    Never knew about this place. Looked up for good Indian restaurants and this one showed up with amazing ratings. Randomly gave it a try and wouldn’t regret. Mind blowing flavours and everything just cooked to perfection. Do try out the Tandoori Momo’s that’s a standout on the menu and definitely worth trying. Highly recommend and will be visiting again for sure.

    A cute Indian restaurant in Roncesvalles. Service is fast and the staff is helpful. The ambience well out together for a decent sit down meal. The food preparation was good and promptly served by the team. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good Indian dine-in place in the area.

    This place is amazing I wish the place was a little cleaner as their walls were splatter with some of the sauce from previous people. Overall the food was delicious. The samosas with the sauce is amazing definitely worth coming there to eat that. The mango lassi is also good it’s nice and chilled!

    Second time eating here and I can't wait for my third. I've told everyone I know to go here. Probably my favorite Indian food in the city. Everything is so flavourful. Great variety. Food comes out hot and fresh and the service is great.

    📣 📣 explored this Absolutely amazing place after a while…. Firstly I would like to say it’s a michelin star ⭐️ restaurant which is the great thing. From starter to the main course everything was delicious and precisely cooked with aromatic flavour of true indian spices. Best garlic naan 🫓. Big shout out for the greatest customer service that I have ever had seen in GTA restaurants. We had been given replacement right away for one starter as it was mildly under standard. Woww.. what a awesome gesture. I am going to visit agin this place to explore more dishes. And amazing prices which is really unexpected from such a wonderful restaurant. Thanks a lot for the best experience. 👌🏻🥂🤩😋

    Absolutely loved the food! Especially since Indian food cravings is a constant thing in my family. The naan was the best out of everything. It was cooked perfectly with a nice crisp and the garlic flavoring was on point! The food quality and presentation was really good even when they had a new chef that day. It was my first time but I had an amazing time…they had nice music and lighting to take nice pictures with my friends. Would totally recommend to go with friends and family!

    We had a great experience at Dil Se. i came Toronto to meet my family from Nova Scotia. I really had a great time over their. Specially with NIKITA, no doubt all other team members were also very nice but she is great. Very friendly. We were little confused about menu but she recommended best dishes and food was overall very delicious. We really had a great night over there. I would love to come again.

    I love the vibe and food here! All the food is very colourful and the space is quaint and warm. They even have a private space downstairs to host your private events too! Food was great portions and the flavours were on point. There’s also pictures online to show you what you’re exactly ordering! I highly recommend the chicken korma kumasutra!!

    Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! I couldn't resist ordering my usual fares, saag paneer and lamb curry, they're my favourites for a good reason. The earthiness of the spinach curry paired well with the creaminess of the paneer, while the tangy curry balances the fattiness of the lamb. The chef's special naan is topped with a variety of fragrant spices and brushed with a delicious amount of butter on top, with a soft, slight chewy texture that goes beautifully with the curries.

    We visited Dil Se for our anniversary and had a wonderful meal. The food was well seasoned and flavorful. The staff was very friendly and helpful as they suggested dishes based on our preferences. For dessert, we were presented with an anniversary topper and an anniversary song. It was truly a nice touch. I will definitely visit on my next trip to Canada!

    Loved the food and great customer service. Because I’m vegetarian, I asked if I could try the gravy of Chicken Kamasutra as it looked rich and delicious. I was shocked by the great service as chef has made the gravy without chicken and served us. That shows going above and beyond. Truly great experience at Dil Se.

    Awesome Indian food in Toronto. The Samosas are out of this world I definitely recommend getting it as an appetizer. I also tried the tandoori platter and it was delicious. It was really big so it's definitely something you can share with a group. For the entrees I tried the chicken Kamasutra, chicken Tikka masala and chicken lababdar. All three were solid choices. The chicken Kamasutra and lababdar were more on the sweet side. The mango lassi was delicious as well. I would come here again.

    First, the ambiance of the place is just cozy and beautiful. The second we came in, first person who greeted is the manager Joshy, he got us seated right away. It was fast and friendly. Second, service is exceptional, this is the definition of customer service. Its already late and they probably working the whole day but they keep the smile while serving us. Lastly, ofcourse the food! This is my first time in this place and it was just amazing. 100/10 experience. We ordered chilli chicken and tandoori momos for appetizers. SOOO GOOD! and for our main, we had Lamb biryani and it was the best one. Cant say anything else. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. 100% recommended!

    The food here is mind-blowing. I have lived in Canada for 40 years and this is seriously the best Indian food I’ve ever had! Please give Dilse a try! You won’t regret it. We had the best service from Nikita; she’s sweet, attentive, knowledgeable and very attentive!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Del Se Indian Restaurant and Bar, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I entered, I was greeted warmly by the staff and immediately felt a sense of warmth and hospitality. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. The aromatic scents of Indian spices filled the air, adding to the overall immersive dining experience. One dish that particularly stood out was the chicken curry. The tender chicken cooked with rich flavours were perfectly balanced, and every bite was a harmonious blend of spices that left me craving for more. The biryani was another standout dish, with fragrant basmati rice and tender, succulent pieces of meat cooked to perfection. It was truly a feast for the senses. the service provided by the staff was impeccable especially miss Saloni. Throughout the evening, she was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about her work. The enthusiasm and genuine care for her guests were evident in every interaction, making the evening even more memorable. Lastly, I must mention the warm and inviting nature of the entire team. In conclusion, my experience at Dil Se Indian Restaurant and Bar was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of delectable food, inviting ambiance, and exceptional service made it an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're a connoisseur of Indian cuisine or a first-time explorer of flavors, I highly recommend visiting Dil Se Indian Restaurant and Bar and indulging in their culinary delights. I can't wait to return and savor more of their exquisite dishes.

    Fantastic spot for Indian food in Toronto. The recipes and flavours were on point. Most importantly the service from Yogesh and Roshni made the entire experience fantastic. Golgappe were truly delicious to start with. Their tandoori appetizers (paneer and chicken) were modified for the tastes of my friends and wife since they are more sensitive. The breads were crispy and perfect to go with the curries. Keep it up Dil Se team. We will be back soon!

  • 3/5 Avi K. 11 months ago on Google
    The staff is awesome but I had a few suggestions for the food. I ordered appetizers only for my meal and chicken chilli and hakka noodles were 2 of the dishes which I felt left a bitter taste in my mouth. The chicken chili was an already cooked before and was only heated in a microwave I guess and sent out to us

  • 5/5 Astha S. 1 year ago on Google
    By far one of the best Indian food I have eaten in GTA. No scope for deducting marks. Top class ambience, service, staff and menu. You will find whole list of snacks as well as Indian main course. And not to forget the mock tails . My favourite was Imli ka boota .. I bumped into the head chef and could not hold my appreciation for all that I ate. We had Tandoori chicken Momos, Malai seek kabab, Tomato soup, Lentil Soup, Hakka chicken noodles, Amristsari kulcha & Chana masala. And yes they do adjust as per your spice level. Must visit . Best wishes to you all.. Dil Se 🫶🏻

    First time here and it was really good. We had a very sweet server Roshni. Ordered paneer tikka masala, garlic and butter naan which was really good. Pro tip: do let them know about your spice levels, we really liked hit and spicy and got as requested.

    One of the best Indian food I've had in the city (if not the best!). We got a few plates of lamb, chicken, paneer, rice, and naan to share amongst 6 people and everything was absolutely delicious. The service was also top notch, they were fast with getting the orders and giving us some yummy recommendations. Highly recommend!

    I enjoyed the food here and want to give a big shout out to Roshni. When I walked in, some of the waiters mixed up my reservation and were unfriendly. However, when Roshni took over our table, the quality of service increased phenomenally, like a complete 180. Giving our orders to the initial waiter felt like a painful exercise but Roshni immediately sensed that our food was too spicy and asked if we could swap it at no extra cost. Also, provided us with mango lassi shots for free. Their serving sizes are also very big and really affordable. Will definitely visit this place again. P.S. their spicy is really really spicy!

  • 4/5 pallavi b. 1 year ago on Google
    I went in for a take out but decided to dine in and try their butter chicken. It was my first time trying their food. I was a bit disappointed they did not have tandoori chicken on the menu. I ordered garlic naan with the butter chicken. For drinks I ordered Malibu with pineapple and a splash of cranberry. The butter chicken was nice but I wished I asked for spicy instead of medium spice level as it had a bit of sweetness which was expected. They use white meat (breast) in the butter chicken and it was cooked tenderly. In the drink I wish they added more Malibu or less pineapple as it tasted more on the pineapple side and coconut flavor was missing. I requested for sirka onions which was freshly made. It was a nice experience and I did not regret walking in and trying their food for the first time.

    Authentic Indian food served with authentic smiles. The photos tell the story and they deserve the high reviews. Loved this locally run family restaurant. Food was delicious and all the front of house staff was enthusiastic to ensure you had a great dining experience. The white cloths are a nice touch. Will definitely dine here again.

    Great food and great service. The waitresses were very attentive and made sure to accommodate my allergies. At one point, I was struggling to open the water jug and a waiter passing by kindly helped. I asked for recommendations as it was my first time here and was told to try the Chef’s Special (Chicken lababdar). I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend!

    Took my partner here for the first time and he loved it! He said the chicken briyani was his the best he ever had! We really enjoyed the Chicken Kamasutra. It was rich with flavour and was very tender. The garlic naan was great, just wish it had a bit of salt. The service was amazing and the staff was really helpful helping us to decide what to order. Overall an amazing experience and definitely recommend visiting here.

    Dil se hands down serves the best Indian Food in the GTA. The food here is sublime! Their food tastes delicious and is cooked fresh and cooked to perfection. Their paneer lababdar, dal makhani, makhmali paneer, veggie korma, garlic naan, and biriyani are the best ever. Definitely worth not one but multiple visits, you will not be disappointed.

    Love the theme of the place “Dil Se” and the meaning behind it. Loved the customer service- very understanding, respectful and add a little humour! Enjoyed the ambiance and the classic Bollywood music. Place was comfy and cozy. The waitress whose name starts with an R is a sweetheart.

    We visited this place after seeing it in the michelin star guide for 1 star. We ordered chicken lababdar and beef vindaloo. The meats were properly cooked and the use of the spices and nuts just merry together. We had issues looking for parking around considering the location but it’s accessible to commuters and people around the neighborhood. I’m not a fan of the atmosphere inside, it felt a little cramped but you go here for thee food or just order delivery. Service is nice and relaxed. It was nice of them to cut off one of their ballon design when one of the kid asked for it. Very friendly servers.
