Banjara Indian Cuisine

Dear Sajjad and Indian Food Fans,<br/ <br/ Thank you for taking the time to list a bunch of your favourite Indian restaurants within the GTA. After the appointment, Danny and I went out to Banjara Indian Cuisine (east of Yonge and Eglinton) as you had recommended. <br/ <br/ We were tired, cranky and hungry. I almost went inside of another local Indian restaurant. We walked past McDonald's and the Goodlife gym and then some more (10-15 minute walk). <br/ <br/ It's a semi-basement level restaurant. Right when you open the entrance door, there will be steps. This probably won't be suitable for people with mobility aids and can probably arrange take-outs.<br/ <br/ Like other Indian restaurants,...

It's a 10-15 minute walk east from Yonge and Eglinton. This is a semi-basement restaurant. You will need to climb down a flight of stairs.So if you have mobility issues, you may have to arrange take out. Danny and I arrived two hours before closing. Service could have been better. They were rushing to pack up to leave. At times, it was hard to get the server's attention. Danny and I enjoyed the tamarind sauce, samosa, chicken pakoras and chicken dinner combo (he selected vindaloo chicken as his meat of choice). I did not enjoy my butter chicken because it did not taste fresh and there were barely any herbs. I loved their garlic naan because they made theirs different.

I ordered butter chicken from the Banjara Bloor Street location about a month ago based on their overall rating and reviews for butter chicken. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst butter chicken dishes I have ever had. I am leaving this review for this branch of Banjara as well, as the dish is likely to taste the same at all locations. There was no flavor, and the chicken pieces appeared to not have been cooked in the tandoor. I have strong suspicions that the reviews claiming the butter chicken is amazing are fake, likely paid reviews or reviews from friends and family. I regret not heeding other reviews which also mentioned that this place is terrible.

A blessing!! That's what this place is! Our go-to place whenever we develope cravings for Indian food, which is almost every other weekend. I'm a sucker for their Madras chicken and rice pudding . I love their biriyani too (an instant hit with our Indian friends). There lunch combo is such worth for your money, I tell you! Their ambience is pretty decent too. Banjara is easily the best Indian food option available around Yonge and Eg. Reserva una mesa ahora

This restaurant is a reliable and consistent neighborhood spot that you can always count on. The food is consistently good, the servers are friendly and efficient, and the prices are just right. The old-style minimal decor may not be for everyone, but overall it's a decent place worth trying. Ratings: Taste 4/5, Quality 3.5/5, Service 4/5, Ambience 3/5, Pricing 4.5/5.

We just had a lamb biryani. Which was pretty good spices, portions of lamb and raita. However, hats off to the excellent service and smiling faces throughout even though our order was tiny. I'd say keep up the good work. Don't get to see a lot of service around here in Canada.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. The ambience is fantastic with a great vibe, and I love the Indian music they play here. The service is very polite and the prices are reasonable. However, I wish they had more variety of Indian dishes on the menu.

My experience was really good at Banjara the food was really authentic south indian food which was great, it so far is the vest indian I have had in Toronto. Unfortunately they only had 1 waiter serving during lunch so the service wasnt great Reserva una mesa ahora

Great Indian food, we always do take-out as the dining room looks like a converted bingo. But their curries are solid and very flavorful with generous portions.

I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant! The Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious. The service was a bit slow at times, but the servers were very friendly.
