Fast & friendly service. Calm decor. Out of five good dishes we tried, I'd especially recommend the tandoori fish and the lamb korma. I have no suggestions on how to improve this place, based on our first dinner here (Dec 3rd).

I had a great dining experience at this restaurant. The food was packed with authentic Indian flavors, which were fresh and perfectly spiced. The staff were friendly and attentive, offering helpful recommendations throughout the meal. The atmosphere was cozy with beautiful Indian-inspired decor, making it a comfortable spot for any occasion. For the quality and generous portions, the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious Indian cuisine.

My wife had ordered food from this restaurant yesterday Sept 20 2024 on the following order can be seen on the pic. If I can be honest about the food. It was not authentic Indian food. Absolutely no flavour at all. My wife who has no experience in cooking Indian food can cook better. We were both very disappointed.

I came here with my husband on Saturday night and at first I was a little hesitant based on Google reviews saying the food quality had gone down. I am here to tell you that is absolutely NOT the case. The food was great with really nice flavours (spicy!) and the service was extremely fast. Blink once and you were being served your food. They had a constant stream of takeout orders on the go as well which speaks to the food quality. Staff were very friendly and the environment was also very nice. Prices were extremely reasonable for a Toronto restaurant. We will definitely go in or order from here again! Don't trust the bad reviews!

We had a luncheon for 15 people and the food and the service were excellent!! Many of the people at the lunch had never had Indian food and were surprised how much they loved it!!! Everyone took home leftovers (we ordered a lot!). Can t recommend this place highly enough. Vegetarian options: There are vegan and vegetarian options, which are also delicious!

Amazing atmosphere. Gin was without tonic but got amazing Mountain Dew as Soda. Chai Martini tasted like chai without milk with a hint of Vodka. Saffron basmati rice made me nostalgic, I had this kind of lifeless boiled rice when I got covid. I liked the raw lemons for drinks, they had original taste. I have lost motivation to eat food daily. Service was good! Thanks Vegetarian options: Try to avoid this option

the only thing good was the bag they sent the food in.Butter chicken was too sweet like a syrup.Fish pakora was like eating a rubber without any marination.

We got the fish and shrimp pakora (shown in photo), butter chicken, saag paneer and garlic naan The food was amazing, the butter chicken had a sweetness that I really liked (the kind of sweetness u usually find in a korma), the saag paneer was rich and delicious Overall had an amazing experience here and would definitely come back :)

Steer clear of this restaurant. The biryani is laughable just three tiny pieces of lamb and a meager portion of rice. Is this supposed to be a Michelin star tasting menu? The butter chicken is even worse, tasting more like watered-down soup than a proper dish. An utterly disappointing experience from start to finish

Food was okay but the staff was too rude and racist. They were not even attentive enough to see whether the customers need some help. They were too unprofessional and even the bartender were drinking shots at the bar table but didn t had time to attend to customers. If anyone wants to ruin their experience, then you can surely visit this place

The hygiene standards of this restaurant have been falling down pretty consistently and considerably. I started going here in 2022 but I have stopped completely after what I saw today. There were hair in our food! I also saw the waitress not washing her hands with soap after using the restroom. Yuck! Dont go here if you want to be safe and healthy. If you are craving Indian food, there are other options. I like Pukka on St. Clair W.

An outstanding restaurant. Our dinner party was made up those who enjoy very spicy food on a daily basis and those who were new to Indian cuisine (and nervous about things being too spicy or hot). We were able to find appetizers and entrees of such variety, that everyone enjoyed their meal. All the food was made fresh and served in a very elegant manner. The wait staff were wonderful and very attentive. Highly recommend this establishment.

went for a late dinner and really enjoyed the ambiance and presentation. The lamb roganjosh and chicken biryani were delicious.

April 23, 2024

I use to order from here as far back as 2021 , always chicken biryani. I don t know what changed but the food quality has gone down drastically. This is not the same chicken biryani I ve eaten before. No flavour or taste. So oily you can see from tissue how much oil is on this rice. LAST time I m ordering from this restaurant. Quality has gone, if you fired the old chef ..better find a new one! This isn t even real biryani. You can see from my pic I use to order even as far back as 2021 , but this is last time. Do not recommend this place anymore.

Great restaurant. I tried them for the first after I saw them on uber eats. The butter chicken and chana masala were wonderful. The pakoras were fresh and full of vegetables. The flavour profile of the food had many levels. One thing I noticed is that these dish items are normally spicier, however theyre mild, Id definitely prefer a bit more heat, but for my wife that eats mild, she was in heaven. So thats a plus!

Interior decor is unique and they dont have loud music blasting so you can actually talk to one another.

This place is a scam for lunch special and its ridiculously rip off. I never ever been a place where a $18 lunch main dish cannot be shared! If you 2 are not that hungry and want to share a dish together, the lunch special price doesnt apply to you and you have to pay double. The thing is you would never know this hidden charge until you pay your bill, neither the waiter or the menu mention it in advance. A restaurant with minimum consumption but not dare to say it, hope you can save some money from your silly operation.

After trying for 2 years, I finally found an Indian restaurant in Toronto that truly reminds me of the taste of India. At first, I hesitated, thinking I might be disappointed again. But seeing the high Google rating gave me the courage to try, and Im so glad I did. This place amazed me! Its the best Indian restaurant Ive found in Toronto. The place looks great, the service is friendly, and the food tastes just right. They can add more spice if you like. Unlike some places, the dishes arent too sweet or changed to suit the taste of westerners. The area around the restaurant is lively, perfect for a short walk after dinner. In short, I really enjoyed dining here! Vegetarian options: It has plenty of options

Having lived in Toronto for 5 years, I can confirm that this is easily one of the best Indian restaurants. Hard to find such authentic Indian taste in downtown area. Food and service both 10/10.

I came here for the first time with a group of 13 for a special occasion lunch we were celebrating. The ambiance of the restaurant is great. I loved the decor and overall look. But the service was extremely slow. The frustrating part was that we were pretty much the only people in the restaurant and the service was this slow. I could understand if the restaurant was busy, but it wasnt. For Starters, we got: Gobhi Pataka Paneer Tikka Chilli Chicken Spicy Chicken Bites tandoori Sizzler x 2 For Mains, we got: Butter Chicken Lamb Roghan Josh Daal Makhni x 2 Bhartha Saag Paneer For Breads, we got: Garlic Naan Plain Naan Pudina ki Lachha Parantha Overall the food was good, but Im unsure if I will be back. Vegetarian options: Gobhi Pataka Paneer Tikka Daal Makhni Bhartha Saag Paneer

Long due! This is one of my favourite Indian restaurant in Toronto. My husband and I absolutely love it & we go there very often. The food is to die for. The naan could be eaten just plain and you d be in heaven We then decided to cater from them for our wedding reception. The portion and food was great! Dilpreet was the one who helped us. He was very professional and always there for us to answer any questions we had but also to accommodate the changes which came along the way. It was a full course, starting with appetizers to the dessert. The food was ready on time most importantly. This took away a huge stress. Our guests loved the food and we are very thankful for that! Thank you team

Updated review: I went here for dinner again and we ordered lamb, tandoori platter, some veg, curry and sides. The quality of food was terrific, and the service spot on. The staff is prompt at responding to your requests. I ve been here a couple of times and I can say you can trust the quality. If you like veg curries - please get a navratan korma.

The ambience was good. We ordered saffron basmati rice and we couldnt even find a single saffron by luck which is 7 plus taxes. Beware these guys are looting 5 dollars extra for just asking hot water (for just heating up the chlorinated tap water), even though we didnt ask for a bottled water. The lamb was bit old and covered up with masala.. Overall its not a worthy restaurant to dine in. Missed to check many negative reviews before checking in. Better checkout better indian restaurants. Reply to owners response: We didnt ask for any specific brand bottled water. Moreover the saffron basmati rice had only regular rice smell and not saffron scented.

I had the opportunity to dine at ambiyan today and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and the service was top-notch. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations for our meal. Speaking of which, the food was absolutely delicious. We indulged in a variety of dishes including prawn masala, chicken tikka, lamb shank, lamb curry, chicken curry, paneer curry, and dal makhni - each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. To complement our meal, we savored some delightful cocktails, including martinis, kingfisher, and cosmopolitan. I highly recommend trying the Mango Martini, it was a true highlight. Overall, I cannot praise ambiyan enough for their impeccable service, delectable cuisine, and delightful cocktails. Its safe to say that I will be returning soon and sharing my positive experience with others.

We went to the restaurant for my boyfriends birthday. The food was amazing. The service was nice, they offered the desert for the birthday. They could do better for the ambiance but overall it was a good experience. Parking: Just behid the restaurant, entrance directly

December 23, 2023

Only ordered takeout, because I saw a buy one get one free and I ordered based on reviews and was greatly mislead. Chana masala was undercooked (chickpeas weren t soft) and lacked flavour. The dal makhani also lacks any flavour, it s quite bland. Disappointed, I was hoping to have found a new spot downtown for Indian food.

Spot on for whenever youre craving Indian cuisine. Good selection of vegetarian options, and not too spicy if youre ordering something that can be made with a low spice level. The mains are delicious, and I particularly enjoy their naan bread as a side. Good portions and fair pricing.

Recently tried this restaurant for the first time. Place was busy, but service was good. Food came quickly and was very good. Only negative issue was the ambiance. From outside and upon first entry the place looked really nice. NIce bar, soft warm lighitng...However the lighting in the center of the restaurant appeared to be daylight/cool white type bulbs that were harsh and killed the ambiance completely. Vegetarian options: Variety of options Parking: Plenty of paid parking in the local lot
