Buffet lunch, $10!!! How can you go wrong?
Nann bread made to order, buffet food piping hot. The food isn't as rich as banjera, but still yummy.
They should add some more desert options to the buffet, as the rice pudding isn't the best I've ever had and the fruit was really unripe and blah... -

The food was really good, we had the butter chicken and the kadai gosht. The butter chicken was made to perfection and the kadai gosht was very soft and tender. Would love to go back here.
Like other Indian restaurants the portions are pretty big and prices are good. Of course we had left overs and had it in the morning.
The ambiance was clean and nice and the waiter was very friendly. He recommended coming for the buffet lunch. Only $10 I think. -

I was reluctant to try this place because I wasn't sure if the place had new owners or whether Nataraj had just renovated and changed its name. Nataraj was okay, but I would go out of my way to Banjara instead even though Nataraj is only a 3 minute walk from my house.
I was very pleasantly surprised with how great the food is at The Indian Kitchen. I ordered my standard butter chicken, saag paneer, and plain naan and rice. It hit the spot - very good sized portions and tasted as good as it gets! I can't speak for the service because I got take out, but they seemed nice enough. And I agree that most Indian buffets are mediocre (trying to please the common denominator), so I wouldn't judge this place by the buffet. -

I need to admit something.... Something that I have been ashamed of for quite some time... Wait for it... I've only ever eaten Indian food once before in my entire existence on this earth. There, I said it. It's off my chest.. That being said, for my second time, I ventured to The Indian Kitchen on Bloor street on Saturday night with a group of friends. This just confirmed the fact that I am so ridiculous for not having more of it sooner. The dishes (not that I can remember their names.. Although the Butter chicken I do remember and it was AMAZING) were delicious. So flavourful and hearty. The Service, unlike a previous review, was quite genuine. The servers were friendly, helpful and really made the effort to make sure we would return.
The best part.... The bill was remarkably low... And I was stuffed!
If you're like me where it's hard to get out of your shell and try something new, like Indian, I would suggest starting at this joint. -

- was in the annex, and had the sudden hankering for some indian food.
- their buffet lunch for the two of us was about $25
- all your standards dishes are there (i.e. butter chicken, mattar paneer, etc)
- pretty bland stuff. really safe on the spice, which i assume they did to cater to the neighborhood.
- in addition to the suspect stomach ache i had afterwards tells me i will not be back.
- oh the waiter, was really annoying. he was trying to be nice, but couldnt catch our subtle turned overt hints that we weren't interested in chatting with him.
- sorry indian kitchen -

Indian Kitchen provided me with a satisfying meal that scratched my brown itch quite nicely. Service was kinda rude at the start but they eventually warmed up and were pretty friendly by the end of our meal.
The chicken tikka, saag and butter chicken were rich with flavour and delicious. The chicken itself wasn't as tender as I would have liked, but very rarely am I happy with the chicken I find in curries at restaurants.
The garlic naan was piping hot, baked to perfection and oh so damn good at moping up loose bits of rice and murky pools of sauce. I'm happy with my experience here, would have no problems coming back. Wish they delivered. -

My visit to this place was a mixed experience for me. The place is pretty nice inside and the service was quite friendly. But the food was a little lacking. Our pakora was fine but we had to keep asking for more and more chutney since they gave us so little first time around. The tandoori chicken was very juicy and moist (I'll give them that) but rather on the bland side. The prawn masala was serviceable but I would've paid less than half of what they charged. The vegetable jalfrezi was rather strange in that it had cubes of paneer and bits of corn in it (I've never seen either one before in a jalfrezi - I guess everyone has their own recipe but I didn't care for these additions). And for what's supposed to be jalfrezi (which is usually hot and spicy), it wasn't hot and spicy at all. Considering that there are better options throughout the city for Indian food, I don't think I'll be returning here.

I've been to the buffet twice now at the new location. I was very impressed. Better than the Yonge St. location.

This is an absolutely amazing restaurant. Every time I have been here it has been great! Best Indian food in Toronto by far. I ordered the lamb and it was perfect, I never even liked lamb before this! They suggested it and it was great! The service was also very very good. Everything I have ever ordered here was spectacular, they have a great chef!
