    Had a great time catching up with friends and enjoying their flavors. They have some great menu items and an exceptional service. Will definately go back to enjoy some of my new favorite dishes.

    Wonderful and warm restaurant. Reception very welcoming. Food is delicious. We had the chicken tikka grill, lamb Rogan Josh and vegetable byriani. All authentic and mouth watering. The cocktails are original and tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant. One of the best I have experienced in Toronto. Staff are lovely.

    Bad experience, kitchen closes at 9.30 still they book table until 9.30 and tell you to order everything at the same time and serve all together starters and main course as well, food gets cold..they closes at 10.30 and they will tell you that 5-10 min to finish your meal. Food doesn’t taste good as well. Still i an giving one star because the assistant manager was king enough to give us some time to finish our food.

    We booked our anniversary dinner via OpenTable and specifically requested a cake with a candle to surprise my wife. Unfortunately, when we arrived, no one was aware of our request, and I had to remind the staff. Later, a dessert with a candle was brought, but it wasn't the cake we expected. This oversight really dampened our special celebration. I hope the restaurant can improve its communication and service for special occasions.

    First time going here and it was good experience. I went on Valentine’s Day so they had a set menu. Not a fan of that as Indian food with set menu is not the best idea. But the menu was good and tasty. A little adventures restaurant so not your typical Indian cuisine, which was a good change from everyday Indian food in the city. One issue was the heating, they really need to get the HVAC system fixed or updated. It was extremely cold the night we went and they just had a space heater. Every time the door opened a cold breeze would come in and hit all the customers sitting near the entrance. There is no physical barrier such as a storm door to eliminate this issue. So definitely the food got cold and it was a very pleasant experience. But besides that the place and food was good. Not sure if it’s my top 10 but I would keep my eye on this place as they mentioned that their menu changes every 4/6 months (months maybe off). Overall, it was a good place and would say they have a good menu selection (even though we didn’t try it) and their drinks were a little let down, I had the beers and they were not fresh by any means, she had a mixed drink which not good at all. But made it up with the good food and the ambiance.

    Loved the dishes and great service. It is cold in the winter, but they had space heaters and it wasn’t too busy so they directed it at us.

    Everytime I visit the Cottage Cheese, I’m reminded of what a delight it is. If the cozy indoor aesthetic won’t win you over then the food and its richness in taste absolutely will. I visited the restaurant for the umpteenth time with a friend who had never been and she was so taken by the flavor profile of the rose butter paneer. I highly recommend this gem for unique and flavorful Indian food, especially for warm conversations with family and friends.
