The food was good. The atmosphere not so good. And the service, bad.
But the food was really good and I'd go back to eat it again. Prices are very reasonable. -

The food is pretty terrible, but it's fairly cheap. Naan was okay.
Wont rate the service since it was a buffet. -

I've been here a few times a long while ago, and recently decided to give it another shot. The location has been home to North Indian cuisine for about twenty years now, what used to be Sangam Restaurant, has been home to Chauhan for about 10 years.
He used to be a chef at a huge restaurant in New Delhi, then part of the Host's team in Toronto (when it was located at the south east corner of Bay and Bloor in the late 90s). Since the break, Chauhan's specialized in Indian cuisine with a distinctly Punjabi taste a la Peel Region(a little oily and a little more spicy). Though, not my favourite and that's probably what kept me away for a few years. I'm pleased to say that he once again returned to his foundation of typical New Delhi-esque Indian cuisine.
On my visit here during lunch, I found the service quite decent and the waiter was courteous and all smiles, so kudos on the quality despite the thin staff.
Though the food is fantastic, fresh and inspiring, I would return more frequently if a bit more attention was paid to the presentation of the dishes in the buffet. It would make the already delicious items look miles more tantalizing.

When I first entered the restaurant and looked at the menu, I thought "wow these are downtown Toronto prices in Markham".
I went here with family on a Sunday so the restaurant had very few people.
We started off with tandoori chops. The meat was succulent on the inside and well seasoned and marinated on the outside. Lamb is often overdone when grilled , but this was just right.
The assorted platter was really crisp and not too oil soaked.
We then got the karahi chicken. This was excellent as well. Often at some restaurants, being a semi dry dish , one can taste all the individual spicing that went in. Not so at this place, it was well seasoned and the chicken was well cooked without being overdone.
Our third dish was the navratan kurma. This was very rich and creamy with exotic spices. I am not usually the one in the group that goes "that vegetarian dish was amazing" but I did with this one.
What I also liked was that each of the sauces was unique and didnt seem like the chef makes 3 sauces which he uses in everything (some indian places will do that).
When I left I no longer though the prices were too high for Markham, everyone in our group was happy with the meal and the service.
This is definitely among the best exemplars of Indian cuisine I have tried. -

This place was just serving perfection in food!!! Please continue to do such an amazingly good job!Listed in: Desi Khaana (Indian Food)

Have been there a few times. Was introduced to the restaurant via the use of an Entertainment Book coupon, and liked. They do feature good appetizing, well prepared Indian Cuisine.
Their Vindaloo is truly superior, and their Mhurg terrific. It is an all around good place to enjoy your favorite Indian specialties.
The decor and ambiance are a bit 'dated' but the service is good. If you are a bit 'spice sensitive' please make sure that you request very mild items.
