Chauhan's Fine Indian Cuisine & Banquet Buffet Dining in Markham

I visited this place after a gap of few years hoping food quality would have improved. It is still bad. Food

Best food place in Markham (Canada) all types food available in point ..

Attended a birthday party. Food was not great. Goat mutton curry served was not that great. Although they had a good appetizers.

This is our favourite Indian Restaurant. The standard of excellent food in always consistent. The quality of the food is superb.

I called the restaurant asking for job and the attendant replied to me rudely. I mean how can you be so rude to someone that was just asking something. I dont know her name but this was very disrespectful for me and it can happen to anybody. Service

Delicious chicken biryani with long grain rice and a generous amount of chicken breasts. Thanks

Great food.

It s a great buffet place, buffet is open all days for lunch and costs $16. Buffet includes chaats, salads, naan, 4 vegetarian dishes, 1 chicken dish, 1 fish dish, 1 mutton dish, ice cream, biryani, jeera rice, 2-3 types of sweets. This was the menu when we visited and the menu changes. Overall it was good. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options Parking: Lots of parking spots

The food was delicious in the restaurant the waitress were friendly, polite kind .

I can t recommend Chauhan s for the buffet. Met up with a friend around lunch time and I couldn t even tell if the place was open as they had curtains covering all the windows which did not feel welcoming at all. They had a very limited buffet selection, most of the food was subpar, and some dishes tasted as if they were sitting out for a while. At the time, I was surprised at the lack of customers as there were only 3-4 other people there but it makes sense now. Also, someone walked in for a takeout order and the server was getting the food from the buffet which was very strange but I m not sure if maybe that s just what the customer wanted. I will give them some credit for playing Arijit Singh s music since he s a great singer but that was really the only positive experience about my visit. There s really no reason to go here when there are far better buffet spots literally less than 10 minutes away.

Love the food but need to add more veg options like bhindi, gobi ,bharta on a regular basis would Love to see rajma added on menu. Love the dahi bhalla n tomato soup. Should be offered daily. Lunch buffet hours should be extended to 330. Its a hidden gem in office plaza since it moved from usual woodbine n denison,Markham to a 14th woodbine location, 5min away.

Best service we lost our gold ring thy find and give us back

Chauhan is an exceptional dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds with its unique blend of Indian and global flavors. The ambiance is chic yet inviting, setting the stage for a memorable meal. The menu is a culinary journey, offering innovative dishes that are as visually appealing as they are delicious.

Chauhan is very polite, decent, and respectful. He was very up front and made everything go very smoothly. Food was great, service was great. Highly recommended.

The food is Excellent, the exterior and interior, Excellent as well. Food

Pro- sizeable banquet hall with simple interior Cons- washroom lobby is piled with chairs and other storage - even handicapped washroom was used as storage place- food is hopeless- I attended someone s marriage related function and break cutlet was half cooked and without any taste- tea was cold- Lunch was below average-all Punjabi curry were too much sour and all of them made with same gravy - they might be cheaper in price but I think they should serve at-least decent food. Very much disappointed by the services.

Dhaka veerji

Amazing food

Delicious food and good service

Vegetarian options: Good selection & very fresh Food

Great catering , one of the best in Toronto

The food at this restaurant was very tasty. The menu is quite varied and the prices are fair. It was the best Indian food Ive had in quite a while, especially for the price. The staff was friendly and attentive. I had the Lamb Rogan Josh with Garlic Naan and a side of Pulao rice and it would highly recommend it.

Tasty & reasonably priced. Loads of free parking. The drab light industrial area contrasts with the elegant interior. Buffet variety has shrunk a bit post Covid. May be a little limited if youre vegetarian. Vegetarian options: Somewhat limited since Covid Parking: Parking lot is outside the rest. Easy to access

1. Dirty Carpets: Before our 100-person event, we had to beg staff to vacuum carpet for a THIRD time bcs it was disgusting and they werent acknowledging that (see photo evidence attached) 2. Chairs: chair covers were very dirty, many with stains and some with tears and holes (see photo evidence) 3. Cloths on tables: were dirty with old food or coffee type stains. They looked like theyd been washed a thousand times (these are the small cloths that are tucked inside glasses) 4. Garbage from a previous party was left in a corner and *we had to point it out* for it to be removed (photo provided) 5. Owner Not Available: at the crucial hour, rught before the event, staff made several excuses for the owner not speaking to us (ie. Hes in the back and busy, hes on lunch, then finally hes at home). This was BEYOND frustrating as we needed him to complain about the condition of the venue. We are very soured from our experience and will never use this venue again.

Vegetarian options: Lots of options. Food

Function we attended was too crowded with little space to move around.

Good food

Delicious food everytime. A little quiet as its never too busy, still a best kept secret ! Food

Delicious chicken Biryani and garlic naan.

Enjoyed the food so much.

Space is to contingent Mic service is very bad Sound quality in the hall is too bad Need improvement in internal decoration and design Can be much improved and attractive Workers need training to serve the guests in the hall

The banquet hall his good. Good space. Food is also good. The mic system is very bad-needs improvement and the staff also need to show respect to the guest. Good but needs improvement

We ordered a catering package for 30 people and we were very happy with the food as well the quantity. The owner Mr. Chauhan made sure that our guests tasted the best is the best!! Very happy. Will always recommend.

Had my daughters first birthday party here. We booked the restaurant side of the venue on September 28th for October 30th. We selected the venue because it was spacious for our group and gave the owner our deposit. Three days before the party we confirmed the number with the owner and he told us based on our numbers he would put us in the banquet room. Told us it was spacious and could accommodate 100 comfortably. Our group was of 56 individuals, which included about 20 kids. We arrived at the venue on the day of the party and he took us to the banquet room. When we arrived we saw that the room was tiny compared to the restaurant which we initially booked. To think that this so called banquet room could fit 100 people is ridiculous. During covid you would think the owner would possess the common sense to be concerned about the well-being of his patrons and not try to crowd them in a tiny room with 56 people. When he was confronted about this he got defensive and repeated it could hold 100 people. He started getting rude with us because he knew our guests would be arriving in a few hours. The owner has horrible customer service. He does not value customers once he has your deposit. The food was another issue. The buffet was refilled only when items ran completely out rather refilling them when they were running low causing guests to feel there wouldnt be enough food so they took less than they desired. We booked the venue until 11pm and the owner felt a need to tell me at 9pm we only had it till 10:30pm. Had to remind him of what time we agreed to. At 10:30pm a staff member came to me at the direction of the owner to let me know that the owner wanted me to settle the bill. He tried to charge me an additional $125 for a speaker he said would initially be free to use because the restaurant we originally booked had a TV we were going to use for audio purposes. As you can tell I had a very bad experience. I strongly suggest that you do not book this venue for any function. If you do decide to disregard my warning, make sure you get everything you agree to in writing. The owner will try to nickel and dime you every opportunity he gets.

We hosted our family event at Chauhans this past weekend. Amar Chauhan was extremely accommodating up until as well as during the event. In addition, he also allowed us to do tasting of the food prior to having the event. The food was great and the service was awesome. I would highly recommend hosting your next family event at Chauhans Banquet hall.

The place is beautiful, service is good, the food is delicious, the place has a friendly environment . I will recommend this place to everyone

Absolutely do not book here if you respect your time. No level of professionalism or honestly - we booked way in advance for a baby shower happening for 80 people and paid a deposit for Sunday October 16th but 3 days ago the owner booked another party on the same date, and cancelled our booking with no cause despite us putting in our deposit. Claimed he forgot but in reality it was since it was a bigger party of people = more money for them. The owner is extremely cunning and started saying things like do you want me to strangle myself or do you want to make this into a huge issue. Take your business someplace else, especially if you dont want to stress at the last minute to find another banquet hall for your event. 0 stars if I could.

Don t go here! Very disappointed with visit, don t believe the 5-star ratings because sometimes food is good and sometimes it is not. I went there for holi party, and the food was terrible! The chaat papadi was bland and the chutneys were all sweet, spring rolls were bland, and chicken tika was raw!! The staff cleared away plates that were full and while people were eating from them! Got a very bad feeling in my stomach after eating rice with daal makaani and malai kofta! Such a horrible place.

Yesterday we had a Holi event of around 200 people at Chauhan s grill and banquet hall and had the bestest experience of life- From the price to the food everything was excellent. He served non stop buffet without any interruption and waiting. His Saag meat , Tandoori chicken and butter chicken were out of the world and even vegetarian and Chinese dishes were mouth watering. The guests went home happy and contended and had praises for Amar Chauhan since he served hot and sufficient food. Good job Amar Chauhan ji. We are an organization and throw parties from time to time. We have now decided to give our business only to Chauhan ji in future. Only he can give you the reasonable deal with so much food.

Very average at best. It s a has been.

We ordered food for Birthday party. The foods were delivered on time. Foods were delicious.

Waiter refused to give me a glass. Gave me a plate of appetizers with 1 piece of fish and a singular spring roll and didn t want to give me anymore appetizers. Food was way too salty and oily and tasted off. And the waiter took my food before I was done. The service and food was bad. I would rate it a 0.2 out of 10. ( the lowest I can rate is a 1 star) It does not deserve a 1 star.

I walkin ordered Hydrabadi Chicken Dum biryani for the first time and it tasted nothing no salt no smell of that dum buryani it felt like having just boiled rice with turmeric and with so much oil and chicken pieces also tasted the same . Really disappointed wont recommend at all ! I will say its not good according to the price $18 ! I have had a better chicken biryani in $13. $18 wasted !

We hosted our kids birthday party in Chauhan s and would highly recommend the place . The banquet hall , food , arrangement , hospitality all were amazing . The owner Amar ji was very approachable and took care of everything . Our guests enjoyed the starters, main course dinner and could not stop praising the quality and taste of every item . Vegetarian options: There weee a lot of vegetarian option and food was tasty. Parking: There was enough parking space .

Good clean place to eat

Very bad service, spoil my friends function. Don t do instead do it in Chauhan s .

Very very bad. I will not recommend. Staying starving is better than eat here.

Have had small cultural functions here, service and food is great value for the price. Have booked here twice now for two family events and would definitely come back.

I ordered food from them Goat Biryani they sent me smelling food They sent me spoiled rotten food PLEASE AVOID THIS AT ANY COST IF YOU LOVE YOUR HEALTH Food

We held my dads 75th birthday party at their venue. Their team was fantastic at making sure everything ran smoothly for us. From the point of conception, the owner was amazing at working with me to ensure the menu and everything was to our liking. My wife is severely allergic to tree nuts, and they worked to ensure that absolutely none of the dishes we ordered had nuts in them. Very accommodating. I highly recommend Chauhans for your future events

Great place and management. Highly recommended for events Food

I went there recently and the chicken in butter chicken had gone bad.

Food was horrible

Tried calling for banquet hall and received a very vague response from Amar. As if he was uninterested in renting out the banquet hall.

This cuisines food is ok here. We, as a family, expected nice and quantity of the meal but were disappointed because the price is quite high and the food portions are extremely small.

We hosted 25th wedding anniversary at Chauhan. Our menu was Arabic menu and the food was just succulent. So juicy and delicious food. They kept adding more food to ensure it s always full. Love the venue. Mr. Chauhan is a great owner and Chef and excellent customer service. Recommend hosting events here.

Veg thali not worth $17 Food flies everywhere sitting on food especially buffet area. Food

Awesome place to dine and throw a party

Good food. Excellent service

These little words describe it. Chauhans food is made by its owner with great enthusiasm. He takes pride in his menu. Always a good cook, and my kids love the food. Keep up

Economical place to arrange a small event with good food and service. Facility needs some upgrades.

Nice place for perfect parties

We went for a team lunch the buffet options were not much, for a large group they hardly refilled the food, the food was average. I would not go here again.

Im sharing this story to prevent others from facing disappointment at their events. The owner initially promised to book a larger hall for our baby shower on November 26th. However, a week before the event, my husband was told it was booked for the 25th while 26th November is booked for someone else. The owner thought it was our fault so, he provided a smaller hall for the 26th. When confronted with evidence showing the date of 26th November, he apologized but made minimal efforts to rectify the situation, offering only a free appetizer. Disappointingly, the owner failed to deliver on additional promises, neglecting to provide the stage he assured us of and ignoring our calls on the event day. Please see attached photo what he provided The food we selected, including a cheek peace salad, was not provided, leaving me disheartened and without an appetite on the day. Adding to the ordeal, the owner inconvenienced us by demanding payment at 2 pm before the function had concluded, expressing a desire to leave for home.

Little too spicy for me, but good all the same

We host our annual dinner Every year. the food served is arguable the best in GTA. Impeccable and polite service.

Excellent service and staff is Good too

Friendly staff

Attended YRCA award night and the food was amazing along with ambience.

The best tasting Indian food Ive had anywhere.

Very good taste and price is good too

Its decent banquet hall, nothing special. Serving staff is alright. We had an event last week, overall experience was average. Food could have been much better. Many of the punjabi curry made from pizza sauce, you can literally taste and smell pizza sauce. They should give same quality food at event as they give at food tasting.

Five star for food as they are operating with only one server not blaming to server, but service are slow, so take your own time and visit, authentic taste with less oil, , it seems their actual business is banquet hall, restaurant is kind of side business,

Surprising discovery .. true India style curries

I ve been coming here with my family since I was a kid likely as early as 1998-99. The high-quality of food has remained the same along with the menu. Mr.Chauhan is one of the few owners I ve seen who goes around and takes time to greet a few of his tables and guests even when it s busy. It s always been such a pleasure coming to eat at this place. It s one of the original jewels in Markham for Indian cuisine. Thank you for helping us celebrate our moments.

What can i say about this restaurant one of the best in the business In case of food catering and especially for the banquet parties Thanks Chahuan sir

A nice Indian banquet hall, authentic Indian cuisine, samosa, chana masala, boneless curry lamb & Chicken, tandoori chicken and naan, with gulab jamun & mango ice cream for dessert.

Great food and staff were so polite and welcoming

We had the chicken lababdar and it s the best I have ever eaten ! Great ambience and yummy food . Highly recommend this place

Food is average..

Enjoyed my time in engagment party

Very average food and poor ambience.

Place is good but arrangements and service is not good as per requested

Bad service, no bar service at event, owner refused to rearrange tables stating hes not a servant. Very unprofessional

Went there for a event recently. Terrible service, dirty bathrooms, lack of staff etc. We asked for extra glasses and napkins on our table as there were only three on a table of 8. Was told my the waitress, the owner said no. I was very confused. Had never heard that from a dining establishment before. Save your money, and book your events somewhere else. Your guests will thank you.

Place has not changed in over 20 years, located in a industrial area, location is easy to get to. however the food has lost taste and passion as it once use to have. place is clean for sure. however staff is utterily useless and dont know how to interact or even think ahead of what to do. instead they are watching all the guests and are recactive instead of proactive.

Food was ok. Ambiance and decor need a lot of work. Bar tenders had absolutely no idea how to make or serve a drink. I had to tell them how to make a rye and coke!

I recently had my sons wedding and lunch at Chauhans Banquet Hall and wanted to post a review to say how happy I was with the entire experience. From the arrangements at the hall to the service and the excellent food served everything went very smoothly and pleasantly. I definitely recommend Chauhans venue and food to host an important event or function.

Food was not tasty at all

We hosted a party at the banquet. Food was awesome, everyone loved it. However below were our additional observations: -Extremely poor service -No food re-heating mechanism -Strict timeline for food service(1 hour snacks > MANDATORY 1 HOUR GAP > 1 hour main course) -Extremely poor service for non-alcoholic beverages -Owner is rude and cunning (he will try his best to charge you extra or cut down on service) -Owner accepted that they DO NOT use the same ingredients for dine in and delivery. Hence, if you plan to get the food delivered ( claimed to be the best indian food), you may not get what you re looking for. P.S. I gave 3 stars because I was one of the lucky person in my party who had an opportunity to taste the warm food when it arrived (not everyone was lucky as me). I understand that there are bad and good days for everyone. Please see other reviews to know more about the food, service and owner personality.

Tastiest Indian cuisine with reasonable prices

Great

We booked this place in advance for our event and we came to know that he gave the hall to different person just because they had more guests.He didn t even have courtesy to inform about it and we came to know just 2 days before. Such a greedy person, no ethics and mismanagement.went there to get our deposit and he made us wait for 30mins. I strongly suggest everyone not to go to this place if you want your event to be successful. Worst customer service and management.

Attended a friends birthday party at Chauhans. Must say the food was just superb and delicious. The smiling courteous staff was on toes with continous service and help. The location is very nice with ample of parking. A place to visit again.

I hosted a birthday party. Pros: Food taste was good. Was Lucky to have good servers. Cons: too many. Appetizers I told to do a refill but they didnt and I felt embarrassed when guests couldnt find and I had to request 2 plate. They kept saying boss told snacks time is over. Second when dinner was served and food was over , they kept filling the curry without mutton. By 10 pm they started taking off the dining table cloths when guests were still seated and having food. Please sir I dont want to list more but if we pay we expect good service. All the best.

Amazing little banquet with really good food and the wedding that I attented was absolute fun! Parking: There is like 20 parking spots

Hosted a Diwali Party there for our community - around 100 people. The food was terrible, the paneer was mostly liquid and had a layer of oil on top, the naan looked like it was store bought, and the tea tasted burnt (how is that possible?) To top it off the owner didn t want any feedback, even though we weren t asking for any compensation he just didn t care to listen. Terrible experience, I would never go back.

Attended a party here a few weeks ago. Adequate service/atmosphere. Food was absolutely terrible. Food was SUPER oily and watered down and had no flavour. People barely ate. You could see the oil floating at the top. Drinks were just ice. Some plates/cups and utensils were also dirty.

The place is really beautiful, the service, the food is excellent the banquet hall is really a great option to do parties, staff is really cooperative.. Vegetarian options: There are lots of vegetarian options available Parking: Parking is easily available

The place is beautiful, service is good, the food is delicious, the place has a friendly environment . I will recommend this place to everyone Parking: Parking is easily available

We came for an engagement party a few weeks ago and the food was trash. Stale naan, weird ingredients in the sabji. It must have also been cold outside because the person bringing out the food was wearing her jacket you know, the same one she would wear outside. Not sure if that is food safe or legal. Stay away!!

Vegetarian options: All vegetarian dishes are excellent and fresh Dietary restrictions: All is good Parking: Large parking lot Kid-friendliness: The management and staff of the restaurant are very patient and kind with children

Mostly take out. Or you can book a party in 1 of the 2 party rooms.

The food was amazing

The owner is extremely rude. Does not show any respect to staff or the host, especially if you are holding a big event. I hosted a birthday party, although he did accommodate us in the big hall, he was very rude whenever we spoke to him about anything or showed concerns. The food overall is good but service could be much better. No take out was allowed for guests who couldn t have dinner at the party because they had to leave early. I saw him shouting and yelling all the times. He was also rude to my father who was one of the guests. I would not be comfortable hosting my event ever again here.Not an easy person to talk to. This place needs professionalism and learn how to deal with customers, just providing a space and food is not sufficient.

You guys are amazing

Great food and service..i really love it

Excellent food in budget, must try everyone

By trusting reviews I went to this location ,not only I wasted my money I wasted my time energy and health. As per my order they prepared fresh samosa which was made by rotten potatoes. Will never recommend anyone.

Good food and very affordable price for large gatherings and parties.

Best budget banquet hall in Markham.

We have had many events held in this banquet hall. We were really well taken care of. Owner and staff are very nice and food is really good too.

Good food!

Most Polite and Friendly Staff. Food Quality and Taste 5/5

If i had an option for zero starts, i d rather choose that. Placed and order over the phone yesterday and the person told us it would be a 35 mins wait time, that s when we reached the location. There were 4-5 people at the same time waiting for their orders and there was an old guy at the reception who was going back and forth between the kitchen and counter to answer customers as he was unaware of almost everything. Upon waiting for a few mins, got the order after 1 hour and the guy who came in told me the total, i asked for receipt and he said it will be extra $15 for the RECEIPT. CAN ANYONE BELIEVE THIS? I wanted to argue but i was so tired after work and had people waiting at home for the food, so me and my friend decided to leave it there. Horrible experience and also, one of our order was chilli chicken, when i tell you it was nowhere near that, believe me. It was black in colour and didn t even taste like chicken, wouldn t eat it for free. Don t visit this location if you want similar experience.

Mr. Chauhan and Palash s service was excellent. We placed order at the closing time, and they took the order and prepared it so well. They even generously gave complementary Naans. Chicken soup, Tandoori chicken and chicken fried rice were excellent

This is the best place to get top food thanks

Chauhan catered for Diwali party at our home. Food was abundant in quantity. Food quality was par excellence in taste and aroma. Everyone enjoyed the food. Thanks Amar.

Recently we had a function for over 130 people. Food was not good at all and service was horrible. overall this place is not acceptable and will never go back. dont recommend.

L

Very nice place & food

Horrible Food. Zero star

One of the best experiences Ive had at an event. The staff was great, anything you wanted they would ensure you got it. Very friendly and hardworking. Amar Chauhan the owner was great, as he ensured that everything we wanted and he promised we got. Food was great! with dessert right after. Delicious tasting food, and I can see why people choose Chauhan Banquet halls for any time of occasion. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Beautiful hall, with great lighting.

Not happy with quality of food during lunch

Decent hall for small functions

Excellent food and customer service.Highly recommended for family events as their banquet hall is ideal to hold such events.

It s a very nice place to have any ocation at any time always welcoming people

We always do take-out from here. Great food!

Tasty food

Quality of food is hit or miss. Last years Christmas party, food was much better than this year. This year the butter chicken was awful. Super disappointing!

Value for Money

Good place to have family time along with buffet. Little less price than near by restaurant. Full paisa vasul.

Ordered from UberEats: Chicken Dilliwala with nan + another nan bread. Chicken was okay but nan bread was burnt and chewy...The latter made it a bad experience with this restaurant as the bread had to be thrown away.

Service was non-existent. For an indian restaurant the food was bland and over priced. Better to go to a more authentic place down the street.

Nice food loved it

Awesome food

Incredible food!!! Wait is a little long but so worth it for the delicious food

Good Indian buffet at reasonable prices.

Ok ok

Excellent .... Authenticated Punjabi food

attended family event there. food was okay. place is huge though.

Worst Food ever, Plus customer service is unsatisfactory, The guy who stands there is after money and nothing else. He should learn some customer service skills would not recommend it to anyone.

Great food..

Went for a wedding reception at the banquet hall. Food was sub-par, ambience was meh, nothing impressive to boast about. I wouldnt voluntarily go there again.

Food isnt up to the mark, staff can be rude occasionally.

Good tasty food, lovely ambience, pleasant staff. You really feel like eating here.

Love the place. Great food and service. Special mention to Palash, the manager. He helped us pick some really tasty dishes. Compared to so many other Indian restaurants in the vicinity, this place has really got some good choice. Must try....
