The food is so good! Some of it was a little too spicy for my taste, but not too spicy that my mouth was on fire the entire night. In actual fact, the only spicy stuff came from the appetizers of my friends. None of the food I ordered was spicy though, or very mildly spicy, which is the way food is supposed to be. If there's heat, there should be flavour as well.
What did I eat? I had their Eat Like a Superstar combo, and there's three different price points, so I had the middle one, which consisted of naan (I think it was garlic naan), rice, some sort of barbecued chicken, vegetable pakora (like a mashed up fritter of some sort), Indian salad, a chick pea curry dish, some raita (for my naan, I'm guessing, and maybe for the chicken and pakora too), and of course, I had to have my favourite Indian dish, butter chicken. The combo also included one of those delicious honey balls that they call Gulab Jamun. I definitely could've had more gulab jamun. It was a lot of delicious food that I couldn't finish, so I had to give up on the chick pea curry thing. Don't get me wrong, it was very good, but something had to give. I finished everything else. I was the only one in my group who did the combo thing, so I'm sure I had the best deal.
With the food being this great, where is everybody? I was there with a small group, so overall, there were just six of us, and another six people (three groups of two) came for takeout and that was all for the entire 2+ hours that we were there. I don't get it. Sure, it's the Christmas season, and yes, people are trying to finish up their shopping, but there's also Christmas parties happening at various restauants, but I guess they're not happening at this restaurant? I don't know. Maybe it's slow for other restaurants too, but it was like we had our own private dining room, and I didn't mind that at all. The thing is, I don't want places like this to close down if no one is going to them. Is the food here not as good when it's busy? Is that it? Is it the location? I dunno. It's in a sort of Italian neighbourhood, so maybe Indian food is not for them. But if the food is that good that much food and for the amount that I paid, then I'd...
   Read moreThe 2 stars are for the main course and one person's service which was the only good thing about this place and my experience. When we entered ,we saw a party of 20+ young men dining and the songs were playing at mild volume. I did not expect these boys to start blasting music and the weird thing is the restaurant staff gave them the phone to play loud music on tv and speakers choosing their own songs. The songs were too loud and did not suit the mood of the restaurant(which was fine if played at respectable volume) We requested the volume to be low or mild so the food can be enjoyed.One staff member gave us the phone to choose the music. One of the guys from that party came and took the phone and then they started blasting even more which was unacceptable and disrespectful to others. I did not enjoy eating at all .The staff member said sorry for this and said they are all drunk and immature guys so they do not want to create trouble to keep the peace but in my opinion the staff or manager should have some rules in place for the volume so brash and uncultured people like these do not ruin other customers time. This is the first place i have seen where this happened and the staff just bend their knees to these drunk,uncouth and boorish crowd and let them do whatever they wanted. I expected more from this place. I will not be going back. Shoutout to the nice staff member with hat...

This is one of THE BEST place that you should never miss. If you don't like Butterchicken, visit this place and guess what, you will change your opinion after having Butterchicken here.
Butterchicken here is well marinated, aromatic, golden and juicy chicken in an incredible rich buttery silk textured curry sauce.
It is curated by the restaurant Owner- Dan(the man with the Hat) himself and his wife. Just finger licking yum đ Hands down delicious must tryđ
Spiciness can be modified in each dishes you choose. You can ask suggestions about the dishes and they are happy to help and modify according to your preference.
This restaurant adopts Afghani and Indian style recipes. Lamb curry was good. The curries tasted really well with rice. Gulab jamun was hot and with right amount of sweetness and consistency.
Ambience was good with Indian music. There is also a bulk party seating available. When I went, there was a group of 15 people to dine in. I could see many people come in to take out as well.
We pre-ordered while booking the table and when we went, the food was ready in a short time.
They have a bar indoor and a foosball table. Patio is available as well. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible.
Simply to taste their Buttechicken would visit...
