Daal Roti - Barrie — Restaurant in Barrie

One of the worst experiences. We were a group of 10 that dined in together. We ordered the below items, our honest review as we all felt the same. 1.Mango lassi - 5/5 : Very good. 2.Lime Soda - 4/5 : Good. 3.Chilli Paneer - 2/5 : Paneer was hard and rubbery. 4.Non veg platter - 1/5 : Chicken Tikka and Tandoori Chicken were okayish. Seek Kebab was very hard and not tasty. Hariyali kabab was the worst, felt like either the chicken was old meat or undercooked and with a lot of artificial colour, we left them on the plate as is. We told them why we left them on the plate. They seemed to not get bothered by that. 5.Chilly Chicken - 0/5 : The worst one. Chicken was tasting weird like dried fish and very hard. Disturbing taste. 6.Butter Naan and Roti - 3/5 : Decent. 7.Paneer Tikka Masala - 2.5/5 : Just okay. 8.Chicken Kalamiri - 3/5 : Decent. 9.Chicken Vindaloo - 2.5/5 : Just okay. 10.Jeera Rice - 3.5/5 : Decent. 11.Dal Tadka - 1/5 : Never had such a worst Dal Tadka. They seem to have mixed chilly powder to already cooked dish just bcos we wanted it to be on the spicier side. We could feel the uncooked chilly powder. We couldn't enjoy it.

Although the service was decent and they kept asking for our feedback they never really acknowledged them as something could be faulty at their end considering the feedback we kept giving after each course of the meals. We rather were told that no one else in the other tables gave such feedback. Our bill came to 239$ overall. Inspite of telling them that we were completely dissatisfied and felt like we were cheated for what we paid. They just kept saying thanks for the feedback but not even had the professionalism to accept their mistake or reduce the overall bill a little considering the worst experience they gave us. I would say we were cheated...

We made a reservation about 30 minutes before arriving, and the staff politely informed us that the restaurant was quite busy and that we might have to wait 10–15 minutes upon arrival. We appreciated their transparency and understanding attitude. However, after arriving on time, our wait extended to nearly 25 additional minutes.

Throughout our visit, the staff remained courteous, attentive, and genuinely tried their best to accommodate us despite the rush. Unfortunately, the experience took a disappointing turn when we requested a sixth chair for our table. Despite the team’s sincere efforts, we were informed that certain guests—apparently friends of the owner—were given priority seating.

We also noticed a small group seated in the left corner (two couples with a child on a white baby chair) occupying a two-seater sofa and an additional chair for a total of four guests, which seemed unnecessary given how busy the restaurant was. When the staff politely requested them to adjust and free up the chair so it could be used for waiting guests, they declined, and unfortunately, no further action was taken.

While we truly appreciate the professionalism and patience of the serving staff, it was disappointing to see clear preferential treatment extended to guests associated with the owner. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and diminished what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.

We hope the management takes this feedback seriously and ensures a fair and consistent policy for all patrons moving forward. The restaurant has great potential, but fairness and equal treatment are just as important as good food and service in creating lasting positive impressions.

Two star is only for the...

Went in to order to take home. Ordered 5 items with main item being the Goat Roti. Before paying he read back the order and we paid and left a 20% tip as it was our first time there. Went in 20min later grabbed the bag and drinks and headed home. Well, no Goat Roti was in the bag. I called back right away and explained I was just there and didn’t get the main dish and his response was “ok”. I asked “ what do you mean? Ok? Am I coming to get it?” He says “let me check the order one min” when he got back he said “ no goat roti was ordered” I responded, kind of in shock as we were the only ones there at 3:30pm. “So… the order was $60 for spring rolls, bread and rice and two pops?” This guy asked me if I wanted to order the goat roti!!! Didn’t apologize not once!?!? Didn’t offer for me to come get it!?!? He robbed us for a main item 18.99 plus tax and basically no chance of getting back. No admission. Sorry for my luck and hung up…. DONT ORDER WITH THESE GUYS. THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A RECEIPT AND WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. I HAVE THE TRANSACTION TO PROVE WHAT I PAID FOR AS HE ADMITTED THE “4” ITEMS I DEFINITELY GOT.

So how can you explain overcharging me about $20 if I’m...
