| - Absolutely the worst butter chicken and naan I have ever eaten, solidifying their nickname of 'hore-house'. I wish I could give them negative stars. (Can you believe they're about to be featured on 'you gotta eat here'??)
We ordered butter chicken and 2 pieces of naan for take out. $18 is pricey, considering you can get much more for less at literally ANYWHERE ELSE on Gerrard, not even accounting for taste. I had heard bad things and previously avoided this place, but I gave them a chance because the restaurant I was heading to had gone out of business.
It was near close although the place was still packed and they sat a table of 12 or so after we ordered, so my bad experience shouldn't be an end of the night problem. This place is a miss-match of colour and ugly upside down carpets (not that I normally notice floor décor, this was just a particular eye-sore), with staff running in every direction while annoying too-loud Bollywood music plays. One thing I noticed is that everything is served on Styrofoam plates, why on earth is this a thing? They are clearly doing well enough to pay for some plates and to hire a dishwasher. Can you imagine just how much waste that is? It took 25 minutes to receive our food, so I hoped the waiting time would mean it was fresh.
Here's what you're waiting for, the make or (in this case) break: THE FOOD. I can forgive pretty much anything if the food is amazing. However. The Naan was rubber. Like actual, hard to rip, microwaved, what you expect from discounted grocery store naan. Actually, that's an insult to packaged naan. It's an insult to the word 'naan'. These rubber discs wouldn't even soak up the butter chicken sauce after sitting in it for minutes. MINUTES. And the butter chicken sauce? More like separated oil and terribly spiced sauce. It was flat tasting; I can't even call it one dimensional because it lacked any dimensions at all. Literally every jarred butter chicken sauce is better than this. We haven't even talked about the chicken, all 6 small pieces of it (again, for $15 I expect at least a full servings worth of meat) and every single one was the driest, blandest chicken I have had in a very long time. And if you read my reviews, dry meat is something I often criticize. I would rather eat all of those dried meats before ever stepping foot in this place again.
Now there are a lot of bad reviews here, but also some good ones. I'm assuming (and really hoping) this was a very bad example of their normal dish. But who has the nerve to serve this to anyone? You can see the pictures I posted. I was extremely disappointed eating this, and writing this review has brought back that terrible taste in my mouth. There are some amazing restaurants on Gerrard serving up authentic and delicious food, but they go out of business while this place gets featured on some national TV show?? What is wrong with this picture?
The only good things I can say: the servers were nice and helpful, even at the end of a busy Friday shift, AND (look two things!) the washrooms were nice.
