NEVER ORDERING FROM HERE. My family had Nihari and Bihari kabab from here last night, everyone got terrible food poisoning. Launched a complaint with TPH. Never knew other customers faced similar issues before and this place was previously closed by TPH due to rodent infestation. Selling poison to customers

Authentic pakistani taste. Not so spicy, but better. I don't understand why people gave negative reviews. That is nice place with reasonable price. I am happy that I have visited.

This was my first time ordering from this place, and quite frankly I was very disappointed with one of the items. I ordered nihari, which was very spicy but manageable as the dish varies from region to region. However the beef biryani that I ordered had two pieces of beef and the rest was all rice. For 15 bucks… the meat portion was absolutely terrible. The raita that came with it was very watery. Never ordering from this place again. I do not recommend.

Terrible. Ordered chanay and haleem and both gave the entire family food poisoning. The next morning when I went to throw it out, the haleem tasted like rancid meat. This restaurant is leveraging its platform on Ubereats to get rid of bad inventory. I’ve already contacted Toronto public health. An inspection should be forthcoming.

Absolute trash service and blatant disregard for customers. Patna Kabab House accepted my pickup order on Door Dash, which I FULLY PAID FOR. Google Maps said they were open until 9pm on Monday, June 17, 2024. We came to the restaurant and there were workers inside who refused to acknowledge us. They took my money and locked the door and wouldn't even open it (after I was shouting and showing my order proof through the glass window). They were shoo-ing us away - ushering at us to leave. Exhibiting unhinged Desi "village' behaviour in Canada. Utterly disgusting and unacceptable.

May 16, 2024

Food was utter disappointment. Ordered 2 butter naan 1 nihari and 1 Karachi chicken and 1 shik kabab. Naan was thick and undercooked, no smell of butter, probably smeared some oil over it. Nihari was overly hot without much of a taste, if you like it you probably never had real nihari. Chicken they used was probably the cheapest they could find, the gravy was watery and absolutely disgusting. The shik kabab was the only okay tasting part of the meal but it was also burnt out. Spare your money and don't go there.

I was introduced to this restaurant by friends who've been coming here for a few years. This is one of the oldest restaurants in the area serving authentic Pakistani fare. The place is quite old and run down but it's usually clean. The food however is good and priced very reasonably. Their bihari kebab, seekh kebabs and nihari along with their naans are really good. The food tastes really authentic and their naans are super fluffy and compliment the food really well. I haven't been here many times but my experience has been mostly positive. They close shop early by 9 always and have a small prayer room for Muslims travelling.

When I came to Canada, I was introduced to this place by an old acquaintance right in the very first week, Since then I have had so many great memories and an amazing dinning experience everytime I visit the place. It's not just about the food but the overall experience. I just say that the guy at the counter taking the orders is such a gentleman. Because of him being so hospitable every customer I see values the place. I love their Bihari Kebab I love their Nihari and I love their Dal Channa Fry. I would keep on visiting this place I will keep on taking my guests there and it's one of my go-to place that I keep on going back. I don't know how to cook so I regularly take parcels from them as well food quality and quantity is always amazing. I would recommend everyone to experience this amazing place.

1. Extremely dirty washroom. 2. Also that my child was locked in tje washroom as the lock was not working well. 3. Paya gravy was as thin, runny and tasteless as water. Also there waa lots of onion swimming around in the gravy. 4. On my complain, they just took paya back and did not return my money nor they give any other thing and nor they give better version of paya. This is kind of cheating for me when I do not get anything after paying for a dish. Fruit flies disturbed us all the time during dinner. I would not like to go there again ever. They need high improvement specially in cleanliness and hygiene.

There was a time where this place were known for their bihari kababs. I ordered the kabab platter, nihari and paya. The bihari kabab was extremely bad, no bihari taste. Nihari was stale and paya was watery thin. Please spend your money wisely and stay away from this place.

November 23, 2024

we ordered food from patna kabab house a few days ago, we asked for extra raita and when we got home with the food and noticed that they only gave us 1 tiny raita container which was half filled too, quality of raita is very bad. just water. serving us bad raita that they wouldnt even eat themselves. they also got my order wrong. UNBELIEVABLE. Customer Service has gone down the drain day by day. The Lady at the cashier is extremely rude and dishonest with their customers. she doesnt accept her mistake and argues with you. Im sure we are not the only one whom have dealt with this kind of behaviour. we wouldnt be coming back to this place again.

Went there a few days ago & inside the restaurant was like getting boiled alive. No AC, no air circulation. Too cheap. Food was dissatisfied. I ordered beef biryani & it was subpar compare to others. Taste were just sour & spicy which was ok. Missing savory or some salt. Its just a bunch of rice & some meat under. Its safe to say Im not returning anytime soon.

Their food is delicious, with mouth-watering Niharis and yummy biryanis served with fresh naans. The ambience is average, but if youre looking for a tasty meal, this is a great option. Also the cashier named Sameer, was very respectful and detail oriented. I asked for naans and they ran out of those, but he went and made me fresh naans and also made sure all my food was warm as I asked for. I m def coming here again.

Visited on July 24, 2024. It has a sign that said CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS. We returned disappointed. On an earlier visit, we loved the nihari here. A bit too spicy for me, but the family enjoyed it. Looking forward to visiting again when they reopen. Parking: Free parking within the plaza.

Garbage bbq. Dry kabobs, biryani was rotten. Behari kabab was hard and dry, they don t know how to make bbq, Worst experience ever. No wonder they are always suspended by healthy and safety inspection

I have been going there for over 15 years. Lately I noticed changes in their service and food quality Their service has gone bad as they are asking people to bring dirty plates back to counter. The food used to be spicy but now it has gone to the limits in extreme spices. They provide no drinking water at the table and want people to buy water and drinks. Off course people would have no choice after eating extreme spicy food to buy water bottles now

Always liked the taste, ordered food after a loong time today & the attitude of the girl on the phone was very rude & unprofessional, drove 25km and then was told only cash since machine was not working, that s ok but the way she spoke was not at all good, the girl was fluent in Gujarati too. Like I said the food is good and I hope the management looks into their employees attitude and customer service skills too.

Best Nihari in Toronto loved seeking kawab aswell.

June 23, 2024

I have always bought the veal biryani and nihari which were amazing but last night there was NO FLAVOUR in either of them. Biryani tasted like plain rice with just a few pieces of meat. Meat portion has decreased significantly. Nihari too had no flavour at all and was bland as if both dishes were made for hospital patients. It was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT and an embarrassment as I had ordered for guests visiting for dinner whom I had raved to about Patna s biryani and nihari.

Food was terrible, nihari meat was rock hard and the kabob was raw. When we asked the girl at the front she gave attitude to us and put the kabob in the microwave instead of making it again. She told us the cooks leave right at 9 and kitchen was closed. Just shows the cooks were lazy and in a hurry to leave. DO NOT eat here.

I tried the food today. The nehari and behari kabab. The food is really yummy but it is self service with no fan and air conditioner in this hot humid weather with lots of spicy food. Only two cold drinks options are available and bathrooms are so shady. I tried it after a long time but still horrible done in experience. The place is good for takeout only. No one ask me that we need something or not. I give two star only for food

April 23, 2024

Ordered Seekh kebabs. Horribly burned and hard to chew.

April 23, 2024

Best Bihar kebab in Toronto

April 23, 2024

I ordered after perhaps 15-16 years a tray of nihari and 10 pcs of beef seekh kababs. I never liked their food and wanted to give them another try. Placed order at 1PM to pick 5 PM, four hours time. When reached there, another half hours wait. Brought food home and when we sat down for the family dinner, it was the most terrible Nihari and seekh kababs. Beef kabbas had more fillers than beef, you can stretch it like rubber as much you want without breaking it into pieces. Taste also like chewing on rubber pieces. Large Nihari tray costing $120 didi not have one single pice of beef that was not super hard and super tough to chew and eat. Most horrible food experience in years. Please dont bother to waste your money.

A must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Pakistani cuisine in a humble setting.

This place has degraded over the years, worse customer service I have ever experienced in Toronto and I have been here for 25 years. Considering its a muslim establishment, you would expect the place to be clean. Instead you hear employees chatting away in the kitchen ignoring customers despite making eye contact with no communication leaving customers unattended to place orders and unclean tables with used dishes left to dry as display. I am surprised that this place is not shut down by Toronto Public Health. And to top it off the employees have misogynistic attitudes towards women. Customer satisfaction/care and cleanliness should be your #1 priority! If I can rate this a minus -5 star I would!! AND STOP MAKING WOMEN FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE!

Drove 40 mins from Markham and throughout the drive called the restaurant (over 25 times). Got to the restaurant and was told kitchen closes at 7pm while it was 6:50pm. Was told they stop taking calls at 6:30pm, while I was calling them since 6pm and no one picked up. The guy on the counter tells me the phone was with him throughout and he never got a call. I showed him my phone with the 25 times I dialed them and he just laughed at me. Learn some manners and how to treat your customers and don t lie! NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN!

Worst experience ever this time around we got 2 nihari and 2 Bihari kabobs 5 naan. Nihari the meat was spoiled and black and the Bihari kabob was all raw. For the price and inflation especially in the month of Ramadan when people buy a lot they should be fair and give fresh and good quality food. We used to buy from here a lot but I guess we won t purchase anymore. We also called multiple times like 10-15 times and it no one picked up horrible customer service. Update: I went there the next day at 7 pm and a man opened the door and said they were closed due to Ramadan timing which are not updated on google. Went again the next day around 5:15 the manger gave my a new Bihari kabob and nihari but after all this hassle.

One of the best restaurants in Toronto. Highly recommended for dine-in, takeout, catering and delivery! Staff need to be more professional and have a good work ethic. Instead of having a blank look on their face and feeling of boredom, they must clean floors, spray the dining area with air fresheners, wipe the table after every dine-in and instead of yelling a customers name to pick up their order, should bring the order to them along with the cutlery needed. Leftover food trays need to be cleared as soon as customers leave. Tables/chairs should never be placed at/near the fire exit as it is against fire safety regulations!

I don t like writing negative reviews of small businesses but I think it is warranted here given the raw food I got. I ve been here before and recently went again driving 35-40 minutes away from Markham upon hearing a good review from a friend. I ordered seekh kebabs, chicken biryani and chicken Karahi. The taste was good a bit on spicy side, until I realized how raw the inside of the beef kebabs were, completely NOT cooked. I called and asked to speak to manager, who was not in, and lady at front took my complaint but tried to defend it at first saying pink is normal, and clearly from pics it is not. I was given an apology and told she would relay complaint to chef. Not sure what other action will be taken to rectify the situation. I felt they should ve offered me a refund or voucher for the hassle. Given how expensive everything is nowadays, it sucks that I had to throw away the food and what I did eat before I realized it was raw could be end up making me and my family very stomach sick (hopefully not). This ruined my day. The chef or food preparation person needs better training and/or quality control, and staff needs to handle complaints better and more seriously so they can improve.

Food is good but I wish they would pay attention to cleanliness as well. The whole place is dirty, including the prayer area downstairs.

I tried two dishes, Nihari and the Patna Bihari Kabab. Although Nihari was amazing, it may be a bit spicy if you arent used to spicy desi food. I definitely enjoyed it. The Bibari Kabab was a but undercooked and hard to chew, which took away from the flavor a bit. The best item they had in my opinion was the Naan, Fresh, warm right out if the Tandoor, and a perfect combination of softness and crispness, it was some of the best Naan I have had in a while!

Probably the best tasting Pakistani food east side of Toronto, However, the place is very dirty, take one look in the kitchen and you will see, or just look at one of their sizzler plates, it looks like they never wash it, just keep burning the heck out of it, I hope you never have to use the washroom downstairs, you can get the whiff of that awful smell upstairs in the dining area if the basement door is left open. It s a shame that with such great tasting food, they don t have any concept about basic hygiene and cleanliness. Update July 30, 2023 : we decided to give this place another try thinking the things might be improved since all other restaurants are improving and modernizing, we were sadly mistaken, same dirty unorganized place, they now have a girl behind the counter who doesn t know the definition of customer service and courtesy, she is borderline rude, What a shame .

Well established restaurant with authentic food. We ordered the Nihari, which theyre known for, Naan, Seekh kabab, beef Biryani and Bihari kababs...great portions fed 4 hungry guys ..not the fanciest decor .but thats OK..you go there for the food...dont take anyone you need to inpress with fancy plates and IG worthy pics, take the non desi dude in your crew who likes spicy food and does the screwing in the light bulb move at weddings..

They used to serve good food but last couple of times it seems they served old food. Not recommend to go here. Thank you

We had ordered food from Patna Kebab House from the 1885 Lawrence Ave E, Scarborough, ON M1R 2Y3, for the official party and had called them 3 or 4 times and told them Mr. Rahat and Mr. Yaqoob that the food should be fresh and with very little chili because there will be some people with us who eat little or no chili spices. Even after requesting so many times, rotten chicken with bad smell and endless chillies, watery palak paneer with stale paneer, kebab also smelled rotten and chilli size was so small you could see it. This was also the reality of biryani. It is not so humane that the worker should at least open the door so that the box can be placed in the car. When he was asked why you have put the address of your other place on the receipt? he said that at this time we have the receipt of the same place, but the name of the restaurant is written in it. When I called to make a complaint, I wanted to talk to Rahat Sahab and Yaqoob, both are not in the hotel at that time. A woman said that we apologize for this mistake. Vegetarian options: Palak PANEER

The amount of oil used in the food is enough to power a small town. Used their services for catering a small event. The Palak paneer was terrible. Biryani was fine, the kebabs were fine, the naans were surprisingly good though. If naans overshadow all the dishes, it says a lot about the food. The food was nothing to write home about. Hoping their take this feedback seriously and do some quality checks. Vegetarian options: Terrible

I have tried Patna multiple times, I like the food but ambiance and cleanliness should be considered by management. I would appreciate if management work on it. Today it was 34 degree and there was not air conditioning at all. Their kitchen is also not clean, we once had roach in biryani and they did not even offer the new one. Her remarks were We will take of this next time , like seriously. So next time if you order Biryani tell them explicitly no roaches please. Don t order through Uber or DoorDash. This restaurant is only of dine-in.

Strange smell was In all over restaurant,chicken barbq was burned and from outside and raw from inside which is so bad for peoples health and it was not fresh at all the owner is greedy and serve old food to people ,very bad experience when we spend money we deserve better food rather than old and raw food

December 23, 2023

Today, Sept 11, 2023, as soon as I entered the restaurant I felt an unpleasant smell. There was nobody in the dinning hall and no one at the counter. Anyway, I ordered one Nihari and two naans for about $18- $19. The taste of Nihari was OK but I could see the blackish Nihari meat (boti). The naans were excellent. I would neither come to this restaurant again and nor would recommend it to anybody. One more thing while eating the Nihari, the flies were chasing our food from plate to mouth. It was awful

Have been ordering takeout from here for a while now and haven t had any problems so far. Just a small critique on the Butter Chicken. It s too sweet. I ll finish it don t get me wrong, we don t waste food in the household but today s BC left much to be desired. I do however appreciate that I can never go wrong when it comes to the Nihari and the other Kabab dishes. All in all a good place to get a quick lunch or dinner.

Best example of its hard to earn famous, but even harder to keep it. I was served cold meat biriyani today. I used to go this restaurant since 2018. Cleanliness was always a bad side. Taste was always good. But now they might be focusing something else. Likely they are discouraging dine-in. Thats why they served a cold meat biriyani ( weired is meat was cold, rice was hot) after 30 mins of taking my order. By this 30 mins they received call, took the order and served in front of me. I was waiting for long time and finally served weired biriyani. I am very familiar of their attitude. They dont care of what ppl are writing or telling about them. But i also know the owners are from very good muslim background. Dont you think what you earn become haram if you cheat with your customer?

Okayy, so where do I begin, heard so many good reviews of the Nihari, we decided to go pick up some of it and some naan for dinner. Naan was good, not your typical,more like a bread texture, but good! As for Nihari, asked the guy if it was mild or hot, he said its regular...the regular was a killer, we added lemon juice,added salt, added even extra water! It was ridiculously hot!!! We dont mind borderline tasty hot, but this was no taste, just hottt...literally felt like tongue and throats were on fire :/ They have to understand that not EVERYONE likes that level of heat,and if want to retain customers should cater to The General crowd, not Specific ones that can tolerate such heat in their food!! Sorry, but we are not coming back and would not recommend their food (Nihari,which we otherwise love and have bought from other places), to anyone!! By the way, we have little kids at home, had to make something else for them as they absolutely could not swallow even one bite
