All you can eat lunch buffet for under $15!! Good food, good service, good prices! You may have to park across the street though as there is not much parking.

We had the lunch buffet on a sunday and it was great. For 13.99 plus taxes they have a good spread of food and everything was well cooked and not too spicy, more like home cooked Indian food. I strongly recommend this place

I had to work late on a Saturday, so my husband and I did a quick search of the area and found this little gem. When we got there it wasn't too busy, but quickly filled up as the night wore one. The food? What we tried was excellent. We ordered the lamb vindaloo and the butter chicken (our "go-to's" when trying a new Indian restaurant) and both were amazing. The naan is excellent - perfectly cooked and the texture light. Even the rice was lovely. We will definitely return. The portion size for the price is also very fair. Service was also wonderful and attentive! More...

This is my favourite Indian spot right now and i find it very hard to find really good Indian spots. Shared it with about 7 people and we all thought it was great! We got take out, we got the butter paneer, butter chicken, tiki masala, Chana masala, samosas, onion Bahji, and garlic naan.Butter chicken was amazing, buttery and flavourful. There just was only about 4-5 small pieces of chicken. No bone though Samosa were the big ones. Garlic naan was huge like a whole one to yourself is a lot.I would go back in a heartbeat, it's my new go-to spot. More...

I've eaten here at least 5 times now and this is hands down my favourite Indian restaurant in the city. Don't really understand all the negative reviews as I have only had positive experiences food and service wise and I've been there for lunch, dinner and ordered from uber eats. The naan is the best I've had even compared to in India and my boyfriend who is from there also agrees. It's slightly crispy on the outside but very light and fluffy on the inside. I would agree though that the quality suffers a little when eaten as takeout or delivery. So far I've had the butter chicken, chicken biryani, saag paneer, mixed appetizer platter (fish, chicken, onion, paneer pakora), lamb Rogan josh, and Goan fish curry and honestly all have been excellent. The Goan fish curry and butter chicken are my faves. The paneer also always tastes really fresh and the saag not swimming in oil like some other places. I definitely recommend this place!!! More...

Holy crap, this place is damn good. Living in Toronto, Chicago and Houston, I've had my fair share of Indian food, but this place is one of the best. The restaurant itself is very nicely laid out and super classy and upscale. The food though is sooo legit, like food coma good. We had the yellow daal, eggplant, saag, bindi and balls of potato and everything was so delicious. The rice is also really good..coming from someone who doesn't really like rice. If you're looking for some legit Indian food, I would highly recommend coming here..it's worth the drive to b-town! Will be back very soon. More...

I found this restaurant through Yelp and tried it out for dinner. The owners (I think) are from a Nepal as you see a few pictures and artifacts from the country. We ordered Daal Maakhni, Veggie Biryani, lamb and Nanna. The preparations were good although I have tasted better biryanis elsewhere. The lamb was pretty good but made spicy inspite of asking it to be mad mild. Naan was bit oily. The host were nice. Washrooms were clean. Overall, a decent place More...

I have to say I've had some trouble finding a place that has Indian food to my taste in Toronto but lo and behold this place is almost on my doorstep and it is good. Very good. I went with a party of seven so got to try a number of different dishes and none disappointed. My own meal of Lamb Vindaloo was excellently spiced with just the right amount of lingering heat without being crazy.The servers were all friendly and person looking after our orders was super friendly and helpful despite some members of our group being picky eaters with a hundred questions about the dishes (honestly sometimes I want to slap them).It would easily and deservedly have earned 5 stars for that experience but I feel compelled to drop a star because the lunchtime buffet experience (which I tried first) was not of the same quality. Don't get me wrong, the food was good enough that I organized the dinner, the staff were friendly but the buffet plates were just too damn small and I wasn't invited to make more than one trip... so for the money I didn't think the lunchtime buffet was worth it - I'll certainly go again but it will be a la carte all the way.

My husband and I came here after reading the Yelp reviews. We came for dinner and was not not disappointed. The staff are very nice and courteous. Very good customer service. For example,  they noticed that we liked the green chutney sauce and gave us more without asking; the server noticed the spice was making me sweat (in a good way) and gave me a glass of ice. Little things like that go a long way. We ordered the fish amritsari for an appetizer and it was amazing. The fish was substantial and the seasoning divine. For the main course, we got their butter chicken, chicken Tikka, saffron basmati rice, and cheese Naan. All excellent! The chicken Tikka was the best we've had. The butter chicken was delicious. The cheese Naan to die for, especially when we dipped it in the green chutney. The rice was so tasty and fluffy. For dessert, we got their rasmalai, which is like a cheesecake without the crust. I've never tried it before, but it was very good as well. Overall, I would recommend coming here. We are definitely going to try their lunch buffet soon. Finally found a great Indian restaurant in the area that has great food and great customer service, all at a reasonable price! More...

We found this lovely restaurant through a quick yelp search.  Absolutely delightful.   Our two kids (who are not spice lovers) both are sure it's the best Indian restaurant they've ever been to.   We found the depth and richness of the flavours surpassed most Indian food we've eaten out in Canada.   We enjoyed the lababdar chicken and jalfrezi as well as the daal makhani.    Perfectly spiced, rich, vegetables cooked just to perfection:   The garlic naan was so flakey and light.  The service was phenomenal, friendly, good recommendations, liberal water top ups.Love this place and we'll be back!

I have had Indian food about 20 times in my life and this was by far the best.I read the reviews on yelp before going there and got a good sense of the detail and effort that goes into making every dish there. I didn't know the significance of things like: "all the butter chicken is created using tandoori chicken" but the staff members sure explained it to us.Each week they use close to 1000 pounds of tomatoes to prepare the various sauces that go into these delicious meals.Everything about the restaurant was amazing.M More...

I'd been eyeing this place since before they opened, and I finally got to try it out! My mother and aunt had been here for their lunch buffet when the price was still $9. 99 on weekdays, and my mother said it was good, so I knew it was on my to-try list.We got there at about 12pm, and there were no other customers in the restaurant. That sent up warning signals everywhere. However, service was attentive and friendly, so we stayed and we went to get food from the buffet. I'm glad we did. The food is fresh and hot and delicious. Highlights:Saag paneer - spinach and cheese curry. I'm a sucker for a good saag paneer. This one was mildly spicy, and may have been my favorite dish at Mayur.Butter chicken - I appreciate it when a buffet still takes the time to use tandoori chicken in their butter chicken. I could definitely taste the BBQ flavor of the chicken. Something seemed a tad off about the butter chicken sauce though. It was a tad too...bright? It lacked a flavor depth I was looking for. This is my opinion though. My friend loved it.Goat curry - so flavorful. So tender. So good. Not too spicy.Yogurt - Cuz yogurt takes the edge off of spicy food. One of my friends was worried about the spice, and one of the waitresses was nice enough to recommend that she have the yogurt with her food, and then even walked her to where the yogurt was so she could get some. It worked!Naan - Served in a basket. Hot from the kitchen. Bottom is thin and crispy. Top has lovely air pockets and is soft and fluffy. I used more naan to scoop up all the sauce on my plate than I probably should have eaten in one serving.There are a bunch of chutneys and sauces I didn't try, but they all looked good too.Very good for the price. Can't wait to come again! More...

Ever since this place opened up, I have been eyeing it every time I've driven by. I finally decided to give the place a try! The outside is in a little bit of a rundown plaza but in the inside it's pretty typical restaurant style. The inside isn't anything to write home about.We ordered straight off the menu but they do offer a lunch buffet! I ended up starting off with the chicken 65. It was different in an undecided if I like it way. The previous chicken 65's in other restaurants I've eaten have always been fried in a way. The chicken here was sauced up. Granted the sauce was alright but it's the one thing I wouldn't order again.Onto the main courses! My husband ordered the butter chicken and naan while I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo with saffron rice. All these dishes were scrumptious! The serving sizes here are pretty reasonable.  I ended up with leftovers for the next day and you know what? It was still delicious!Final verdict? I would come here again maybe even take part in the discount on take out services their take out menu says. I mean 10% is 10% right? More...
