Review from Heather B.

8/15/2010 1 Check-in Here
Had dinner here last night. Reservations at 7:30.
I think they must of had an off night because the service was really slow, unless that is how they roll.
It took some times for drinks to come and then for our server to come back and take our orders. The servers do know their stuff and know exactly what is good and what to pair it with. Spicyness is an issue at my table so she explained what would be good for each person.
Once the orders were taken the food took quite awhile to come to us.
I think we sat there for a good half hour waiting. Thank goodness we had good conversation.
Once the food came it did NOT disappoint!
Most of my table had the butter chicken - delish! A little spicy but not enough to burn your mouth off.
I could have used a little more chicken - most of my 5 pieces were drowned in sauce.. they should give you a little more when you're having dinner.
The restaurant itself was lovely... very nice layout and has a romantic feel to it if you were on a date.
Like previous yelpers have said, you can dress up or dress down.. it's fits both styles.
I would definetely come here again - I just hope next time it's a little more quiciker.
To give you an idea .. reservations were at 7:30 and I didn't get out until 10 and that was just main course - no dessert of appetizers.
Positive thing out of it is that you aren't rushed right?? -

We went there for Valentine's Day and it SUCKED!
When we walked in for our 9 o'clock reservation we had to wait 15 minutes as apparently "Everyone came in late because of the weather", yes, light drizzle is indeed the kind of weather that makes people come in late. We and 5 more couples were standing in the small doorway waiting until we'll be seated.
Once we were seated we had to wait another 10 minutes for a server to come to our table and ask us for drinks and water. So, in total 25 minutes of waiting, with additional 5 mins until we actually got water. At that point I was boiling with rage and wanted to leave but my bf insisted on staying.
Then the waiter came by for our food orders, while taking our food order he got distracted and started talking to the people seated at the table beside us. It looked like he was flirting with the guy at the other table. Now, my boyfriend was pissed off too 'cause he was starving. Wouldn't you be after 30 minutes of waiting just to get your water?
While we were eating our food, twice they brought food which we didn't order. Once it was double order of drinks, second time it was the dessert.
So, the overall impression? Highly disappointing. $70/person + drinks + taxes is not worth it!
Would I ever go to this place agagin or recommend it to friends? Nope. -

Not bad. These guys have a fantastic atmosphere. Definately worth taking a date. Food.... So-so. Not bad tho. The manager seems to take keen interest in the place, quietly greets you, and is constantly near the kitchen. They take great care, so they get a pass. Listen, great atmosphere, take a date to impress.... Just not the greatest Indian food in Toronto. You should go tho. Worth a one time try and make up your mind for yourself :-)

Tried lunch here a couple of weeks ago. Have not had Indian often but the lunch special was good value. Lots of food and it was yummy. It was very quiet so a good place to go if you want to have a good chat.
Not sure if I'd go back for dinner - depends on price. -

Beautifully decorated restaurant, outside seating available. I've been here to lunch twice and they give you a plated dish with an appetizer, a salad, the main dish of your choice and naan bread. Very delicious, enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Affordably priced as well.

$25 for Summerlicious experience at Kamasutra is really a great deal and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and the food.
Great selections of Main! Yes there are 7 to choose from and your vegetarian friends would be happy with the selections!
Appetizer:
Pomegranate Chaat
- love the complex taste and texture, I was half full after eating that!
Kerala Crispy Shrimps
- tasted pretty bland and the description is a lot more taster!
Main: (love the naan bread on the side!!)
Chicken Hot Pot Sizzler
- Chicken breast was surprising tender, the sauce has great flavours and love how it comes out sizzling hot!!
Lamb Shank Curry
- Curry sauce was really mild but the lamb was really tender
Dessert:
Ras Malai
- My dinner mate making faces when I asked him to try that... texture is strange.. I did enjoy the sweet milk syrup.. but I will pass!
Coconut Caramel Pie
- great if you have a sweet tooth... but sickening sweet!!
Services was top notch! Great deco and with the dim lighting make Kamastura a great date place!! I might have to invite my Hot Yoga Date next time, she would love it here!! -

Food and service were both descent but certainly didn't blow me away. I wouldn't go out of my way to dine there but if I were in the area I would go again.

I'm a big fan of Kamasutra. We've been here on a couple of occasions and have always had a fantastic experience. The food is delicious, and its reasonably priced.
My bf is gluten/wheat intolerant so we are always looking fo places where there are gluten free options. On our first visit we asked the server what were our choices for a gluten free meal. He was very knowledgeable. He told us exactly what every item was made with and what was gluten free. I was impressed. Most of the time when I ask a server about their gluten free options they look at me all wide eyed and confused, clearly not knowing what I mean.
So we got an apetizer and I got butter chicken (my fave) and he got Chicken Byriani. The butter chicken was not the best I've had, but it was still delicious. The Byriani was superb. I also really love the warm naan with garlic and butter that they bring out while you wait for your food.
On our second visit we got the dinner for 2 which includes two meat or seafood dishes, one veg, the chef's appetizer platter, rice and naan. We got the same server as the last time we were there, which was great :) This time we decided to try something new, so we had the chicken vindaloo, curry chana, and fish with some type of curry based sauce that I can't recall right now but was delicious.
All in all, the food was once again great, the service was fantastic (fast, attentive) and our server was super friendly and made little jokes with us and some small talk. Also, if you ask him what he recomends he will be more than willing to tell you and guide you.
I love this place and I see it becoming my tried and true spot for when I want a nice and delicious Indian meal. -

Had a very good gourmet indian feast. The decor is more like an upscale pub with a huge bar and loft high ceilings. the service was very prompt which is highly unusual for Indian restaurants where I expect slow. The food was very good- from the Tika Masala to the Tandorri- I also really enjoyed a grilled lamb and Veal Sag- the chefs appetizer plate was just fair and one mystery patty I would not recommend atall- I could not figure out what it was- one of the nice things about this restaurant is that the ingredients were all fresh and I could taste it. Portions were not small. Rice Pudding was also excellent. Enjoy.

We ate here due to a Grupon coupon that we purchased, as it is a bit far from out West End home. But we will certainly come back.
The large room is comfortable and accommodating, with indented black upper walls to cleverly give the impression of empty space behind them and elegant chandeliers. The food is North Indian with a modern/fusion trend. Everything was first rate - our appetizers of topnotch samosa and fried coconut crusted calamari with a great chutney along with terrific chicken madras and spicy lamb - the latter was exceptionally tender.
Service was friendly and helpful as well.
Given its name there had to be something erotic in the place somewhere, so the poster of sexually suggestive temple carvings in the men's room filled the bill, I guess.
Look forward to additional visits.Listed in: Eating Places from Special…

Often at times, one true indicator of how good a place is, is how busy they are on a Saturday night. If there's no one there, then you have to wonder what is wrong. We snagged a rather last minute 7pm reservation this past Saturday night and given the volume of people there, I'd say that we were lucky to do so.
For an appetizer, we ordered the tandoori sampler. It cost $17.95, and came with a few pieces of tandoori chicken (a bit on the spicy side), a few pieces of lamb, salmon and some cheese (I can't quite recall what it was called on the menu). For the most part, it was pretty tasty. By the way, this is a serving that is meant to be for two people.
For a main, we ordered the butter chicken and some lamb curry. For sides, we ordered one order of basmati rice and some naan. The mains range in price from $13 to $17/dish. The sides range from $2.50 to $5/dish. With tip and tax our bill ended up coming to $65. Note that we did not order any drinks, which would obviously inflated the bill.
As far as ambiance and service were concerned, the wait staff were very attentive and quite accommodating. The kitchen must have been humming because we received our food in quite a short order of time. As far as noise level was concerned, I would not consider Kamasutra as a place to have a quiet, intimate meal. I found the noise level to be quite high and would likely not suggest this place to take those of my parent's generation. That is, unless not having much of a discussion at the table is not a concern. -

If your in laws are completely unadventurous but want to feel like they're having a cultural experience without really having a cultural experience, look no further. This is Indian food toned down, whitened up and made expensive. Goes well with the neighborhood.

Five stars for the food, and service! Kamasutra just doesn't offer a full 5 star experience, but I can't say there is anything specific that makes it drop a star. Kamasutra is a Bayview and Eg shining star. Although there are several reasons to head up there, the fact that more than a few blocks away you won't find any more independent restaurants is key.
In my attempt at low-carb, low fat (yeah right at an Indian resto), I got the tandoori salmon. My table mates got the tandoori chicken and a vegetable curry- spicy! The tandoori dinners are massive, fist-sized, lumps of protein coated in a light spiced yogurt marinade. The fish was unbelievably delicious and the chicken, I am told was equally good. The waiter was a joy and didn't interrupt our conversation and brought out a free garlic naan to share as we waited for our tandoori specialties.
Drinks were decent, and they have a full bar, including decent wine selection. The seats were super comfortable along the banquet with Indian silk-covered pillows. I loved this place and would happily return to see the waiters and eat the food next time I'm in the 'hood. -

True Indian cuisine, inventive and flavorful. The grilled calamari curry was to die for, and I swear those spices are aphrodisiacs. Perfect service, lovely menu. Skip Amaya down the street (attitude and pricy) and head for Kama Sutra.

Made a reservation at 7:30 for summerlicious and dipped into this spot last night by 7:15pm. The Hostess took us in politely.
The room was gorgeous, with dark reds and Indian pictures all over the walls. Not too big , just enough for it to be busy on a Tuesday evening. They also have a small patio outside, which gives it a casual feel.
Now I am much more of a lounge kind of girl, so right away I liked the feel of this place for dinner. Highly recommend for taking a date!
You can be a dressed down or up, with 2 or a group. They will accommodate accordingly. (we had a table of 9 beside us and right away I noticed the difference in service....(drink refills , bread coming out faster etc.). With us (2 people) ,food came out fast and we got privacy. They were always just close enough to notice we needed servicing. (although, this could be because we had a group close to us... )
Over all service from wait staff was really good.
Only con, bartender didn't know how to make drinks. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!. That's after me getting it changed twice!. I had to settle for sprite!...ughh...
so for appetizers we had the fried coconut shrimp - delicious!!..breading was golden and shrimp was perfectly juicy.
for entree - I had the butter chicken and my girlfriend had the Lamb curry - WOW. The latter was soo tender.
Both dishes came with rice AND naan (the traditional bread)
Desert - I had the Carrot Halwa - came with vanilla ice cream. Sweet and would be pretty good with tea.
My girlfriend had the fruit/mango custard. This wasn't so bad. Light and creamy with chunks of fruits and a blueberry on top. lol.
The Bill came up to $64.64 (excluding tip)
Besides drinks, I'd go back for dinner and try the regular menu. They had some interesting things I'd like to try out.
