The butter chicken at Rikki Tikki is exceptional. The butter chicken is a must try, it has such a creamy sauce that's perfectly balanced with sweet and spices.The tandoori chicken was grilled to perfection, it was very flavourful, juicy and tender. The service was amazing. All the staff members were lovely and very accommodating.

Amazing place for modern Indian cuisine in Kensington market!! Spacious seats with a great bar section. Many choices of food and they all are so good! We ordered one veggie curry and chicken curry, we love the curry taste of the combination of a bit sweet and spicy 🌶️ services are excellent! Will come back again for more of curry

We had a mango delight drink, veg biryani and a chefs platter (assortment of starters)! The mango delight (mango + mojito) was awesome! The platter was standard but the biryani was delicious! Definitely check it out if you’re in the area!

We came here on a Monday night and were glad to find they were busy with dine-in and takeout orders. They also have a semi-private dining area at the back of the restaurant for larger groups. It was a hot day, so we didn’t sit on the patio. The staff are very friendly and the service is great. We asked for recommendations with our food and drinks and we were happy with their recommendations. We ordered “Patiala Shahi” from cocktail menu and “Indian Roadside Lemon Soda” from the mocktail menu. They weren’t the usual cocktails you find on any restaurant menu, so we were happy with our choices. For appetizers, we ordered “Gobi Manchurian”, which was a great vegetarian option. And I love spicy food. For entrée, we ordered “Anarkali Bahar”, Saag Paneer”, “Butter Chicken”, “Coconut Prawn Curry” and of course your Indian experience is not complete if you don’t pair your food with some Naan; so we ordered “Garlic Naan”. Everything tasted amazing; right amount of spices and flavors and cooked to perfection. I strongly recommend “Butter Chicken” and “Coconut Prawn Curry“.

The food here is absolutely delicious! My family ordered the chili paneer, hyderabad chicken curry, braised lamb shank, and the butter and garlic naan. I definitely recommend the lamb shank! Even though the portion size was on the smaller side, the price was pretty decent for all of that. The service was also amazing. Thank you to our server Rashmi!

Decent place for Indian food. Samosa chat was great. Chicken Angaari was nicely marinated and juicy. chicken tikka masala and chicken bhuna both were good. good to share among 2-3 people. naans were fresh too. butter chicken was too sweet, better to ask to make it spicy if wanted. As for drinks, got a gin based lychee drink, wasn't strong but was nice.

Rikki Tikki is a fantastic spot for Indian food! Our server, Rithima, was so sweet, attentive, and professional she truly made the dining experience even better. The food was absolutely incredible. The lamb biryani was flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the tandoori platter was out of this world! The meats were juicy, tender, and seasoned to perfection, with a great variety of veggies, paneer, and more. The spiced rice was another highlight so fragrant and delicious. We also loved the garlic naan, which was crispy, buttery, and the perfect companion to the creamy and flavorful butter chicken. Every dish was a winner, and you can really taste the care and skill that goes into the cooking here. I highly recommend Rikki Tikki for anyone craving amazing Indian food. Can t wait to come back!

Rikki Tikki is a hidden gem that transports you straight to the heart of India. The rich, aromatic curries are simply divine, with a perfect balance of spices and flavors. The naan is soft and fluffy, and the tandoori dishes are cooked to perfection. The service is impeccable, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Whether youre a seasoned Indian food lover or a curious newcomer, this restaurant is a must-try. I highly recommend the butter chicken, lamb vindaloo and the specific dessert, gulab jamun

Ordered delivery. Was missing the drinks from my order and no utensils or napkins were included (I looked to see if I had to request them in the app but there was no option so assumed they would be included). The food I ordered was not listed as spicy and did not give an option to request a spice level. Everything I ordered was much spicier than I would expect for a no spicy indication. To the point I couldn t eat much more than the Naan and pick out a few pieces of lamb. Will not repeat ordering from here.

Rikki Tikki is my go-to for their saag paneer; creamy & has a good flavour. The butter naan paired with the dish also has a nice texture and pull to it. I enjoy their food enough to sit through the entire Taylor Swift discography, which was the only music playing in the restaurant when we dined in this time.

WOW! The food and experience here were fantastic. My friend and I visited Toronto for a few days and I made it a mission to find the best Indian that I could in the city. I eat A LOT of Indian food so my bar is exceedingly high. Rikki Tikki surpassed it. A few recs: the samosa chaat is AMAZING. If you re trying to decide between that and the regular samosas, get the chaat. I promise you won t regret it. I almost always get paneer tikka masala as a main dish (I m vegetarian) and here was no exception. BUT this was the most unique (and possibly most delicious) version I ve ever had. For the American readers, important note that the curry dishes don t come with rice here which is very confusing. But I got the pea rice on the side and it was delicious easily could have been a standalone meal but paired excellently with the paneer tikka masala. My friend got the biryani and loved it. We shared garlic naan and loved it. Highly recommend chutney on the side because it s chutney. Everything was super fresh-tasting and very clearly made to order. Finally, the service was impeccable as was the plating/presentation. It seems like a fairly unassuming place from the outside but don t let that fool you. If you re thinking about trying this place out and/or are looking for some of the best Indian in Toronto, run don t walk! to Rikki Tikki. You won t be disappointed! Can t wait to go back when I m next in the city.

Walking into the Rikki Tikki, I was immediately greeted by the kind soul of Amanat (or Manat, if I ve spelled her name correctly). Her service was nothing short of amazing, with a mesmerizing smile that complemented her confident eyes and a voice that carried the melody of politeness. It s rare to encounter such genuine warmth and attentiveness. Food: The culinary experience was a voyage through the rich flavors of Hyderabadi cuisine. The chicken and lamb dishes were a revelation, steeped in tradition and bursting with flavors that spoke of authenticity and a mastery of spices. Each bite of the perfectly cooked meat reminded me of my hometown. It is truly worth spending every dime there. Service: The exceptional service provided by Amanat (or manat) was a highlight of the evening. Her approach to customer care was both professional and personal, making us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our meal. Environment: The environment was a perfect backdrop to exquisite food. With no loud music to distract, the authentic decor and calm atmosphere allowed for an intimate dining experience where the food and conversation took center stage. Apart from this, the cleanliness was top-notch. The washroom was way cleaner than what i anticipated. Extra points for that. Conclusion: Amanat s service, the flavorful dishes, and the authentic environment have secured Rikki Tikki as a must-visit destination on my culinary map. Wortht of recommendation. Try at least once and see for yourself.

We recently dined at this restaurant and enjoyed a delightful meal. For appetizers, we had the Gobi Manchurian, which had a great presentation. However, some of the cauliflower florets were overly deep-fried, making them a bit hard to chew. For our mains, we tried the Lamb Biryani and Chicken Madras. The Lamb Biryani was our favorite, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The Chicken Madras also tasted good, though the chicken pieces were a bit dry and might have been better if cut smaller. The garlic naan was really good definitely one of the best I ve had in Toronto. While it didn t quite compare to the ones I ve had in India, likely due to different cooking methods, it was still excellent. Overall, we liked our experience and will be back to try other items on the menu!

I ordered my usual Chicken Tikka Masala, rice and garlic naan. Food was very decent, fresh and tasty, not too spicy, but theres something missing in the sauce as for me. Naan was nice too. Overall score 4.7 id say but I am a foodie and am very strict, so without hesitation go for it!

I went to this restaurant few days ago first of all food quantity is really very less. Some of the items in menu are so expensive. For instance they charge $18 for chicken pakora they only serve 5 pieces which is not worth according to the price. We also ordered butter chicken it was too sweet they even added strawberries in it chef needs to learn more what s the combination of strawberries with curry. This place is very expensive and less worth to go.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and sophisticated, perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Our server, Ammant was exceptional. From the moment we were seated, ammant s warm and attentive service made us feel welcomed and well-cared for. She was knowledgeable about the menu, provided excellent recommendations, and ensured that our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. Ammant s attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly enhanced our visit. Once again Thanks for the service.

Food was amazing; my Butter Chicken was to die for; incredibly smooth, perfectly well seasoned and balanced. Main dishes don t come with rice so please be aware of that, I just assumed that they did. Garlic Naan was awesome. Honestly, the whole culinary experience was very good. I highly recommend it to those who love Indian Food!

Went there late night with friends, food was tasty, presentation on point and amazing staff as well! Our server Rashmi was very friendly!! Will be going back definitely I would like to add to my previous review, that try avoiding ordering online as the quality and quantity isn t the same as you get when you dine in. Although its costs significantly more to order online for delivery, the quality was really disappointing for this place. This has happened twice now. Still a great place for dine in though!

So its a nice fine dine in place for Indian food on a very congested street. Food was really good, and service was also pretty quick seeing how crowded it was. Only thing I didnt like a lot is there table size, the place is small and is little tight to maneuver (I was with a stroller). You cannot keep a lot of things on table unless you join another table. But thats just a little thing and their Tandoori fish, naans and dal makhani were great. Rashmi, who was serving us was really nice and was proactive it listening to us. Overall a nice place to try near downtown.

Found this amazing gem! We ordered their chicken tikka masala, lamb biryani, and aloo Gobi. All were delicious . They always give out complimentary cumin crackers which is a great snack.
