Great spot to grab a bite after class. The food is affordable (especially with the weekly specials) and delicious. The chicken biryani is my personal favourite. Wait times can be 10-15 minutes and there is no indoor seating, so take you’ll have to take your meal to go.
So arrogant lady in the reception. Just ask her why the order is delay and the lady behaved so rude and went inside, shut the door loudly. She is a big tall lady because there were 2 girls at night and the other one was so good. First teach your staff how to behave respectfully to others. Very bad experience.
I've been here a few times. The food is pretty good, but the price is somewhat high for the amount of food you get. But the service?? They're nice, but they take literally forever. There have been numerous times where I was told it'd take roughly 20 minutes for my food to be finished, but I'd had ended up waiting for upwards to 45 minutes. TLDR: Food is okay but takes too long; not worth the wait or price.
I just did my first "too good to go" order from here and was very pleasantly surprised. I'd ordered from here years ago and always enjoyed my food, so I decided to give it a try with too good to go and see what happened. I'm sure the food will vary from day to day, but I received 3 large pieces of tandoori chicken, a large amount of rice, and a container of butter chicken sauce. More than enough for dinner for two people with leftovers to spare. The chicken is on the spicy side, but not too much for my preference. I definitely recommend.
Omg!!! The hugest chicken biryani I have ever had! WOW!!! The Taste is so good. This is impressive!
The food is almost always great but I wish they start dine in option as well, just like their Mississauga location!
Placed a take out order on weekend, very quick & friendly service! And good biryani.. . Wish there are more chicken pieces, it only has 2 small but good rice quantity for $13
I’m a regular customer who buy food at least twice a week from this place. I have been noticing that the quality of the food is getting worse every visit. I bought Tandoori Chicken Biriyani yesterday (10/02/2024) it was terrible. It smelled really bad when I opened box. The chicken and rice wasn’t tasting right, I am damn sure both were old and heated multiple times. I have worked in restaurants so I know if the meat is good or not .The colour and taste of the rice are different every other time. As I mentioned, I buy this same thing at least twice a week and this is unacceptable for someone who drive 20 minutes to this restaurant and you guys are serving this, hell no!!
This restaurant combines my 2 favourite thing: butter chicken and shawarma. Amazing food and good portion. The price has gone up a lot lately so thats a downside.
I got the chicken shawarma on rice and it was ready quick and the service was very friendly! Highly recommend to check them out.
Great food and service! Definitely recommend!

Amazing
best shawarma i ve had in waterloo
amazing service and delicious food!
Great customer service and food is always good!!
Great experience and food
hair in food Edit: definitely have to stop ordering from here now. This was my go-to place for a long time, since their shawarma chicken on rice used to be decent, but their portions got smaller and I just got food poisoning 15min after eating it. Definitely the last straw. I can t trust their hygiene anymore.
Love auntys
I ordered first time. Very bad taste. Naan looks like a sponge. Chutney taste was also . Worst food.
Good
Good biriyani. Good service
Great food
Amazing Service
Such a cute spot and the workers are very transparent about the wait timings. Food is cooked fresh to order. Will be back God willing!
Amazing cheesecake for sure
Amazing food and great service provided by staff!
Phenomenal
Got poutine last time and Biryani now!! Love the taste!
Great desserts!!
Avoid this place if you can. Please encourage restaurant still open with dine in option and provide resonable priced food.you need to wait for a long time. The worst thing is that during covid they closed their dine in feature. Now they are getting extra profit for that. Even if you are paying for food you need to wait 30-50 mins. You have to stand there. They reduced food quality. The biggest drawback is dine in option. Hate this restaurant.
Unique menu with something for everyone and love so much the personalized notes with food orders
Best food ever
Food and staff really good. Definitely recommend!!

Love their biryani!
amazing customer service
Came here at 2 AM and the server was so nicre
Very nice staff.
Overpriced and not tasty. I was told in 20 minutes my pick up order will be ready. After I arrive, they tell me it will be another 20 minutes! After at least a total 45 minute wait for a 2 item order, they give me food. Also, instead of samosas I ordered, they gave me potatoe wedges and charged me $7.50 for small portion of wedges! They are not even transparent: wont give you itemized receipt unless you ask a few times. Chicken Biryani had weird after taste and went bad in 1 day, despite refrigeration. Also, the veggie samosas are overpriced: 3 small samosas for $7.00! You can get the exact same Samosas from 5 Star Shawarma in Waterloo, for much cheaper: 5 for $4.99!
Prompt and accurate services. Definitely coming back here again!
Ordered Daal with Naan. Authentic taste and food quality were great. Food proportion corresponds to the price. I would recommend 10/10.

Good food
Must try chocolate Cadillac cheesecake.
Good food.
I recently ordered food from Auntys Kitchen and was extremely disappointed. The food was bad, the service was slow, and the prices were outrageous for the quality offered. To make matters worse, the girl staff with specs was incredibly rude and arrogant, making the entire experience unpleasant. What s more concerning is that I believe many of the positive reviews on Google are fake. It seems that Auntys Kitchen is rewarding with free cookies for these misleading reviews to cover up their poor service and mediocre food.
Amazing food and amazing service.
Great meal, nice cookie and the staff are friendly
Amazing menu and great customer service!!
This place is sooo scrumptious. I have auntys kitchen for lunch I have aunty kitchen for dinner I even have auntys kitchen for dessert even midnight snack and even breakfast. I am half auntys kitchen by now!
Nostalgic! And great taste
Ate here through undergrad. Came back a decade late and still tastes great! Would have loved to still have the seating area that used to be here! Food : 5/5
Daily deals are nice
Their cupcakes are amazing !!
Tasty food.... Nice behavior.. Food
Their daily specials are top value in the plaza. So far I have tried the tandoori chicken biryani and butter chicken, both give a lot of food for cheap.
Nice and clean. Service time is reasonable as well. They have daily specials as well. Worth checking out.
Quantity wise its a really good deal, but taste wise its above average. I tried Tandoori Biriyani and it was just okay. Tandoori is hard and rice doesnt meet the expectations. Overall its just a decent spot, but need to improve the taste.
Good experience nice food
Great portion sizes. I recommend the butter chicken dinner. Edit: Unfortunate price increase of over $2 for the butter chicken dinner. Not worth it anymore. Food : 5/5
Great food! Best service
The food is good but its really upsetting when you buy a meal and its advertised and shows a picture with salad then when you get it theres just a few slices if onion and no salad. Watch out when you order the family platter that feeds 2-3 its supposed to come with a salad but they mislead you and just garnish the top with onions. Bad
Came to this place after my friend suggested it. Absolute amazing food with great offers everyday.
The place is fantastic and phenomenal
Missing vegetables not available on the menu
Nyc staff and nyc service

Amazing food. Great authentic Pakistani taste. Chicken tandoori wrap with tawa paratha is exemptional. Love the service by Jaysuriya
Visited Auntys Kitchen and was thoroughly impressed! The food was a symphony of tastes.The service was exceptional, and the staffs behaviours was good. Auntys Kitchen is a hidden gem that deserves recognition for its delicious cuisine.
Fusion Chicken Shawarma is a must try.
Aunty s kitchen epitomizes culinary excellence, serving up authentic Indian dishes at reasonable prices.
Nice food
Pretty solid food for good value
how adorable! As a fellow industry fanatic, the extra care and thought means so much! so delicious! thank you.
Super friendly service and awesome food
High price with very small quantity for wraps and burgers. Biryani is good and nihari is a waste. They should improve their quantity of wraps, and burgers etc. for better experience.
Great food selection!
Amazing service and good food
After I ordered and paid online, they attempted to fool me into paying more in-store with the clearly false claim that a promotion I have successfully applied online was in-store only.
Good customer service, the place is only for takeaway.
great food!
Good experience! Thanks for the last minute cake!
I ordered a full red velvet cake through Skip the Dishes. It was a beautiful cake, but it was marketed and sold as The Cheesecake Factory red velvet. When we received it, its from a bakery called Elite sweets. When I looked up Elite Sweets, its a bakery in Brampton. I generally wouldnt mind, but I bought this as a gift to be delivered for someones special day, hoping they would get the cheesecake factory red velvet. She enjoyed the cake nonetheless!
Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options, I got the Chana poutine Food
Good food long wait Vegetarian options: Good Food : 4/5 |
It s among my favorite places to eat on campus at Waterloo.
Yummy food, and fairly fast! 100% should try.
The food was alright, the service was quick but there is nowhere to sit inside its basically a take out place
Butter chicken poutine is unbelievable. But man it takes like 30min to get your food
Delicious biriyani with affordable price and good staffs as well
Mashallah.
Good butter chicken and wide variety menu.
Food is okay but very poor communication and No customer service. They handed me uncooked biryani and i came back all the way just to get the replacement but they are not at all helpful. Should change the staff.
Worst service ever! The manager is stupid and the staff is no less.
The biriyani is really good
very yummy, warm, delicious food. fast service
They deliver only shawarma on the rice and naan. If you want to explore more option you have to go for take out option. Doordash also delivers the order of auntys kitchen but they will charge you little extra than original price of restaurant. Food
Late:(
Best biryani
Am sharing my experience as a courier driver. I was doing skip the dishes and got order from The Cup Cake Factory, which is in the Aunty s Kitchen. Like I don t understand why they have a different name if I have to take order from same restaurant. And where it s navigating different locations while going through Skip the dishes app?? I was like make three rounds around the building finding the store. Isn t it crazy . At least you should hand a board in front of Aunty s kitchen showing that this store is also inside here so that new comers don t confused
Very nice restaurant, good food and large portions.
Super good food the fusion is amazing w place would come here again for sure
Food was delicious and the staff was friendly
