Chef of India

We have been visiting this restaurant for the past 6 years whenever we come to Niagara Falls, but this time the experience was completely disappointing and not worth it. We were seated early, but the waitress seemed totally disengaged. She didn’t bring us menus, plates, or even water. We had to ask her four times before getting basic service. Food ordered: • Masala Papad: It was just a few onions and tomatoes with green chutney (see picture). Absolutely horrible and not what masala papad should be. • Paneer Tikka: Not cooked properly. • Dal: This was the only dish that tasted good. • Paneer Jalfrezi: Tasted like raw tomato puree, as if it was rushed and not cooked at all. Overall, the quality and service have gone downhill significantly. It was a waste of money, especially disappointing for a place we’ve trusted for years.

We ordered Dal Makhani (5/5), Reshmi Kabaab (2/5 as it was not soft enough), Murg Malai Tikka (3/5), Chicken Tikka Masala (3/5), Ras Malai (4/5), Plain Naan (they were soft and yummy). Service was prompt and courteous.

Great place for some good South Indian food. The chef once served President Bill Clinton and the Lady Hillary Clinton. So neat. Lamb Homestyle Curry was amazing. Flavours were well blended and the lamb melts in your mouth. The Chicken Biryani is very flavourful. Rice is fluffy and the chicken is very tender. Very friendly staff and good service. Fast kitchen with meals coming out nice and hot. Naan bread is done very well. No credit card surcharge. Clean facility. Prices were moderate for the portion. Curry was lacking for the portion. Clean washrooms though were super cold. You can see you breath.

Dilzit was amazing!!! Her service absolutely made the experience even more wonderful. We came back twice while we visited Niagara Falls. You will see many Indian restaurants. This was a recommendation from a local as his favorite and we’re so grateful for his great taste for authentic Indian food!!! A must try and indulge... while in Canada!!
