What a wonderful vegetarian buffet. I never thought veg will be so delicious. Went there on weekday night and the place was still quite busy.
Food was fresh, wait staff was quick in getting the empty plates cleaned up and refilling drinks.
Food was delicious, fresh and available all the time.
their naans both regular naans and garlic naans are to die for. it will not take me a long time to go back.
this is a well run operation. -

Brar sweets is one of the most popular buffet places among people of Indian origin, especially vegetarians. The place had humble beginnings with a small restaurant that served set lunches for $5 and their consistency and deliciousness has blown them up to become a large buffet. They serve all types of Indian food - the classical Northern fare (Punjabi) which most people associate with Indian food, as well as Dosa's (savory rice crepes) from the south, to scrumptious Indian street eats (samosas, pani puri, chaat, pav bhaji etc.). They also serve pizza (as it is a family restaurant and kids just love pizza) and "Indian style" chinese food (read deep fried and well spiced -- aka delicious).
They have a good desert selection (Indian classics, pastries, fruits and ice cream) as well and recently added a chocolate fountain! This magnificent buffet for under $20 / person before tax and tip. How can you go wrong????
If you are in a rush, they also do take-out. Their sweets are relatively expensive compared to Indian sweet store standards, but you pay for the quality -

This place has a lot of variety, clean and neat... however, only carries Vegetarian Punjabi food.
Price and quality of food is above average. -
Review from Avitania B.

Oh my freaking gawd. My husband and I stumbled across this place on our way back from an errand we ran nearby, and I'm so glad we did. This buffet is massive. It's like a typical Indian buffet took a bunch of steroids and landed in Brampton. Not only is the buffet sizable, the food is actually good! I came in here and DESTROYED this buffet like Godzilla DESTROYED Tokyo. Seriously. Everything was delicious: huge chunks of tasty paneer; perfectly squishy and savory malai kofta; and my favorite, the warm gulab jamun! And real scoopable ice cream (not that soft serve frozen yogurt stuff you find at buffets these days). The food was so good I forgot that there wasn't any meat. Plus free sodas! Yay!
We came in at around 2:15 and there wasn't any wait. Best of all, lunch for two that left us stuffed to the gills was only $24! Score!
I only wish this place were closer. Or, maybe I don't. I don't want to have to invest in a wheelbarrow in which I'd have to be brought home every time I had a meal here. Yum. Burp. Nap. Zzz.Listed in: Toronto Favorites, Naan-tastic Voyage

Call us insane, but my sister and I drove all the way from Scarborough, fighting traffic across the 401 for nearly 45 minutes just to come here on a Saturday afternoon. We probably spent more time on the road than sitting at Brar's.
The building itself is nothing to sneeze at, but step inside and you find yourself in a spacious, clean and air-conditioned restaurant. On one end is a take-out counter and small tables for a quick meal. In the other direction, the aromas from the brightly-lit hot buffet bars draw you in.
The cooks and waitstaff here keep the countertops immaculate and shiny, the food trays always full. The cold bars are well stocked with a plethora of desserts and appetizers, including pasta salads, potato salad, pickled mushrooms and vegetables and barley salad. Large slices of melon, honeydew and watermelon are available as well.
There are at least ten choices at the hot buffet, such as chana masala, saag paneer, aloo gobi and my ultimate favourite, malai kofta, which didn't disappoint me in the least. The restaurant also advertises freshly made paneer in all their dishes.
My overall impression here was fantastic, and the host even help me put together chaat when I stood staring dumbfounded at all the ingredients. This is where the local South Asian population goes - large families and all - so you know the food is well worth it! I'd definitely come here again, if I didn't live so far!
One word of caution, don't walk away from the table if you're not finished with your plate. My plate was loaded with rice and when I went to get more kofta, one of the servers snatched it away!Listed in: Herbivore Heaven

Wow! Just... wow!
We arrived at Brar today at 8pm to at least 70 people waiting for a table. Because there were only 2 of us we were sat almost immediately. I overheard the wait for a group of 10 being only 30 minutes (pretty impressive table turnover).
All the food here is vegetarian and everything I sampled was amazing. The flavours and spices were all vibrant, fresh, complex and alive.
My wife and I used to live near the little India at Gerrard and Coxwell, but none of the food we had in that 'hood compares to what we had at Brar tonight.
I can't do buffets justice, but for $15 I'd definitely return to Brar for just a plate of dinner. Worth the drive to Brampton absolutely! -

Went here for lunch while i was a the Mechanics. (Speaking of Mechanics.. Arun at A Auto trust 20 Strathearn Ave Brampton, ON L6T 4P7 - (905) 791-0777 greatest most honest guy in town.) Anyways i had the Thali meal take away $7.99, Rice, naan, choice of 4 veg, and a sweet. Best indian food i ever had, the paneer is made on site food is super fresh, the buffet looks amazing. You can see them cooking the naan, DEEEEEEEEEEEEELISH.

Probably the best Indian vegetarian buffet I've been to (in the GTA).
This location has a huge variety of sabzis, there's even someone who makes masala dosas upon request. Substantial selection of fruits and even ice cream and some pastries (but go with the Indian sweets instead, they're much better here). My favourite part is probably the appetizers. I could probably make a meal out of the samosas and assemble-your-own chaat bar they have going on.
Good stuff! -

So I went back to Brar Sweets ... seems like food quality and selection has taken bit of hit. There is some selection but there is a lot of fillers that don't taste really good - the manchurian was nasty.
Brar Sweets is an okay place to go for a general Indian buffet. The food is alright and the price for the buffet isn't too expensive. They have lots of selection and all the dishes are veg.
I think this is a great place to try a lot of different indian dishes without paying for each dish - thats why its a buffet.
The service is pretty good, they come around to clear plates fairly quickly. Downsides of course no butter chicken lol but overall place is okay for a little family gathering or sample various indiah dishs. -

The head chef has gone on vacation and it shows because the food wasn't the same quality. He should be back in September.

Consistently good food, good service.
Definitely go to this location over their Mississauga location. For some reason the food at their Mississauga location just doesn't cut it- it's like it's a different company.
