Gagan Palace Indian - Stratford

Maybe they were having a bad day because I come here often, but my food was very unpleasant and smelled unpleasant too, i tried to speak nicely and say can I have something else I didn’t even touch it, and they brought me the same thing back. This time with sliced chicken? I explained I didn’t want that, they said It’s smaller chicken so it’s okay. I think that was condescending as if, I wasnt used to Indian food or maybe I just needed “easier” to eat food. I don’t know why they thought i had an issue with the meat, that meat, any meat, i dont have an issue. The food tasted spoiled, sliced chicken or cubed. The sauce tasted bad. Or maybe reused from days ago. Just unpleasant experience. They refused to give me anything else in replace and made me pay, I didn’t eat a bite. I was nice the entire time, and im disappointed they would serve bad food, I come here often they must not remember.

Food is excellent. Would recommend sticking with the vegetarian options as we found many bones in our butter chicken. But it's easy to overlook given the quality of everything else. The lady at the counter was extremely nice. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30

I ordered the vegetable pakoda, but it arrived cold and tasted old. When we asked for fresh, hot ones, they simply microwaved them. The pani puri we ordered was supposed to be spicy, but it was sweet. It felt like they had forgotten the essence of an Indian restaurant. Our main course was equally disappointing. We asked for Indian spicy, but they went overboard with the heat, making it inedible. To top it off, I found flies in the restaurant, which I even managed to photograph. The staff was okay, but the management needs improvement. More employees and cleanliness are a must. Despite their offer to make things milder, after the overly spicy curry, I couldn't trust them anymore. Pani puri should never be sweet in an Indian restaurant; it should be spicy or mildly so.

I ate here several years ago with a friend and really enjoyed it, and returned for a second visit about two weeks ago. Friendly service and clean inside. The buffett was excellent, the food was very tasty, and the dessert was good as well. I would highly recommend this if you want to get Different options or if you are trying Indian food for the first time. Would return for sure!

I've been here for several years and have several good meals. They cater to your pallet with your preferred heat and spice level. We have gotten off-menu items with no problem. Highly recommend, and they are BYOB. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30
