Marigold Indian Bistro in Toronto

Tried lachha paratha and shahi paneer. It was amazing.

Vegetarian options: Amazing eggplant bharta and saag paneer! Food

Excellent food and excellent service! I love family owned restaurants.

Best aloo kulcha and chicken biryani

Im a regular for there dinner for two. pick up a bottle of wine and your set. Cheers !

Amazing food and super friendly staff. Definitely my #1 choice for Indian food in the city!

The owner here is very nice and humble. Their Lamb Chops are the best. This place is excellent.

I get takeout from here and if never disappoints. And their delivery service is excellent also.

Love this restaurant. Will come back . Susan is awesome was polite and have good attitude .

Good Food, great service and calm place.

Good taste

Too loud !

Incredibly sweet butter chicken, closer to a dessert and Im not even exaggerating (i hope it was a mistake because honestly I cant believe how sweet it was). Weird choice of garnishing Paneer tikka masala with green onions (?), lack depth and very salt forward. Possibly the most disappointing Indian food Ive had in the city. Samosas were great though and naan was good as well.

It s good

I love this restaurant. I have been several times now and the food and service are always amazing! My go to meal is chicken thika masala and garlic naan bread. It s a must try restaurant!

Wonderful midtown Indian restaurant. We went with our 5 year old and ordered our favourite dishes: mild butter chicken and saag paneer with naan. Flavours were outstanding and naan was so fresh and tasty. Mild was truly mild which is important for kids. Staff were very warm & friendly and prices were fair. Tipping options on the credit machine go from 5% to 18% as they should. We look forward to coming back for another dinner. Vegetarian options: Like other Indian restaurants, plenty of vegetarian options. Kid-friendliness: Mild dishes are actually mild. My son was given a free dessert.

Very good food and reasonable pricing. Owner is very customer caring.

This small Indian bistro is a neighborhood gem that Ive visited a few times now. Attentive and pleasant service, and youll be hard pressed to find anywhere else that serves more tender or flavourful chicken kebabs. Delish!

My husband and I love to order the dinner for two menu option! We like to try different vegetable and meat dishes and have enjoyed every dish we have tried so far including the appetizers (samosas, onion bhaji, and pakoras) that come with the dinner! The appetizers are so well made, and some of our favourite main dishes are the chilli chicken, lamb korma, and vegetable curry! This restaurant is our top spot for Indian and Hakka food in our Davisville and Mt Pleasant neighbourhood especially for takeout! The staff is always friendly and timely with our food pickup order. Once you try it, you ll definitely be back for more!

Food is supah good and big portions

What a gem in midtown! Im so glad Ive found this restaurant, its walking distance from my place so Im kinda obsessed. Their goan fish curry is amazing and they have so many fish options, which is rare. The curry is super rich with an explosion of flavors!

Good food great service nice staff, even though they are not professional but still doing better job. Thanks to the young who did great service

Vegetarian options: They have a lot of good vegetarian options with desired spice levels. Food

Great food

Amazing food. So rich in flavours. The service was wonderful. Their staff is very kind and humble. Overall the quality was truly exceptional.

The Tandori Paneer for appetizers was the star of the whole meal

The chicken tiki masala was fantastic, and so was the service. I also ordered the butter chicken, and for my personal taste, it tasted more like tomato soup with chicken rather than butter chicken. This was my first time ordering it, so this was just my overall thought

Good service by grisma. Must visit.

Absolutely excellent quality, generous portions, and exceptionally delicious. Very much enjoyed our takeout order and will definitely return to try more from the menu!

Great food and great place - weve been regulars for 3 years now :-) Vegetarian options: A full vegeterian menu Dietary restrictions: Accomodated our allergies Parking: Nexy door Kid-friendliness: High chairs, and several dishes to choise from Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible

Oh my god is this food great. Ive been there multiple times and order the dinner for 2. Its a great price for a la carte ordering and there are always leftovers to take home. GO EAT THIS FOOD. You be glad you tried it. The only thing I would like to ask is that they played some music during the dinner hour as the place get a bit mausoleum like when its too quiet. Vegetarian options: the Veg Sashi Korma is amazing.

Not a great food, bad service, long waiting time

Great Indian food, can improve customer service by updating accurate timings online

Dinner for four was such a treat for my daughter s birthday! Thank you the thoughtful touches it is greatly appreciated.

I m writing this review after ordering from them for at-least 20 times. The food is great and must say its far better than all Indian restaurants nearby.

This is my go to place in the neighborhood. The food is delicious, consistent and they go above and beyond to ensure great service.

The most disgusting food I ever had. It has made me sick - I am vomiting and nauseated.

Butter chicken sauce was very sweet and tasted like canned tomato sauce. Asked for extra butter chicken sauce and they sent only sauce, no chicken at all...zero Peas palao rice had lots of raisins, never seen that before, not good. Nann/kachumber salad was very good.

My favourite restaurant.Nice service, nice people and fantastic food. One of my favourite indian restaurant.

This is one of our absolute favorite Indian restaurants of all time! Fantastic meal, food is delicious. Delivered quickly and still nice and warm

I was craving for Momo and decided to go there. The momo is so good and juicy. Would love to go there again and definitely recommend to try momo and coke.

We were there last night Food was great as always They gave us best service and very reasonable price Will go back for sure Food : 5/5 |

Ordered takeout and was not satisfied with the quality. Butter chicken tasted like sour milk, aloo gobi tasted like watered down tomato juice, and the naan was too soft and chewy. I would recommend checking out other restaurants instead.

Ordered takeout, great food! Had chicken tikka masala - a little more tomatoey than others I ve had. Korma was phenomenal! Naans are great, very large. 1 rice ordered and it could have served 4 people

I ordered food via ubereats and all the dishes were spot on..tasty and large size portions. The tandoori prawns are so delicious!!

I recently dined at Marigold Indian Bistro, and it was an absolute delight. The food was incredible, each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the top-notch service. The staff was attentive and friendly. The overall experience was fantastic, making it a place Id highly recommend for anyone who especially appreciates Indian food and excellent hospitality.

I lived here for a year, they re just 8 stores away from me and I m actually so upset it s my first time eating their food. It was absolutely DELICIOUS.

Taste 8/10

The best butter chicken.love it thank you

The decor of the restaurant is good but the food is even better.

Great customer service. Delicious food.

Ambien is so chill, great atmosfere for dinner nights.

The staff service here is top notch, and we love all the different foods we have tried. Also, we highly recommend the Chai tea!!!

We ordered two things Somosa Chat and Paneer Tikka. Samosa Chat was very sour the curd and chutneys everything aas so sour and salty. And paneer tikka was okay as it was very bland.

I just ordered the butter prawn dish on uber eats and Im super disappointed by the quality of the dish. As soon as I opened it I knew it would be bad, it didnt have the color and consistency of butter sauce. It was a deep red and runny like a tomato sauce and there were only 5 prawns in my dish. I took two bites and I had to throw away the whole dish as it was sooooo sweet it was overloaded with sugar. It had no other spices and certainly not a lick of butter or curry paste. Its basically tomato juice with seafood, barf! If I was dining in, Id send this dish right back to the kitchen an walk out. Im super annoyed as I had ordered during lunch and now Ill have to stay hungry until I finish work. Please dont dupe customers who are ordering online with dishes you dont know how to make. I feel scammed and hangry. UGH!

Had awesome food after a long time with their mesmerizing Butter chicken accompanied with the Kashmiri naan bread and the lamb biriyani, the taste was unique to the core. I strongly recommend to try out this place for the proper authentic Indian cuisine.

We ordered dahi papdi chaat and they gave us with old papdi to an extent where it was smelling and yogurt used was really sour. When we told them they replaced the dish with apparently a better version but it was like 20% better. I fell sick after I came home because of the old papdi. Three stars because their service was nice.

Good and Tasty good, I ordered several times from them through uber eats. Must try kulcha

I absolutely loved the food and ambiance of this place. Their service might be a little slow but the server was very nice and polite. Overall, good Indian food.

Best service. Best food

Perfect Authentic Indian food in the neighbourhood. Excellent Customer Service and Good place all around. Could not have asked for anything better.

Great take away indian. Needed a little bit more flavor but above the usual toronto quality. Reasonably priced.

Since the pandemic have only had the take out and I am thrilled with the consistently great food. Yummy! The staff are very helpful on suggestions for new dishes to try and can say with certainty that I ve enjoyed every dish I have tried. Thank you Marigolds, for being in my top 5.

This is my go to place for Indian Food in the neighbourhood. Throughout the pandemic, I ordered food from there - Rogan Josh is my favourite, all kinds of Chicken curries. Dined in recently with a friend and had Goan Fish Curry and Rogan Josh, both delicious. Their menu is quite extensive. I really should try their appetizers. Its a quiet place. Cozy and clean. Service is good. Takeout is always ready when they say it would be. Vegetarian options: They have a sizeable vegetarian section

Placed an order for pickup and the service was superfast. The staff was courteous as well. The veg. samosas are truly the best in Toronto. Well done !! Food : 5/5 |

Just incredible

Happened to stumble upon this restaurant and had an amazing experience. Since then has been our go to restaurant. We love their food.

Authentic taste of India. Hats off

Amazing ambiance! Enjoyed the Aloo chaat and samosa. Definitely recommended for all Indians

I never had such a tasty biriyani ever. 5 start for food and service.

Hi, Nov 30 (8:00-8:30), I was having bit of cold and running nose, I was badly searching for chicken hot and sour Indian taste, I called up the Indian Bistro, Chef said I will do it even if it was not in Menu, Trust me the I did not expect that to be this good. Loved it. Thanks for making my experience pleasent. we will for sure visit you for lunch or dinner sometime.

Vegetarian options: I ordered veg biriyani, tandoori chicken and butter chicken The food was ready right on time and they were so generous to give me extra raita for the biryani. Havent tasted such a good biryani for so long. Would definitely recommend to taste biryani and tandoori chicken specially.

Tried biryani and smosas , so delicious . Best food in the town .

We ve ordered here a few times and the portions are great for sharing. Lots of great flavourful vegetarian options and mild enough that my toddler was also able to enjoy it.

This was my first time ordering from Marigold I ordered several dishes with 2 based on other reviews. All dishes were excellent with large servings and lots of big chunks of lamb/chicken/ shrimp Delivery was actually a little early from estimated window of time. Easy on line ordering Lots of wonderful menu choices I would highly recommend this restaurant and I am so happy I found it located in my neighborhood I will be a loyal customer and return in the near future UPDATE Took my family to Marigold dine in and had a wonderful birthday party Our server was very helpful and attentive. The food was as awesome as it has been before. Several of my guests are very Indian food experienced and we all LOVED EVERYTHING The atmosphere was also very pretty and tranquil A+++++++++++++++!!!!!!!

Tastiest indian food restaurant in the neighbourhood. Our go to place for kadhai paneer and naan. They always send a small pack of dessert with each order which is cute. This place never disappoints.

Beautiful place! The decor, the food, the service, and in general everything here deserves praise.

The food was amazing. It was really tasty and unique. I really love the atmosphere of the restaurant it was pleasant and happy.

Recently, I ordered alu gobi, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and naan (tandoori flat bread) from this restaurant. I really enjoyed the taste and delicacy of the items. Food was fresh and aromatic of Indian species. Wow! I really recommend to try once if you like Indian dishes.

The Food was really awesome!!!

everything is nice

Weve been ordering from Marigold on and off for a couple years. We were surprised at recent changes when we got our order last night and then saw on the updated menu that it is under new management. I have to say it is even better than before! I swear the portion sizes are bigger. Ordered chicken Biryani, butter chicken, saffron rice, veg pakoras. They also tossed in a free raita and rice pudding! Everything is truly excellent and plenty leftover to eat today for lunch.

Since the new owner has taken over, the flavours and the food quality has improved 100%! This is my tenth visit and I am still very impressed with every dish that I have savoured so far. I recommend everyone to come and taste for yourself. Job well done! You have made me a believer in how true authentic quality should taste like. Cheers and see you again next week!

Delicious food with generous portions.

The best Indian restaurant in the town! Try it.... Delicious and homely food experience....

Marigold has always been one of my favourite Indian restaurant in Toronto. Apparently, management has recently changed. Love the delicious flavours and the generous portions.

Waooooo!!! one of the best Indian restaurant. The food is exceptionally good. Also, prices are great too! Highly recommended.

We got the combo dinner for 2 and it came with so much food!!! Everything was so delicious, and I would go so far as to say the samosas it comes with were some of the best Ive ever had. The filling was so flavourful. I definitely recommend this place! Such a great deal for great food.

Loved the food and Ambience.

Best butter chicken in the house !! Highly recommend garlic naans , soft and freshly made..loved it !! Great customer service ....

Every thing we ordered was simply amazing. Dont forget to order chicken curry and kulfi when you are there.

Food is tasty the delivery was a bit slow tough

Always find their food to be consistently delicious and flavorful. Customer service is friendly and helpful .

We live nearby, and are always on the hunt for good Indian food in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOW. MARIGOLD now is leaps and bounds better recently! (based on a previous review, it appears to be due to new owner. Previously, we had tried it several times, but werent happy with it under previous owner/chef.) Wow...what a change in taste and food quality! The daal is bright and flavorful, naan soft and fresh, meat tender, vegetables vibrant, and sauces with lots of flavour but without being soaked in oil, appetizers crispy and amazing samosas. Other options in the area include Khau Gully, TYC, Indian Street food company, Kama Sutra, Copper Chimney. We now prefer the new Marigold over the above.

Edit: I mixed up my orders. I had placed the order described below over the phone. The ritual order I had placed was decent enough except they missed one item as the reply below mentions Ordered ritual pickup from here and definitely would not do so again. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. However the curries that I had ordered were so artificial tasting . I m unsure how to describe it in words but the butter chicken was almost like it was bought in a can. Bland, full of tomato sauce and nothing else. The fish curry was also just heaps of tomato sauce and nothing else.

Amazing customer service!! The food is great as well!!! Wow!!! I will definitely order food again!!!

Absolutely fantastic. We have tried so many different Indian restaurants in Toronto and this one is by far our favourite. Food is excellent and the service is second to none. Cant recommend this highly enough.

nice and very tasty food .

Today i ordered veg sahi korma , the description of the dish was mix vegetables with panner in cashew gravy. I am highly disappointed as i was only able to see vegetables in my gravy and NO PANNER . The taste was pathetic and gravy has no flavour. I dont recommend this dish. - Mona

I am a huge fan of Indian Cuisine and The Marigold Indian Bistro is by far, the VERY BEST INDIAN FOOD in the city!!!! Their food is delicious, the potions are plentiful, the service is second to none and every item I have ever ordered on their diverse menu receives 5+ stars. They are a very well run business, consistent at serving fresh and palate pleasing food and they certainly aim to please their customers. To all the staff at the Marigold Indian Bistro, THANK YOU

Great place to enjoy tasty Indian food. I tried the butter chicken and the tandoori sampler and both were amazing! Plenty of food and I do not understand how people can give negative review to this place. Keep the great work and thank join.

Very good food, chic environment.

Very good food.I went with my family for lunch .we had very good time with excellent tasty food.After a longtime I found a restaurant where we can go and take healthy lunch and dinner. Not oily ,not to much spicey,and good for everyone. We ordered baked salmon, baked green paneer,mango chicken, tandoori chicken, and very delicious mo mo and goat curry with nan.Each items was very tasty and well cooked.I will suggest you all please try once their food .You will love it. This is one of the best restaurant for us.The place was so clean,organized with great hospitality. Wish them all the best. place was

Horrible meal. Ordered chicken masala with a side order of basmati rice. Sauce was awful, too salty, chicken tasted like rubber. Not appetizing at all and Ive tried a ton of Indian restaurants in the city. Definitely not coming back

Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and the food is fresh as well as delicious. I took out Chicken Tikka Masala, Samosa chat, Chicken Biryani, Lamb Rogan Josh and 2 garlic Nan. I am definitely going back.

Really teasty food great service. We really like this restaurant. Try nepali momo so teasty. Wow we love it

One of the best Indian Restaurants around. Every item we ordered was immaculate (we got samosas, momo, mango chicken and garlic naan) The staff is very friendly and hospitable as well.

Full marks for hosptiality. Food was average.the server was really polite.

Very horrible food . No where close to Indian flavours. We ordered Chicken and panner curry. They had added few pieces of paneer or chicken on top of raw tomato juices. Ordered online and wasted money.

Would give 10 stars if I could. Service and food are both excellent. Dinner for 2, ordered online with 10% off for $54 with taxes included is an excellent deal. Enough for 4 people. Will be ordering from Marigold again soon.

Great food and great service :)

Oh myyyyyyy.....the butter chicken curry was too tangy. Not sure if it is vinegar or tomato juice.

very good service and food awesome

Amazing food. Very friendly staff. The portion sizes are very big which gives you leftovers for a long time! I would definitely recommend - one of my favourite restaurants on Mount Pleasant.

Worst Indian food experience in Toronto. It was as if food was reheated from frozen. Menu descriptions did not match presentation. Dont bother.

I have been here 10 times if not more. The place is cozy and quiet; the food is absolutely delicious. Items from tandoor and paneer are the best. I keep bringing my friends to this restaurant and they love it.

Delicious and freshly cooked food, loved the winterlicious menu #crispy eggplant #carrot pudding #mangochicken, liked the ambience and the service, pure indian theme of the restaurant along with candlelight s as it was asked.

The butter chicken is excellent. I havent yet discovered anything else on the menu deserving of high praise.

Food was amazing! I had the chicken Chattinad (probably spelt that wrong) but it was a coconut based curry and got rice with it. I will definitely go back!

Service was quite good, food was perfectly decent, but I feel that for a similar price range you can find more variety and better quality Indian food.

Fantastic experience! Delicious food. Great place. Highly recommend this place!!

The worst food what we have tasted so far.we ordered for chicken biriyani which was basically (rice mixed in chettinad gravy),which they call it as biriyani without salt added,so basically rice mixed in some curry without salt. Chicken 65 - is the one which would have been frozen for long and was being prepared and served which gave a foul smell (may have been kept for quite long). And chettinad gravy - (chicken pieces tossed in tomato gravy..) If someone looking out for a better Indian food ,there are far more better restaurant than this one.i would not recommend . Its complete waste of time,food and money

Yesterday I ordered Chicken Vindalo. The taste of curry was very pathetic and tangy. Its look like they just put chicken pieces in tamarind soup. I am very disappointed with the quality of food.

My wife and I ordered for pickup and we were absolutely blown away and ecstatic to finally find such good Indian food in Toronto. I hadn t had Indian food this delicious since Brick Lane in London! We will definitely return for more and I would recommend this restaurant to any of my friends.

Do not buy their chicken biryani, its just boiled rice and chicken curry. No where its an authentic indian dish. If you happen to confront them, they get worked up and threaten you by saying Do whatever you can. Definitely not a place to go for and spend your hard earned money on the food that is below standard and get threatened.

Never ever order from this place, there is no option to give zero star hence giving 1. Especially chicken chettinad, it is like 1-2 days old curry and all curries tastes same .

They are so slow also Uber eats order is so slow

the food here is always amazing best indian resturant of toronto service is great

Had a terrific dinner today at the Marigold Indian Bistro with awesome food, wonderful service.

Excellent food and excellent value. We will have leftovers for days. Ordered online and the delivery was prompt and the food arrived hot. Will definitely be ordering from them again.

We had a excellent, light lunch yesterday! Marigolds take on fried calimari is very unique and delicious and we love dthe spicy lamb and garlic nan. We will defintiely head back for dinner!

waste

Amazing Indian food, they get the spice level just right, I don t think they add any colour or artificial stuff in the food and their bread basket is my favourite! Take out or eat in their sit down is great.

Great indian food, great price, great service, cant go wrong with that! The butter chicken and dum pukt biryani is a must have!

Tried this place after someone else recommended. We had the butter chicken, daal makhni, Dam beryani, the chicken and beef skewers from the tandoor section and all were average. I have been to a few Indian restaurants and I am finding more and more of them having menus like this restaurant tending to the west with less spicy foods. And Indian food needs to be somewhat spicy to taste authentic. 3 stars cause food is presented well but not authentic.

Worth a try. Youll not be disappointed. The food is very good quality, fresh ingredients, well spiced. Good wine list, relaxing atmosphere, polite service.

It should have made us suspect that the restaurant was completely empty at 7:30 PM (and remained so throughout our dinner). We d ordered delivery many times from Marigold and always liked it. But last night, 2 out of 4 dinners became violently ill. One of the guests has an impaired immune system and fortunately, he wasn t one of the guests who got food poisoning. If he had, this would have been a much more serious incident. Service was lovely. Too bad the kitchen let her down so badly!

We ordered food for 4 adults celebrating a birthday. Never have I paid so much for the smallest portions and skimpy ingredients. Butter chicken boasted (4) pieces of meat, Prawn Masala boasted (4) prawns, veg curry was more like leftover cauliflower....so disappointing! We won t contact this restaurant for mouse size portions again.

Nice menu, good wine list, attentive service.

Very welcoming place, polite people. Tasty food, big portions.

Try their butter chicken. The best in Toronto really.

Well, the food was good. Could recommend the place.

This restaurant maybe not the best Indian place in the world, but its surely one of the best in Toronto. Very tasty food and friendly service.

The best Indian place not only in neighborhood bur in Toronto.Delicious!

Can recommend this place. Real Indian food, nice service.

Very delicious food - friendly service

Good menu and wine list. Decent service.

Good sized portions, very tasty, great atmosphere. Hope this place sticks around.

Love it!

Really bad experience at this place. There was nobody to greet us when we entered. We had to wait for the staff to come out to be seated. Both dishes we ordered were sour. And we got overcharged by $2 for our naan. I cannot recommend this restaurant and I will not be returning.

The dum briyani is quite bland and definitely not authentic. The ambience is cozy and intimate. Service is OK. Much better options in midtown and not worth the second visit.

The food is amazing and yummy. The quality of ethnic taste reminds me of India and my moms food. I would definitely go again and again and would recommend my friends to go and enjoy the lovely food. The staff is super friendly. They are experienced and pretty fast in serving.

Unprofessional staff for delivery.

Experience the worst of the worst here. Ordered biryani and kheer, and it was rice mixed with some gravy to call it a biryani. The kheer was essentially savory rice mixed with milk and I regret the time, money, and appetite I lost due one order from this restaurant. I wish I could have given a negative rating here.

If you want to have unique dahi puri without dahi, it s the place ! would not even call it pani puri for the sheer lack of quantity and authentic ingredients . The irony is I was told that it s their unique style..I said wow.. new experience for an Indian with an Indian street food! Ordered veg biryani , paneer pasanda and garlic naan got each one in their own style, not Indian of course !

Great food and deserts! I wasn t able to book a table using their online reservation but you can just call to book a table. The food options and the quality is great!

Food was great

The best butter chicken in Toronto! Also the lamb biryani is must-try!
