I have been trying their food often and their Curries are way too spicy. Plus the team although is amicable but very slow. Just a feedback please improve your service and also the curry need to be mild. Its way too spicy and not eatable. 2 times was not able to eat. Food is a blessing please make it so that one can eat it.

I got a veg thali with shahi paneer (tasted more like ghee with the feeling of matar paneer - did not look or taste “shahi” aka creamy), the dal makhani and kadhi were alright but everything just tasted like desi ghee rather than the flavor of dishes themselves. If you’re not a fan of ghee - would not recommend, otherwise the “curries” lacked flavor. Garlic Naan was cooked perfectly though, i would recommend that!

Warm greeting and welcome. Great staff with an excellent service and sweet smile. I live 1 hour drive from them but whenever I am in that area I always buy warm food for $50. I am only giving them 5-star rate but if I could I would give them 10 stars. Your food is delicious and the place is very clean. God Bless You All!

Very traditional basic Indian restaurant. We loved the Aloo puri as well as the Chole bhatura. Don’t expect anything boujee. Moderate price, moderate place.

Visited there for multiple times during summer vacation in Oakville, ON Canada. 90% of our visits were delightful. Food was so good and felt as homemade! We loved 2 veg combo that comes with 2 sides to choose from options available for the day (10+) along with choice of bread (poori, naan, thanthoori roti) or rice. This was best and breads were made fresh and served hot 👌❤️. You get some salad and curd along with sides. The reason I want to give 3 or 4 star rating is that one of the visits, the salad served was spoiled one - it tasted rotten! But the rest of the food on that day was fresh! My recommendation is to go with 2 veg meals option than 1 veg meal as it’s just a dollar difference. We tried many sides so far and all tasted yummy 😋. I recommend this place with a cation. We never stopped going there as food was amazing!

The vegetarian eatery we recently ventured into surpassed all our anticipations. Our taste buds were treated to an array of delightful dishes, ranging from aloo paratha to mooli paratha to samosas all of which were truly outstanding. Despite the outstanding food quality and inviting ambiance, the restaurant curiously lacked the bustling crowds one might expect. Nonetheless, we were thoroughly impressed by the warm atmosphere and impeccable service. I wholeheartedly grant it a five-star rating.

We tried Chana bhatura and samosas and chai. Good for the price you pay. Clean place and not crowded at all during weekdays. The Mithai sections looks delicious too. Tuesdays is makki di roti and saag special.

We stopped here tonight at 614pm to pick up some of their famous Samosas on our way back from Whitby. We ended up getting the Garlic Naan as well as the Samosas. Staff said it would take 20 minutes. We decided to walk to the nearby Tim Hortons/Wendy's to pass the time and have a coffee/use the washroom. Toddler travel. :) Went back to pickup the order and everything was amazing. Everything was hot and fresh. The staff is great! We will be back on another road trip.

Unfortunately what used to be my favorite Indian food restaurant has now become one that I will not go back to... Which I am very saddened by.... I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went back four times after my first negative experience. They changed the recipes for basically everything everything is way saltier some things are much spicier sometimes (if it was just spicier always it would not be a problem but if you dont know what youre going to get its an issue) .and not other times we ordered online and the order that we received was completely wrong. We were missing a large Shahi paneer and a large veggie of the day in return what we got was a small container of some sort of thing that was tomato and mushrooms. And the carrot is just completely different

The restaurant is outdated, with worn out tables and chairs. The staff try to come across as friendly, but their approach is pushy, they dont allow you time to look through the menu before insisting you to place your order. We had the buffet, the food quality is sub-standard, not very tasty or fresh. Heard hacking, coughing and sneezing sounds coming from the kitchen, so we stopped eating our meal mid-way, and left. A couple of us were sick later that day! Requires a lot of improvement, we wont be visiting again!

The place is quiet and peaceful but the food quality is bad. Breads/ roti was good. Few things were gone bad. Suggestion is to keep less items but fresh and good taste. To keep up to buffet standards they have kept a lot of things but may be can t maintain due to less in flow of people coming in.

The food was served cold and soggy. Staff is rude esp the head girl, she gives you arrogant faces and they don t have experience or knowledge about their pricing and regulations. In the buffet, very few items are available and rest other are chargeable separately. The charge dine in extra charge, without informing the customer beforehand and then they fight for $2. It was my worst experience and wouldn t ever come again here.

I am no longer supporting this restaurant. The quality of food is poor! I have noticed a progressive decline in their quality of foods. Years ago this was my go to place to buy vegetarian Indian food but not anymore. The vegetarian dishes, especially the aloo jeera is bland and the potatoes are not boiled properly, it s on the harder side. The naan was also too burnt, I am shocked that the staff thought it was okay to give a customer this.

Not supporting this restaurant after getting brutal customer service and disrespect. Being to this place earlier as well never got a good customer service. We decided to go there again on Saturday, we had worst experience on Saturday, As soon as we entered we ask employee that we are here for dine in. With a fraction of second she started asking what u want to order for dine. No welcome or manner to greet guest. I really felt so bad we both decide to walk out of this place. I believe the owner of this place don t care about anything. Owner needs to train their employee and teach them how to deal with customer. Will not be going to this place anymore. Stay away if you feel you need a good customer service. Only go if you don t care about customer service

Very stupid rules in this restaurant. My family wanted a buffet and I wanted al-a-carte item which was not in buffet, but they said all of us have to eat buffet if one family member is eating buffet. What is this rule ? If I am paying for a food I deserve to eat what I like. This rule should have been ok if I was not ordering anything and was trying to share buffet with my family. But when I am ordering a food for myself as well, it doesn t make sense to put restriction. Either make this restaurant Buffet Only or Make alacarte only. If it is a mix type of restaurant then people will order mix type of order in a family. It is not necessary that all members in a family would like to eat the same food. Never coming back here

Chole bhature were yummy.. tasted just like the ones I used to have at my school canteen. Definitely going back to have it again.. All you can eat buffet sounds good too.. I have not tried it yet. They have gol gappas and bhelpuri.. so if you are in the area do check this place out!

Now, I understood why their ratings are dropping. First, bad quality food. We ordered Kachori and it was as hard as a stone. I had to call the store personnel and ask them to break it without using hammer, it was that hard. And then she says that, It s not my problem. I will get you another one. . I asked, Will that be hard too? . And she says, I don t know. I don t make it. What kind of responses are these? No politeness and customer service is completely out of the window.

December 22, 2023

Ordered chole bhatura for family and when I came home to open they gave only naan not bhatura in half pieces. Worst part not that they cut the naan in half pieces but it was burnt also. Called them back and they hung up the phone when I spoke with young girl who answered the call. Not sure how they stay in business as they never used to do this. Replaced naan for bhatura and cut in half saying it s two full? Charge quite a lot for small portion too. Won t be going back again!

From the moment I walked in,The decor was charming and gave off a cozy vibe, making it a great spot for a casual meal with friends or and family. The menu offered a diverse range of vegetarian dishes, making it easy to find something to suit everyones tastes. My son and my self decided to try their thali and was not disappointed. The flavors were well balanced and the ingredients were fresh and naan was vey crispy. My particularly appreciated how the kulcha was presented with an eye for detail and thoughtfulness. The service was excellent, with the wait staff being friendly and attentive. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. First time my son finished full thali I was happy as he picked 3 different dishes in thali and he like all of them and finished Overall, I highly recommend this vegetarian restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious, affordable and enjoyable dining experience.

I was craving for Chana samosa and we got their at 8.55pm (Five minutes before it was about to close). But, they still prepared my order. Really nice of them. The food was hot and fresh and I loved my Chana samosa. Oh and there were 2 samosas and enough chana masala, enough for 2 people to share. It was mild, not spicy, perfect. Could use a little more garnish. Overall, it was worth going again.

Tried the buffet....in the vain hopes of enjoying a decent Indian meal. Unfortunately, it didnt turn out to be the kind of food I was expecting. Standard of cooking was hapless and disappointing. Do not recommend. The sweet section is average, I have tried their kalakand and besan burfi -- Id rate both 6/10. This outlet apparently sells a lot of samosas. I guess that tells me as a newcomer to Canada from the land of samosas ie Delhi (India), any crew who can make half decent samosas in Oakville will rake in a lot of money.

December 22, 2023

Never try Aloo tikki chat , simply a waste of money and just one word , pathetic. Gave the feedback to the store but they were not ready to accept and take corrective measures, so have to review it publicly to save other peoples time and money. The other time i tried bread pakoras, that too were half cooked. Before that, tried chole bhature, but the chole were tasteless with just the flavour of red chilli. All in all, been there few times in a hope that they would do better and they have disappointed me every time

I recently dined at this place and while the food was delicious, I was disappointed by the lack of customer service.

We used to love going to A1 for our vegetarian Punjabi food fixes but now we are afraid to go there. We were up-charged once for a dish (double charged). So we asked to look at the itemized bill the next time and the cashier was really rude to us. Also they by default packed our food for to-go whereas we went to dine in and sat on the table waiting for our food. When we mentioned we were waiting for the food on the table, she said you didnt say you were going to dine in and started arguing with us blaming us not to be specific. We were intimidated because she was loud and annoyed but nonetheless we opened our To-Go boxes and started eating there. The server (a Sikh young man) was really nice and brought us water and apologized but by the time the bhaturas and paranthas were not crispy. The very reason we never do take out is to get fresh and crispy food, straight from the kitchen and not to waste the environment with plastics was defeated and we came back with an awful experience. Sad to say that this behavior has repeated twice and although their food is decent we dont feel welcome there and they have just lost a loyal customer of 4 years. Vegetarian options: All vegetarian but nothing vegan.

I recently had the opportunity to dine at this Indian Restaurant, and I must say that the experience left a lot to be desired. The quality was far from satisfactory. The dishes lacked the authentic flavors and freshness that one would expect from an Indian restaurant. The flavors were bland, as if the spices had been sparingly used or not at all. It was evident that shortcuts were taken in the preparation, resulting in a lackluster dining experience. Moreover, the portion sizes were disappointingly small for the price charged for Thali. It looks more in the photo but not more than 2 small spoons of servings were there. We left the restaurant feeling unsatisfied and still hungry. In addition to these shortcomings, the prices were exorbitant for the subpar quality of food and service received. We expected better value for our money, but unfortunately, it was an underwhelming experience that did not justify the high prices. Not coming again and will not recommend to anyone.

Food is alright. Really pricy for the ambience. They charge like a fine dine but are not. Food is 3.5/5. If you are looking for a quality comfortable place to dine and spend a few hours, you won t find it here. The place needs serious renovations and the people (specifically the lady in her 30s) at the counter need to learn to be polite. Their unnecessary attitude is not helping the place.

MUST AVOID food here,service is poor as they don t care about taste and quality .They are serving stale food which will cause food poisoning as I started puking after hour of eating buffet here. I complained to miss gurveen twice that rice have bad smell as they are very old but she didn t replaced it and even it doesn t matter to them. She said okey we will see. They are giving 5% discount on cash which is another way to scam government.

Nice array of vegetarian options. Love the Thali to go. The sweets are delicious.

Overall the food was not good. Samosas in particular were very stale, and had a really bad aftertaste like they were cooked in old and dirty oil. I expected better as it was pretty expensive per samosa. There also wasnt enough chuntni with the food. Gulaab jaaman also missed the mark. Overall service was also very poor. Will not be coming back.

Absolutely horrible staff and mediocre food! Avoid at all costs! We came here for dine-in at 7:30 PM and after standing in a line for 25 minutes we were randomly told that dine-in is closed. Theres no signage mentioning this anywhere at the restaurant or on their website. Their staff is extremely rude and the restaurants atmosphere is chaotic. Floors were unclean and sticky The buffet food looks stale and is probably reheated for multiple days at a stretch. Not recommended at all.

This has become a terrible restaurant, I used to be a regular customer but food is now low quality and stale. Moreover staff is extremely rude. How can you say tea is not available in the evening, it was just 7. They really need to move up their customer service in order to stay in the business.

Went for a lunch buffet. Plates were not clean, neither were any utensils. When we asked staff for clean utensils they rudely told us to search for clean ones and leave the dirty ones to the side. One man ended up giving us plastic utensils as they were too lazy to clean anything. Food was also extremely greasy and I m aware Indian food contains oil

I have been a regular at A1. We usually take the thali with 3 curries and naan. But, last weekend, we tried their all-you-can-eat buffet. We were left very disappointed at the spread, value, and quality of the food. My partner and I tried every item on the buffet and only liked the puri and.......thats it! We used to like their achari paneer and mixed veg curries. I am not sure what happened, these items were not the same anymore. The potato filling in the samosa had absolutely no seasoning. The chana salad for panipuri was clearly not freshly made and smelled a bit off. The paneer Biryani had more red food coloring than seasoning of any kind. The achari paneer had very little achaar, so the gravy tasted pretty bland. The Gulab Jamun was extremely flaky and was not even cooked properly before introducing to the syrup. I could go on, but I think the point is made. I guess there were all the ingredients in place but were terribly put together. In hindsight, this deterioration has been several months in the making. Its a shame I saw one of my favorite places in Oakville progressively get worse to this point. Unfortunately, I would not be visiting A1 again.

I really had a bad experience whenever I go there I got Channa bhatura when I visited for the first time bhatura was extremely greasy and was stale The other time I thought to try something new . I ordered samosa chaat and chat papri samosa chaat was ok But the chaat was so horrible .they literally added dry and stale bhalle in it would never recommend anyone about this restaurant.

I don t want to give a single star as there was not any option for the -0. I ordered a thali and pav bhaji today, after waiting 10-15 minutes they said you can take your thali now. Few minutes more a guy came to us and said they don t have pav so we have to re order, excuse me? You guys gave us suggestion? That I can go for another thing if don t want to? And I said I need a re fund , there was no response. When we were done with our thali, went to the girl then she said she will refund us. No apologies? Nothing. Totally unprofessional people working there. They wasted our time today.

A1 has an okay rating from me. The staff was extremely nice but the facility needs to have cleaner washroom and space to put the garbage can. It was so close to the washbasin that one will have to squeeze their way to wash hands. Dishes were stained . It could be clean but there were stains. I hope they make some positive changes in the facility. 5 star rating to the staff .....

We had been here earlier as well and did not like the food we got packed for home. However a couple of weeks back, we had another takeout dinner from here for the lack of options but that turned out to be very very good. So today we decided to give it another try and I must say that the experience today made us believe that the first time would have been a not so good day for me and them. The staff was very nice in behaviour and the additional sweetness by talking in Punjabi was to die for. The food I must say was awesome. We had 2 thalis and a chana bhatura. If their price makes you worried about the quantity, take my word for it that if will be sufficient. They give you a true value for your money and the bonus is the staff behaviour. Full marks from me.

You guys have to go for Malai kulfi. Yes its expensive but its oakville and I couldnt find the Malai kulfi anywhere that they got in the little pots. The second thing I get from here is amritsari kulcha. Really good food but the ambience is not as welcoming. Its good enough if you just need a place to sit and eat quickly but not a place to bring a date or for celebrations

Weird customer service and the quality of the food is not up to the mark . I think they should compare their taste with other restaurants . I tried samosa and chapati both things taste ridiculous . And even gulab jamun taste like they are dipped in murabba water.

I dont say anything bad about food because we all work for that.. you guys dont even know what you re selling and charging people like you re marvellous in every terms. The whole universe is not selling paneer pakora for 14.99 but you. Frozen items and tons of canned food you guys use. I honestly very disappointed with that in this hard time innocent people hardly makes the money and you overcharge them. You should learn how to make food dont sell puree and readymade material. If you wanna taste the food come to brampton here plenty of options with good quantity and reasonable price. You guys are just taking advantage of the oakville people bcoz they ve no other option..
