“Shanti Chawla offers the best catering service! The food quality and taste are outstanding, and the portions are generous—perfect for a party of 15-17 people. It is a bit on the pricey side, but the experience is well worth it. Highly recommend if you’re looking to impress your guests with great food!”

Am I ever glad I found this gem. I travel 35 minutes at least twice a month to pickup a takeout order for my family. Family run and they are super friendly, they tell you a time and it's always ready for that time and the food is to die for. Considering the outside appearance of the building I am so so glad I followed my nose into this absolute diamond in the rough; a little over a year ago. Their Chawla platter is my personal favourite, I get it with an order of "chicken gravy". If you happen to be an immigrant from the Motherland "Great Britain" you will get nostalgic over trips to the pub followed by midnight curry at some hole in the wall curry house.

I cannot praise this place enough! I ordered on a whim and was not disappointed. The food arrived hot and fresh. Amazing portions that was both dinner and lunch! The samosas are the best I've had. I'm stoked that this place is local to me.

We decided to give this restaurant a try and it was well worth it. We ordered assorted tandoori platter which had chicken tikka, malai tikka , seekh kebab and fish tikka 🤌🏻. It also came with a box of salad and 2 naan ( which is was a surprise because be have never got free salad or naan with tandoori platters from other restaurants) We also ordered paneer tikka and loved it. It was soft, juicy and flavourful. Will definitely try out other menu items !

Food is impeccably delicious. Especially the curries. But some items are ridiculously overpriced. $18.99+tax for a small container of butter chicken is insane. You don t have to pay that much even in a star restaurant for that QUANTITY.

We ordered for our team today , butter chicken , Lamb Vindaloo , Chicken Korma . Naan , Rice etc . The butter chicken was listed as white meat but contained thigh meat , the lamb vindaloo was missing heat and was a bit low on flavour , the Korma was good . Im not going to give less than 5 stars because the food was good and we got it fast but the vindaloo needs alot more spice added to it . Ours was the same spice level as the korma. Its also good that some of these dishes dont contain wheat .

Recently ordered from here and can say it is officially my FAVORITE Indian restaurant in literally Ontario, period. Its not often we are impressed with every dish, especially when you are Indian yourselves, but the food here was amazing, everything! Super tasty without being overwhelmed with spice. We ordered the tandoori platter (moist and flavorful), chicken curry ( packed FULL of chicken) , vegetarian Thali (so much food!), Sev poori (cold app, they put the sauce on the side so it wouldnt ger soggy my the time I got home and it was so good, love their tamarind chutney) and the channa bhatura (cant go wrong.) Mild is very mild in my opinion but flavorful, we opted for a medium spice, which was perfect. Ontop of the food being delicious, when we got there early we could see them making everything fresh and the service was very friendly. Its easy to want to support them because of the food but the amazing service makes it so I will always pickup myself, even though I dont live close by. I want every penny of what I spend to go to these people and not to an outside delivery service if I can avoid it. Anyways, I rarely write reviews but this place definitely deserves a shout out. I will be going back weekly when Im in Brantford, since I live in Hamilton.

This is a fantastic hole-in-the-wall spot for Indian food. It s not a sit-down restaurant, but there s a couple spots for a quick bite sort of thing. Delicious spices, full-bodied flavour, and generous portions. It was one of the best lamb curries I ve had with super tender meat, the butter chicken was awesome too. Get the aloo gobi and palak paneer. The raita and mint chutney came in big side containers, not those tiny one-oz things. It looks like a family-run joint and they had warm smiles when we came to pick up and were just lovely people. A local gem.

Thrilled to discover the best Indian spot in Brantford! Affordable prices and superior taste set it apart from the local competition. Hoping they keep up the fantastic combo of quality, service, quantity, and price for the long haul. It s a gem in a sea of fading flavors and escalating costs. Some local Indian restaurants seem to have lost their flavor over time, accompanied by unwelcome price hikes. It s a reminder that the delicate balance of taste, consistency, and pricing is key for enduring success in the restaurant realm.
