We read good Google reviews and decided to give the Veggie Planet restaurant a try. The restaurant offers vegetarian and vegan options.
Parking is plentiful and free. Free Wi-Fi. The inside of the restaurant definitely needs updating and cleaning; not that's its totally disgusting but just needs a good clean.
When you enter the restaurant the menu is posted on a wall that is easily read but it does not have any explanation below each menu item which makes you wonder what's it made out of. I think by offering a few words underneath each item giving an explanation as to what it is would definitely help people who are not of East Indian descent.
The washroom (there is only one shared washroom) itself was not totally clean but again not totally disgusting; which is similar to the inside decor of the restaurant.
Food: we love the fact that there is the option of having your food fried or baked. The Indian Samosa is a definite five star! It was delicious and the chutney sauce that accompanied it was excellent.
The Vada Burger and Kachori Burger were absolutely awesome and is something we would definitely order again. We love the fact that the burgers came loaded with lettuce onions cucumbers tomatoes in other words it was extremely flavourful, better than any other fast food restaurant.
We ordered two sides, one potato wedges and onion rings. The potato wedges were very well seasoned and crispy and is a definite 5-star side dish. The onion rings however lacked flavour and crunch; we were quite surprised that you only get 6 small onion rings. We only give this 2 stars and would definitely not order the onion rings again.
Although there are signs posted throughout the restaurant for customers to clean up their table, not all customers are respectful and this unfortunately leaves several tables dirty. Staff need to pay better attention to cleaning tables and chairs as there were several dirty tables and chairs upon our arrival.
The Basil Pesto Naanza is fantastic! The crust is thin and crispy, vegatables, broccoli peppers olives and feta cheese make it taste extremely velvety and creamy. This is a definite 5-star dish.
The Schezwan Naanza is equally fantastic with an added zing of spice! The red peppers green peppers broccoli green onions black olives and mushrooms make this a definite 5-star dish.
While we were there, several East Indian families came into this restaurant which makes us think it's definitely an authentic East Indian food restaurant.
So the real question is, would we return? The answer is a definite yes! We do hope the owners do a cleaning but it's the food that we were definitely...
Read moreI picked up an order from this restaurant while doing Uber Eats, and the vibe inside left a positive first impression—people seemed happy, enjoying their food. I made a mental note to visit the place later with my wife.
Fast forward to last night: My wife and I, as always, were undecided about where to eat out. Since I cook well and she’s basically a master chef, we usually find most restaurants underwhelming. But I remembered this spot and suggested we give it a try.
We ordered three things: pani puri, pav bhaji, and Schezwan noodles. And let me say—this turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had.
Pani puri was absolutely terrible—nothing close to what it should be. Pav bhaji was even worse. The pav (bread) seemed store-bought, undercooked, and poorly buttered. The bhaji itself tasted like it came straight from a frozen packet, just heated up with some spices and oil thrown in. I say this because I recently tried a frozen paneer dish from Metro, and the texture and taste were eerily similar. It had that same bland, over-garlicky, processed feel.
Then came the Schezwan noodles. I don’t know who told them this was how Schezwan is supposed to taste. It was barely edible—neither spicy nor flavorful, just some random sauce mixed with noodles.
To top it off, the ambience was completely off. If you’re offering dine-in service and promoting a good experience, please don’t serve food in silver foil containers with plastic cutlery and paper sheets. It felt more like a takeout center than a proper restaurant.
Honestly, this was a horrible experience. I rarely eat out because I know the standards I expect are hard to meet, but this place was exceptionally bad. If you’re the owner or manager, feel free to reach out—I’d be more than happy to explain what’s going wrong and offer suggestions. My wife said not to blame the staff, and she’s right—it’s a system issue. The whole approach...
Read moreWent for dinner after a friend's recommendation, but very much disappointed 😞. Ordered Pav bhaiji, Dahi puri, noodle burger and tawa biriyani. Only pav bhaji was decent but bread was so thin. Dahi puris were so tiny and it was just dahi and puri with no suace, puri were so tiny that you can stuff 3 puris in one go without opening your mouth wide. Noodle burger was so soggy that water was dripping from the bun, noodle inside tasted pathetic. Tawa biriyani quantity was so less, they added raw vegetables without cooking and tasted terrible..🤮 they charge premium price for every item. Paid ~$45 for these items and not enough for 2 adults and a kid, we left home hungry. There is no proper aeration inside and could smell bad oil that didn't go away even after coming home. Please avoid this restaurant as they have shrunk the quantity and hiked the price.
Update after owner's comment: I don't agree with owner's comment, other restaurants make better food, my reviews are always honest and if someone serves good food, I praise them. Every item you served had scope for improvement. Noodle burger was so soggy that we had to throw the bread as it was completely soaked, almost became a paste, people buy it due to its fancy name and there are opportunities to make better burger. Tawa biriyani had uncooked vegetables and photos attached here, tasted so pathetic, I request the owner to taste their own biriyani and compare with other restaurants, owner refuses to accept the improvements suggested, rather very...
