Daiko Indian Kitchen and Nepali Street Food ( Virtual ) in Etobicoke

lo

Do you want cheap indian food or good Indian food? Because good Indian food exists at other restaurants in the city of Toronto.

The Steamed Momo (Chicken) was possibly the tastiest I have had. It was cooked to perfection. Also tried the chicken curry, delicious! Will have to come check out more items on the menu

I ordered fish tikka. Too much soggy and marination was very light not properly cooked

Food was amazing and so was the service

Delicious cuisine spot

I ordered through Skip the dishes ( Order# 431217361) Yellow lentils and Paneer. Am giving 2 star for the Paneer but the Dal was stale, it tasted sour we couldnt eat it. A total waste of money. Never ordering again.

I really, really love their chat papri. Im not even Indian and this is always in my list. It tastes fresh and good, the ingredients were portionly generous. I love you chat papri

If you can t eat butter chicken because you are vegetarian just try their Paneer Makhni. It test exact like butter chicken. Loved it.

Had ordered from Daiko before their naan was terrible. It was rubbery and I couldn t even tear it. 4 stars for the steamed chicken momos. They were tasty and the cost was also fine. They forgot the momo sauce that was a disappointment as momos are mostly enjoyed with the sauce.

Quiet average tbh! I would suggest looking elsewhere unless you are just hungry and don t really care for the taste and quality.

I had very good food from them. The dal makhani was very good and well priced considering it has gone up I noticed. First time trying Pakora... amazing and well priced. The peas Palau looked like they added some biryani rice in it, it was a bit spicy but still good. The garlic naan was a bit underdone so I cooked it. I would improve there but otherwise good food and well priced. Will definitely be going back.

This is pretty close match to india food.

Loved their chicken momos

Daiko hi Tadka hai! IYKYK! This is our go-to for momos, and really whenever were indecisive on where to eat! Just be careful with that delhi style hot sauce ;) Our order usually is: Tandoori Momo Vegetables Delhi Style Chicken Momos (my favourite) Weve also tried the following, which is equally as delicious: Palak Paneer Paneer Tikka Masala Butter Chicken (so sooo good! it has the traditional creamy taste, not masala) Amritsari Kulcha Always fresh, ALWAYS consistent. ____________________________________________ Instagram | @6ixstreeteats

I went to this place on a weeknight. Food tasted great, pretty legit north Indian food and free papadams :p I m taking 1 star away for they say its Nepalese and Indian food but there is only 1 nepalese dish on the menu

This place is just a delivery kitchen. Couldnt find it anywhere as per the location. The pictures are old and misleading.

Went to this restaurant on a Friday (from Woodbridge) and on reaching the given address we found no Daiko. Only after looking at the pictures we found the actual location as the store next to it was visible so we navigated that. To add to our disappointment the restaurant that was suppose to be open till 10 pm was closed at 9. Me and my husband came all the way to try their Tandoori Momos and we were beyond disappointed. Atleast mention correct details of your location and contact because we also tried calling before arriving but the number didnt seem to work either.

I had an amazing experience with this one. Like wow. My taste buds were so happy after tasting those tandoori momos. Worth the wait. So going to order more. Keep up guys!!

The most authentic south asian taste in Toronto

I ordered Tandoori momos and veg biryani. The momos were amazing . And the biryani too was really good. I would highly recommend them to satisfy your cravings for those momos you might be missing from your home country.

If you are someone who actually had good momos before, please stay away from this place. I tried their fried, delhi and tandoori momos. None of them were good. There are way better places in toronto if you love momos.

The food was delicious and staff are very friendly

Tasty food..

The food is excellent. The ingredients seem fresh and the prices seem in line with what I expect. I ordered directly from them by calling and picking up. The food was ready when they said it would be. They are a welcome addition to the Queensway. My only regret is that I didnt discover them sooner.

Awesome taste. Good preparation Taste is like India.

This restaurant has a gorgeous interior that set a warm, cozy, yet exotic atmosphere. The menu consists of many options for food that give you a great taste of both east Indian and Nepali flavours that can accomodate vegetarians. Highly recommend the Aloo Tama & Bodi and the Baigan Bharta for dishes, they were absolutely delicious, and the Amritsari Kulcha was a fantastic addition! Very friendly and informative server and a clean restaurant :)

Excellent service. Got our order in a reasonable amount of time! Great atmosphere!

Great food, Amazing ambiance!

DaiKo aims to be an experience in dining. The interior is beautiful and spacious giving diners an air privacy and intimacy even when its busy. The staff were very friendly and helpful offering great advice on what to eat as well as being accommodating of our vegan diets by substituting items. All the dishes were made fresh and on order and as a result you should expect to wait a bit for your meal, but the wait will not disappoint. It will give you time to enjoy your dining experience with great conversation or time to enjoy anything from the bar.

Service wasnt super fast but the food was delicious

Great vibe for eating in and our personal favourite place to eat in Parkdale!

Customer service not great, quality of food marginal, and prices decent. Menu selection was also pretty decent. I went out on valentines day for a bite-to-eat with some friends, and this was the only venue that wasnt all full. The waitress I responded in a very condescending fashion when asked if a certain item was on the menu (where we got the impression that we did something wrong, while we found it difficult to find the item we were looking for). Also, there was a sign on the wall that a certain menu item was not available that day, yet we were offered it and told it was available. After I ordered it, I was told that it was not available. The food that I had had an excess of tomato sauce, and some of the food that my friends had was too spicy to the point where he had trouble eating it, even though it was supposed to be very lightly spicy. All-in-all I do not see me returning to this venue based on my experience there.

I went last night by myself as my friend could not make it last minute and they would not honor Groupon as the waiter said it is only good for two people. The restaurant was empty, at around 8pm. Disappointed they would not be more flexible... How do they lose money on one dinner versus two as groupon is prepaid. A tip from one dinner is better than nothing... Groupon refunded my groupon cost, so I just lost time, etc. There are lots of people who dine alone for various reasons, circumstances, etc. Just my humble opinion...

The starters were good. Momos (steam and jhol), spicy potatoes, chicken items, goat items. But we were really disappointed with the main course. We had ordered chicken items like chicken korma, chicken bhindaaloo etc and none of the items met our expectations. They were bland, missing the spice level and each item tasted almost same. But having said that, momos are a lot better than neighboring Tibetan restos and achar will remind you of back home. They have a huge wall painted with Buddha s face, so it provides a good spot for pictures.

Great place for nice relaxing lunch or an exotic evening meal. The food is great and ambience is inviting as well!

Soooooo good!

If a brown guy eats at an Indian restaurant, you know its good. I love this place and all my caucasian and Hispanic friends who crave Indian food are always recommended here and they love it!

We came across this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We ordered butter chicken thali and goat curry thali, the food was decent but served cold. We told the server about our experience, however his response was to tell people in the kitchen that it was cold. Anyhoo, we were not offered any apology or offer to warm up our leftover food. Only thing good about this place is naan otherwise horrible experience. I don t think I ll ever be returning to this restaurant.

Authentic Nepalese and Indian street cuisine. Very nice and delicious

Mmm butter chicken

Best in Parkdale. The food is great here and surprisingly its never full. The staff are very genuine and sweet. A hidden gem. My favorite place in the neighborhood. Just wish the dimmed the lights a bit to increase the atmosphere.

Delicious! Will be visiting again.

From Nepalese tastebuds POV: Customer service was decent. Food items were alright. Momos here definitely DID NOT meet my expectations. I dont know how other reviewers say otherwise. Sukuti was so dry, did not have the authentic taste.

Just ordered from here! So delicious. Very pleased and would love to take a trip to the resturant next time. Great depth of flavour.

Service was nice ..female server very nice..food fantastic

We ordered food tonight from an app and FORTY MINUTES later got a call saying they were all out of everything I ordered and they cancelled it. Word of warning: dont do takeout!

Amazing food and quite a awesome place with awesome service.... i dont know y they have less customers. Do try chat papri and biriyani.

Incredible food, really authentic and worth your money

Great momos and biryani

Came in here on a Friday night and it was a bit empty but my friend had a groupon, so I felt a little worried. But I was soon pleasantly surprised! We knew we wanted to try the momos but we weren t sure which until Another guest suggested we try the tandoori momos and they were amaaaazing! We also order 2 curry dishes and they were delicious. Super friendly and attentive waitress And the facilities were clean.

I would rate this place 0. Its shown as they closes at 10:30 but whem we reached at this place at 9:30pm they said that they can only serve take out! We clearly feel that they dont want to serve us!

We tried Daiko with a Groupon. The decor in the restaurant may be a bit old, but the food is great. Totally worth it. Would recommend.

The momo here is amazing!

Great food and service. A must option for budget friendly Indian food.

A bit pricey but excellent food and great service!

Excellent food plus service. Priyanka was superb. If you love Nepali Food (momo/sekuwa), must visit the place.

Great atmosphere! Did enjoy the food, great portion size. I was pretty happy with the whole experience.

Friendly staff, the food was delicious. Will definitely comeback again.

Ordered through skip. While the order itself didn t go so well, the food was delicious! We had the Tandoori momo, butter chicken and prawn malabar. All of the dishes were delicious and portion sizes were enough. We will definitely be returning to try other dishes!

Foods great but lack of enough servers.

Too slow service

I wish I could describe how good this was.

So good what an excellent find!!

The food is delicious as always. From momos to biryani to naan breads! I am a repeat customer. Highly recommended

Food is yummy. And service was very friendly. Clean place. Wish they still had the mango cheetah beer..

Dined in for chicken Momo and it was terrible couldn t tell if it was chicken or something else, and got a chicken chowmein as a Replacement.Even Chicken Chowmein wasn t that great, and tasted like pad Thai. Never coming back again very disappointed with the experience and will recommend people to stay away from this Restaurant.

The veg biryani was really yumm. The service was super good. surely recommend it :)

Not open during advertised hours, I think its closed permanently

Never been in person but always order 2 goat curries on skipthedishes. Great prices, quantity and taste. Topped off with free delivery and it s almost perfect. FYI I wouldn t order anymore if you guys took out your free delivery

Wow the place rocks. Amazing Momos

Loved the Tandoori Chicken Momos!

One of my kind of Indian food restaurant. Good customer service. Made my Christmas. Thanks for keeping it open on Christmas.

The only reason Im giving it three stars is because of the service. Great service. Saved the experience for us. Food, however was dismal. Also the place was absolutely freezing inside.

Great food. Great service. Great ambiance. Chicken Sekuwa was amazing. Definitely going back!

Best food and warm hospitality, whenever we go.

For the food!

This was the only store open on year end holidays, when I visited. The flooring is like a bathroom, and the counter feels like it doesnt belong there. The food was too juicy and the spice was not fit. The quality of the meet was not good either. The guy brought us an extra bread by mistake and approached us after five min and took it :) The weather was cold but the inside wasnt warm enough either. Generally, I didnt enjoy the experience.

A truly delightful experience! Excellent food for the price. Decor was funky and comfortable. Best, however, was the service. The staff was extremely pleasant, attentive and informative.

taste like restaurants of Kathmandu city

Amazing restaurant, Since I am vegetarian I can only tell you that all the veggie momos are the best and try their veggie thali. but they do have non veg food and wait for a non vegetarian for review :)

Ordered delivery. Quality and price were ok on average, but nothing special. The black lentils were very disappointing: they tasted like they had been seasoned with salt and nothing else. For the price I expected better than what amounts to bean porridge.

Ordered two Nepali veg Thali. Got 4 potato dishes. Not a fair price for potato. Chicken Momo was good though.

Great food enjoyed every last piece of my meal and service with a smile I will be returning for more great tasting food cant wait

I love this place. Food is really awesome. I enjoyed eating chicken momo and sekuwa. I loved the music at the background. Cheerfull staffs! Must visit place

Love thier food and customer service. One of the server (i think Subhana) was wonderful. I love the paintings and pictures on thier wall. Would definitely recommend it.

The food was delicious and the service was very good.

Attentive and thoughtful service. Brilliant Nepali chicken curry. Yum.

Ordered through Just-Eat. Great quality.

Friendly staff but the food doesnt shine as bright. The restaurant is not as bright or inviting as one would expect. The decore is drab to match the food. I would not go back.

Very good veggie thali. Excellent naans. Nice ambiance.

A good indian food you can have here.It is nicely cooked & served in Indian style.I like their vegetables.

Lovely vegan meal with my brother. They accommodated by not adding salt to not further provoke his high blood pressure. Surprised to have frozen green chilies. But it helped add some heat.

This place delivers wonderful food that is high quality and full of flavour. They are attentive and kind and eating here is just how eating out should feel. Five stars.

Best Indian on the west side!

They have some of the best vegan take out in Queen West, simply amazing!

I ate at Daiko for the first time last night and felt compelled to write a review because the food and service were both so incredible. This is by far my favourite Indian restaurant in Toronto. We ordered the samosa chaat to start, which was not only beautiful but bursting with flavour. I had the thali special with chicken madras, which was perfect for a creamy curry lover like me. (The thali special is so huge that I actually took some home because I couldnt finish it all. What a great deal!) My husband had the chicken biriyani which was served with a light yogourt to cut down on heat and he also loved his dish. We ordered beers with our dinner and it felt very special. A perfect cozy spot for date night! Well definitely be back. :)

Great yummy food! Fantastic service. Friendly and kind owner Dibesh! Thank you for making our lunch fun and delightfull!!!

Recommended for authentic Indian thali

Best Nepali food in town. Will go back for sure. If you are craving Nepali food this one is must go...

Really like the food here. My only quibble is that they err on the side of caution as far as spice goes- too mild to my taste. If you like it spicy youd better tell them.

Perfect

Daiko has rightfully earned its place as one of the best Nepali/Indian restaurants in Parkdale area. Its one of the newest Nepali restaurant on the street but keeps delivering quality Nepali/Indian food at a fair price. Good ambience and decor which reminds of typical Nepali culture. There are other Tibetan restaurant in Parkdale as well serving Nepali cuisine for example Tibet Kitchen and others but they always seems to have double standards on the service side. Well on the other hand, Daiko offers equal quality service and food regardless of your race. I highly recommend this place who misses Nepali food and the laid back environment. The two Nepali owners are very welcoming and seems very serious about the quality service.

I bought a groupon for $40, it was named food for four people. This option is no longer available on the groupon site. Ive been to other Indian restaurants that say X amount for X amount of people but they never care how many people you actually have as long as you present the groupon, for example mount Himalayan restaurant. If you have a choice, please go to Mount Himalayan. I went in to Daiko with one friend and after ordering the food was told by the owner that he would not accept my groupon as I didnt have 4 people. I had a smartphone so I went to groupon and bought the voucher for 2 people at $20. If you do the math, $12 for $20 for 2 people means you only save $4 per person. Further, he would not bring 2 bills to subtract $10 from each bill, there had to be only one bill with the $20 subtracted. The owner claimed he would lose money on the $40 voucher and that I should ask for a refund from groupon. Not worthed and wouldnt have bothered coming here if I knew this before. It was embarrassing to have brought my friend here. The food was average, nothing special. Around 1:30 on a Monday afternoon when I went the restaurant was 90% empty, when we left around 3:00 we were the only ones there. Very telling of the poor customer service.

Was excited to try it after the reviews but unfortunately it was a little disappointing. The bread we ordered wasnt well cooked and neither was the goat curry. Spices were decent and appetizers were average. Overall just average food.

Food was fine...but need to add sauce and salad on table

Excellent Nepalese cuisine.

The menu doesnt say that fruit flies accompany the tandoori chicken, the portion of fruit flies that came with the chicken was very generous and overwhelming. When I told the waiter about this he just smiled nonchalantly. Taste of the chicken is ... Meh... Nothing special. Not coming back.

Total disappointment. After reading all the good reviews, I was excited to finally try this place out, but...yeah... Ordered Indian dishes, unfortunately, far from flavourful, tasted blended. Maybe they got good reviews over Nepali food, not Indian.

Authentic tasty food and good portion size

Great spot for large portions and authentic Indian style food. I have tried majority of the menu and would recommend nearly anything. You cant go wrong here.

Great nepali food...loved chicken biryani

Nice and cozy Tibetan restaurant in a neighborhood where there are over half a dozen dumpling places offering the cuisine. We walked in just to explore the place and try out their seafood thali. The thali wasnt that great but the Nepali style chicken and the service was great..

Nice place to have Nepali/Indian food in quiet setting. Staff is cheerful and service is good too.

Good food

So good

Great food, amazing service, decent prices, well definitely be back! Thank you

Excellent food and great service!

My wife and I got the butter chicken, pallak paneer, garlic naan, and chicken momos. The food was amazing quality and portion sizes were in line with other Indian places I have been. The pallak paneer was probably the best I have had and the butter chicken was in the top 3 I have had in Toronto. Highly recommended.

Love this place!

Best bhindi dish in Toronto!

Just ordered from here and it was probably one of the best butter chickens I ve had! So happy to have a place like this in parkdale. Definitely going back to try more of the menu!

Great food cultures especially Nepanese food. Yummy!

Delicious food...would recommend visiting.

A little more expensive for the portion size but very nice none the less

Brilliant Lamb Curry. Genuine service. Will be back.

Delicious food. Great atmosphere

Got fooled by the good reviews posted and wasted my money. Food was not fresh, portions were very small, price high !!

Food was excellent! Not too spicy and really delicious.

Great Nepali momos and very down to earth staff

Awesome food , best naan ever had in canada ..

Good food and service. Had momos after long time. Owner is very humble

The food was delicious, having selections on the menu I hadnt seen before. The waitstaff were helpful and prompt as well. Great experience overall!

Just tried Daiko for the first and last time. Im not a picky eater, but this was gross. The worst parts were the vegetable korma and the gulab jamun. The smell of the korma was reminiscent of a port-potty, i kid you not, that was my first thought when I opened the container. The taste matched the smell and I couldnt eat another bite of that. The gulab jamun tasted like it was made a week ago. Ive never had stale gulab jamun until today; inedible. The palak paneer was really good and the vegetable momo was decent.

Went there tonight ...had momo and khasi ko masu ....food was excellent and loved the customer service .

Happily Visited this Nepali / Indian Resturant Recently. Good food, Nice Environment and Lovely Staffs. We had a wonderful time there. Will visit again.......

Great food but a bit pricey

It was really a nice experience with authentic Nepalese street food, Sekuwa and samosa chat. Recommend if looking for something unique and exciting

Great service and food! We had the chicken momos, khassi jhol and aloo gobi. The food was delicious, with just the right amount of spices and oil.

Great food and even better service. The staff here are super nice.

Stumbled across this place and so glad I did! What a nice surprise and writing this as I sit here because I couldnt wait. Staff are all funny and nice. The food is delicious. All the other patrons are friendly and makes the atmosphere like a family. So fun, will be here again.

you can be relax in here, is very diff location than the other restaurant. love it here.

I walked past and saw the sign for $6.99 lunch special. Chicken or lamb curry with rice salad and bread. I couldnt even finish it. Amazing food. Great quality. Very nice staff.

Amazing food and service

Indian curry restaurant with patio and large bar. Nepali roadside dishes also available. Good lunch combos

Excellent food and service, cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!

I love the food, I love the staff, I cant complain for a second.

Besides being transported to the spiritual world upon entering this space - the human beings that inhabit this business combined with the notably pure air circulating at a cool but warmly comfortable temperature made my entire body relax head to toe. The artwork is stunning and like chocolate for the eyes - all of this however only leads to the best part - the music is so exactly balanced to this eastern Buddhist (Nepalese - authentic family owned to be exact) theme that you can close your eyes and go on a journey your mind and body have sought your whole life - little did you know it was so close - so attainable - and so simple. How was the food? ... you tell me. Nourished, and truly truly happy, Yours truly, Charles Mulhern

Good food, great price!

The food was exceptionally delicious, the real taste of himalayas, the best restaurant in Toronto. Fresh food always, busy place though the owner is very attentive, polite with cautious. Please ask for Lamb Sekuwa, chicken MOMO, Paneer tikka, I love Parkdale cocktail.

There is always space for the improvment.

Great take away Service, can never fault the chicken korma!

They always welcome you with a positive attitude and check to see if you are enjoying your meal while you dine in. The food is healthy and amazing. You can really taste that its made with love. I enjoy the vegetarian lunch special once or twice a week and feel really good after my meal.

Steamed chicken momos, best on the street. A must try

Pricy food for the quantity I received when I ordered online. The food itself was tasty but not thick enough.

Ordered via just eat, they completely forgot one item and there was no recourse. They said they are too busy to deliver the missing item. Guy on the phone didnt seem too bothered about it. Too busy? So they will rather provide shoddy service to more customers rather than good service to fewer? Beware of ordering online from here, you may or may not get everything you paid for.

Food was amazing. Had Chicken and Lamb Sekuwa, both were delicious. Chicken momo was superb and reminded me of back home. Service and location is great as well.

Great Authentic nepali taste....nice ambience...well priced...warm and welcoming attendents. ...different from a lot of other resturant I n toronto which says they serve nepali food...this one really does in terms of menu.recipe.spices.....

Great food, sort of a tense atmosphere.

Amazing authentic food and excellent service. Best momos in the city!

Friendly informative staff matched only by their delicious tasting menu. Spices paired wonderfully with the relaxed atmosphere. If I lived in this city I would be back for sure. Please check it out.

Positive atmosphere, good service, good food really good selection and fusion. Quaint and relaxed.

Some of the best Indian food in the city. Their kulchas are to die for and their palak paneer is sublime.

Best Momo..

Had delivery with Just Eat. Food was great (especially Chaat Papri), delivery guy was super polite and food was oven hot. They just became our favourite takeout joint.

Great place family friendly! Thank you for a great meal!
