Refurbishing a church into an ISKCON temple was a nice touch. The aarti and prashad on Sundays make me feel at home here in downtown.
One of the most serene and positive places I've visited in Toronto. The atmosphere is so tranquility and mediative anyone who visit just want to sit there for hours. Everyone is welcomed there irrespective of their beliefs. Must visit on any Indian festival. To its full glory. The volunteer and people there are so kind and helpful.

We visited the Hare Krishna ISKCON Temple in Toronto during Janmashtami, there were notable issues with crowd management. After 2.5 hrs in the queue we gave up on entering the place. The temple seemed overwhelmed by the large number of devotees, resulting in long waiting times and congestion. Better planning and organization are needed to handle such large gatherings. Improved crowd control measures would significantly enhance the overall experience.
It was such a peaceful experience. It cannot just be expressed in words about how we feel. There is Bhajan and there are also many religious books you can find there. On Sundays they also serve Prasad, which is so good.
I went to ISKCON temple in Toronto for the first time on the eve of Janmashtami and was very impressed with the festive atmosphere that was on. There was a gathering of almost 2K people and everything was extremely well maintained. The architecture of the temple is very beautiful. And, the decoration made it look lovelier.. they even had boxed prasadam for every devotee! Whether you are looking for festivity or bliss… ISKCON will never disappoint and the temple in Toronto is no exception.
A calm and divine temple in the downtown of Toronto. Well maintained. Very tasty and affordable foods in the adjoining restaurant
ISCKON temple is a beautiful and serene place. The architecture is stunning, with intricate carvings and lovely sculptures. The grounds are well-kept, creating a peaceful atmosphere perfect for meditation and reflection. I highly recommend visiting ISCKON temple for anyone seeking peace and spiritual connection.
The whole place is super soothing and you will be relaxed after visiting here.
Peaceful and divine!! Went early morning to Aarti on Saturday, there wasnt much of a crowd.
Please set up solid system with help of Government to lift all the Hindus from Bangladesh as refugees and help them to settle down this is the time temple has to come forward if this seva would be missed then it will discourage people and wont stand with temple in case of emergency
Beautiful Temple Well maintained and friendly pandits
The place is so energetic. We friends felt it.
Great temple
Jai Shri Krishna
Wow
This particular day was a week-day,but a Commemorating Day of a great sage,whose copy is now located in the temple.This person was the founder of the Hare Krishna Society,now well-known all over the world for its philosophical,social and cultural impact on modern society s spiritual needs
Peaceful and inspiring ambiance, the set menu is always so tasty and flavourful. I would like to see more veggies to balance the menu as everything is starchy., however, good. Service is always good. The price is very reasonable and there is no cash. Thank you.
Really peaceful place
Nice place
Really good place and positive aura.
Neat clean and a great spiritual experience
Jay Shree Krishna
A large Hindu temple, there is a vegetarian restaurant where you can eat delicious food
It becomes pleasure
Lovely place, full of rude people. They spoil the ambience. It does not feel like a temple when you have rude people at the front desk who get combative when you ask them a simple question. Their Janamashtami celebration is also extremely disorganized and rushed. Exit doors are randomly shut so no one can get out, but probably are being hurried by volunteers to keep moving. Not criticizing the Iskcon institution, but if anyone reads this, please go there with a positive conscience and be kind to others. Hare Krishna.
Sublime
Hare Krishna You will definitely find peace at this place. Visited on
Soothing and calming
place.
Peaceful place for everyone. Hare Rama , Hare Krishna.
I came here after reading the reviews, but when I arrived I found out that it was restructured into a restaurant and open to the public. Then I searched again and paid for a Hindu exhibition. Because my understanding of this religion was limited, and I was on my next trip to the museum, I didn t go inside to explore it. After all, it s a historic building, so it s a good mood to take photos.
Its beautiful
only place in toronto where i find peace in the presence of Shree Krishan
Good experience, at rakhi , the atmosphere is very positive and very energetic, hare krishna
The experience is magical. Must visit Sunday program.
