I love this northern Indian cuisine. The butter chicken and gatlic bread was spectacular in this restaurant .The samosas are beyond belief delicious, and the sauces. This is best Indian restaurant in Orillia , highly recommended

They have the best samosas nearby Barrie area. And the best paneer pakoda i ever tasted in Canada in last three years. Blend of spices is just to the point. I loved their food. Must try!!!

I’ve had food from here twice now and was left a bit unimpressed both times. It’s quite pricey for what you get. My main complaint though is it lacks flavour. I asked for both the Chana Masala and the Chicken Vindaloo to be hot (the vindaloo should be hot regardless) and neither of them were. The vindaloo was hardly spicy at all and had next to no chicken, all potatoes. For the price they charge I’d expect much better food. I’d be willing to try again if the quality improved so I’ll wait to see what other reviewers say in the future.

Rented trucks from them before. Every truck we've had was clean and in good working order and the staff were always helpful. My dad usually ordered food for his co-workers from them and ordered lots. Convenient location for all of us, for food for my dad and trucks for me and my brother. Great place, and right around the corner from me. I'd definitely recommend them for a U-Haul on my end. They even will let you park your car if you're doing a local same-day rental

Food was fresh and so good! I had to drive half an hour home with it and it was still hot. Owner was happy to make my order on the mild side and it had the perfect level of spice for me. Will definitely be back.

Contrary to a couple of bad reviews, this place is really excellent hidden gem. But there’s some things you should know/pro tips 1. Take out only! 2. Call way ahead; they often are scheduling pickup 1-2 hours out 3. Ask for extra chicken in the butter chicken or it’s mostly sauce. 4. They sometimes take the phone off the hook if they’re busy. So constant busy signal just means that they’re too busy to take more orders. Restaurants are a tough business. Be nice, enjoy the food.

Absolutely the best Indian Restaurant in Simcoe. I ve tried almost every other restaurant and the taste, freshness and authenticity of this food is a home run. The chicken dishes, vegetarian dishes and naan - fantastic! Hats off to the cook! I wish they opened in Barrie and would love to see them closer to our home!! Orillia we envy you!

I have ordered multiple times and I have had great food and awesome service everytime. I thank the staff for delicious food. I try to order something different everytime, but have always gotten the vegetable biryani as it goes well with all of their currys. Delicious samosa, yummy butter chicken, every paneer dish I have had is out of this world. I get medium spice and it is the perfect level of heat! Thank you 5 Rivers!

Love their Samosas and Paneer Korma. Every time Im in Orillia I make sure to order some food from them.

This isnt a dining restaurant its pick-up only, so I didnt get to eat. The wait time if I had ordered when I got there thinking I could eat in was about 2 hours. No one wants to wait that long for a meal. So Im not giving a star. However, the guy i spoke with did seem friendly ,

December 22, 2023

Food may be great I don t know but it s properly closed for dining and it should be updated on the site I believe. Some travellers do take exit and go in the hope for food and I felt little unwelcome if you are not updating news about your place regularly sorry

Great hidden gem in Orillia for delicious and flavourful Indian food. The goat biryani is delicious and staple dishes like palak paneer, butter chicken and chana masala are done well. Portions will last 2-3 meals so worth the price. Definitely call ahead as it can take up to an hour for the order to be ready, but its worth it! Vegetarian options: Plenty of options on their menu

Some of the best Indian food Weve had! My partner and I live in Toronto near Little India, have tried countless restaurants and this one puts many of them to shame. We are vegetarian and ordered the Palak Paneer - not made with any cream, but a very nice silk-y texture - Shahi Paneer - Similar to a Paneer Makhani/ Butter Chicken type sauce, a little less sweet but more complex spice blend - and the Vegetarian Mutton - A loose-er onion gravy, with nice chunks of Soy Protein with a Chicken-like texture. Also got Basmati rice, regular Naan bread and Garlic Naan, both heated up nice in our hotel microwave and were nice and chewy. Placed our order the day before, the people there were very friendly and it was made right on time to pick up on new years eve...made our night :) Will be sure to come back next time we are in the Orillia area!

The BEST Indian in Orillia (and Barrie). I recently moved to Orillia from Barrie and have already order a handful of times from 5 Rivers. Their customer service is excellent! The FOOD just incredible, true Indian spices and flavour. I lived in Barrie for years and 5 Rivers surpasses any Indian Restaurant I have ordered from. The owner is very friendly and personable. I especially enjoy their size options (medium and large) as my experience in the past with other Indian restaurants is that there is only one size and then you end up with too many left overs. The medium size is a perfect amount and allows us to enjoy more than one dish while staying in our take out budget. Highly recommend!

I ordered: - chicken vindaloo - aloo gobi - paneer masala - naan - rice Placed my order on Sunday just after noon and it was ready at 1:00pm. Dealt with Baljeep who was very helpful and nice. Although the restaurant is closed for indoor dining it was very clean. The food was delicious! Ive had these dishes from a handful of Indian restaurants and these were at the top of the list. Very flavourful, just the right amount of heat (Baljeep asked how hot I wanted it), the bread was fresh and the rice was cooked perfectly. The paneer masala had tons of paneer in it and the consistency was great. The vindaloo was a little liquidy for my liking but the taste was there. The chicken was tender, not overcooked. And the best part, I got THREE meals out of it!!! (k, not the best part obviously but a great bonus). I highly recommend 5 Rivers and I cannot wait to go back and try more. Thank you Baljeep!

During unstaffed hours, it is done through the uhaul app. The app would not work and the owner happened to still be there. They went above and beyond and stayed to help us get our order.

The only down side is they don t deliver and only use the delivery service which is extremely unreliable, they have forgotten to pick up our order and also picked up the wrong order (well still charging us) and they refused to do anything to fix the situation. Otherwise 5 rivers is BOMB. Highly recommend this restaurant.

These guys have done a great job renovating and making sure the quality of the product is where it needs to be. I particularly love the Goat curry and their pakoras (all types). The spice level is exactly what I expect when I ask for medium or hot. I really enjoy the dishware used when the food is served dine-in but takeout holds up at home just as well since we cant eat in right now.

All the 5 star reviews you seeing are all from friends and family or bought. Firstly, the person attending to us was arrogant and when we said the meat was not cooked he rudely told us that that s how it s cooked as if we haven t ever eaten meat before. Secondly, the food is nooooooooooo where close to what Indian cuisine tastes like. It s too tomatoey & has a lot of turmeric. It s a disgrace calling it and serving us this good in the name of Indian cuisine. The goat biryani was nothing like a biryani I was sooooo disappointed... It s not all negative for how the place is kept. It s clean and maintained well but what s the point of having such a spotless place that serves terrible food...never going to come again nor suggest this place.

Ive tried all kinds of Indian restaurants out and hands down these guys give you a great deal for a heaping portion of scrumptious spicy food. ( I do ask for it extra spicy, but who goes to an Indian restaurant looking for bland?) Highly recommend!

By far the best tikka masala I ve ever had. Can t wait to try the rest of the menu. For those in the area who aren t aware, this restaurant is under new management and extensive Renos have been done. Sorry to say, but the place before it was an absolute dump you wouldn t catch me dead in. This place is an absolute treasure though! They have done an amazing job with the place and the food is incredible. I highly recommend (message to the owner, my real name is Phil and we met today for the first time of many)

Tried Five Rivers for the first time yesterday and were totally impressed. Highly recommend the Karahi Paneer and Shrimp Masala. So flavorful and just the right amount of heat (we asked for medium & medium+). The vegetable samosas were also a tasty treat. Dont skip the Naan, its delicious. Well definitely return!

Absolute best Indian food I ve ever had. My husband and I just moved out of the area and we miss 5 Rivers so much (we drove an hour out of the way multiple times to get it when staying at our cottage). It was our go-to takeout restaurant for many months. Fantastic food, wonderful service and great prices. I would highly recommend anyone passing through or living in the area give it a try.

Ordered food couple of times when we went to Orrilia on a Family trip. It was so good. Honestly, we two Indian families were not expecting much with an Indian restaurant in Orrilia but god we were surprised. Seekh kebab, chicken Tikka, chicken curry, paneer, alu parantha all were so good( not as spicy as we would have liked,but still good) Their Tea is a must must have. So refreshing. All in all, very happy with the quality, taste and quantity of food. Owner was very humble and nice.

This place is the best! Used to live in Brampton and have been to many places in the GTA for Indian cuisine, and this place tops them all. Recently I moved up to the north bay area and theres nowhere that has any authentic or enjoyable food when Im craving Indian. Now when Im going south to see friends or family its becoming a tradition to bring some 5 rivers home with me, and its always such a treat. When I call theyre very patient and helpful with my ordering, and the dishes are always the best quality. I especially love the paneer masala, its like art how beautiful and creamy the gravy is. Honestly, if youre looking for Indian food do yourself a favour and try this restaurant, I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

Best home-made Indian Food!!! Freshness 5/5, Quality/Taste -5/5, Service 5/5. We were staying at a resort 35 minutes away and specially drove to have meal here most of the times... esp. for Mom like Tawa Roti and delicious Dal Makhni which we ended up ordering for take out aswell. They have rare find dishes like Arbi, Karele too. Family owned cozy place with home like dinning taste. Loved it.

This place surprised me to another level. I wont brag about food, as its beyond explanation and a review wont justify the quality and taste of food. What moved my heart is about this place - Extremely clean like mirror shine, amazing staff - but hey actually there is no staff. Its a family running restaurant and they all are participating in running. Mom-dad are the chef behind the magical food served and brothers managing the front side for serving and managing the customer. Didnt feel i came to a restaurant, its like you have visited some family members whom you havent seen, visited and spoken in years. So if you are in area, and missing mom cooked food and gossip with brothers then this is the place you wouldnt wanna miss.

We ordered mutton curry and mutton biryani, mutton was uncooked. Probably it was not fresh. Mutton biryani was more like yellow rice, it did not have any biryani flavor. We also ordered fish masala and chicken curry which was good and fish was fresh.

It is a gem of a place hidden in Orillia. It is the closest you can get to homely authentic Indian food. The food is prepared fresh and likely I will rate it as one of the best Indian restaurant, I have come across in North America! It is not a fine dining expensive experience, however it has great food and ambience. My wife and I stopped by yesterday for lunch and ended up ordering lot more food to take home and enjoy for the next couple of meals. I highly recommend this restaurant.
