Worst in terms of quality and quantity. The biryani was more like a chicken pulao an the quantity was half of what other restaurants give. Avoid this place at all costs. I ordered food while staying at Novotel, Esplanade Toronto. This was my worst decision and I should have rather chosen the dine in of Novotel.

The restaurant is TOP-NOTCH. We were here on a weekday, and yet the staff was super amazing and warm! We were hosted by Myra and she made sure that we get the best service and everything else! It was my birthday, and so they gave us a super-cute complimentary dessert- their amazing Rasmalai! And a great cherry on the top - IT IS SUPER AFFORDABLE!

First time at Barkat and it was beyond expectations! All the food, and we tried a variety, was comforting and perfectly spiced. The presentation was great too! The ambiance is cozy and elegant—perfect for a halal comfort spot on Queen St W. We tried the non-veg options, which included the butter chicken, beef vindaloo, biryani, mom’s chicken curry—as well as weekend/brunch options, which was the Amritsar kulcha and chur chur naan. We also had chai, which was a bonus item that was also SO good! We also ordered dahi puri and tandoori momos, which are a new favourite. Also, the service was amazing! Super helpful and accommodating and personable. Will definitely come back, just will be mindful of remembering the gratuity charge next time. :) Pictured is the Amritsari aloo kulcha served with chana masala. Second photo is mom's chicken curry with garlic naan (top) and chur chur naan served with daal makhni and raita.

The food at Barkat was really incredible. Ordered for 2 people: - Kerala Meen Moilee - Paneer Kale Saag - 2 Tandoori Roti - 1 Garlic Naan - 1 Mint Laccha Paratha - Raita - Chai We had a really decent amount of leftovers. The entrees were reallyyy good. The paneer saag was the perfect balance of creamy and green. The coconut in the moilee was subtle, making the whole dish delicious. The naan and paratha's had a bit too much butter on them but they were still really good. The chai was okay. The service left a little to be desired. Would definitely dine there for the entrees though. If you live close and are willing to heat up the food on the stove, I'd even get takeout.

Amazing Dining Experience! I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I must say, the food was nothing short of spectacular. Both the chicken and fish dishes are absolute must-tries—perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and seasoned to perfection. The staff was incredibly polite and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. A special mention goes to Sandip for his exceptional hospitality; he really made us feel welcome and taken care of. One important tip—be sure to make your reservations ahead of time. The place is always packed, and it's easy to see why with food this good. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this spot. Totally worth it . Food is super delicious and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Talking about the ambiance one of the best in city. Chef ravneet is an amazing chef who has given an amazing modern twist with an authentic taste to the indian food. Taking it to the next level, loved the presentation, tatse and overall looks of the food. Highly recommend their brunch menu always stands out for me. My fav has to be their dahi gol gappe as well as the amritsari kulcha. Also dont miss their hakka menu man its with it tandoori momos and delhi style hakka Chinese All in all an amazing place would definitely recommend for special occasions and get together.

Heard about this restaurant for its great service and flavourful dishes, visited in a Friday for dinner with the In Laws . It was quite full when we arrived and were greeted with welcoming smiles. The service was fantastic throughout our time there with all team members quite attentive and professional. We started with paneer tikka & Kali Miri chicken tikka, both were grilled to perfection and succulent. For our dinner we ordered Dal Tadka, Paneer Tikka Masala, Mutton Korma with Garlic Naans & Mint Laccha Parathas. Each dish was made superbly well, great flavour and well presented. The breads were perfectly cooked in a tandoor. They have a full bar and we enjoyed our Scotch as well as Vodka drinks !

For those who don t know, the name Barkat in Hindi language means prosperity/blessing & let me just begin by saying that dining at Barkat has been a blessing in itself! First time visited this place for a Birthday Dinner on a Monday night & this is everything I thought; Upon entering Barkat one thing you will notice is (post sundown) the ambiance - super cozy & romantic, yet super inviting! The moody ceiling lights really does the trick & a couple of steps in you will be greeted by the MOST, I repeat THE MOST welcoming/cordial & extremely warm person named Maira! Her ever so smiling face & greeting assures you that you have stepped into the right place & needless to say, the experience will be amazing! So to start with we were given complimentary Veg. Manchow Soup (Hakka cuisine), that literally hit the spot when it comes to on rainy/snowy nights in Toronto. While they have a very diverse menu, we inquired with Maira and took her recommendations for dinner & OH BOYY!! Everything she recommended was absolutely bombdotcom; Kali Miri Chicken Tikka ($18.99) - 10000/10000 the chicken was super succulent and tender but the creamy marination was just WOW! Low-key I thought this was better than what you would get in India, I kid you not! Amritsari Fish Tikka ($17.99) - 9999/10000 the fish is freshly marinated and deep fried like a pakora and garnished with spicy mango salsa! SO SO GOOD!!! Malai Kofta ($18.99) - 100000/100000 BEST MALAI KOFTA EVER! Read that again! Because this was so so so good! Like I could eat it ANY given day but more so WAYYY better than what you get in India!! Laccha Paratha ($6.00)+ Tandoor Roti ($5.00)- You cannot go wrong with either of the Indian breads but my personal favourite has to be the Laccha Paratha! Absolutely HEAVEN!! BEST! Gulab Jamun with Rabri ($12.99) - 9999/10000 - This was just a perfect way to finish your meal. The rabri was my favourite!! To sum up my experience, I would strongly recommend visiting Barkat and trying everything Maira recommends because you can t go wrong with her choice! We absolutely loved the food but more so, Myra s energy that really makes your experience dining at Barkat so much more worthwhile :)

TL; Dr - Was good, now bad. Do not recommend. Seems like they are milking the high rating at this point. Have visited this place several times, and have consistently seen it go downhill over the last 3 months. So updating my review. Review in December 2024 - looking for MOULDY food, DIFFERENT PRICES of items on the same menu, and kitchen where they didnt seem to wear hairnets? Look no further - this is your one-stop solution. Item 1 - Upon sitting down, you are greeted with bottled water, didnt realize that I had to pay for it until I explicitly asked the server. Very demure. The napkins were interesting to say the least. Item 2 - Ordered Pav bhaji and a curry with naan. The naan and curry were pretty ok but the pav bhaji is where the nightmare began. There was mould on it, I asked what it is, the server took it to the back and told me it was bean sauce but replaced it. Later she said that the pav did go bad and they will give a complaint to their supplier. Imagine if you could blame everything bad on your suppliers and not have any QA. The server later says that we can offer you a complementary pav. The audacity. Review in May 2024 (leaving it here cz I wanna ensure people realize this place used to be good.) - If you are looking for an up-scale desi restaurant with amazing food options, beautiful ambience, and courteous staff, this is the place to be. The food is a bit more on the pricey side, but the service makes up for it, imo.

December 16, 2024

Great food, garlic naan was top tier and the daal we had was great. The chicken tikka was a little light on the chicken but tasted great. Giving the atmosphere a 2 because while it was nice inside the restaurant was 64 degrees f aka 17/18 c. Idk if there was an issue with the heat but if so they should have said something. That s a super cold temperature for a restaurant in the winter.

Poor service Seems like lot of cost cutting, on a weekend just 2 family members doing the run around, pathetic... Took lot of time for getting the order. Hope it was freshly Made , cheese didnt seem fresh.. Starters were good, thats why 2 star Place is so cold as door opens quite frequently , need to fix that for their customers comfort if they care irrespective of the winter full on ornot ,cold feels cold even its not - temp yet. They give preference to Uber eats than their customers sitting inside. Frozen food options I know where to get from. You.pls tk cr of your So Called Fresh.Made food. Food 1 star. Service 0 star Environment-0 Wont visit again

Food was pretty fine, and service by Maira was neat. Only reason not fully satisfied as I was charged 7$ for two tiny water bottles which I didn t even ask. When questioned, they say it s default and everyone has to pay. Not a good practice, Barkat. Not coming back.

Really disappointed with the experience we had at this restaurant. The food was average and the service was more than disappointing. They have signs up outside where they offer FREE masala chai if you spend $30 till 7 pm, we asked to try it well before 6:30 pm and were told that they don t offer it anymore. While clearing out the table the server dropped curry on my clothes, did not even apologize and I had to ask for napkins to clean it. Please improve your customer service and remove the advertisement if you can t offer that. Plus food wasn t great either so it s really not worth coming here.

On a busy Sunday afternoon, there was only one server running around for everything. All the tables were full. You guys need to have more staff and provide a better service. 20 mins to place an order and then half an hour more to actually get anything on the table.

We were once devoted patrons of this establishment until an incident during my wifes birthday celebration in June irreversibly tainted our experience. I informed Abish of the occasion, and he assured us of a special surprise. When a gulab jamun with rabri arrived at our table, I naturally assumed it was a complimentary gesture befitting the celebration. Imagine my astonishment when, upon reviewing the bill, I discovered a $20 charge for this so-called surprise. Although I paid the bill, which exceeded $200 with gratuity, the added fee felt like an insidious slight, not merely a monetary grievance but a breach of trust and integrity. This deceptive tactic was a stark violation of principle, prompting my decision to sever ties with this establishment for good.

We had a very disappointing experience at Barkat tonight. Despite hearing good things about the place, our visit was marred by poor service and lack of attention to customers. To begin with, we had to call our server four-five times just to place our order. It seemed like we were constantly trying to get her attention, and when we finally managed to order, things didn t get any better. After serving our food, she completely forgot about us no follow-up, no offer of water, and not even a single question about how the food was. The service further deteriorated when we ordered extra bread. We waited for an additional 20 minutes, and even then, they didn t arrive until we enquired. When we asked about the delay, the staff casually brushed it off, saying that they were busy and that 20 minutes was the standard wait time for bread. This response was unacceptable and showed a complete disregard for customer satisfaction. Overall, the inattentive service and dismissive attitude left a sour taste. I would not recommend Barkat if you re looking for a pleasant dining experience, as there are many other Indian restaurants in the city that treat their patrons with far more respect and professionalism.

I ordered something to takeout quickly.They offered free food out of courtesy,as i was in rush but i insisted very much to pay for it . Then they let me pay for it. The food was great, service was fast, ambience was great and owner was really kind. I felt like i am still in Punjab and Punjab is still in heart of punjabi people living away from Punjab. I loved their hospitality and kindness.

I ve been a regular customers for more than a year , and everytime I dined in i was always had mutton biryani , but today my expectations was let down by a lot , as the rice had zero flavours , there were no layers of spices between the rice , the dish was cold there were literally 3 pieces of mutton which was not even tender . Me and partner always used to cherish and enjoy at barkat but today we left with a bad experience, I hope it will improve after this review .

I am little disappointed with the taste of the dishes from this restaurant. My wife and I tried Mewai Maans (Mutton) , Tandoori Roti , Mutton Biriyani and Kali Miri Chicken Tikka. The Tandoori Roti was deep fried and was like a papad.. Mewari Maans and Biriyani were pretty average taste. The only saving grace was Kali Miri Chicken Tikka. I dont think we will dine in here again..

I ordered the thali from Barkat through Uber Eats, and I was extremely disappointed. The food had no flavor, no taste whatsoever, and was simply disgusting. For the price I paid, I expected something decent, but this was a complete waste of money. I definitely wouldn t recommend ordering from here, and I won t be coming back. Save your time and money and try somewhere else.

We went to Barkat on a Saturday night. We already had reservations. We ordered: 1. Palak Patta Chaat: 9/10 > It tastes like Palak Pakoda chat and very tasty. 2. Aloo Tikki Sliders: 10/10 > Must have. Tikki is delicious. 2 pieces per plate. 3. Kali Miri Soya Chaap: 9/10 4. Veg Korma: 9/10 5. Paneer Lababdar: 9/10 6. Garlic Naan, Mirchi Naan and Tandoori Roti: 8/10 > Naans could have been better. Due to high rush, no lachha paranthas were available. 7. Gulab Jamun with Rabri: 10/10 => Must have. 3 pieces per plate. All the items were really tasty. Even the presentation was great. On top of that, the ambience was beautiful. Service staff was amazing. They do charge 18% automatic gratuity for large groups. Also the food portions are bit small. Overall, it s expensive as compared to other restaurants but worth it IMO.

Had a great dinner here with my group of 4 recently. The ambiance hit just right - cozy enough for a proper catch-up while keeping things lively. The menu is extensive, so come hungry and ready to explore! The standout starter was definitely their samosas. They come drizzled with this amazing creamy sauce that pairs nicely. We decided to share our mains family-style, the portions were generous enough that splitting worked well for our group. If its someones birthday, the staff goes all out with a celebration song on the speaker - Be ready to share the spotlight. Overall, solid spot for a group dinner. The foods tasty, the vibe is good, and the shared plates gave us something to talk about when the conversation went dry.

The food was amazing Kaali Miri soya chaap , paneer lababdaar, garlic naan , paani puri , and my friends also ordered butter chicken , chilli chicken, butter naan and one mutton dish I don t remember the name but everything was delicious. The owner was super nice , as soon as he realized that we were there for a birthday party , he told us he is sending something and trust me those Dahi Puri s were mind blowing , I never liked Dahi Puri but I think I kinda love it now Thank You Barkat keep doing well I ll be back Ambience - Food - Service -
