One of the best meals I've ever had! So happy o find a nice place so close to home. Everyone was so friendly and I can't get over how delicious the food was. We will be back again soon!
I called the restaurant before coming to dine in to place my order in advance. During our conversation, I asked about the spice and sweetness levels of the food. However, the response I received was, "Can you speak quickly? I have customers in the queue here." As a customer, I felt that a more polite response would have been appropriate. Every customer deserves respectful and attentive service, regardless of how busy it might be. I've worked in a restaurant myself, and whether it's a long shift or a short one, I always ensure to treat each customer with care. Please consider maintaining decorum when interacting with customers, as it greatly influences their decision to return.
Was a very good dining experience. We had Biriyani, naan,kulcha and bunch of other Gravies. Everything was authentic and tasty. Really liked the spice level. Best thing was their service. The lady who served us was very professional and particular in asking us our taste preferences and gave us suggestions. She also enquired about the taste each time she came near our table. Overall an amazing experience
Stopped in for lunch before heading out of town. Will say the food was delicious. Ordered the tikka masala and the vindaloo. The spice level on the vindaloo was perfect. I asked for Indian hot and it tasted amazing and wasn’t too hot. The special naan was also delicious. I can’t wait to come back.
Tried Kadahi chicken, it was amazing .very calm and peaceful environment. Welcoming staff, Ramandeep did a great job as server. Highly recommended 👌
Ordered through DoorDash. Was supposed to get Cashew nut salad with chicken in it and well well! Not a shred of chicken in it. Hardly any cashew as well. If I wanted to eat a veg salad, I would have ordered one as well. Ordered Mutton biriyani which also had a bland taste.
The best Indian food I’ve ever had!!! I was worried when I moved out of my old home town that I wouldn’t be able to get good Indian food and my fiancée got us take out from this restaurant and it’s our Absolute favourite!!! Won’t get Indian take out from anywhere else but here! You can tell they really Strive to use the best quality Ingredients and recipes! Thank you for never disappointing
Best Indian food in Peterborough. Taste meets quality and expectations. Me and my friends had the best dinner. So delicious food, aroma of Indian spices and the right Indian spicy taste. And within budget toooo...
What an incredible place to dine in Peterborough!! The samosa was so good that I actually stopped for a moment to savour the taste! On a cold, cold night in December, the sweet warmth of each dish was perfection. Raman, our server, was very kind and gave great recommendations of what we may like to order. We will absolutely return and recommend to our friends.
Raman served us food. The food was tasty and good. Will visit again soon.
The food, service and environment everything is amazing. One must visit when in Peterborough .
Great food, large portion sizes. Fast service and delicious flavour!
Excellent variety of Indian cuisine, perfectly spiced, large portions. Vegetarian options: Many, many options Food : 5/5 |
THE BEST BIRYANI IN TOWN!!
Raman did great job
Very fantastic atmosphere and nice staff. The staff ( Raman) was very kind. The food was really amazing. Never had taste like that in canada before.
Good prices , best taste and a really friendly environment. Pleasant experience.
Thank you for everything Raman!
The food at the Friendly Indian is always delicious. Generous portion sizes, excellent service (especially from Raman), nice atmosphere!
Food was delicious and good portions. Staff were very friendly and the owner came out to meet us and say hello. Definitely will be back again.

The food was delicious and absolutely amazing!!!
Really good food. Enjoyed it very well. Brings the pure Desi Indian taste. Great service as well. Highly recommended to come with families and friends
The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing.
I have visited this restaurant many times, but when i visited last time , i found that a lot changed in their food style ,way of treating people,food quantity less than before, and taste became really bad and i waited there few minutes to tell this directly to the casher but she was just give the machine for using card and gone inside she even not consent about speak to the customers or listening
Absolutely delicious. Raman was my server and she was very fast and gave me excellent menu suggestions.
I like service this restaurant especially Raman and Kalama , to good and friendly they are I recommend to people come here and eat
I recently visited this place, and while the service was decent, the food was extremely disappointing. We ordered Dal Tadka, and it was not even edible. The taste was off, and it was a real letdown. Moreover, the place was not hygienic, which made the whole experience worse. I would never consider going back here, and I certainly wouldn t recommend it to anyone.
Excellent food and service. Very best Indian authentic food in Peterborough
Kid-friendliness: Amazing Experience , The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly. Best Indian food I had in Peterborough . The chef Mr. Kalam is an excellent cook. Atmosphere
Insanely good value - fair prices for huge portions. They never skimp on the meat, and the gravies are delicious. The naan is perfect. Great for sharing, and friendly service.
Amazing, delicious! Best in town
A place for tasty Indian foods. We tried butter chicken and it was so good. Will visit again. The owner Mr Kalam is welcoming as usual
A go to place for amazing indian food
Very bad food as well as service. The service was so bad, did not get food until 1 hour of ordering. Would absolutely not recommend.
Asked mild to moderate spicy kadai paneer, but it felt like moderate to high
We came for dine in tonight and had chicken Tikka Masala and was really very good and delicious the girl served us very sweetly and she gave us complimentary onions she was talking very politely.....kudos to Raman have great experience there
Ordered over the phone for pick up and was told it would be an hour due to a large order they were working on which was fine. When I arrived they looked at me through the door then closed the door to leave me waiting even though my order was on the counter. I ordered biryani and butter chicken as an entre but there was no rice with the butter chicken so I guess you have to order a side as well.
Amazing food!!
Vegetarian options: They are available - have to say I only ordered the chicken dishes and they were excellent. Food
Good service. Its worth the money.
We had a great experience. we would highly recommend it if youre looking for an authentic indian food. Staff is very friendly and food is too delicious.
For a single samosa chaat and 1 chicken platter 1hour 40minutes wasted. Pathetic service . They were serving the delivery orders but the customers sitting in dining was of 0 preference. I really don t want to give even a 1star in service.
I had a wonderful experience at the Indian cuisine restaurant, thanks to Bhawnas exceptional service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her knowledge of the menu and her warm demeanor added to the overall dining experience. Bhawna truly made our visit special, and I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting the restaurant!
Food was okay little bit expensive as per quality but you can get a very well good experience Vegetarian options: Dal makhani and paneer tikka masala
Best food and nice service. I got complementary gulab jamun
Awesome food, good portions and affordable! Nice people and lots of vegan options Food
This place has really gone downhill since last time i visited which was a few years back. I m writing this in the hope that owner takes notice of the shortcomings and improves. I remember him as a very thorough gentleman. We were in peterborough area and although the restaurant was far from where we were i decided to visit for dinner due to great experience few yrs back. Turned put to be opposite. The food took a long time but it was made with haste. In indian food if you dont cook the spices enough, it tastes raw and bad which was how the food tasted. We had ordered the bhuna chicken and chana masala - both were the same - made quickly without attention to how much they should be cooked. The tandoori roti and pulao was good. The lady bringing the cutlery had handled them in an unhygienic way of holding them against her t shirt, which she should take care of not making that a habit. Otherwise she was really polite and made us feel welcome. The washroom smelt terrible and the door to the basement if opened was emanating that foul smell in the restaurant. So overall a poor experience this time around.
My meal was inedible. I ordered Palak Paneer. The spinach was oxidised (almost black in parts) and the paneer was sour. The spices used were overdone and very stale. I only ate one mouthful, which I spat out immediately. The powdery consistency of the unproved, poor quality/old spices was the prevalent taste in the dish. Also, this vegetarian meal did not meet Hindu vegetarian standards. I have eaten and prepared Indian food for over 60 years. I import spices and herbs from India and Asia as a major part of my business.. These kind of meals are my everyday food choices. So yes, I have a lot of experience in this food sector. The restaurant was also dirty. There were previously used paper napkins under our table! Plates were cold and greasy and the poor quality cutlery was not clean. And no apology for my terrible meal either! I sincerely hope that the owners clean up their act. Perhaps other dishes are superior? I am sure they can do better. Until they do, I suggest looking elsewhere for a good Indian meal.
Very slow service
This was our first experience in this store. 9 of us came together , and thankfully we found this indian restaurant ,which serves both veg and non-veg dishes. Wait for food was about 15 minutes , which is understandable. The food served was hot and delicious. Loved the cheese naan, chicken biriyani, malai kofta. The waitress was very good. Eventhough the store was busy , she kept on checking on us . Overall , the food was good, and so the service. Would come again, and love to recommend this place to others.
We just love this place! Dining in or ordering out, we have enjoyed various Indian dishes. All have been delicious! Yesterday we ordered the paneer and chicken Tikka masala, hot and spicy. It was prepared the way we like. Excellent dishes, great value. Our favorite place for Indian cuisine! Get the Aloo Kulcha for dipping.
Dinner as a vegan was absolutely delicious, the meat eaters loved it too. Can customize your spice level. Appetizers were excellent and main dishes were large portions at great prices. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Will go back
I visited this place regular because it is hlal restaurant and affordable. I must say all the dishes are so delicious and it is more than enough for me. I visit this place again. Chiken biryani, butter chiken and mango Lassi are my favorite. If you are a student must visit this place it is so affordable.
I love ordering takeout here, staff are always very friendly and the food never disappoints! The flavours are amazing and the portions are amazing! I highly recommend you try it! Absolutely loved every dish we have ordered here so far!
Had a fantastic dinner. Pick up take out. It was ready on time and when in store I was informed on specials. We allways have a wonderful meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.
What an amazing customer service. Best you can find in town. Food is delicious as well. Must visit. kudos to Ramandeep for her service.
The family thoroughly enjoyed our Easter dinner which included vegetarian samosas, vegetable pakora, vegetable korma, chicken korma and butter chicken. We know we can always count on The Friendly Indian for delicious food! Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious vegetarian options!
Tasty
The Absolute BEST Chicken Ive ever had in my life. Tandoori Chicken with the Mint Chutney is my absolute favourite chicken dish now. I really really love it. Its SUPER GOOD. Really friendly place - Friendly Indian Cuisine Lovely people, lovely chefs, lovely service, WONDERFUL food.
Best food. Amir served us very well, having good professional communication skills. Food
AMIR was really courteous and was really dedicated towards his roles and responsibilities.
Amazing food. Never had a bad item here and prices cant be beat! Only suggestion is maybe play some music inside. We were the only ones there and at times it was very quiet otherwise
My favourite place to get Indian food. Their sauces have the best flavour and you get a lot of food for a great price.
Super affordable and delicious Indian Food with, you guessed it, friendly service. I always get the family dinner for one...its easily enough for 2 or even 3. The palak paneer is fantastic, as is the chicken vindaloo if you like things mouth wateringly spicy.
Good food great service by raman
Food was very good. Customer service at its best!
Amazing Indian food! Perfect for Veg and Meat Eaters alike! Great prices and tasty food! Try the Tandoori Cauliflower!!!
Good quantity plus good customer service very welcoming girl Plus she gave free dessert
Very friendly and accommodating service staff and owners. Always greeted with a smile. The chicken biryani is amazing, generous portion with lots of chicken, made to order to your spice preference. The cheese naan is also delicious. Definitely one our go to restaurants! Food
Best Indian food in Peterborough.
Best Indian Food around!
Amazing quality dishes with great portions! Highly recommend if you are looking to get great value and great tasting Indian cuisine.
Food is tasty but the service is pathetic.
lunch buffet so freaking good! the chicken in every dish is extremely tender, not dried out sitting in liquid. Naan on deck. Fried items were immediately refilled. Choiti was very helpful in helping me select sauces that complimented the fritter. This place should be packed every lunch.
Picked food up from here yesterday. The young lady at the counter was super-nice. We ordered butter chicken and chicken vindaloo and naan. Didn t end up eating it until this evening. It was absolutely fantastic. Will definitely order from here again and again
Always amazing food, my go to Indian cuisine in peterborough for sure.
First time we tried Friend Indian Cuisine and it s the best in town. Lots of flavour and heat it you want it. Will definitely be back Parking: Nice to not have to park on the street
Adorable little place! The service wasnt super friendly but the food was amazing!
Amazing Indian food
Great food at affordable price. I had ordered goat curry and it was delicious. Gonna order multiple times my new favourite place for Indian food
Waited more than 1.5 hour and taste was worse. Not Recommended
Worest restyrant no food item is good no good service
Best restaurant! Food is amazing. Wow!!! Highly recommended. This restaurant gives the best home food experience. Recommended for family visit too!!! #Asianfood #Indianfood
Loved the taste of chicken. The serving size was good too.
Authentic Indian foods, Highly recommended
Poor service , much delay in order and taste awful
No testy food
Best quality food you ll get! Very tasty and really good service!
Had an amazing time at the restaurant. The taste of the food was great and the service provided was very satisfactory.
They have the best middle eastern food..
Being a Pakistani, Its very difficult to find restaurants like these in Peterborough. Desi Cuisine is awesome here. Any South Asian places hit this place up for sure.
Long waiting as well as worst food.. never waste your precious time here
Long waiting and worst food
Dirty nasty place customer service is rude and ignorant! The place is dirty. Im surprised the health unit has not shut down this place. They literally picked up food off the floor and gave it to a customer.
The biriani was a 9 out of 10, very nice smell and tasted amazing. All the foods tasted good and definitely was mouthwatering
I love this place. Its real!!! The food is perfect <3 huge portions!!!
I ordered Chicken biriyani and Gulab Jamun for my daughter, who went to Lakefield school and was craving Indian food. It was an urgent order. The owner was very busy but still accommodated my request. The food was delicious. Thank you, Friendy Indian Cuisine!!!
Great value Indian restaurant. Love the Methi Chicken
Good food Foods pretty much always ready for the agreed time to pick up
Amazing food! The portions are fantastic and the flavour of each item is outstanding! Their butter chicken, and tikka masala are my favourite! Highly recommend this location!
Amazing hospitality, food and environment!!!!
Great tasting food and good portion size. We always get the butter chicken it is the best. The food is always hot and fresh. The garlic naan is quite good as well.
Really delicious and overloaded plates valur for money
The food was amazing and the staff was also polite and impressive specially Simran and Akash. The way they both served the food with their politeness. I always recommend Friendly Indian Cuisine if you are looking for Indian Food in Peterborough.
Were going through Peterborough and decided to eat here. Really fresh food and taste. Fair price and good quantity. Keep it up!
The service of this restaurant is really good and they treat their customers very well. Their food is also very delicious
We ordered food 30 mins ago. When asked why so late.. they mentioned that they still need 10 more mins.. but people ordering for takeout, were provided very quickly. We have been waiting for 45 mins for our food.. not very friendly Indian cuisine.
Food is very delicious, love it ,like the service tooo
One of the worst vegetarian I have ever had .. went to this place with the superb reviews. But 1) reached there at 9.20pm for dine in and they were not willing to serve there and wanted us to do a takeout .. 2) the food was horrible, but yes the quantity was great , the waiter could have advised to order less as they know the quantity l.. again I ate only 25% and rest 3/4 I simply couldn t finish .. regret going there ..
We usually love this place, but something has changed. The spice was so heavy we couldnt taste one dish from the next. The samosas we terrible, taste like ash. Super disappointed and unfortunately wont be eating there again. I like heat, but this was overpowering to the point I couldnt taste anything.
Wish I took pictures!!! Food was fantastic ordered both chicken and beef an they just melt in your mouth. Ordered the assorted Naan so i can mix and match cheese naan , the naan special and potatoes naan. The music had me shuffling my feet and all bouncy while eating my food. I had a wonderful experience thank you guys!!!! See you again very soon!!!
The food was as delicious as it can be. Finding that actual indian tasty here is quite difficult but not if u r at FRIENDLY INDIAN CUISINE. Must visit. Good place to eat and have good time
They are very inconvenient to their customers and they took more than an hour to serve. That is ridiculous.
Excellent food , I appreciated it.
Vegetarian options: Great as it is. Food
This is the best restaurant in peterborough and also the food quantity is very good. I tried dal makhni there and its very very good, its taste like home cooked food. I recommended to all that please visit and try something. Its one of my favorite restaurant in peterborough. Vegetarian options: There are too much vegetarian options that i specially recommended to all because i tried so many food there. I loved their food speacially dal makhni.
Not as tasty of late
Absolutely the best place to have Indian food. I was new in town and was looking for someplace to get that Indian touch. Definitely the best choice. Mehboob the owner is extremely friendly and personally made sure that we were taken care of. Leaving exceptional service
Very disappointing! The service was too slow and it took half hour to get each dish and that too after we did multiple follow ups. The only saving grace was Paneer Makhni. On the top of waiting for half hour, the chicken tikka kebab was half cooked and chewy most of the part. Their excuse was that due to Father s day they re busy but that can t be a reason for not handling your customers and serving bland and half cooked dish. Finally, the server agreed to provide us deductions for the chicken kabab and the inconvenience caused us during waiting. Not sure how this place is close to 4.2 stars but I wouldn t recommend it to anyone especially during busy times.
very poor customer service. we ordered tandoori paneer kabab and zeera ricr dal fry and 30 minutes later they came and said we don t have it , we ordered again achari paneer still they don t have. she has to inform us before why they informed 30 minutes later. you are putting signature dishes in menu and you don t have it and saying order something normal. don t know how to handle customer. no staff for all service
Worst customer service ever. Ordered food inside the restaurant and waited half an hour, then they informed the dish is not available as out of ingredients. We order replacement dish and the same thing after 15 min. It was clear that they wanted to serve leftover food and not cook fresh food. Do not recommend this place.
The service at Friendly Indian Cuisine was impeccable. The staff members were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout the meal. They provided excellent recommendations and were happy to accommodate any special requests we had.
Great food
Good food
I have eaten here on multiple occasions. This place gives you good options in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods. I had their buffet on the occasion of their anniversary. I got options to make myself a good platter of vegetarian curries and rice along with soft Naans. The owners are very friendly. Mahbub Bhai and Kalam Bhai both are very welcoming. They welcome you with a warm smile and serve freshly prepared food. Biryani and chana masala are the go to items. Kheer is a must try if available on the day of visit. Overall 4.5/5 from my side.
Excellent food. Kind staff. What more can you ask for?!
Great flavours, fast and friendly service, the Lassi is divine. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options to choose from. Food : 5/5 |
Ordered 155$ worth of food for the family gathering. They forgot the butter chicken. I called and went back to pick it up and they had me wait (still waiting as I m writing this) processing other doordash orders. Complet lack of organization and service. As I m writing this The family is waiting and nobody cares.
ITS YUMMY IN MY TUMMY. Genuinely really good. The food was amazing and the staff are really nice.
Excellent food and Hospitality. Specially The biryani and butter chicken was amazing!! Will come back again!!
The worst experience ever in last four years of coming to this restaurant , both the girls were very disrespectful on the counter, we waited for 2hours for our food to dine-in, served there friends in 15mins ,gave priorities to delivery, ignoring the request to check on our food, after letting them know ahead we have 6hrs drive to catch, complete ignorance was been observed. The store owner used to be really a great personality, I and my partner really wished he would be there to attend us, as he was the one who put the craze of pineapple chicken curry, we drove from cornwall to here just to have the dinner. Last but not the least at time we have to rushed out because of our drive , girls throw a tantrum of an attitude to us, no apologies, gave the change in an inappropriate way of an act to be very disrespectful. Also my partner felt that him being a white guy was treated with least priorities then to the girls Indian friends picking up takeout orders or delivery drivers to the ones who ordered or arrived after we ordered. WE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE SINCE IT OPENED, HOPEFULLY THIS WOULD GET RECTIFY VERY SOON!
I had an amazing experience at the friendly Indian cuisine restaurant! The welcoming ambiance, friendly staff, and incredibly delicious food made it a memorable visit. From biryani to mouthwatering butter chicken, every dish was a delight. The exceptional service and personalised recommendations added to the overall charm. If youre a fan of authentic Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a must-
Good experience, amazing staff. Food is delicious and the ambience is awesome
I recommend friendly Indian cuisin to all. I have visit 3rd time there. The restaurant was too busy. But still all staff was cooperate in such aa polite way. They gave preference to all customers including takeouts, online orders and dine in as well. I really appreciate them. They are working in very fast environment with great quality of food. If we talk about the food, the food was so yummy, my friends was coming from Toronto for try food at Friendly Indian Cuisin. If you guys want to try different taste of food, just visit at Friendly Indian Cuisin.
Excellent restaurant for food and atmosphere is also amazing here . Delivery is always on time.
Very tasty food. Butter chicken and naan bread is fantastic.
Everything was great first time having very good food and worth every penny large portions
Overall, for the price the quality is abit different and taste wasnt upto the mark. I have tried chicken tikka many times from different restaurants but this chicken wasnt tandoori chicken it tasted like I would cook at home with lot of canned tomatoes taste with lot of chunks of onion which felt weird chewing. Since this was my first time trying this restaurants food i didnt know what to expect and i did not feel satisfied with the taste however ordering, preparing time and billing was very easy.
Best tandoori chicken
Very good food. Mutton ( goat ) biryani was a big surprise with Goat meat very tender and tasty with lovely flavors. Garlic Naan and Butter naan very good with paneer butter masala.
I m usually not the type to leave reviews, but I just ordered some food from this place on skip the dishes, and it just arrived.. it s probably the best Indian food I have ever tried in my entire life. Absolutely incredible!!! Will be ordering again
The worst Indian food ever tried in Peterborough.
Delicious food
Best food
The food sucks and if you really want to waste your time then go to this place as they might take more than an hour to give the ordered food. Upon asking they say we don t have enough staff and have high orders, whereas we were the only one in the restaurant and they were prioritising online orders.
I recently dined at Friendly Indian Cuisine, and the experience was delightful. The Butter Chicken was a creamy and flavorful dish that had me craving for more. The Biryani, with its fragrant rice and tender pieces of meat, was a true highlight. The menu also offered a range of other Indian dishes, each bursting with unique spices and tastes that transported my taste buds to India. The service was friendly, and the ambiance added to the overall experience. I highly recommend trying the Butter Chicken and Biryani along with exploring the diverse Indian offerings at this restaurant for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Best Indian food in Peterborough. The ambiance is very relaxed and welcoming. We ve been coming here regularly for 3 years now. Highly recommended.
My recent experience at Friendly Indian Cuisine left me quite disappointed. The highlight of any Indian meal is usually the naan bread, but sadly, it wasnt freshly made; it tasted like it had been sitting around for a couple of days. To add to the letdown, I ordered butter naan but received a regular naan instead. The food itself was far from satisfying; the flavors lacked depth, and the overall quality was lacking. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone seeking authentic Indian cuisine. There are better options out there for those looking for a delicious and fresh Indian dining experience.
Best food forever
Its probably the best Indian food
Tasty food ever i had
One the best food in the Peterborough i tested there in Friendly Indian Cuisine. Awesome
The food was really good. I ordered biryani and it was authentic biryani. The owner himself is really good and generous person. Thank you bhai jaan for the hospitality.
The impeccable service coupled with the delightful ambiance made our evening truly memorable. Thank you for servicing EXCELLENT dishes
We love the food! Allow for more than double the time they tell you for pick-up to avoid frustration.
I have dined at many restaurants in Canada, but nowhere else I have been satisfied as much as I satisfied with the foods and overall services here! Best wishes for the restaurant.
This is a wonderful restaurant. Its food and overall services are extremely good. I am personally pleased with their foods and services.
Its an awesome restaurant.
I came from Brampton. It was my first time i tried food in peterborough. It was amazing and quantity was more than expected. Moreover, price was very genuine
Nice
