Bhoj Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Toronto

Embarking on a culinary expedition through the bustling streets of Toronto, we rekindled our love affair with Bhoj, a gastronomic haven that had previously woven its flavors into our family's tapestry of celebratory memories. Amidst the unpredictable tides of the post-COVID-19 era, it was a delight to discover that Bhoj had not only weathered the storm but was flourishing, much to the elation of our eager palates.

As we navigated through our homecoming feast, the 'Palak Paneer' stood out, a testament to the art of vegetarian cuisine. It was a lush, velvety tapestry of spinach, masterfully blended with spices and paneer that could make even the most devout carnivores pause in admiration. Its creamy embrace was spoken of with fervor among my vegetarian comrades, and for good reason. Craving the comfort of nostalgia, we indulged in 'Aloo Paratha', unleashing a flood of memories with each bite. These parcels of potato-filled joy were comparable to the cherished homemade versions crafted by friends, affirming the restaurant's proud, family-run ethos.

Our culinary journey was far from over. We found ourselves drawn back to Bhoj, enticed by the siren call of their Tandoori temptations and vegetarian virtuosities. The 'Jeera Aloo' and 'Kofta Malai' were revelations—where the latter's tender paneer cheese, cradling a heart of cashews and mawa, bathed in a sumptuous creamy korma sauce, could easily stand toe-to-toe with any meat-packed dish. The anticipation for their starter dishes simmers within us, yet it's the sizzle of the curry and the char of the tandoor that beckons us back for encore after encore. Bhoj's location, a mere stone's throw from the chic enclave of Yorkville, adds a sprinkle of convenience to its already irresistible allure.

With each take-away experience, the warmth of Bhoj's hospitality is felt not just in the heart but also through their generous offering—complimentary naan bread with purchases over 20 Canadian dollars. It's a gesture that harmonizes beautifully with the symphony of flavors contained within our take-away box. In the chill of Toronto's sub-zero climes, Bhoj's authentic Indian fare transcends mere sustenance. It's a culinary embrace, a heartwarming reminder of home. Their dishes are not just cooked; they're crafted with love, a sentiment deeply felt with each delectable mouthful. Amidst the welcoming atmosphere and lively banter with the staff, your heart is sure to be warmed...

I'm perplexed as to why Bhoj has so many good reviews.

I made a reservation for this Yorkville restaurant and it wasn't what I was expecting.

We weren't offered cocktails with our meal. It was only after we heard another table asking about drinks, that we also followed suit.

The food was substandard Indian food. I get better in my neighborhood. It was disappointing as we were looking forward to a good Indian meal. We ordered the Vegetarian platter to start, which when came out had chicken and fish and everything was old and overcooked, Butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, eggplant bharta and garlic naan. The chicken vindaloo tasted only like chili powder, the eggplant was incredibly salty. The only things that were good were the naan and the special butter chicken.

Service was slow with other tables getting served before us, that arrived after us. They did give us 15% off our bill because of this. There was a loud noise from a mechanical room as well, that was constant and not helping the atmosphere of the dining room.

Towards the end of our a meal one of the women working in the restaurant came and sat a table down across from us. We saw her arm had a massive (toonie size +) wound with a matching size blister next to it. Needless to say, we left feeling ill.

Bottom line, I won't be back to Bhoj. Perhaps it's your local Indian food place and in that case I would stick to the naan and the special butter chicken and...

Mmmmm! YOU MUST EAT HERE!!!!

I just moved onto Scollard Street and I haven't finished unpacking my belongings. It was by flute (heading to theCanadian Tire at Davenport&Yonge), I decided to walk down the small side pathway that connects to Davenport Road. As I walked through the pathway, the smell of authentic Indian cuisine pulled me in. The aromas led to the front door of this little hidden restaurant gem in Yorkville. I walked and place my first order... Mmmmmmm!! Ooooh, let me tell you, Mmmmm! Yum!!!! From the Curries, Mmmmm! And the Tandoori chicken- Very juicy/ NOT DRY! The Paneers dishes, Mmmmm!!! My new favourite Navrattan Curry, Mmmmm!! The Dal Maharani, Mmmmm! My Favourite!!! And the Kheer!!! Oh my Gosh!!! Mmmmmmm!!!!
