You 've had the rest in south Etobicoke, now you need to smarten up and have the best. Living near the area here, I had been blinded by another subpar Indian restaurant, accepting that it was as good as it gets for the area and submitted to eating poorly portioned, bland take out/delivery whenever a South Asian craving hit me. Then out on a whim, after passing it in the car, I gave Bombay On the Lake a call and placed our usual Friday night/Sunday too lazy to cook delivery Indian meal. This consists of Veggie Pakora, Saag Paneer, Butter Chicken OR Lamb Vindaloo, plain Basmati rice and approx 2 3 garlic naan. The result? Fan fricken tastic. Delivery time was (and continues to be) faster than...
When the Owners are away, the mice will play. The Owners were not around, and I 'm not sure if Shilpa (owner) has the same quality standards. I 've found that supporting local restaurants has been an important thing for myself and my family. We ordered the Vegetarian Biriyani, Veggie Manchurian, and Onion Pakora as a 'tester ' before considering this little restaurant to cater an event. Veggie Biriyani Biriyani is supposed to have a flavourful layered smell and taste. For $12, I got some rice, with boxed spices, and undercooked frozen green beans and full size baby corn from No Frills. Thumbs down, probably some of the worst I 've had in my life Veggie Manchurian 6 balls, with half an onion...
Dined here recently, saw a plethora of great reviews, it did not live up to the expectation. The food and service were good, but at best I would say it is average. Pluses are the Lassi were delicious, the samosas were done right, served with a choice of tamarind or corrinader For the mains, tried the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. The butter chicken was ok, I'm more use to the chicken being prepared tandoori style first, this was tiny cubes of chicken breast in a butter chicken sauce. Sure it was ok, but not as authentic as I would have expected from an Indian restaurant. The tikka masala was quite delicious, but I ordered extra hot, and it just tasted as though habanero sauce was...
This cute restaurant was our choice to celebrate Valentines Day. It was very quiet for dinner on the Sunday before Family Day. The service was perfect. The waiter was there when we needed him and invisible when we didn't. The food was good. Above Par for Indian Food in Toronto. We tried a new appetizer not yet on the menu. It was a vegetarian dish made with cauliflower and red, yellow and green peppers. The sauce was fantastic! I little spicy for my dinner companion. They are starting a lunch buffet in March. We plan to stop by one day to sample more items from their menu. One issue with the meal was the butter chicken was light on the chicken. We gorges ourselves on the sauce and nan. We di...

Went back to Bombay on the Lake after an 11 years break. Service was great, very attentive and courteous. The food was waaaay too mild, there is no heat at all. (Portions are on the smaller side too . We'll probably be back but I'll ask for a lot higher heat/spice level or I won't be able to taste anything. I almost asked for hot sauce but stopped myself because I was worried it would offend the chef. Loved the beer though, Cheetah is very nice but the beer was lukewarm, needs to be cold. Decor hasn't changed in 11 years but that's not a big deal, prices are reasonable and a lot of vegetarian items to choose from. My kids were given free popsicles when we paid the bill, thank you :
Went back yesterday, enjoyed it thoroughly, Shrimp was nice, man nice, chicken was nice, cubed, but not bad, rice was nice, naan was amazing, man, they must have it good in an Indian Jail, all you need is rice and sauce and bread, anyways, this place surprised me, so I'll be back, next time for lunch, $9.99 with a pop, great deal, let's see how it goes then,
Wonderful food Great service. The first few costs here I found the naan bread to be a little too well done. But That hasn't been a concern lately...the mango lassie is very tasteful. I will continue to order my Indian food from here :
The Naan, bahji, and Kashmiri pilau were amazing. The chicken Vindaloo was beyond disappointing. I think I maybe got 3 pieces of chicken in the entire dish. It was all sauce, no substance. Won't be ordering that again.

Go here eat this food. You WILL not be disapointed! I have tried the chicken giner kabab, the chicken tikka, the garlic naan, the pakora, and a number of other dishes. All of them are fantastic. Trust me. Just go
Server was good and not accommodating. My tandoori chicken came out cold at first, had to send it back. The server gaslight my boyfriends allergy. Not impressed. Food was mediocre.
