adults and 2 kids. They have a choice of buffet/a la carte .. we chose a la carte .. Had ordered a veg Thali (bread, 3 gravy, rice, raita and dessert), chole bhature, veg meal combo (roti/rice+gravy) and Kadi pakoda combo. Despite a steady flow of customers, their service was quite quick. For the Thali and veg meal combo, they give us a choice to choose gravy and dessert (for thali) from their buffet menu and this gave us many options to choose from. In my opinion, the portions were more than enough for each person. The bhature had 2 big pooris , with chole, raita and onions. The gravy was all flavorful and very rich and creamy. The decor of the restaurant had important monuments and culture representing India. Staffs were all active and cheerful in their service and kudos to the young gentlemen who served us for remembering all our orders and placing them correctly. Vegetarian options: They have a wide variety of vegetarian menu. Kid-friendliness: They have few high chairs, which are very sturdy, with safety belts and the cushions comfortable.

I really loved the place and the hospitality, but the food at the buffet was not fresh. Don t go for buffet at this place. If you order food separately then only they make it fresh.

Last time it was such a bad experience for us.I didn t like their food because all Indian dishes had same taste(like they were made out of ready to cook mixture).Not only this cause of dislike but food was also cold. By the way, Their panupuri (pakodi) and Mango cream have delicious taste and texture.This is my overall and honest review.

Food tastes awful. For the prices they charge they should put some effort and make the food better. Had ordered bunch of items last night but none of them were even close to good.

Pickup order - I placed my order for thanksgiving around 5.30pm for 7pm pickup. when i got there Someone told me its gonna take another 15-20 minutes. I am standing here right now and its 7.30pm and still they said its gonna take another 5 minutes. This is not the first time it happened with me. I always have a late service for my food and have to wait here for good 30 minutes. I would appreciate it if we get to know this in advance so we dont come here and all we just do is stand and wait for the food.

Super food (buffet ), decent price. Love it .

I would rate it minus for everything, service horrible, buffet was empty, I had to continuously ask for item to be bought. Servers didnt even take orders for drinks and she was busy gossiping on the phone and asked us to wait. Owner had no respect to speak with the customer. Me and my family literally left the place because the service is horrible. This is not the behaviour we need when we go out to eat. Save yourself some time and go somewhere else.

Really great buffet, everything was delicious and had really attentive staff. Buffet was filled till the end. Had a chance to talk with the kitchen staff, they are really great. Today there were some stupid guest yelling at the kitchen staff and front staff as well , i don t know why people act out and shout on the staff. All in all everything was so well and nicely managed.

Taal is a culinary gem that deserves every bit of its five-star rating. The restaurants ambiance strikes the perfect balance between modern sophistication and a welcoming atmosphere. Service is attentive and impeccable, enhancing the overall dining experience. What truly sets this buffet apart is the exceptional variety and quality of its dishes. From the melt-in-your-mouth Naan to the curry extravaganza and delightful desserts, every bite is a revelation. While it leans toward the valued side, the experience is well worth the cost for those seeking a memorable culinary journey. Whether its a special occasion or a desire to indulge in a diverse range of dishes, Taal guarantees an unforgettable dining experience.

We have been here twice, after passing by it many times while driving, and we were absolutely delighted with the quality of the food. I think the option to order off the menu or buffet is genius. Although, I will say, because we have only ordered off the menu, due to wanting our food to be dairy free & at mild spice level, we found the portions to be a bit small. Normally when we dine-in or take out Indian we have leftovers, but not here. As a recommendation: label each buffet item for common allergens, and fill the serving bowl for off the menu dine-in. May return in the future. Vegetarian options: We are vegetarian & dairy free due to being lactose intolerant.

I was here in the afternoon for my brunch and trust me the buffet was horrible , their food tasted so bad and i eventually fell sick being here , the potatoes were cooked in such a bad oil that they were smelling . Every other vegetable curry was tasteless. Very bad experience will never recommend. Most of the time staff is not in the dining area and you have look for them to call them for anything. The samosas and pakoras were old they were not made fresh and it was clear. Pretty sure they do not change their oil. It was so bad .

The buffet is amazing so many choices, so fresh. It is beautiful inside, so unsuspecting from the outside. Costly, but worth it. Will be returning as this was already our second time.

Tonight was the death of my dinner takeout participation at Taals, I am not sure what happened, I order a full meal, nothing was good. The rice was not the usual way it is, it was clumpy, Palak peneer was watery not thick,it seem like it was not cook enough, the chilly chicken was not reddish like chill, it look like boil chicken, vegetable pakora were small and hard I felt like the rice was leftover from earlier,and Pakoras were heated up and once the air hit them there got hard and dry.This is unacceptable, I am not happy, now I got to go and cook.my wife is to nice, she is who bought supper and she did not want me to call and bitch you guys out. But this review will hurt you more than a bitch out.Respect people money!!!!!! Hopefully you will response.

It s a buffet but somehow, it was really not warm enough. The bead ( could not taste the garlic ) lacked the warmth & crispness you get when it s just out of the grill - just sitting there too long Ambiance and service average as well. It s very very bright - like having a flashlight all over your face. Not quite what I m looking for when thinking « fine dinning ».

Ambience is very good. Staff is helpful and friendly. Variety of items were kept. Service was good. Taste can be better. All items were Indian items but missed the Indian touch in terms of taste. Good place to go with family and friends. I loved the Pani Puri and salad. They have sweets and other items for sale so if you wanna buy Indian snacks or sweets you can buy from here. They have buffet and à la carte. I chose buffet. All buffet items are in a corner so Id suggest you to choose a table thats near that corner because youll have to go for taking food many times.

The ambiance is perfect for family dining or spending food time with friends. The wall paintings beautifully showcase Indian culture, featuring Taj Mahal pictures that enhance the overall atmosphere. During our visit, we opted for the one buffet, priced at $19 on weekdays, and Mutton Biryani at $14. While the buffet met expectations for its basic price, the Mutton Biryani was disappointing. Unfortunately, we tasted they used the same Jeera rice to mix with the mutton, resulting in a less than satisfactory experience and terrible. We can call it as meat rice bot Biriyani for sure. Although the buffet was acceptable, we hesitate to label the overall culinary experience as authentic Indian dishes for all tastes. On a positive note, the staff provided commendable service, earning kudos for their efforts to improve and win customers mind

Food here is amazing!! Mushroom Masala was surprisingly fantastic. All other dishes were great. My favourite was the chilli chicken & naan. A little cramped in terms of the buffet area but plenty of space in the seating area, and fancy atmosphere / decor. Great classic Indian music plays in the buffet area to immerse you!
