This was my first time ordering today and I’m already in love. What you pay for you get that. I was craving chole bhature anx chicken tikka roll hence ordered from this place. Both were amazing. It’s not ur typical Delhi chole bhature but it different and good. I wanna go and try directly from the restaurant next time in woodbine beach. Thank you for sending delicious food

Wow! Just visiting the Beach as it's my old stomping grounds, was a local dentist for 35 yrs. Stopped in as a lark, I love Indian food and always wanting to try something new. The food was fantastic! Tasty, incredibly fresh, flavourful with just the right amount of requested spiciness. A huge portion so a great value. Loved the owner and his cook, really nice guys!! It's now my 'go to' place to eat in the Beach, can't wait for my next visit!

I had never explored the Beaches neighborhood before, but on a spontaneous walk with a friend from downtown, I ended up here—and I’m so glad I did! This area is filled with incredible restaurants, but Chowpatty Culture truly stands out. I first tried their mango lassi, and without a doubt, it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. You can taste the complexity of the spices, which sets it apart from the usual fare. It’s a level of flavor that most places seem to miss. Today, I finally had the chance to try their paneer Kathi roll, and it was just as impressive. The depth of flavor in the dish speaks for itself—you can tell it’s made with fresh ingredients and no shortcuts. Plus, the owner was incredibly welcoming, which made the experience even better.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Toronto. Great location, great food and great service. Must try the Amritsari Kulcha Plate and chai. Their new breakfast menu is amazing! For those who grew up in India, you'll get gharwala taste. For the rest, this is what real Indian food tastes like.

One of the cutest restaurant near woodbine beach. The food is absolutely amazing and so is the service. Everything came out so quickly and tasted so well. The best part is that they use high quality- non artificial ingredients. We tried thei tandoori chicken bowl which was so hearty and their chai samosa combo. Their Amritsar kulcha plate was very nice aswell. The patio is a great addition to enjoy the summers. We will definitely be visiting again.

It’s “Mindblasting” alright!! Just moved into the neighborhood and thought we would stop in and try some Indian food. We love Indian food and have eaten it all over the world on average 1 time a week. We ordered the Butter Chicken and Rice dinner to take home. I also ordered and paid for an additional order of white rice and chicken Samoas. Was extremely surprised when we got home and opened the bag and the white rice I ordered was not there. The rice and salad on the menu that comes with the Butter Chicken and Rice meal that we paid $15.99 for was also not in the bag. Checked my bill, we paid $35 for a single order of Butter Chicken, garlic naan and three samosas. The portions were very small and below average compared to what I’m used to. No cutlery in the bag. I can confidently say we will not be going back there especially after reading some of the additional 1 star reviews associated with Chowpatty. I’m notorious for giving five star reviews so it’s disappointing to me when you spend good money and don’t get what you’re expecting and it appeared to be 100% intentional as we were the only order in the restaurant at that time. There are way to many other good restaurants on Queen street to chose from. I look forward to finding a great Indian restaurant in the area to spend my money at.

Their Kathi rolls are amazing! I had the chicken tikka Kathi roll, excellent flavour and texture throughout. Unfortunately, they did not have mango lassi when I was there. The employee was very apologetic and she even offered me a small sample of pani puri water to try. The gulab jamun was slightly disappointing as it seemed to be missing the rose water and cardamom flavour.

They have probably the best kadak masala chai I have had, the general problem with chais are it s either overcooked or the masala over powers the taste - theirs is very balanced. I saw they had some other very interesting chai options that I d wanna try next time. We also got bun lamb qeema and mango lassi. I have never had ground lamb and I was pleasantly surprised that it didn t have the gamey after taste that can be present in some lamb dishes if it s not cooked right, the lassi is also in my top 3 list. Would definitely return to try more of their items.

I found this place walking around the beaches and the price drew me in and I had been having an amazing time visiting that I visited at least 4 more times within the same week. The food The food is exceptional, so many different varieties and even with the 4 times i had visited, I still have not tried everything in the menu. The food is exceptional for the price. I am a vegetarian and the chana masala has been the best chana masala i have ever had. The fries- wohoo that seasoning, it is one of the best i have ever tasted. They really put a lot of thought into the recipe which made the experience so wonderfully unique. The Service Management and staff had been amazing, I would sit there and feel like I am being served at a restaurant that would typically be serving an average plate price of $25-$40 per plate. Masala Chai I have replaced coffee with their Masala Chai. I am waiting to see if he can sell them by the bags because this Chai is a good replacement of coffee. Overall, I give this place full 5 stars. I look forward to going back again soon.

Food is lovely, service is horrible. Ordered the tikka Kathi roll. Went to sit outside and wait. 20 minutes later I walked back in to see what was taking so long and found the server sitting with some guy at a table. She got up, walked around the counter, packed up the food that was just sitting there and handed it to me. I won t mention the size of the roll.

We ordered: hakka noodles, butter chicken, chicken tikka, naan and the ghost pepper naan. Staff was really nice and very proud of their culture and food.

The vada pav was one of the best Ive had! Tastes very authentic and you can adjust the level of spice. The Karak chai was not as strong as I wouldve liked and I wish there was an option to add my own sugar, but that could be personal preference. The service was really good, the owner is really nice and gave great recommendations based on taste . Highly recommended

I have tried masala chai here. I was not impressed by the quality of cups as it was not able to handle chai properly. I almost got burnt by spill and the sleeve was also not fitting properly. The cap of cup was also not proper. However, chai was good. I will visit again to see them improve the packaging. I also felt they should mention in the menu, how much ml/quantity of chai will be there. Also, it was Mumbai s chowpatty restaurant but the music played was Punjabi. I was expecting some nice bollywood music. May be, I am expecting too much I don t know! Anyway, I will visit again hope things change! Edit in 2024: I visited again and the tea cup are upgraded! loved it. Good customer service! This time I tried Tandoori Kulcha and they were spot on.

Satisfying Juhu Beach Cravings in Toronto! If youre looking to relive the iconic Mumbai street food experience, Chowpatty Culture is the place to be! Just 2 minutes from Woodbine Beach, this spot perfectly captures the flavors of Juhu Beach right here in Toronto. We tried a range of dishes that transported us straight to Mumbai: - **Bhelpuri:** Bursting with sweet-sour chutneys, just like youd find on Juhu Beach. - **Dahipuri:** Perfectly balanced with creamy yogurt and tangy chutneys. - **Kanda Bhaji:** Crispy onion fritters served with fried green chillies a true street food delight. - **Vada Pav:** The ultimate Mumbai burger, authentic and satisfying. - **Butter Chicken Puffs:** A unique twist on Delhi s classic, blending the best of poutine and butter chicken. - **Tandoori Chicken Noodles:** Hakka-style noodles with a deliciously spicy twist. The Mumbai-themed ambiance, complete with local trains and dabbawalas, really brought back nostalgic memories. It felt like being back at Juhu Chowpatty, but in the heart of Toronto! Don t miss their **Unlimited Samosas & Chai Deal** just $11 for all you can eat samosas and chai, available daily from 2pm to 5pm. This is a deal you don t want to pass up! Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mumbai flavors with a Canadian twist. #WoodbineBeach #MumbaiVibes #TorontoEats #ChowpattyCulture

This is a beautiful small place, where you get authentic Indian food (not too spicy, and very flavourful). The restaurant owner is so kind and I believe that s the key to his good food. My favourite is Amritsari Kulcha which is very flavourful when eaten with pickle and the chickpea masala. He had other good stuff too. I tried butter chicken with naan and dahi puri, and they all were really good. I highly recommend this restaurant. Sometimes we eat dinner and go for a beach walk. It s a perfect evening place if you want to enjoy Indian food :)

One of the worst and terrible restaurant i have ever been to. It s unmanaged and the front desk girl is confused about everything and 0 customer handling skills. We ordered our food after waiting for 8 minutes and they said our food will be ready within 15 mins. But we waited for like 1 hour and when we asked them they said nothing is prepared. We ordered naan, chana masala and samosa. When i went to ask at the front, the girl said one minute every time. Had to refund the money because they told we haven t start to make anything . One of the customers also refunded before us. It was really frustrating.

We went here a few days ago because we were looking for vada pao and our usual place was closed . The food wasn t bad I won t lie but we paid 12 bucks for 2 vada pao which I felt was a little over priced . The food was served in disposable plates which also I did not appreciate and the floor was fairly dirty compared to the restaurant that was absolutely empty . The kucha was nice but would I pay 16 or 17 bucks for disposable and 1 kulacha maybe not I guess . I know it s new new so I hope they do improve and we can give them another chance ! All the best !

My take out wrap was pretty tasty, but I thought I ordered a bowl and naan but didn t realize the mistake until I got home. I never order any kind of wrap or sandwich. So overall it was disappointing, even if it was a communication issue. Make sure you check your order before you pay for it. Loved the mural.

Hands down one of the best Indian Street food lve tried in a while now! Their chat papri is so incredible, the papri is fresh and made of suji - a rare thing to find in Toronto. The Amritsari kulcha was piping hot and delicious. Will certainly be going back as want to try everything on their menu. The service was super friendly as well.

Would not recommend going there. We went there after seeing their ratings but they are not worth the hype. Food was not good with very less quantity. We ordered chowmein but the noodles were less and veggies more.They didn t even gave us cutlery. Not worth it.

December 23, 2023

Went there to pick up 1 Naan. Upon being asked if I wanted any curry lamb as it was on the dialy specials outside on their sign I thought why not. To my disappointment the Naan was horrible and soggy. But worse was the lamb. I paid $4 for the Naan and then $20 (a total of over $27) for this bland lamb curry that had 4 pieces of lamb in it. I did a double take when I looked at the bill, when I got home Worse is that the main course meals are cheaper than what I paid for the lamb alone. Definitely seems like the cashier is trying to pocket money I dont recommend this place to anyone. They either scam you out of your money or disappoint you with the food. Stick to the bazaar on Gerrard street

I asked for a recommendation on which vegetarian curry to order. The staff recommended the Chana Masala. It was $15 for the curry with some rice and it was not good. There were no fresh ingredients in the Chana, just spices and chickpeas. No fresh tomatoes or onion or anything in it. It was also overly spiced, almost gritty. I will not go there again.

I don t remember the names of these dishes I ordered, but they were delicious! The service was very friendly and fast. I loved those little crunchy pods of goodness and I could probably eat 50 of those! I was also recommended the potato stuffed roti/naan (I m sorry I forget the name of it), and was very happy with it! It reminds me of roti canai from Malaysia. So flakey and piping hot! Prices were also very reasonable and portions are more than enough. Will definitely go back to try other dishes. A little hidden gem that deserves more attention on Queen east!

Amazing service, generous portions, unique atmosphere, and organic juices and lemonade. And thats just the start of a great experience at this fantastic find! First of all, the location. Steps from the Beaches and Kew Gardens, this Indian restaurant with its unusual name - the name of a famous beach in Mumbai - this quaint restaurant has a good mix of take-out, dine-in and patio traffic, good for every need and occasion. Then theres the food. It has tons of options for everyones tastes: butter chicken, samosas, chais, lassis, the BEST naan, vegetarian options galore, and more. I went for the butter chicken curry and rice bowl - and found it to be perfect. With a side of plain naan, I found myself stuffed in short order - and had half of it to bring home for later. Finally, there is the staff. Ripu Singh and his team made the visit fantastic with quick, polite service, helpful suggestions for those of us who were unsure, and made it feel like we were family stopping by to chat, not customers. I will be looking forward to my next visit here, as there are so many different things I want to experience.

Revised: the owner reached out and rectified the situation. Not many establishments go out of their way to do that. Thanks chowpatty culture! -------------------------------- We ordered a beef curry and butter chicken for takeout. The cost of the two currys plus a naan came to $46 with tax and tip. I understand the cost of food has gone up, but for nearly $15, a curry should have more than 3 small pieces of meat. That was what we got with each curry. The curry itself was also watery. Disappointing, and will go elsewhere to satisfy our curry craving. Happy to support local but not when the quality of food is this poor.

Was craving for chaat and reached here. Boy, we loved it. It s a new joint as owner explained, 2 months old. They already have lots of good reviews that led us here. We tried Aloo Tikki Chaat and that was probably one of the best we had in recent times. Very soft Tikki and optimum masala to go with it. Bombay Grill Sandwich was super too expect that it was on sesame bread which was slightly hard than the usual sandwich bread. It tasted superb. We couldn t resist to get chhole parcel to enjoy later. Totally recommend.

December 23, 2022

Ordered wings to pick up. I didnt receive a call about them not having them. They didnt tell me in the restaurant either. They just replaced my meal with pasta which I only realised once I had arrived home and opened the container. The pasta was also really over done. So it tasted like I could have gone to a supermarket and bought some cheap microwave pasta instead. Im not sure how they can reason replacing an entire main course with something else and not at least phone the customer. Every restaurant Ive ever seen run out of something in Toronto has phoned. Edit: They said that I had accepted the change on Doordash but I never had any change request come up. It was just changed automatically. A simple quick call to explain is basic customer service. The restaurant was empty when I went past and went back.

There is definitely a consistency issue at this place. Recently ordered a pav bhaji and paneer roll (regular order) both turned out to be hugely disappointing. Bhaji was super watery (please don t take the order if you are out of stock). Roll was clearly wrapped in a naan base (very thick than usual) instead of a typical maida/wheat chapatti. Again I am a regular and have high expectations from this place but it s the second time I have been served inconsistent food. I would still encourage you to try this place as their quality and taste is usually spot on.
