It offers Indian vegetarian meals, snacks and sweets. The prices are reasonable as it’s a self serve restaurant with modest dining experience. I enjoy their thali which is served with puri, naan or roti. It includes garden salad and pickles plus 5 options to select from their menu. The place is reasonably clean and well kept with Indian music playing in the background. The presentation of food and sweets is professionally done. The crew is polite and friendly offering efficient service. A good place to dine if you’re looking for something vegetarian but don’t want to break your bank.

Worst Manchurian we ever had the taste is like pathetic No one can even imagine. And moreover when we said this to the lady at counter she denied to admit which seems very rude rather than she started given excuses we only used prepared sauces. Overall I strongly recommend to all don’t waste your money on pathetic food and place.

★★★

I tried many items but the only one I liked was dahi puri,other then that I was not at all satisfied with anything. Service is good friendly staff. But they should work on keeping the taste up. Huge menu and it's not expensive.they can try to to improve the taste and increase the price too .

★★★

Brar’s Pakwan, Islinton Avenue is a small , laid back eatery unlike its parent Buffet bar. To me this place is more of take out even thoug it has seating . Place and people dont take overall very seriously as it appears. The thali options are still most economical in the GTA although i sometimes feel the curries and sabjis are leftovers from buffet restaurant. Chaats are just ok although paapdi chaat has been consistent. Fresh paranthas are of nice quantity amd taste good. Sweets are regular but for jalebis ( ghee made) depending on when its made. Service is average

★★★★★
September 22, 2024

The Shahi Paneer at Indian Pakwan is absolutely delicious. The paneer is soft and soaks up all the wonderful flavors of the creamy, rich gravy. The sauce is made with cream, giving it a smooth, slightly sweet taste with just the right amount of spices.It goes perfectly with naan or rice, making it a comforting and satisfying meal. The portion size is amazing, and the presentation is nice too. The staff are friendly and make sure you have everything you need.

June 22, 2024

This place is garbage, we order, munchurian, chai, bhel puri. It took so long just to get bad food, they also spelt special, they spelt it like this (sepecial) which made me laugh, people there are very rude. Lastly food there felt expired, like the texture was not good. Chai had no taste like it was water. And munchurian had too much color, in it it also had a very bad taste, we wasted so much money ($50) just to throw it all away in the garbage.

June 22, 2024

Today my wife buy samosa from there.That was uncooked from inside.The base of samosa was too thick.

Although the eatery makes a decent business, the place is in shambles and begging for a renovation. Vegetarian options: This place offers only vegetarian options and there is a variety to choose from. Parking: Getting a spot to park can be challenging sometimes. The entire parking lot is riddled with potholes. Be prepared to risk damage to your vehicle while entering/ exiting the Plaza parking lot. The ramps leading in and out to the street from/to the parking lot are dangerously steep and broken at the same time.

I went there for dinner and the place was completely empty except for one family. We ordered 2 thalis of $13.55 including tax. We had 6 curries to select from. Thalia comes with 3 sabji, rice, sweet 2 naans and some 2-3 spoons of salad. The quantity of everything was very little; 1 malai kofta, 2 panner in Palak paneer, 3 panner in Mattar panner. The naan were good and freshly made. Main thing, Gulab jamun were made of sooji(no authentic taste) and tasted weird. To wrap it up, not worth $13.55.

Food is tasty even though the restaurant is rather small and claustrophobia inducing. I wish they would serve saag 7 days a week instead of just on Tuesdays. Their thalis are the best deal for vegetarians. We got a selection of 3 vegetables, 1 naan, rice, desert and salad.

February 22, 2024

This restaurant has literally gone to dogs . Ordered a gobi paratha meal for eat-in a fortnight ago and was served a aaloo paratha without any information and the serving / kitchen staff was unapologetic. Reason given was that they were out of cauliflower (gobi). Today ordered a gobi paratha meal again and this time was served without the white butter. Again no information / explanation. This is typical Punjabi way of dealing with customers. Have been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years but the service levels are pathetic now and food quality also has gone down. Last time ever to this restaurant and would actively dissuade people in my group to come here.

They really need to work on their food authenticity and quality. Bhature were good but the Channa was bland. No taste, flavour and they were actually chole not even channa. We ordered aloo paratha and samosa and the potato filling was also raw and bland. The only item which was consumable was Mango lassi. Never going back.

I ate Channa bhatura and sweets their presentation and taste was so low grade, never will be recommended for these items.

Ordered vege biryani three times in the recent past. The first time, it was okay. The second time was very nicely made, which was my expectation from the past. Third time, no paneer at all ( it is made with chili paneer, sauted green bell peppers and onions with rice). Bell pepper and onion were not cooked at all (onion was quite strong because of that). For all this, the place was not busy at all! I dont understand the customer service. I will visit this place again! Horrible!

Today weather was good so I thought to buy some samosa and pakoda But when i came home and was about to eat my 2lb pakodas in them i got 1lb oil and 1lb pakoda It was terrible experience And I think they want to serve oil but mistakenly added samosa in it It was soo so much oily Thank god i have my health card with me so i am able to get my treatment right away if i got any heart problems or high cholesterol So my suggestion to public is if you don t have health card or enough money for your treatment please don t visit here And last but not least if u are cooking in home and u don t have vegetable oil u can visit them and get samosa and pakoda and u can squeeze them and u can get enough oil for your one month cooking at home by purchasing just 2lb pakodas and just 4-5 samosas

Been coming to this place since I was a little kid and honestly the food is not good anymore. It s too spicy, doesn t taste good, and the overall quality has dropped, while the prices have sky rocketed. $1 for a samosa? It used to be 2 or 3 for 1! What happened? The malai Kofta used to be the best sadly not anymore. I can name other places in Toronto that have surpassed Brar s standards. Such a shame for a classic and homely place that was close to my heart. Service is always good however, but the food quality is just awful lately.

Good food though heavy on the oil, especially with the dry vegetables. But overall tasty. Ambience can do better, loud music blaring and furniture etc can do better. Place looks outdated. Offers vegetarian food only . Come for the food and dont get your hopes too high on service or ambience.

Such a worst experience, I went to get some sweets but they are selling sweets which are 1 week older and other food smells like garbage.. I would never go back to this again. Waste of money and time. There price is low but no one needs it when ur food is garbage, so fix ur food then people will pay at ur store too

Loved this place for 10-15yrs but both service and food quality have declined. Especially service. If more than 4 customers walk in, the staff cannot handle it & everyone will be served VERY slowly. I had to wait 25min for a thali (?) - this should be the fastest serving item on the menu. And either they are serving old food more often or adding more oil. It doesn t feel healthy.

Food is not as good as it was before. During my visit last Friday evening there was only couple of customers in the premises. It seems Brar pakwan is now losing its glory.

ordered Chola bhatura, Samosa, and tea. Chola bhatura was OK. Tea was really bad no flavor. It was like half boiled and no tea flavour at all but the Samosa was the highlight. It was horrible extra oily triple fried, or double fried could taste stale oil in the filling had not taste after that I ve been feeling nauseous.

Food is okay. Consider their curries as home made curries, nothing special in them.

I ordered take out and they made me wait an hour to collect my tali, instead serving a giant party in the other room ahead of me. They could have given me 2 min to get my take out ahead of them......

This place hasnt changed since I came to this country as a kid. Very nostalgic whenever I come here. Get their legendary Malai Kofta. You wont be disappointed.
