Very tasty food! Came here to celebrate a new job offer. Never been a big fan of Indian food but this place definitely changed my perception of that. The curry and naan combo was amazing!
Cons: The waiter was a big overbearing and kept asking if we were ok every 5 minutes. We were the only customers that evening... -

I've never been a fan of indian buffets... I prefer to order a la carte. However, this is one of the better indian buffet spots in the city.
Some of my favourites include: aloo gobi, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, galab jamun and chana masala. -

I was with two friends for a nice Sunday lunch. The food was decent. Not the best Indian food I have had but good. We all found things we liked and the food was good. We would go back if we were in the area again.
What really got me was the price of the drinks, not alcoholic, but Coke and ginger ale. I had 2 glasses of Coke and one person had 2 glasses ginger ale. We each had two thinking that it was free refills. We were shocked to see we had drink nine dollars in coke and ginger ale which likely came from a fountain drink system. -

I went here for a farewell lunch with coworkers & we all had the buffet. I was glad to see that they had plenty of vegetarian options. Their eggplant dish was -definitely- the standout among them.
The rest wasn't as 'spiced' & flavorful as I prefer but perhaps with the buffet they are trying to reach the lowest common denominator as not to offend a single taste bud.
I wouldn't travel out of my way to eat here, but it was convenient for my work neighborhood. -

I go to Chef of India about once a month. Its pretty good. I like their lunch buffet. Lots of people that work in the area. The service is good, the servers are very friendly and polite. I enjoy the sag paneer, butter chicken, eggplant curry, and tandoori chicken. My favourite here is their eggplant curry its very nice, its tasty. They also serve food that is quite fresh compared to other buffets I have seen.

Jaaadu was transformed sometime this year into a second location of Chef of India. Jaaadu was well-loved and I think Chef of India will be a worthy replacement, I don't know what the background story is, but my impression was better than the reviews for the other Chef of India location.
Chef of India was up there with the best Indian food I've had in Toronto. Two words are all you need here, Malai Kofta. Their version of the amazing fried spiced paneer and raisin balls absolutely floored me. The kofta were absolutely perfect and served in a delicious korma sauce which left my belly in a state of complete and muttar bliss. I also got to try the Chicken Danshak, which I've never seen anywhere else and it was decent and wonderfully spicy, but not one I would order again, too many other classic dishes to try.
I always try the mango lassi when I'm checking out a new restaurant, and Chef of India made the best one I've had outside of House of Curries in Berkeley, CA, which is steep praise. Their naan was a little buttery, but fluffy and absolutely delicious.
It was a little pricey, but the food was definitely a cut above most establishments, and I like that they serve classic dishes in a classic style. They have a buffet, though I don't have the details. I'm definitely going to check it out soon though. -

We had the buffet lunch there today. I love Indian food ... this was so-so.
There were 16 choices, which included rice, buttered chicken, curried beef, naan, curried goat, veggies, etc. plus salad items and dessert.
The buttered chicken wasn't bad ... the naan was cold and kind of crunchy.
The service was great ... they were always refilling our glasses and taking our plates away.
I doubt I'd go back again. -

Chef of India seems to be the only surviving Indian restaurant in the neighbourhood considering there used to be 5+ less than a year ago. The food and overall selection is solid. They have lots of veggie options and are pretty consistent on a return visitor basis. I'm a big fan of their lunch buffet takeout. For approx $11 (tax in) you can walk out with a huge amount of fresh food.
Decor is nice and the staff is friendly. I have never seen this place full or particularly busy, but it would make a nice place for an evening out. -

The best butter chicken I've had in a very long time! The staff is great, too. My husband and I came in to order take-out recently and were offered a seat at the bar with some papadum to tide us over while we waited. We eat here as often as we can!

The service was impeccable - friendly and attentive. Best samosas I've ever had... served on a bed of chickpeas and smothered in some kind of deliciousness. We ordered butter chicken, mattar paneer, rice and naan. The food was pretty good... a little heavy, but satisfied our craving. We recommend.
