Ambience and service was top notch. The food place leans a little more to the high end instead of a quick serve everyday dine-in Indian restaurant. This fact reflects into the interior dining decor and table setup complete with wine glasses. The service was also up there to match. We were directed to our table and duly provided drinking water. We were asked if we want wine to which we refused. The food and food presentation was excellent. I have no complaints with my order of Murg Methi Dhabewala (chicken in traditional curry with fenugreek) $17.99. I paired it with garlic naan which was $3.50 extra. The curry is spicy, but not hot which is just the way I like it. Serving size is a little more than enough for 1 person, and it should be good for sharing. My South Indian friend ordered the chicken biryani. Other than the minor comment he had that the biryani was a little salty, it was otherwise good. Talking more about the interior setting of the restaurant is to mention the TV displays present. There were 3 TVs playing some continuous videos. The rightmost has some Indian or desi music videos on shuffle. The middle TV has some Gordon Ramsay or some cooking show playing. The leftmost is showing some Burna Boy music. Only the leftmost TV has the volume turned on. The setup kind of breaks from the whole classy ambience the restaurant is trying to go for. I find that playing Afrobeats kills the theme you would expect from a South Indian restaurant.

Please don't eat from here and spoil your health, worst food i have tried ever, never follow instructions and never be kind to others, when I ordered two Szechuan fried rice from uber eats, I asked for less spicy they made it extra spicy and when I called restaurant, the staff told me to add some sugar or vinegar or plain rice or have the fried rice with lassi. Worst staff and worst service. Never choose this place. SORRY to say this, its first time in Canada, I am experiencing this kind of service from any restaurant. Instead of giving proper response, the girl who took the call was teaching me how to make food less spicy. Forgot to add, When I asked the girl, what kind of spice you use in food, so I can check with my doctor to take medicine she thought i am asking their secret recipe LOL, she said its secret then said its House sauce. After taking a small spoon of Szechuan fried rice my face started to burn and became red. Being an Indian we eat spicy but this was out of the world. 8/10 doesn't mean full spicy, it means out if the food is spicy then, I need only 80% of that spic level. If u had any questions regarding that, you should have called to my number. And moreover I ordered 2 fried rices and for other I mentioned only 1/10 for spice level. But you gave same level of spice for that to. That means your chef or who ever is taking for this is not paying attention.

I usually don't write bad reviews but this restaurant begs it. Its the most horrible food i have ever had. I ordered "Balti Chicken" and when i reached home after picking up i see they gave butter chicken (photo attached) and it was horrendous. The mutton biriyani i ordered was soooo bad that even i could have cooked better blindfolded. They claim to be creating this restaurant in nostalgia of the original Calcutta club. Either their story is a complete fake and they have never had that food or just want to use the name to make some money in canada. Because i have been to Calcutta club and food is million times better than what these guys are selling. This restaurant is absolutely fake and the food is beyond horrible. My owner or Chef whoever is reading this review note that boiling few pieces of goat meat into a soggy mixture of rice and masala does not make it biriyani. At minimum have some honor in your life and maintain atleast a decent quality. If you can't even do that then atleast give the order asked for and not something else, dont swap dishes thinking customer cannot tell the difference between balti chicken and butter chicken

Definitely the best Indian food & HAKKA restaurant of Guelph. Under the new management and Chef, the food is fantastic. Quite a bit of options to chose from. They offer mouthwatering food and you can even decide which spice level you want. We tried the Lamb Shank Biriyani and Chowmein & we were simply blown away after trying them. The price is reasonable and they serve adequate quantity. They prepare fresh food, so please allow 15-20 mins after you place your order. The interior of the place is quite nice too. Well maintained hygienic place with separate washrooms for male & female. Hospitality of the staffs are something to notice as well. Overall it’s a great place to dine in or take out. On Friday - Sunday they stay open till 4 am. So you can imagine how busy they are & probably the only dine in place in Guelph who stays open that late. I loved their food & I will definitely keep coming back to try the other items in their menu!

This is not intended to be a hasty review, this was after over a week of trying to get a refund for the meal. Sliced up bug was found in the food. Tried dealing with “the Manager” multiple times but each conversation ended with him getting more upset than someone finding bugs in their food. Very poor customer service. Lost a customer over how a situation was dealt with.. not because of contaminated food. Restaurant had a inspection done by public health December 9th(the day prior to my order) having 1 critical infraction of improper food storage and 6 non-critical infractions due to kitchen cleanliness. It seems to be an on going issue for this establishment according to their inspections. This can be found on public health website. It’s too bad it came to this, the food did look good before finding a bug in it. The manager spoiled the situation more than the bug.

It's a home away from home feels... As you go inside the aura of the restaurant takes you back to your natives as its a magic door. The food is cherry on cake it has all the spices and warmth of love which was served so fresh right from the counter. Chef Tejinder Singh should be a part of MasterChef for his cuisines have a ethical and modern touch in all dishes we were served the content and quality for so amazing that if it was possible I would eat it everyday. Even the owners were so curtious that we were escorted to seat and were served food with care and precision.. if you are reading this to have a second thought that should we try this restaurant I would say their shouldnt be any second thoughts..One of the best thing that happened to me was to try food at Kolkata club which is scrumptious ❤️
