    Very good food. All the traditional favorites.
    Came away completely stuffed.

    First, keep in mind that I am not Indian, and I never eat Indian food.  First time really that I tried it.

    But this place is great!  The servie is efficient, they are quick to refill your water and bring over bread.  

    I've been here for the buffet, and for dinner.  Both times good.  I especially like the buffett since it offers different food than I am used to, different than other buffetts like Mandarin, King's buffet, Imperial, etc.  

    I would say the food quality is good, but they offer only a limited variety of food.  Mandarin offers 3 times as much food imo.  And The Host does not have much of a dessert option.  

    This place is worth a try.  Message me if you want more info on their type of food.

    Tried to stay away from this place as its too close to Square One and therefore a mall-restaurant.

    I eventually went and was pleased.  Steered away from the buttered chicken and tried stuff I'd nearly never had...except the Kofta as I have to have it...and enjoyed it all.  Loved the Murgh Lababdar too.  So juicy.

    Will be back.

    The good:

    1) tons of selection at the buffet
    2) there is naan at the actual buffet so you don't have to wait for your waiter to bring some to your table
    3) the place is decorated quite nicely; nothing too fancy but nothing too ugly either
    4) central location; very close to square one and the central core of Mississauga
    5) the food was really yummy (esp. the butter chicken!)

    The bad:

    1) it's a little bit more pricier than others because it is such a central location

    When it comes to Indian food - I find the majority of the indian restaurants to be in the okay - to average range,

    The Host - is perhaps average when it comes to their dishes, taste and flavours.  They basically charge a little bit more money for average indian food.  So what are you paying for?  Well the restaurant is nicely decorated, nice plates and all that jazz and I think if you are NOT indian you love the food because you don't know any better lol.

    Overall ive had better indian food at other restaurants but for the setting and the service you can't go wrong if you want to eat indian.  I have been to this location 4 times, once for a lunch buffet, and 2 for parties and once for dinner.

    If location would be the only criteria to rank a restaurant, The Host would be A+, given its proximity to square one and accessibility from downtown and public transit.
