Apart from having had food multiple time from Handi, this review is specifically about the recent catering order we had for our birthday party. The food was tasty, sufficient and most importantly delivered warm to our venue at a very reasonable price. Would definitely order again and suggest to other friends who are looking for catering orders.
Nestled in the heart of downtown, The Rustic Table offers a cozy atmosphere with a charming, vintage decor. The menu features a delightful mix of seasonal dishes, showcasing local ingredients. I started with the roasted beet salad, which was fresh and bursting with flavor. For the main course, the herb-crusted salmon was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with a lemon dill sauce. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. To top it off, the dessert—an indulgent chocolate lava cake—was the perfect sweet ending. Overall, The Rustic Table is a gem for anyone looking for a warm dining experience with delicious food. Highly recommend!
Music was slapping. Service was attentive and fast. But the food. Garlic naan could have been a little more garlicky but I love garlic so that is my tastebuds. Chicken pakora was awesome. Citrusy and light for it to be fried. Star of the show was the butter chicken. It was sweet tomato-y, and just barely spicy at the same time. And we came 1 hour before closing and food was still fresh.
It's worth money, but ordering with Uber eats not worth, better dine in and enjoy the hot hot stuff, highly recommended for chat lovers. Satisfying samosa with chana. Thank you
Horrible experience. No other clients were there when we visited on Jun 30th, 2024 evening. 1. Ordered 1 thing, got a different one. We ordered a jeera paaper, non spicy for a toddler. They gave kaali mirch paaper which was fully spicy. Our baby cried. They said, they have only this available. And after 5 min, the girl brought jeera one which was half cooked. I have pics as a proof. 2. Asked their advice about naan.. paneer naan or chicken naan.. which one is more juicy and filled? They recommended Chicken naan. Which was absolutely paaper, not a naan from any angle. Had to return it. Asked for thaali.. they offered certain items for thaali. No item was fresh. Daal called as Daal makhni in their menu, was actually an old frozen Maah cholyaan dee daal. Mutton, krahi paneer, karhi all were stale. Shahi paneer was excessively sweet. Gajrela has too much sugar and khoya was khutta (sour) in it They kept on forgetting our order for roti, naan. We were just 7 adults, no other clients at that time. JUST 1 thing was fresh and tasty... garlic naan. And tawa roti. Tandoori roti was hard. Outside, the walk way had a step, which is not noticeable. My daughter's foot got hurt. I usually am not picky eater and never leave left overs in my plate..but this was really not worth eating. I have pics to prove these reviews. It was a birthday celebration for one of our family members. But all got ruined. Front desk girl was polite and said sorry for everything, but that doesn't help.
Worst place to visit The servers keept forgetting our order . The food seems old and stale. No proper ventilation and the cooking smoke kept coming in dining area. We ordered veg thali, Shahi paneer was full of sugar and too sweet , not authentic shahi paneer. Garlic Naan and tawa roti were ok. The owner need to improve the service and food quality. The food was not good for the gut health. The gulab jamun had hair in it as attached in picture Will never visit again Update to owner reply We dine in on Sunday evening,, with due respect it did not meet our expectation as we were doing birthday celebration. Had a conversation with staff and asked for owner number and they said they font have it. We took sweet dish with us in provided containers by staff and posted picture next day when we had it. Nothing too harsh against you or restaurant. Just keep yourself in our place, a person coming to restaurant for a important celebration and the staff forget about the naan and food getting cold on table, you ask them again and comes after 15 min. What is the significance of having dinner at restaurant. The review was the only way to bring it to your attention as staff did not provide owner contact information. Pictures for owner reference and advise please don't be rude in Google review reply unless you investigate yourself.
Excellent food and service. We ordered about 10 different dishes and all very tasty except fish tikka being too salty. My favourites were Palak paneer, butter chicken, and samosas. Lassi was very good too. The employees are exceptionally kind too. Very reasonable price with generous amount. Highly recommend to try this restaurant.
The food was great. We had the Vegetarian Manchurian (in gravy) which was outstanding. And the Gobi Aloo, which was also good; however the potatoes were sadly rubbery. And, to accompany our meal we order the Jeera Rice and Garlic Naan – both of which were great. And the DESSERTS were excellent – we took a selection home with us. All around a pleasant experience. If you're not in a hurry, dine in. The lady that served us was quite pleasant. However, she seemed a little overwhelmed. I think she was working alone, and dealing with UBER EATS and TAKE AWAY orders. 100% we will return.
Great place Good vibes Polite staff Food tastes amazing Would recomend
Nice food.. the service was very good..
The food is soo tasty and authentic. The staff is also friendly and love the service

Food was amazing
Food was amazing and service was fast and good.
Food was delicious and staff was very polite
Service and food was amazing here. Chicken tikka and malai soya chaap was so tasty.
Absolutely brilliant experience was served by Suman and she recommended Amritsari kulcha. Never have I had a more pleasant meal. Suman was so polite and helpful, going above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Thanks Suman for the wonderful care given to me. Forever repeat customers!
It was my first time visiting the restaurant. The staff was good and polite. The service was fast. I ordered chana bhature. Nothing exciting there. Not authentic. The speaker for the music was kept next to their sitting area and you could feel the beats humming through the seat making it uncomfortable.
Drive through coffee .the server did not greet or say anything straight on my face machine and closed the window this happened around 2:47 pm on December 4th
Pleasant atmosphere, good food, nice service!
So delicious
I place skip the dish order, for gulab jamun , manchurin/fried rice which are disgusting. Gulab jamuns were sour and they put more tomato ketcup in manchurin and rice are half cooked. Never recommend. Food
It was nice Vegetarian options: It was good Food : 5/5 |
Best food & always great service by suman.
Food was not tasty , i ordered chaat papri with bhalla and veg spring roll And spring roll has no taste, i feel like there was no salt also Food
Tried their food for the first time and it was chefs kiss. Never had such amazing karahi paneer & garlic Naan. Staff is very co-operative and recommended us such good dishes. Suman is very nice and polite.
Delicious food, inviting ambience, warm atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
They are serving frozen food , like Garlic nan, spring rolls ,. Disappointed with this .
bad gulabjamun
Best ever Indian food I had in a while. Great ambience with excellent service and amazing food.

Today visited Handi Indian cuisine and i received fabulous service from Suman. I received my takout just in 15 mins which was never before. Thank you for your service Suman and Handi restaurant.
The chicken biryani was awesome .
Good place to have quality food and surroundings.
Clean place with friendly staff Vegetarian options: Nice veg options Parking: Ample parking
Don t go and waste your time as we went there yesterday at 9:20 pm and staff doesn t want to work so they refuse for dine in. We requested them but they kept refusing we also mention that closing time is 10:00pm so kitchen probably close at 9:30pm. I think so owner need to rectify this issue and change the staff and if owner know all this then they should close the restaurant permanently.
I know I can always rely on Handi for some good Indian food! Whether its their Lamb Biryani or their Paneer curries, the taste and quality are always great. You can adjust the spice level of their dishes too. Every time I call or visit the store, the staff are very friendly. Make sure to check out this spot!
Amazing food & service. The tea remind me of back home. Kid-friendliness: Great with kids Food : 5/5 |
Good food
Simran helped us out to have a wonderful time
Food is awsome
Just keep yourself in our place, a person coming to restaurant for a important celebration and the staff forget about the naan and food getting cold on table, you ask them again and comes after 15 min. What is the significance of having dinner at restaurant. The review was the only way to bring it to your attention as staff did not provide owner contact information.

Amazing food and service!
Must give a try to it fabulous service !
Friendly staffs, restaurant is very clean.
amazing authentic indian food to try in etobicoke !best taste i ever had in gta . must give a try to their drive thru
We tried kadhai paneer. It was really good. Spices and everything was appropriate.
Amazing restaurant, amazing atmosphere, the staff is very nice, amazing food, highly recommend it.
This place offers drive thru, I have been to this place few times. Reason of low rating is- not super fresh food, neglecting staff ( no greeting, not mentioning the order prep time- just took payment and went in kitchen) Once I ordered shahi paneer in which some other type of paneer was added. Parking: Drive thru
I visited this place 3 months back . The staff are great , service is prompt but really the food is not up to the mark and the portion sizes are really disappointing. We were not happy with this place. I saw Instagram influencers making videos and it really feels that they are trying to promote the place. My honest opinion was if food and portions are decent then no promotions are required. Every time I follow Instagram I end up in a disaster food experience. Getting good experience in a restaurant is a great addition but food is the main essence. No intention to go back to this place. Sorry
Vegetarian options: The food was delicious with a lot of varieties moreover the staff was nice and cooperative Food
Amazing and fast service! Suman made sure that we have everything we need and checked up on us. Kitchen staff was fast and efficient. Would come again for sure.
Hygienic, amazing food and friendly staff
Amazing service all the girls working there are super friendly. Food is fantastic fabulous.
We were there on weekend around noon time the food wasnt ready we tried to order thali at that time only dal and channa for serving ready so we end up take out it took long. For the price we paid quality of food and quantity both were not good.
Food was amazing and customer service is very good .
The food is always good and ready on time. Everyone is very friendly and they care about their customers:) It is one of the only places I trust to go for good Indian cuisine:)
For best Food and customer service must visit at handi indian cuisine.
We had an amazing dinner at handi indian cuisine and the staff were fantastic, warm and welcoming. The food was impeccable, delicious and gorgeously presented . We will certainly be back to celebrate with them again.
Food and workers booth are good. Parking: Lot of free parking Food : 5/5 |
Amazing goat Curry. Got it with the garlic on it was phenomenal
This is our go to spot for Indian cuisine. The Thali s are great value, and the food tastes excellent. The service is always pleasant and the atmosphere is relaxed. I ve been coming here since it opened, and will continue to be a repeat customer. Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options available - nearly equaling the meat choices in quantity
Nice food and awesome service roti are the best. Suman is best there friendly great vibes.
This is very clean cute little place to spend quality time with your loved ones. This was our 3rd time and the quality and quantity remains the best in Whole GTA. Loved their paneer tikka masala and garlic naan. Komal served us really wel.
Best experience ever in 11 years of my life here in Canada. Never ever see any restaurant providing free meals on their own .

Love the food! Me and my family have been looking for a food place in Toronto and we came across Handi. The food, service overall everything was amazing!
We got in the restaurant and the servers were really nice, and our food came out relatively quick. The food it self tasted amazing, almost as if it was made by a 5 start chef. Me and my family will definitely be coming back, if you can I d recommend you visit.

Excellent food+. Excellent service +excellent atmosphere + excellent price
Everything professional
first attempt food
Had a very bad experience here today where they told me i cant dine in. So i went inside and they had a party there. I asked the lady can i dine in, she was like yes and i was sitting and in a minute she came back and said you take out hecause you will feel uncomfortable here. Very rude service. There should be a note if the restaurant isnt accepting dine in. Embarrassing the customers this way was very rude. Time: 8:20pm. Date: 20th August 2024. I came here very often but never again.
Really enjoyed the party here one of the best restaurant in GTA. Will definitely be back
every thing excellent
Good experience. Good food and very welcome staff.
Amazing food+service
Excellent customer service . And food is super delicious best Indian restaurant i have ever visited .
Excellent place ! Must give a try .
We checked in during last order time but the host/waitress Komal was absolutely welcoming and really amazing at serve, also special thanks to chefs to serve us at last order time, such kind gesture from the staff, as well food was delicious so most recommended. Thank you so much for your service.
Yesterday, I visited Handi Restaurant, and it was an amazing experience beyond my expectations. They follow Guru Nanaks philosophy, and I was impressed when I saw that they offer free food to those who dont have money. That was truly remarkable. May God give them much more. Apart from my food, I ordered saag, which was delicious. I highly recommend everyone to visit this restaurant. We need to promote such establishments. , . Vegetarian options: Saag is delicious
I visited the restaurant along with my wife and found some noticeables- Aroma of the dishes served was tempting Quality of food was excellent Cleanliness was good Behaviour of the staff was good Above all the worth appreciating was the point- No need to pay anything for the food served to the person who doesn t possess money. Vegetarian options: Good menu contains variety vegetarian dishes
We being Indians visited Toronto and specially Handi(Etobicoke) restaurant.We had Dal makhani,Chana masala,matar paneer golgappa,papri bhalla chaat.The lunch was amazingly delicious and even tastier than Indian restaurants,cleanliness there was of par excellence.The service by the restaurant staff was praise worthy.Punjabi songs were being played in the restaurant and we enjoyed each n everything.
Good
I only have one word for their food and service that is Outstanding. We had their dahi kebabs then Kolkata jhinga Masala and Mutton Dal Tadka with some Mirchi naan and it was heavenly delicious. We had such delicious food in a while. Must try
We were driving thru the city we found Handi and we ordered the take out lamb saag chicken curry Dal Tadka tandoori chicken and of course garlic Naan we loved it everything was just like we cook at home if we will stay here tomorrow we will try to dine in Thank you Handi for accommodating us even we called in for take out at last minute amazing food amazing food and amazing food
Great service by komaldeep . Enjoyed authentic Indian food. Chai was amazing . Giving 5 star overall
Bought food from there and it made my stomach upset, when I called to complain to this place, the lady keep saying it is not possible . Would give zero stars if I could. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE.
Great food and well managed staff
Excellent service and great atmosphere Delicious food must visit
Very delicious food, excellent service, must visit
Nice place to dine in and take away
Had a great experience at handi while having a delicious lunch.
I used to love this restaurant for its great food, as my previous review shows. However, over time, the quality has declined. We visited three times, and each time the food was not up to the standard it once was. It seems like they might have changed the chef or something, but the food is just not good anymore. We ordered the biryani today, and it was so oily and bland that it tasted like plain rice.
The food was bland.
The service and the food was really good . Aaj Mumbai yaad aagaya after eating this food you should definitely visit the restaurant
We ordered cheese sticks for dinner. Instead of cheese sticks they provided panneer sticks. They told both are same. when we asked again they managed it is chefs mistake and sorry. They billed for same price as cheese sticks. They could have told not available if they cant provide the requested dish.
Even the food thats supposed to be spicy is sweet even though we specifically asked for spicy food. I know the taste of authentic Indian food but thats not what was served. Service was good and food preparation time was food too. Although we visited them during non peak hours.
The Handi grill is a nice sizzling assortment of kebabs. The Hariyali, tandoori fish and seekh kebabs are really good. Natural is one of the best I have had in Toronto. Kid friendly. Very courteous service.
Tasty food with very courteous service by Suman. The tandoori roti was very soft and the spice level was just as we had requested. Vegetarian options: Their Channa Paneer Do Pyaza was delicious!
Thanks to Sumans great service, our group enjoyed the dinner and the meals were exactly as requested with mild spice level. Their Channa Paneer Do Pyaza and Dal Tadka were delicious. Vegetarian options: The Channa Paneer Do Pyaza is great!
I recently dined at Handi Restaurant and it was a great experience. The food was excellent and service was exceptional.
Fresh food and friendly gestures of the front desk lady always makes us come back to this place. Great job! Thanks
Always great food and service at Handi! The team is so kind and accommodating with all of our orders. The food is fantastic and is one of my favorite places in Rexdale! I highly recommend coming here!!
I love Haandi, and have brought my entire family to enjoy the food and the service. The thalis are generous and the breads are made to order. A must try if you are in the area!! Parking: Four spots in front and plenty of parking spots in the back. Kid-friendliness: Good child friendly menu options. Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on one floor.
We loved the food We ordered chicken tikka masala spicy and we loved the spice level And garlic naan was awesome too Food : 5/5
Suman is great, so professional, kind and considerate.
