I tried their weekend buffet ($27+tax) and had a surprisingly good time here.
Started my meal with some mouth watering pani poori (the pani was 🤤), samosa and veg dumpling (tasty)
The main course had some veg curries such as veg korma, chana/chole, paneer masala, daal which were all okay
The non veg had butter chicken, tandoori chicken pieces, goat nihari
Served with basmati rice, veg pulao (was tasteless) and hot butter naan (really good)
The service was not the fastest but average. the naans became cold and tikka was not fresh. Butter chicken was good!
The chef came and asked us how the food was once and the server poured water in our glasses just once.
They have a no food wastage policy that charges you 50% extra per person or plate if you do fill up your plate more than you can eat, which is quite appreciable.
Overall a decent experience but I don’t think the price justifies the limited menu here. (Put some biryani please)

A cozy North Indian restaurant located in Kanata. How was it?
The place - looks compact but upon entering there’s decent seating and the graphics on the walls were spot on! Whoever designed the interior and the menu graphics definitely deserves a shoutout!
The food - we ordered non veg thali and a chicken tikka masala rice bowl.
Non Veg Thali: consisted of 2 non veg curries (butter chicken & rogan josh) and 1 veg curry (paneer masala), served with some rice, raita, gulab jamun, papad and a big, hot butter naan that was perfectly made.
I expected it to show up in an actual thali but oh well.
Chicken Tikka Masala rice bowl - was my personal favourite. The spice and taste was phenomenal. Never had anything like this before! Must try!
Overall the service was quick, the place was clean and so were the washrooms. (Ps- They had a chaar-pai outside!)
The prices are on the higher side and the quantity looks less but I believe the taste and ambience justifies it. (A chai costs 4$ here)
Will definitely come back again to have tikkas and other veg items!

I’ve visited this place 2 times; The first time I had chicken biryani and fish pakora which was good enough, however my Indian tastebuds wanted more spice.
The next visit – I had chicken momos, chicken tikka masala, Jeera rice and butter naan. This was fabulous. The taste and quality was top notch. I did tell them in advance about the chicken quantity and so they did serve enough.
The service is impressive, a royal experience indeed. The server was polite and looked after us every now and then.
The prices seem to be on the higher side, but the overall experience does justify for every penny spent.

Loved their Hyderabadi Chicken & Lamb Biryani! Tasted just like back home and super reasonable price at 10$ for chicken, 15$ for Lamb. Tried their Haleem as well, was good.
The staff was super friendly as well.

A Pakistani restaurant in downtown that always catches my attention. Having finally tried their food, its an easy recommendation to anyone craving for authentic desi-pakistani food.
Biryani, chicken Karahi, Kebabs served with piping hot buttery naan are their specialty.
The restaurant has a wonderful desi vibe. Their food prices were kind of on the higher side but considering the location, they were reasonable.
The service was good but they took 30 minutes to bring our food - which was very delightful, tasty and worth every dollar.
I don’t understand why people have bad reviews here. Mine has been the opposite!
