Review from Ayesha A.

The lunch buffet is decently priced, there's a good selection although it's kind of "white people" indian food.
Aside from being slightly racist and judgmental perhaps, this description perfectly explains the food found there.
It's a bit flavourless to cater to more people, understandably, but less spice does not have to mean no flavour.
That being said I like it because it's not as chaotic and packed as some of the other restaurants, it's relatively well priced and when you are not sure what you want, you just know you want some indian food, it's great because you get it all.
Bonus: there's also ice cream for desert!Listed in: Indian Food

I went here for dinner one night based on the good reviews. The place itself is nice, there was a decent selection of items on the dinner buffet, but not as extensive as other Indian buffets I've been to.
The meat dishes were yucky. I felt like I was fishing for chicken in the butter chicken dish. Then when I caught some chicken, I wish I didn't.... it was gross.
The vegetarian dishes were not bad, that's what saved this meal -- along with the gulab jamun. I wanted to get my $$ worth, so I filled up on the dessert and vegetarian items.
I would not return here again, I've experienced way better indian buffets in Toronto and the GTA. -

Okay, the carpet is so dirty it looks like it will roll itself up and die. But the kitchen appears clean and for $12.99 at dinner they have an excellent buffet. Not the largest Indian buffet I've ever seen, but for $12.99 what would you expect. The dishes seem to have some regulars, especially the meat dishes, which include very tender tandoori chicken, good curried goat and chicken tikka masala, plus butter chicken and other delights. The veggie dishes always seem to include daal, aloo gobhi and chana masala, all excellent. Eggplant and okra are both great when they offer them. Desserts are limited to kheer, gulab jamun and western ice cream (not kulfi). Full bar. Pleasant and considerate service.
Not for impressing a guest with decor and atmosphere but good for a quick Indian buffet fix, especially when you want a buffet open at dinner time. -

Needing a quick fix of yummy Indian fare, we decided to try a place new to us. Regency looked okay, buffet looked decent, why not? Well if you're after real Indian food with true flavours, not ersatz, this is not your best choice. The food was only so-so, not spicy or spicy hot. Their Vindaloo (the best test for heat) was not hot and although chicken tikka and Butter chicken were tender, they did not have what it takes for a genuine taste of India. Disappointing.
