This place is OK depending on what you're looking for. I've been eating "Indian food" for a long time since I was a child so I'm a little bit critical when it comes to flavour. Overall the service was very good... they have a doorbell system in place at your table where you ring the bell for your server similar to what I've seen at Korean restaurants.
Once we were seated we were greeted with Papadum's (often referred to as cracker things) and two sauces, one which was a chutney which was good and the other yogurt based sauce with mint, cilantro, etc. which was also good.
We started off by ordering the veggie pakora. It came out quickly and paired OK with the chutney but was a bit stodgy and was not piping hot as if it just came out of the deep fryer as we were hoping it would have been.
For the main course we ordered the chicken biryani, garlic naan, butter chicken and palak paneer.
Of all of the four the palak paneer was definitely the best. It had decent flavour and was good compared to some other Indian restaurants I have been to in Toronto.
The garlic naan was very good... along with the palak paneer they were definitely the highlights of the meal.
We were impressed by the fact that the butter chicken came packed with chicken for the price we paid but tasted extremely, extremely bland and had little to no flavour, at all... it seemed like the chicken was literally breast meat cubed up and thrown into the sauce. Very disappointed in this dish. It tasted like store shelf butter chicken sauce (maybe even worse).
The chicken biryani was just OK. Same cubed up breast meat we had in the butter chicken but the flavour was just lacking and needed the cilantro/mint sauce added to it to make it desirable to eat. It had whole seeds in it which I assumed would have made the flavour more intense but it just didn't for some reason.
Overall Banjara is probably a good place to go if you're new to Indian food and do not like spices and complex flavours but favour quantity over quality. Personally I would not go back again with so many other better choices around the GTA. Not sure how this place got 4 out of 5 stars... seriously.
