    Caution ⚠️⚠️⚠️ fake reviews or may be purchased ratings…. Unbelievably overrated restaurant that I have ever dine in. I wish I could have given 0 stars. Each and every dish was pathetic. From appetisers to the dessert not a single thing was tasty at all. Moreover I saw they put gratuity 15% even though we were like 5 people. As per standard restaurant it has to be on 6 or more people. Biggest scam happening here. Prices are even worst like higher than any Toronto’s finest restaurants and food is disgusting. Please guys beware about this place. Not at all worth it. Not recommended at all. ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

    The restaurant was busy and took a bit to get seated. Not much of a waiting area which didn't help with the rainy weather. The service was disappointing. Our table had leftover food next to a couple of chair which was not promptly cleaned up. The waitress missed a couple of items we had ordered and the food was a bit delayed coming out. Water service was adequate. The food was lacking a bit of flavour. Having a palate well adjusted to Indian spices and food, it left a bit to be desired. The naan was the best item ordered. Desserts were sweet and flavourful

    Definitely overrated and fake reviews restaurant! the food quality is too bad, can’t even imagine how this restaurant is surviving with such standards, chicken smells bad, even the prices are too high, for 6pcs of small chicken which is dipped in ginger garlic paste costs 17.99$ 🤕 shame on you guys Either increase taste or do good business. We will not be coming back to you again. Never try soya chaap or chicken tikka here except butter naans.

    🛑Not Recommended 🛑 Overhyped 🛑 Overpriced 🛑 We visited this restaurant on Sunday afternoon. Restaurant was busy. They only had 2 crew members for taking orders and customer service. Most of our time went by looking for staff to place an order , request for water , salt and other stuff. Bro if you you are earning good then at-least have enough staff for service. We also felt that staff is overworked and couldn’t serve all the customer in time. Food 5/10 Service 2/10 Ambience 4/10 Not worth for your money. 🛑 Not recommended.🛑

    ⭐Not recommended because of service.⭐ This Place is near Clifton Hill (busy area in Niagara Falls). The restaurant looks very nice that's why I went inside. We don't have a good time,I think the owner needs to work on service, I will share my experience maybe it's my bad day-after taking a seat no one gives you a Manu card or takes orders, you have to call them 2, 3 times. It is hot outside and we are thirsty, water bottles are on the table as normal ,we drink but it costs $0.99/bottles (be careful).I have no problem paying but I should know that upfront ( I know that when I am paying bills they ask how many water bottles we used 😱) After 15 minutes passed finally someone take orders, we ask how much time it's take we got reply "40min"😲. We have no choice have to wait, No complain for food taste, it's good. Moral of story if you have time you can visit this place but if you are hungry and need food quickly never visit this place.

    It's kinda okay. Overpriced. Taste is not so good. Still you have to pay much more. Staff is good. Better go to the flavor and spices. You will get indian taste and good food.

    This place is highly recommended. Went to this place randomly when my wife and mother went to Canada. We always eat Indian cuisine here in Los Angeles, but this place was extremely fresh and delicious. Great customer service as well, all the employees were very attentive and went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of. Even Sunny the main manager stopped at our table to give us insight on many things like the culture there in Canada, opportunities people have in Canada, and even his home country. That was great because it was our first time visiting, very knowledgeable! Great experience over all!

    Absolute disappointment! Please don’t go by the reviews. Everything from waiting area to seating and food finally the bill was a big disappointment. My booth seating was uncomfortable, there lil to know seating area. I am nitpicking here but each cutlery provided for my table was different shape and size, almost as if they picked it from a garage sale. Food: Not many vegetarian appetizers. I ordered: Veg fritters: As attached, they were way undercooked and bland. Masala Papad: a paid cone with peanut masala. I have had masala papad in a lot of restaurants around the world, never had any with peanuts on it. The menu does not mention anything about peanuts hence ordered it. ***I am allergic to peanuts. Tandoori Roti: under cooked and chewy. Kadhi Paneer: No flavour, bland, a disappointment. I am embarrassed for the chef. Please think twice before making a decision, you will be disappointed.

    Very welcoming customer service. Service was fast and food was pleasant. The mix veg and veg biryani had pretty similar flavors. Veg biryani seemed rice added to the mix veg. It was good but nothing outstanding. Chicken Tikka was good.

    Excellent Indian food in Niagara Falls! Probably the best I've had anywhere. Great location right by all the tourist attractions. I always worry about the quality of the food near tourist attractions, but not here. Next time we're back here, we'll be eating at this restaurant.

    The location is amazing close to the falls but not satisfied with the quality of gravy it's all watery. I know you cater to Tourists so, we shouldn't be having regular guests however, quality needs to be improved. I liked all the breads specifically lacha paratha and naan. Will think twice before coming back to this place.

    Food quality was good but the waiting time to get the orders itself took 25 minutes that too reminded them couple of times. On top of that, serving the food took additional 35 minutes after couple of reminders. Overall it took almost 1 hour to get our food which really annoyed. Washroom was in pathetic condition.

    It was our first time here. We ordered Chicken Khurchan, Jeera rice and Dal Makhani.The food was delicious, service was quick and friendly. Dal makhani was very authentic and creamy. Chicken Khurchan was very flavorful. Pretty decor with great Hindi music to groove to while you eat. Will definitely be back the next time we visit Niagara. PS. Very creative name..loved it!!

    The Dhaba on the Falls has authentic Punjabi food. Roti's are very good and tasty. We had ordered Palak paneer, Kadai chicken, Butter Chicken. All the curries are very tasty. Chicken platter is good but very less quantity for the price. The only item that was below average is Jeera Rice. Restrooms are ok.

  • 2/5 Dhruva 3 months ago on Google New
    Food was not good. I ordered White Chap Tikka, Kadhai Paneer, Chilli Garlic Naan and Masala Tea. Let’s start with Masala Tea: There was no masala in the tea. It was hardly a tea. Tasted like a pich of tea in a water. Kadhai Paneer: It was blend, no taste. Despite of asking for highest spice level. Paneer was soft though. I’m not sure how that was a Chef’s recommended. That says a lot about their food in general. Chilli Garlic Naan: It was a joke. It was a naan with CHILLI FLAKES on it. How that is chilli garlic naan?? White Chaap Tikka: It was total waste. 11-12 pieces of chaap for $16. No flavour, nothing. The only best item on the plate was green chutney that came with the chaap tbh. And finally comes the price. It is way too expensive for such quality.

    First time trying out this restaurant after seeing loads of positive reviews. Our experience was kind of some dishes were absolutely tasty and couple of them were not that great. We had chat papri, panneer tikka, aachari chicken tikka, methi mattar Malai, kadai panneer, chilli butter naan and ajwain latcha paratha. Chat papri was good!! Panneer tikka was very bland and portion was very little it’s like 3 cubes totally to make it look like a lot of portion they had cut it into like 6 pieces m. This is the smallest portion of panneer tikka you can have anywhere for the price you pay. Aachari chicken tikka was good and tasted great compared, the portion was also really good. Coming to main course the breads were good although the chill butter naan was cooked good the flavor and taste of chilli was very less. The methi gravy tasted great but kadai panneer was sweet have never had a gravy that’s tasted this sweet. The service and atmosphere is great, you’d get free parking opposite to the restaurant which is a plus when you dine in. The panner gravy and chilli butter naan are marked as chef’s recommendation not sure I would recommend that to any one preferring to have those two!! Also paneer tikka needs to be flavorful apart from these 3 all the others were good.

    Food was good, service was excellent. We had samosa chaat, kadi pakora with naan and rice. Rasmalai was also good quantity i felt was less. Overall great options for veg and non veg both.

    Great atmosphere and very tasty food! The service is good and the portions are big, so it is possible to share between 2 people. Definitely recommend it for dinner near the Niagara falls.

    The Dhaba on the Falls is an ultimate delight. Visited for lunch with my family. We loved curries which were amazing with lots of flavour, very impressive for a vegetarian restaurant. The service was also great and overall the experience is wonderful.

  • 5/5 Seema Y. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was pretty good even if a little oily. Service could’ve been better. Loved the tandoori chicken, mint chutney and soya masala. Paneer tikka didn’t have any flavour in itself but still good. They should think of adding some cocktails in the drinks menu. Great time tho thanks!

    This a must visit restaurant which is very new in the neighborhood opened just 4 months before and is still under atmosphere change. But this will not at all effect your dine in experience. The restaurant is filled with positive experience and you are welcomed with a friendly staff who are very helpful and delighted to see their customers/guest walking in the resturant. Sitting arrangement is very nice and comfortable. Ordered chat papri, in main course Methi Malai Matar and Garlic Naan and 🥭 Lassi. Absolutely stunning delicious and fantastic food. Chaat came early after Lassi, but main course came a bit early as we dint even finished the chaat yet( may be i was eating it slow as yougurt was super cold). So I ate chaat side by side with main course(as I dint wanted my main course to get cold)But main course was very delicious and Absolutely smartly managed spices. I did saw many Caucasians in the resturant who were enjoying the delicacy, so I will sure recommend everyone that you should not hesitate to dine in here, as spices will be managed for you. I over heard servier was was frienldy enough to recommed the right food to them and constantly askd their dietary restrictions and provieded right recommedations and kept their spices level according to their needs.I really enjoyed my time and food over here will certainly visit again and will certain recommend anyone who is visiting falls must plan their dine in in this resturant. Washrooms are clean but still have to keep in mind about the regular cleanliness.

    I selected this restaurant for my family group of 8 based on the great reviews however, my experience wasn’t that great. We did not have reservations however, when we got there, they had a table available and we were seated right away. No one came to take our order for 20ish minutes and we didn’t get water for about 32 minutes. We were checking the time frequently as we were parched when we arrived and quite hungry as well. Really disappointed as we had to ask for water 2-3 times before it finally arrived. Not sure if they were understaffed or overwhelmed as the restaurant was about 75% occupied or both. But it’s quite astonishing that other servers couldn’t even notice our table didn’t even have water. The appetizer came about 10-15 minutes after we ordered but they came one by one instead of together - a bit odd and disappointing. We got pani puri - the water was way too sour, we did not enjoy as much. We got the dahi puri as well, which was alright; this needed a bit more flavour. We also got the paneer kali mirch masala - this was fantastic. We ordered the mains as soon as we got the last appetizer but it still took another 20-25 minutes for the dishes to arrive. For mains we got dal makhani, this was a bit spicy and it should not be spicy for this dish type. It’s suppose to be creamy and a bit sweet. We also got kadai paneer and Delhi style butter chicken, both very spicy. The butter chicken was ridiculously spicy. We struggled to eat these dishes but we were hungry and did not want to waste food so we did our best. We also did not want to go back to order another dish and wait any longer again. We also got the jeera rice, butter, and garlic naan; no issues here. Overall, because of the extreme slow delivery of items and lack of appropriate service, I would rate this place 3. Food was not that great overall. Not sure if the restaurant was having a bad day as the reviews say otherwise. The food quantity was very generous so that’s a plus point. I would suggest be prepared to wait and expect food to be spicy if you plan to head over here.

    Excellent food and chai! If you’re ever visiting Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, this cute little “dhaba” is a place you must visit! Especially if you’re in the mood for some hot desi chai, samosas, chaat and pakoras after a brisk walk to the falls. Great customer service and friendly staff. We will definitely visit again!

    On lookout 👀 for an Indian cuisine restaurant at Niagara Falls Clifton hills led us to this place. First thing first - Food All veg dishes and nan were to our satisfaction. Veg biryani needs some improvement in preparation and taste. In veg platter please do not serve samosa and bread items. Please think of more vegetables preparations. Even bhajias quality needs better preparation. It’s good but definitely chefs has lot of scope for improvement. So one star less in food. Service and seating arrangements- Here the staff is courteous and though might be preoccupied, if restaurant is full, attends to your requirements. They remember our points and in case unable to meet, surely conveys their reasons politely. Even seating is good. Here they get 5 stars. One star is deducted as being a senior citizen and prefer peaceful meals, the music and songs played were just slapping, literally, my ears. Had requested them to reduce volume at our table side which they did for a short span and again someone restored the high tone. So had to bear with high pitch and noise level. Most importantly it’s for food and service we visit a restaurant and this point they gain as willing to listen and comply as much possible to customers needs. So if they keep up their food and service standards, it surely can be a one stop Indian food restaurant at Niagara Falls. Enjoy your food.
