Exceptional service provided by our server, Guneet. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her warm hospitality made our meal even more enjoyable. It s rare to find someone who genuinely takes the time to ensure guests have the best experience. Thank you, Guneet, for making our visit so memorable! We ll definitely be coming back.

Food was delicious and Lama is an amazing server who was well versed with the menu, would love to come back. Already planning to visit again soon with friends!

Third class food

Everything was amazing, our server Guneet she was fabulous

The vibe was good so were the staff & food. They have a great variety of cocktails too. Food

I was really excited to try this Gulab Jamun cake, but unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. It was as if the cake had been sitting around for way too long, and the flavors had completely deteriorated. To make matters worse, the smell was even worse than the taste. It had a pungent odor that was unmistakably like something had expired. It was unpleasant and left a bad taste in my mouth even before I took a bite. I really couldnt finish the cake, and I ended up throwing it away.

Food was really good!?

Man, this place was absolutely sick! The food was marvelous, and the drinks hit perfectly. Definitely coming back for round two!

Garbage food worst experience I had please don t go there

they have very bad food, very bad services and atmosphere is the uncleaned and not hygiene. The tables were not good cleaned. their restroom smells so bad and not cleaned properly. now come to food they pretend like they have best food in the area, but not worth it. I just waste my money there The staff is not good in the service don t have tasty food at all

hi guys, I m here to inform you that please don t go through the review or the pictures for this restaurant because I got scammed by these all. I just wasted my time and money here and food is not that tasty what they present

Food was really good and delicious.

Great food and a great atmosphere!!

The food was amazing and the customer service was great. Will visit again soon Food

Good ambience and Service was great! Must try Peri Peri paneer tikka

The food was really amazing! We wanted to try chaap but they were out of it so we have Tandoori Momos, Honey Chilli potatoes and Paneer Tikka Masala instead. Everything was well presented and Dikshant s service was great as well! If you are around. Must Visit.

We have been meaning to try Raftaar for a few months and it didnt disappoint! It was great food and great service. Will definitely be back

Bad burps with acid refluxes at this hour after having food from here. Chicken kadhai was full of whole spices and butter chicken did not taste like one. Not fresh taste at all!!

Picked up via Uber eats. Stale food, I wish I could give 0 stars !! Owner if you re reading this please stop selling hakka chowmein because your chef clearly doesn t know how to make it! I mean who puts mint powder in chowmein? Inedible food, went straight to garbage !

Our first time there on a Saturday night for dinner. The restaurant was empty & the music was blaring like a nightclub. We had to ask the server to lower the volume 3 times & it was still so loud that we could barely hear each other speak. We sat close to the back where the speakers are located. The Server was enthusiastic & offered many suggestions. The food we ordered was all good. We had the Peri Peri Chicken, Bharve Golgappe & Chicken Biryani. Dietary restrictions: They were able to safely serve a nut & shellfish allergy.

Amazing food! One of the best Indian food restaurants that I have ever been to. The servers are really friendly and the customer service was also great. Loved the ambience and the overall environment. Would definitely keep visiting this place!

The food was bussin good

Excellent place, serves the best indian food. Had a great experience

Great food , great vibe, great service

Wonderful Experience. Cant get enough of the Noor-e-Kabab & Chicken Korma. Best Indian Food Ive ever tasted.

The appetizer was really amazing. We loved the vibe and enjoyed the amazing drinks. Lama was very polite and served us with warm smile. Highly recommend this place.

Starters and Drinks were awesome. We had good service from Lama and she made sure to give recommendations and give us what we needed. Would definitely come back.

We loved our experience. The staff was very knowledgeable and the music and food was just divine! Would highly recommend and cant wait to come back.

Food is reallly goooodddd

Raftaar Kitchen and Bar truly exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere is vibrant, the drinks are expertly crafted, and the food is simply unforgettable. What really sets this place apart is the impeccable service Riddhi went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Highly recommend Raftaar for anyone looking for an amazing dining experience!

I had an amazing time at Raftaar Kitchen and Bar! The food was incredible, the drinks were perfect, and the atmosphere was just right. What really stood out was the excellent service Riddhi made sure we had everything we needed and was super friendly. Definitely a spot I ll be coming back to. Highly recomend it!

Amazing food (Chaap Masala + Paneer Pasanda). Prabhjyot is an amazing man. Must recommend (even if you re pure vegetarian).

Great staff and great ambience Had a great time would recommend everyone to visit Food

I stopped in last night to try the food and cocktails and both were SO good. The atmosphere is great and the owner hung out and was very friendly and definitely added to the experience. I very highly recommend the chili chicken with garlic naan and a long Island iced tea. It was one of the best meals Ive ever had and definitely in the conversation for best Indian food Ive ever had. A piece of taramisu with their signature Irish cocktail was a perfect way to finish my dining experience. Everything was exceptional and Ill definitely be going back!

Amazing dine in experience with the very friendly servers. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere and delicious food served with beautiful plating. Must visit would highly recommend this place.

Really delicious, solid level of spice, and good drinks. Waiters that care.

Came here on Saturday night and the vibes were amazing. Food was tasty and fresh and drinks were delicious too. Riddhi was a great server.

Riddhi was an amazing and kind server. Her recommendations were spot on, the menu is wide too. Food 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Food : 5/5

Amazing food and service

Very good food and shisha

Excellent food and service

Awesome fusion Indian food! Every dish that we ordered had a unique flavour. Would highly recommend the butter chicken naan. Refreshing cocktails as well. My favorite was the Cullinan limited edition. Food : 5/5 |

Great place for authentic Indian food and fancy cocktails. A special shout out to Riddhi for her prompt and friendly service

Really good restaurant and appreciate service by ridhi . Highly recommended

Excellent atmosphere with amazing food. Came 2nd time.

I really had good experience and Ridhi did great job . Worth its visit

Nice environment. 5/5for staff and services, delicious food, overall I love this place.

Great vibe and songs. Great food, I had tandoori cheap and one drink it was worth it. Its my usual go to place. Vegetarian options: They have separate vegetarian options

Butter chicken and nann bread are amazing, the waitress Riddhi is very helpful! Amazing experience, would recommend

The naan was amazing! Riddhis service was great!

Very nice Indian food, our server (Riddhi) was speedy with our food and we had a great time dining here!

Great vibe and service! Ask for Riddhi next time you re in! She s great!

Per peri chicken and paneer were good

Good food. Mostly empty hut nice music. Ridhi was nice

Some dishes are great. DJ plays good music! The service is phenomenal.

Riddhi was a star!!

Riddhi was attentive, friendly and made our dining experience great. Excellent service!

This was the best Indian restaurant that I have been to in Canada I would say. A must go to place. It has an Indian DJ music and atmosphere is just right. The food quality is great. A must try dish is Threaded Paneer sticks. Never had this before anywhere. Tandoori Soya chap roll is another such must try dish.

The food was INCREDIBLE and the portions were generous, the cocktails equally so! 10/10, havent left a restaurant this satisfied in months.

Attended by guneet, good food and nice environment.

**Delicious Dal Makhni & Paneer Tikka Masala!** Had an amazing meal at Raftaar. The Dal Makhni was creamy and rich, with just the right balance of spices, while the Paneer Tikka Masala had a perfect blend of smoky and tangy flavors. Both dishes were packed with authentic taste and paired wonderfully with their fresh naan. Great food, cozy ambiance, and friendly service highly recommend!

The food was good and music was great

Good place to visit for parties

Nice place in Toronto. Must visit.

Pretty bad photo but fantastic tandoori momos! So tasty! A tad bit pricey for 6 momos though but it s really good

Tasteless food, not worth the hype. Super expensive. Wastage of time and money

Great food and vibes

I had an exceptional dining experience at Raftaar Restaurant from the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our meal. The service was impeccable our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and made fantastic recommendations. The menu offered a delightful range of options, and each dish we ordered was a masterpiece. Each dish was cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and a burst of flavors that left us wanting more. The presentation was equally impressive, showcasing the chefs attention to detail. To top it off, the dessert was a decadent finale to a perfect meal. The dessert was a true highlight, beautifully crafted and utterly delicious. Overall, Raftaar exceeded all our expectations. It s a gem of a place that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I can t wait to return!

We stumbled upon this restaurant and loved it! Great atmosphere, delicious food, and fabulous service.

Ate at Raftaar for the first time last night, and was very pleasantly surprised! We eat indian food often, and have been looking for a high quality place in the neighbourhood. I can confidently tell you this is the best Indian weve found on the Danforth. The menu is creative, and the portions are large. We split two appetizers (Piri Piri Chicken & Mango Fish - both were amazing), and 2 mains (Chicken Chettihad & Veg Biryani, also both very very tasty). That was more than enough for 2 of us. Cocktails were really good too. This is going to be our go-to going forward! Highly recommend!

Came in with my friends on weekends and the food was awesome, such a nice flavours and perfectly cooked.

Great ambience, food and drinks. The service is top notch. Owners make sure that you are happy with the food. Food has flavour and not just cream and spices. Love it

They ve got a really nice vibe and good food options! Would definitely recommend it

amazing food! 10/10 taste, would recommend:)

Amazing experience with food and staff guneet as well.

Very good service!

lovely vibe and food

Great food, great vibes! Love this place Highly recommend !!!

Delicious food and drinks with incredible service. My new favourite restaurant on the Danforth.

Loved the food

Not at all worth. There is no crowd. They are just looting by taking 20$

Amazing food and great vibe. Riddhi made great recommendations for food and drinks. Thank you Riddhi.

It was a wonderful experience for dining at Raftaar Restaurant..AMAZING food, good service and awesome ambience..HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I have been to raftaar in person, I had three starters that day and a dessert. I was really impressed and wanted to give the place another shot. So I ordered main course via uber eats and I cannot be more disappointed. I cannot believe if it is the same place as all the five items I ordered are a gong show, the chettinad mushroom has no flavour, the mushrooms although very thinly sliced are raw, the breads : pyaaz mirchi roti, garlic naan and butter naan are all so bad. They are nothing more than maida roti with some toppings. Only the paneer steak was little bit flavourful but nothing extraordinary. I had really high expectations seeing the high rating so the disappointment is extremely high too. I am giving two stars only because the food was nicely packed. For food, I would have given zero stars as $67 for food (2 mains + 3 bread) that has no taste is just too much

Amazing place with excellent service from Ms. Riddhi Patil. Do visit

The worst service and food. Their server is not professional, and its not worth it. I strongly recommend not going to this restaurant and not wasting your time and money

Nice space and very tasty food. Great service from Dikshant!

Great service from Riddhi :)

Great food and awesome drinks!!

Amazing food & drinks! Very friendly service, would definitely recommend

Had an amazing hot date here! Food was amazing (a little spicy for me but that s my own issue) and drinks were delicious.

This new ish place is just about the closest restaurant to our house. So we randomly just stopped in, for the first time, for a quick cocktail. It was about 6 pm on a Friday (July, 2024), and we ended up ordering food, more cocktails, and even texted friends to come down and join us. There is an extensive list of deliciously crafted and presented cocktails, and mocktails. Plus, the veggie & non-vegetarian apps list was so extensive, and delicious sounding, we never made it as far as the entrees. We all thoroughly enjoyed our choices, and just managed to fit in a single desert with 4-spoons. The host that treated us was very friendly. The bartender (possibly the owner?), who also served us food, was wonderful. Exceedingly knowledgeable, and very enthusiastic, and accommodating. The service wasn t super fast, but that really didn t matter. The food was absolutely fantastic and did not disappoint. Prices were very reasonable, and the servings plentiful. Plus, we weren t in a rush, and we had a wonderful experience. The space is great, and they have a large overhead door which opens across the entire frontage. Unfortunately, they ve been forced by the City to temporarily close their patio. This due to the narrowing of Danforth necessitated by the Ontario line construction. By the time we left, there was some proper dancing going on in the back. We love Indian food, and we ve always ordered from the older, more established, and traditional restaurants. But this new place just seems authentically younger & modern , but not excessively so. We will definitely be back!

Best service by Riddhi and best place to hangout..

Best service by Riddhi

The vibe was really good and the food was amazing.

had the Masala Peanuts (the Are You Nuts? as the menu calls it) and Honey Chili Potato as an appetizer and both were phenomenal spins on what youd expect, would highly recommend them. I had the Noor-e-kebab for my entree and absolutely would again, really lovely flavor, both in the chicken itself and the creamy sauce (wish it was a little spicier but thats on me for not asking). Im not really into drinks but their drink menu seems as big and diverse as their food menu (my friends had a good time exploring it), so theres a lot to love here

Ordered food, raita was stale and it was like lassi with salt masala on the name of raita and even less in quantity . I have to throw raita cause it was really sour and Bad in taste. Tandoori chicken also in less quantity Food

It was a nice place and cocktail is a must try. I would like to appreciate Ridhi for a fantabulous customer service. Peri Peri chicken is delicious.

Nice ambiance and amazing service by Riddhi

Yummy food! Great ambiance and best customer service by Riddhi Food

The overall experience was amazing Riddhi was our server for the night she was very kind and sweet and served everything with a smile on her face. Food was very nice must try

Riddhi was our server for the night, great service and food! Made my birthday more special!

Amazing food, great servers, awesome ambience, definitely check this place out at Danforth for authentic Indian cuisine.

Perfect ambience and delicious food 10/10.

Wonderful indian food in the heart of Greektown! Another hidden spot, especially considering the plethora of other options around. The preparations were extremely nice and unique, with the highlight being the Gulab Jamun Cake in the dessert menu. This is a definite visit, if you re in the area and are craving authentic and yet unique Indian Food.

The location is very beautiful and the service is exceptional. RIDDHI is such a professional. So kind and warm. We will definitely come back again soon.

One of the best places for Indian food and the desserts are top notch. Special thanks to Riddhi for being such a great server

The food and vibe is amazing. Special shoutout to Riddhi for giving A-mazing service.

Beautiful restaurant with a great food ,amazing atmosphere and great service. We will recommend Raftaar at any time..

Dikshant was an awesome server. Attention to detail and the best drinks. Highly recommend

Great customer service by dikshant. Loved the food and ambiance Food

Good vegetariani biryani though a little spicy, if you cannot handle hot , request it on the order

This place is a gem! The music, the food, the service - everything is top notch. It really reminded me of back home, so warm and familiar! 10/10 I am literally telling all of my friends to come here and will definitely have all future celebratory dinners at this beautiful place

Great atmoshpere and food. Dikshant our server was professional and super friendly.

Amazing place, yummy food and top notch service by dixit. I would rate this place 10/10!! Oh and yea music selection was a blast!!

We tried this place for the first time on suggestion and what a delight. The food was exquisite - 10/10 for taste. I would say this is one of the best Indian food I have had outside India.

Ill chalk this one up to a slow Monday dinner service. This place has potential, but if its not just Monday and every day is like this, they have some things they need to work on. I like to get the bad out of the way. I think maybe it was Monday, so they probably had the inexperienced server come in for some practice, but at a place where two meals, two cocktails and a domestic beer come to about $100, a certain level of service is expected, even on a slow Monday. We were the only people in the place. The waiter spoke too softly for us to really hear. Next, remembering who ordered what is service 101. The waiter who took our order was the person who brought the food out, and we were a small group, but she kept asking who ordered what dish, but since we couldnt really hear what she was saying, we werent much help. Two of the group ended up getting their meals swapped. Things like drinks and water took awhile to get out, even though we were the only ones there. Next, kitchen service: two of our group got their meals first, and the rest of the group got ours after the first two had finished, and then one of the first two had originally ordered steamed rice, but it came not only long after they finished their meals, but at least half way through the meals of the others. Group meals need to come out together. Next: my order. I had a Chicken Chettinad. It was not clear that this was a bone-in chicken dish. Im admittedly super picky about the presence of bone or gristle in meals. No ding for that though, but what I didnt like was that of the three pieces of chicken in my stew, only one piece (a drumstick) had any significant meat on it. The other two large pieces vaguely resembled thighs but were mostly bone maybe 20% meat. Maybe the traditional recipe calls for bone in meat, and thats fine, but a couple nice meatty thighs would have made all the difference. Now for THE GOOD Atmosphere: the atmosphere was great. Its in a nice location on Danforth. The place is large and airy. The flavors and presentation are amazing at this place. The main reason I would go back should be to try the Piri Piri chicken. It looked phenomenal! I would recommend others go, but keep these criticisms in mind.

The food was amazing. The butter chicken, shrimp curry, Jeera rice and the garlic naan were full of flavour. The service was outstanding

Vegetarian options: Delicious food and ambience, serving was amazing as well! Dikshant was wonderful. Food

Delicious new Indian restaurant. Can t wait to go back!

We ordered catering for our work lunch. The food was really good. All ingredients used were so fresh it felt like home cooked food. The noodles and chili paneer was finger licking good. Will definitely order from here again.

We just had the most delicious dinner here. Shared a few dishes that all were all fantastic. The service was wonderful and the spice combinations were amazing. Will definitely be back soon.

Tasty Indian food right at Pape and a Danforth! Especially liked the Tandoori Veg Momos and the Chicken Tikka Masala. Very spacious inside (Used to be a Bar Hop)

Awesome food as always and shoutout to Dikshant for his awesome and well spoken service

Perfect place for Bollywood Live Music, Indian Cuisine and Alcohol!

Very limited vegan options, especially for an Indian restaurant

Great food great ambience Dikshant provided us with excellent service.

Food is OK. The service is slow and disorganized. I ordered a double shot in my ice tea and the second shot was 7$ on top of the price for the ice tea. Ridiculous!

Food tasted incredible. Many thanks to Dikshant, amazing service and great recommendations.

Great food and amazing service!

Really delicious food. Great customer service by Dikshant.

Good service, good food. Nice variety of vegetarian and non vegetarian food items.

Loved the food and ambience. Great service by Ridhi, will for sure visit again.

Tasty food and large portions great for sharing. Overall, enjoyable dining experience and our server Ridhi was friendly and attentive.

The variety of veg-non veg food option And good service by Riddhi

Absolutely loved the food and drinks here. Ridhi was very kind and friendly. Will visit again for sure.

Amazing food and ambiance can t wait to go again! Owners are very friendly.. had a great time

Visited this place for our wedding anniversary dinner. Food and ambiance was great and staff is very friendly I would like to mention that Palchhin( hope i spelled correct) did recommended cocktail and food which suits to our palate. They have live dj playing at background with Bollywood peppy numbers. Overall it was great experience give a try if looking for good contemporary Indian food with playful ambience.

Absolutely delicious Chicken Biryani. Chicken was moist and tender

Great new addition to the east end! The tandoori momos were the best I ever had, might do take out today to get some more. The cocktails and food were really reasonably priced. The singers were lovely. Hoping this place will gain the traction it deserves!

Amazing food and cocktails!!!! I loved their dahi chaat, paneer sticks and fries! Their crème brûlée rabri is the most delicious dessert I have ever had! It definitely has to go viral in downtown Toronto!! The place is a vibe and the service is outstanding!! Loved the visit!

Delicious food, excellent service, and cozy ambiance! Highly recommend!!

Amazing food and amazing service by Palchan!! 10/10 would recommend.

Delicious food with exceptional customer service by Palchin. Will definitely be back!

Me and my friends came here to celebrate my birthday and Dikshanth made sure that we have a good time!! Food was good and the service that we got was excellent!

The place is so good with Indian punjabi vibe. Super tasty and quality food with amazing service.

This place has a really nice ambience. I tried the tandoori momos, they were quite delicious with a smoky flavour to them. I was served by Dikshant. I highly recommend this place!

Dikshant, our server, made our first experience here perfect! The food here was on point, and spice levels as requested . Medium spice was just the right kick for us, requiring water, but not fire extinguishers! Loved the cocktails. Creative, and solidly mixed. Fun Indian music and videos. Added to the atmosphere for sure! Also, goid value. Highly recommend.

We dig it

Awesome Food is very very tasty and staff is very friendly Must visit place Food : 5/5

Tasty food Must visit place Highly recommended place for live singing and enjoying food at the same time Food : 5/5

The flavour of the food was incredible! Polite and attentive service from the waitress and even the cook came out to see how we liked the food. I liked the industrial chic atmosphere and the catchy music ambiance. Will definitely be returning.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Raftaar Indian Restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. This restaurant truly stands out for its amazing dishes and cocktail options. The Peri Peri Chicken was a burst of flavors, perfectly spiced and grilled to perfection. It was accompanied by a side of Lacha Parantha, which was flaky and delicious. For dessert, I indulged in the Rabri Creme Brulee, a unique fusion that was both creamy and rich with the traditional flavors of Rabri. It was an absolute delight to the taste buds. The Kabab Roll was another highlight, with tender and flavorful kababs wrapped in a soft roll, creating a satisfying blend of textures and tastes. One of the standout dishes was the Paneer Makhani Steak, a creative twist on a classic Indian dish. The paneer was cooked to perfection and served with a flavorful Makhani sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. The cocktail options at Raftaar are also worth mentioning. Each drink was expertly crafted, offering a perfect balance of flavors and complementing the dishes beautifully. Overall, Raftaar Indian Restaurant offers a culinary journey that is not to be missed. The combination of amazing dishes, creative cocktails, and excellent service makes it a top recommendation for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. I can t wait to visit again and explore more of their menu. Definitely music choice is so good too creating amazing vibe to enjoy food and evening Highly recommend to visit ! Vegetarian options: Options available

Incredible flavours, textures, and smells. I am so happy Raftaar has opened and I hope it succeeds. 10/10 you should come here. Try the bharve golgappe and the malai chaap!!!

Delicious food, warm and welcoming. Music was a bit loud but okay for a bar setting. Food was excellent.

We had a wonderful time here. The appetizer was a worth to try. The atmosphere and the ambience is marvelous.

Recently visited this place and had a fantastic time. The food was marvelous, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Highly recommended! Vegetarian options: Dal Makhani Paneer Tikka Masala Tandoori Soya chaap

Had an amazing Saturday evening, excellent food and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Food was delicious, and service was excellent. Surprise birthday dessert was extra special. Get here before everyone else does!

It was our first time here and it was really good especially the server she was really nice.

I recently visited Raftaar cafe and was impressed by both the delectable dishes and the impeccable service. The menu boasted a delightful variety, and each dish I tried exceeded expectations. The staff was not only friendly but also attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A definite must-visit for Indian food lovers ! Must Try Dishes - Peri Peri Chicken Tikka Chicken Seekh kebab roll Tandoori momos

The food was something that really stood out

I went for a party yesterday. Served by Dikshant. Excellent service provided.

Excellent service and atmosphere

best service received at the party yesterday. enjoyed a lot

Excellent food and atmosphere

Raftaar has been best place in Toronto for Indian food and drinks and has been my all time favourite. Also, great service is provided by dikshant whenever I visit always had a great experience.

Dikshant was great!! Really enjoyed the food and taste! Would definitely love to come back.

Our server Dikshant was super welcoming and kind to our family. Raaftar is a great addition to the neighborhood and will become a regular spot for us. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We had the tandoori momos, paneer tikka, and paneer pasanda. Note for the chef: if possible offer options to have less salt in the dishes. Lots of vegetarian options and very kid friendly. Dikshant shared that the food prep for vegetarian dishes was done entirely separate from meat dishes which is a thoughtful touch. He was also super kind to make us a cocktail to try!

So good food and sp great service. Definitely recommend.

I got a takeaway from Raftaar Kitchen and Bar, and it was amazing! My friend Palchhin suggested the Soya Malai Chaap, and it was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Raftaar is definitely the place for great food and friendly service!

Great ambiance. Awesome food. Great customer service. I really appreciate their suggestions, especially dikshant bro. Mostly recommend place. Do visit.

Six of us went to Raftaar for dinner after friends recommended it. The food was absolutely delicious. Very friendly staff and chef. Thanks DK for the excellent cocktails - especially the Lavante Fiesta.

Delicious food, dont pass on the garlic Naan. Service from BK was great. Vegetarian options: Separate veggie section on the menu. Lots of options. Food : 5/5 |

Went for date night dinner at Raftaar kitchen, in the old Bar Hop location near Pape and Danforth. The food was so good. Im still uncomfortably full. The server was really helpful at helping me choose what to order, I had a couple of options I was considering and I told him what I liked and he made recommendations. The chicken Tikka masala was amazing and my husband loved his mutton boti masala (this one has bones), both are spicy and I asked for extra spicy. The fries were amazing but were quite spicy and had a wonderful kick. The naans were so good. My husband loved his drinks. All in all it was a great experience. If you dont drink the cost is much cheaper. The only thing I didnt enjoy was there was a QR code on the table for the menu. I prefer a menu, I dont like scrolling on my phone. But I didnt ask for a menu, maybe they had them. Parking: The night we were out there were lots of paid street parking spots available. Theres normally lots of free street parking in the area too. It depends on the night and thats happening on the Danforth to find parking.

The place is nice and has some potential (love their unique cocktails!) but some investments should be considered to improve the design and atmosphere of the place. The washroom is smelly and dirty. The tables/seats at the front door need some interior improvements otherwise it feels cold and unfriendly to seat there. Food is nice, but I m not an expert in Indian food so can t say much. I d go again for cocktails but the place def needs improvements for it to get 5 stars.

Wheelchair accessibility: The place is wheelchair accessible. Food

BEST Dish ever: Piri Piri chicken! We wanted to order a second one as we were sharing the great portion size. Loved the korma too, so much care put into the masala they use for each dish, and I can tell the meats are marinated over night - sooo moist.

Food was amazing. Super high quality, high end Indian fusions.

Great new place on the Danforth.

I had dinner with a friend here yesterday. Our server Dikshant was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He answered my questions and made some recommendations that were excellent. The cocktails were some next level amazing I had the mango one was delicious. They were pretty and delicious. The food was well prepared and delicious with flavour and the perfect amount of heat. I look forward to going on the weekend to enjoy the DJ. Check out their IG page it s super cute. Love the videos.

Raftaar is one of the very few restaurants in Downtown Toronto that can satisfy your spice cravings. The pricing is pretty reasonable. Love the vibe thats set by the music and the lights. Every item on the menu has a unique flavour. Must try: Threaded Paneer Sticks, Truffle Fries, Chicken Korma, Mutton Railway Curry, Les Treches Gulab Jamun

Went for my Birthday dinner Loved the food n ambience Very creative fusion food Staff was fabulous took care of everything and made me feel special Dj was nice Thanking their team Mehr Sahib Prabhnoor Palchin All the best !!

Great place to visit with friends and family. Amazing food, great ambiance. Would definitely visit again.

Momos were delish , staff was super friendly and attentive
