Yesterday I visited this place with my friends. Mana Salwa exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The food quality was exceptional, offering delicious dishes made with fresh ingredients. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, with attentive staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Moreover, the hygiene standards were impeccable. I highly recommend Mana Salwa for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience

Extremely disappointed. I am a regular customer of their chicken samosas and so is my family, which are amazing. We do takeout regularly and decided to get some sweets from them for the first time with the other food we got today. One of the sweets in the box had mold in it. Disgusting. They clearly don’t maintain the quality of their stored food and now we will hesitate getting any food from them at all. We had to throw the entire box away. They closed tonight before we opened the box, otherwise would have absolutely gone back. Horrible service and experience, putting their customers health at risk.

I was hesitant to order Briyani based on other reviews. But i wanted to try my luck anyway and was extremely disappointed by its taste. I understand that Briyani taste varies from place to place. But any Briyani should have its spice and meat blended in giving its special taste. But this was too bland to be called as Briyani. Even though it looks flavourful, there wasn’t any taste to it 😔 Parota roll was good though

Pickering has many great restaurants for takeout, and Mana Salwa is one of them. We ordered the 'Platter for Two', which consists of four pieces of boneless chicken meat, two pieces of bbq chicken, two skewers of beef kebab, two pieces of naan, and rice with cabbage on top. The bonless chicken in the platter were perfectly cooked, pillow soft, and very flavorful. The beef kebab in the platter was also very well made, with the right amount of seasoning and texture. We also ordered a dozen chicken and beef samosas, which were flavorful, perfectly crunchy on the outside, and well cooked on the inside without being dry. The naan was very soft and chewy. One suggestion I have is to make the naan less chewy, so that it is easier to eat, but that is just my opinion. The Kashmiri tea was very aromatic and a nice way to end the meal with something sweet. Mohammad and Daniel provided excellent customer service skills, and they were knowledgeable about the restaurant and food for any questions I asked. I highly recommend the Platter for Two Special for the variations, flavors, and great value. What I like about this restaurant is they take very good care in the way they season and cook their food because you definitely can tell when you take the first bite, and they are sharing Pakistani inspired culture through their food. Thank you to everyone at Mana Salwa, and looking forward to trying more items on the menu!

Update: we've since gone back and tried a butter chicken along with a platter for 2. The butter chicken was delicious, the chicken looks the same as the chicken in the platter (red colour and large chunks). The naan was a lot better this time, not overly sweet but still flavourful. Perfect! TLDR; Tasty and affordable! This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem! We tried chicken biryani, platter for 2, and a palaak paneer. The chicken biryani was packed full and super spicy, the chicken was cooked to perfection. There was a lot of sauce that settled to the bottom, which I hadn't experienced elsewhere. The palaak paneer was very sweet, and the paneer was a tad crumbly. The platter was amazing, the chicken pieces were moist and flavourful. The naan was quite different from what I'm used to, as it had some sweetness to it like raisin flavour, but I'm not sure. Everything is priced very reasonably, even with the rising cost of ingredients after covid. The platter was definitely my favourite and we will be back for it again!

I ordered a chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and boneless chicken biryani with the butter naan. The food was very flavorful and the portions were very generous. My one small complaint was that the curries did have a little too much oil. The naan was soft and flavorful. Overall, it was a very positive experience. I will definitely be coming back to this place to try out their other dishes.

Very authentic taste. Love the biryani shahi paneer and mutton karahi. The price is great too and the service is excellent. Everything is freshly prepared and they are planning to add more menu items.in the future. They do deliver with uber eats and skip the dishes. And chats are available too. Wish them all the best for future. One of the best Indian/ Pakistani restaurant in Pickering.

ETA: the reply below: I ordered food after 9 pm. The staff would have been done fasting. Salad was wilting and rotting and after taking money for an item thru app sub par and wrong and cheaper items were sent Do not religiously shame me. You know what you did. I called 3 times, you dont pick up. Uber says with your restaurant there are no refunds . I dont think its a coincidence. Perhaps there is a high occurrence of wrong or no items sent? Original review: Do not order or give them business. I expect a better service with places that keep halal because they have a promise to keep with divine. I have been sick this Ramadan and I am a sole earning parent with no one in Canada. Ordered thru Uber and they didnt sent one item and sent plain Naan when I ordered stuffed potato Naans. I hope the little money you made from a sick mother in Ramadan trying to feed her daughter was worth the dishonesty. I have called and surprise: they dont pick up. And they some kind of understanding to not offer refunds thru uber? I dont think its a coincidence. The chickpeas are hard. The fish was too salty to eat thrown on rotting salad and spinach is cut as fodder for animals. I pray your underhanded business ways catch up to you Ameen.

The biryani is a tantalizing symphony of flavors, with fragrant rice and perfectly cooked meat or vegetables. Their karhai dishes are equally impressive, boasting rich and bold flavors that dance on your palate. Each bite is a celebration of authentic Pakistani cuisine, paired with attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere

I am forced to change my rating for Mana Salwa, and I am keeping my old review just to keep it in perspective... I ordered food last night, Chicken Karahi and Chicken Jhalfrezi, boneless - in the restaurant as well as in the website (the screen inside of the store showed this price, so was the website as I first checked the price), it shows the price is 13.99 each, the lady charged 14.99 illegally, unethically... Chicken Karahi had so much extra salt that it was thrown away to waste (I did try to give you a call but it was 10PM, I ordered around 8.30PM), in my 8years in Canada I have never tasted that kind of awful taste, it could give anyone heart attack and those 4 naan? Even walmart packaged naans are better than those.... Well, I am forced to break our 7 years relationship.... Also, Ramadan is not an excuse, even in Saudi Arabia, Ramadan never impacted any taste difference, I particularly ordered late so that I can eat it after breaking the fasting.... So, please dont put Ramadan as a religious excuse in Canada... There are so many better places around Pickering and Ajax, Mana Salws will be in history soon! ---------------------------------------- My 3.5years old 5 star review: The only problem with this place is that they mix something very special into their food to make you feel option-less for the future .... I dont see any competition for them, I drove 10kms to get the best desi food today, I am feeling proud of my decision.... I had Chicken A-One Karahi, Chicken out of the world yet authentic tikka masala, Chicken super tender Kabab and .... awesome Nan bread.... Biryani is going to be in the next visit .... shukria!

Food was phenomenal! You can taste the fresh quality ingredients in the dishes especially the oils they use, that s what usually gives it away if a restaurant is just reheating old supply. This place makes they re curries made to order which is really nice! Naan was amazing so soft, mutton curry was exceptional went soo well with both the briyani rice and naan. Butter chicken was also very flavourful perfect blend of creamy buttery and spice! Highly recommend!

very small meat to rice portions. ordered the large nehari boneless ($17) and was only given two small pieces of beef. ordered the mutton biryani ($18) and only received 4 small pieces of mutton, 1 of which was just a piece of bone. overall no complaints with the taste of both. just very small portions for what i paid for and expected based on the labeled size.

This place is a hidden gem. With the way things are these days this place feels like its almost free. I was surprised at the amount of food we got in the platter for two. And at the end to find out that it even included drinks, two whole naans. All for $25.99 My wife and I stuffed ourselves. There was so much meat. My wife doesnt have a great appetite but I can eat like a monster. And there was so much food left over. It came with a lot of rice, salad and Yogurt dip. By far in January of 2024 this is the lowest price I have paid for so much food. Also, the Kashmiri Tea was only $2.99. The food was very enjoyable. The meat was tender and juicy. I am not usually a big fan of Chicken Seekh Kababs. But these were some of the best Ive ever had. These guys should get more business. My wife happened to stumble across this place on the internet, and we took a chance. But we will definitely be coming back and spreading the word. Dietary restrictions: HMA certified halal hand slaughtered meat

We just stumbled upon this place and boy did we luck out! The food was fresh and flavorful, the customer service was phenomenal and to top it all of, the price was unbelievable in this day and age of soaring food prices. We got the platter for 2 which had a great variety of chicken and kabab, but also came with naan and spicy Biryani rice. We ate to our fill and came home with leftovers. The Kashmiri chai was also a nice treat on a cold winters day. If the owners invested in some much needed renovations, this place would be even more phenomenal. But until then, Im happy to go back there anytime for takeout or a quick bite to eat. Danyaal was so pleasant and helpful. Its a family owned business and they donate their tips to charity. Spread the word! This place is a hidden gem and has the potential to be much more! Highly recommended.

Bought a tray chicken biryani from them on a Thursday night and placed it in the fridge shortly after to be eaten on Friday. After taking the biryani out in the morning, by Friday late afternoon the biryani smelled horrible and we had to throw out nearly the entire tray. The explanation given was that their biryani is not meant to last more than a day even after we refrigerated it and that it should all be eaten right away.. Refused to give a refund.

Went to Mana Salva for the 1st time. It was recommended to me by a friend. Small restaurant mostly take out but a couple of people can also sit and eat. I had the BEST Butter Chicken wrap. We also ordered the platter for 2 and got to try Tandoori Chicken, chicken Seekh Kabab and Tikka Chicken. Oh my, the food was delicious, juicy and amazingly tasty. Its very reasonable too. Loved every single thing. We also ordered some take out and desserts. Cant wait to eat for dinner. Highly recommended.

Ordered over the phone just one mutton biryani and one chicken biryani. Order taker even didn t care to ask if it is boneless or with bone and just told me half an hour. I should have been alerted by this time but the reviews i saw were great, i dont know if these people have even tasted plain basmati steamed rice in their lives. This biryani is not biryani i have 20 years of experience in hotel industry and i know they used tandoori chicken leftover pieces, sela rice and some sort of gravy. But the way the guy told me that it will take another 7 mins when i came to pick up and other talks with other customers seems like professional. But i have to steam those biryanis for freakin more than half an hour even then they were not up-to the mark but at least edible. I will not suggest this place for anything, coz if u cannot cook rice properly then u cannot cook anything. Very bad that people in durham region dont know what is biryani and start selling it.

Mana Salwa is a hidden gem in Pickering! Not a fancy outlet, but the food is fantastic and so is the customer service - and what matters. Food is always fresh and the price and the quantity are just perfect. The butter chicken is one of the best Ive had in GTA. The Chicken Biryani is unique and has a nice spice to it! And not to forget they are open to make adjust spice and oil levels. Weve tried a few things and are going about ordering and trying everything one by one on the menu! It is always a pleasure to pick up food as you feel welcomed and promptly attended to.

Just wanted make sure this place is recognized for the outstanding food they catered for me. Ordered 2 platters for 10 and a butter chicken tray for a party and food was awesome! Special thanks to the 2 gents who served me. Food was delicious and plentiful. Please dont change! One suggestion would be to keep the salad separately in case people need to reheat food at home. Otherwise A+ food and service. Will tell family and friends about you guys! Thank you!

Great service! Food was good too. Love the samosas, very fresh and not at all oily like most other places. We had the beef samosas which was excellent. Parking is not the best due to several other businesses in the plaza.

Ordered the platter for ten, and didnt regret. Amazing food. Definitely would recommend.

Avoid this place at all costs!! They 100% use other people s photos on uber eats and photos are misleading. The naan is stale or it s reheated frozen naan, it s stiff and tastes like cardboard (photo attached). The samosas are also not fresh and this is obvious due to lack of bubbles you get in the crust, when a samosa is fried (photo attached). The butter chicken has a thick layer of oil on the top and is not tasty. EDIT : IN RESPONSE TO THE OWNER RESPONSE: I am attaching the photo from Uber Eats where the 12 pc Samosa visibly has the bubbles and looks nothing like what we ordered. As for the naan, I will also attach a photo from Uber Eats where the naan I got looks nothing like the photo I attached. We certainly did not eat majority of the butter chicken. The butter chicken was placed on plates and then thrown out because of the pools of oil. We ordered two butter chickens and the second was thrown out unopened. I routinely order butter chicken from various restaurants, I am also Punjabi and never have I ever seen the butter separate and curdle like this.

Arrived at the store, dealt with a great customer service. The cashier was very polite and easy to deal with. I ordered chicken biryani and samosas. The food was ready in almost no time. The quality of the biryani was excellent: freshly topped off with herbs, and chicken was tender. The samosas were hot and fresh, the crust was crispy and the potato filling was delicious. Overall a great experience and will be returning soon.

Being raised in canada traditional south asian food was never one to water my mouth, honestly wasnt expecting much. Me and my friends were looking for a place to eat and we found this place .We ordered in the car on the way to the restaurant, and when we arrived the food was ready for us. The service was quick and that was surprising as good service is scarce during this pandemic. The food protions were a steal at the prices . The cheap prices didnt lead to bad taste either, the food was amazing, the only thing that we missed was the dining-in expirience

Agree with another user, food lacks salt. I ordered the veggie pakora and samosas, both items lacked flavour. Mint and red chutney also lacked flavor, very watered down. 3 stars only because the food was piping hot even though it took me 1 hr to recieve through door dash.

Would definitely recommend these guys for catering! We had an order of Chicken Pulao, Butter Chicken and Mango Delight which was all relished fondly by our guests. We were a bit skeptical at first, because theyre fairly new and it was our first time to order from them for such a big group. But it exceeded expectations as it was cooked perfectly as per our request regarding less oil and medium spicy. Daniyal was very polite, kind and accommodating towards our order details. The food was ready exactly at the time that we ordered for, and the quantity was perfect. The packing was really well done and nothing was spilled. Thank you guys, keep up the great taste and customer service. Youre definitely our most preferred choice in Pickering!

Had a very pleasant time eating there. Customer service: 10/10 ( Not only were they polite and friendly, they are also very clean and helpful) Food: 9/10 ( Food was fresh and delicious. They are generous with their serving) Just know, that when a restaurant asks you you leave a review online,then that means they take compliments and criticism seriously.

Worse Biriyani I ever had. Just plain rice mixed with chicken curry! Well thank you for your reply. Yes I did asked you extra gravy. Problem is not extra gravy problem is rice has no flavor just white rice. I thought rice should cooked with chicken not plain rice call my buriyani. Really sorry to be pain its my opinion. ALSO I FOUND STONE IN THERE ! THATS MAIN REASON FOR ONE STAR. GOOD LUCK

Bun Kabab - Amazing, reminds me of street food in karachi. Chicken Biryani - OMG tasted great, like karachi ki daigee biryani Chicken Malai Boti - mouthwatering and just right Chaat papri - sizzle your tastebuds to their peak and experience the flavor in every bite. Butter chicken - my kids just love it even my 4 year old. Gulab Jamun - this Gulab Jamun trumps even Alkaram. Tea - oh god I loved the cardamom in the tea.
