Aamara — Restaurant in Toronto

I had the pleasure of dining at AMARA, and it truly exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the entire evening. The ambiance is elegant yet comfortable, with soft lighting, tasteful décor, and a modern aesthetic that creates a relaxed, yet upscale feel. The space feels spacious but intimate, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions.

The menu at AMARA is nothing short of impressive. Every dish is a beautiful fusion of flavors and artfully presented. I started with their signature vegetarian dish the malai koftha which was a delightful combination of sweetness and tang, balanced perfectly with a light, creamy dressing. The mains were equally spectacular; I opted for the pan-seared sea bass, which was cooked to perfection with a crispy, golden crust and tender, flaky interior.

But what truly made the evening unforgettable was the impeccable service from Shabila and Anisha. Both of them went above and beyond to ensure that we had an exceptional dining experience. Shabila was so attentive from the start, providing expert recommendations and making sure we were comfortable throughout the meal. Anisha’s warm and personable approach added a personal touch to the experience, and her knowledge of the menu and wine pairing suggestions really enhanced the overall meal. Anisha took great efforts to take as many pictures of us until we were fully satisfied and it made all of us feel like home.

If you're looking for a place that combines exceptional food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere, AMARA is the perfect choice. Thank you, Shabila and Anisha, for making our night so enjoyable. We can’t wait...

Michelin Star in-person but worst Uber eats (health concerns)

Visit - We visited Aamara on May 18th. Everything start to end was astounding. Our host Anisha was amazing (she managed 8-9 tables very well with a smile on her face and paying attention to each small detail)

Food Taste- We ordered pani puri (not in the menu and they were kind enough to accommodate), veg biryani, masala dosa, Dal Makhni, and steam rice. Everything was cooked to the perfection. Everything was fresh that you could tell from the taste.

Presentation was superb.

We finally had found our best Indian spot. We’ll surely visit again!!

Worst Uber Experience Following our visit Sunday, we ordered Uber eats next day and our experience was totally opposite.

Packaging - Worst with so many pins that it hurtled me while opening. Everything was in plastic containers (we expected better from Amara to use paper boxes)

Food - Everything was utter spicy even after mentioning to keep everything mild. My 2 year old daughter had been vomiting since 5 am (she had potli samosa last night which were undercooked). I had acidity due to the food and stomach upset.

Food tasted bland and very spicy. Except the lassi and green chutney everything was sub par and I have serious concerns about visiting this place again. Unfortunately our experience turned upside down by their Uber eats delivery. I know they were not on Uber eats for a long time and they even mentioned when I asked in my visit that they had just started after a year. They should really stop Uber if they can’t maintain the same quality. They are spoiling years of hard...

This restaurant holds a special place in my heart because it’s where my husband and I got married in 2024!

From the very beginning, the owner, Thamil, was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was incredibly accommodating, meeting with us multiple times to ensure we felt comfortable with every detail of our wedding planning. Since Aamara was a relatively new restaurant at the time, choosing it as our wedding venue (for a 35-person celebration) was a bit of a leap of faith—but they truly exceeded our expectations. While minor hiccups can happen at any event, the team handled everything seamlessly. The staff made the evening so enjoyable, and our guests left on such a high note!

One of the things that drew us to Aamara was its elegant and modern ambiance—not your typical Indian restaurant setting. It provided the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and dinner. And then there’s the food—what can I say? It’s phenomenal. Hands down, the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor. I’d even compare it to a Michelin-starred experience I had in Dubai. Their butter chicken is a must-try—easily one of their standout dishes. You can tell the chef pours his heart into every plate.

I just went back earlier this week and again the food was exceptional! I have probably dined there a few times now and can't wait to return! A huge thank you to the entire Aamara team for making our wedding so special. Whether you're looking for a fantastic dining experience or the perfect place to host an event, Aamara is an...
