Banjara Indian Cuisine - Bloor St

Best Indian food I have ever had. Whoever is cooking in the kitchen here knows how to use magic!!! Was really happy with the quick and polite service, and the atmosphere was relaxing and content. I dont always give 100% positive reviews but I think they deserve it!

Banjara on Bloor is what you might expect if you go to a restaurant in Pakistan or India it doesn't have that home cooked feel to it. As far as I'm concerned that's great! If I wanted a home cooked Desi meal, I'd stay home. They have a great selection of things that I wouldn't make at home things like goat, lamb, seafood and tandoori; and all of it is really good. I don't think I've ever been disappointed by a dish here. Again, if you're expecting a home cooked meal, this isn't it they often put an interesting twist on classics that's really good fun to try. The service is good, the servers are attentive without hovering. For atmosphere, I don't think you're getting a spectacular dining experience, or even an upscale one, but I really enjoy the outdoor space.

Very nice cozy Indian spot. Prices are fair for the portion size and quality. They have higher end basmati rice which is great as most places dont have descent rice. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and went out of their way to set us up with a table. The food was good. I really enjoyed the tandoori chicken it was really exceptional. The curries where great I really like the shahi and the Andhra curries. I thought the butter chicken and the Tikka masala could have been better as they are the most popular choices but still they were acceptable. Only complaint is that the food came out bit by bit which was annoying especially when you're a group. I would definitely go back here for the chicken tandoori!

Food was tasty and service was prompt. I wanted rice on the side so by server recommended choosing the dinner special which included the curry I wanted with Naan and rice. This was a better value so I appreciated her suggestion. Will be returning.

Hands down this is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in GTA, and the best in Toronto. Must try The Ambience, the staff and their straight forward service. I have been working in the neighbourhood for around 2 years and I recently got to know the chef and trust me the person responsible for making such delicious food is a beautiful person at heart as well. I thank the staff and team for such a great experience.
