Paan City — Restaurant in Toronto

I recently had the misfortune of trying a falooda at Paan City, that left me thoroughly disappointed.

Falooda, for me, is supposed to be a symphony of flavors and textures—a perfect balance of sweetness, creaminess, and that refreshing hint of rose or kulfi. But this one? It was like someone had dumped a bag of sugar into a cup and called it a day.

The sweetness was overwhelming, to the point where it masked any other flavors that might have been there. The subtlety that makes falooda so special was completely lost. The vermicelli was overcooked and mushy, and the basil seeds, which should add a delightful crunch, felt like an afterthought. Even the ice cream on top, which is usually the crowning glory, tasted artificial and overly sweet.

What made it worse was the lack of care in presentation. Falooda is as much about the visual appeal as it is about taste, and this one looked like it had been hastily thrown together. It lacked the vibrant layers that make you want to dive in with a spoon.

In a city as diverse and food-rich as the GTA, where you can find some truly amazing South Asian desserts, this was a letdown. It felt like a missed opportunity to showcase the magic of falooda. If you're going to serve a dessert with such a rich cultural heritage, it deserves more...

Paan City is a delightful destination for authentic Indian cuisine. The menu features a variety of traditional dishes, including perfectly cooked sandwiches, chaat, and samosa chaat. Dessert options like falooda and kulfi are also highly recommended. The masala chai is a must-try beverage. The professional staff and inviting atmosphere enhance the dining experience. Prices are reasonable, making it a great choice for those seeking quality Indian food in Toronto. ​​​​

A special shout-out to Aysha, Rahmat server, who made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, and ensured everything was perfect. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she added a personal touch to...

I stopped going to Royal Paan long time ago because of it's Poor and rude Customer service. In August 2020, I visited the Plaza again and saw the sign changed to Paan City, I thought maybe managemet would be new so why not give it a try again but I was wrong, same faces with new name very rude and worst people to deal with they don't know how to talk very poor customer service and Food is awful 😢 just a Money Greed. I urge people Do Not go to this place and find a good replacement for Paan and other similar desi Food. Please Don't spend your hard earned money to this Place called Paan...
