Mehfil Indian Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
I got the veg lunch box, which is pre-made curries with rice/naan. I like how they brought this concept (sewa) to offer this affordable meal. The taste was apt for its price. I think the general population would find it hard to trust the food/quality when you're served this way, but coming from a similar background as the restaurant staff, I believe them. Note: lunch boxes are only takeout!
the sweet meat thali is a solid bang for buck - the lamb and chicken were super succulent, couldn’t get enough of the raita! will definitely come back for a <$30 dinner night.
I had the chicken biryani which was tasty and reasonably priced for how big the portion was. Tables were nicely set and the service was great. Be aware there is a service fee if you're dining in (seperate from tax&tip).
Pretty good lunch spot. Tasty food served quickly by a very friendly server. Lamb korma was good with an ample portion of meat, some pieces were a little dry.
Got a Tikka Masala + naan to go. Extremely quick service and I had my lunch in 2 min. The chicken was a little dry, but I won’t complain. It wasn’t made to order and frankly I would rather get my food quickly. More rice than I’d like and next time I will ask for less rice than normal. Overall the food for the price and speed was great! The naan was really good too.
Visited the place in October 2019 during the business visit. The place is located in central place. I decided to sit outside as internal place is little dull. The best part was the food. The chef is really good and know how to mix proper Indian species. We order some paneer (cheese) and Dal (Lentils). The staff is nice and courteous. Worth visiting the place if you are looking for good Indian Vegetarian food.
Went to have dinner here. Service was quick. Loved the food quality. We ordered fish tandoori, chapati and chicken tikka masala. It was great. Food was hot, adequate quantity and tasty. There is washroom, parking is little difficult since it is on downtown.
A good vegetarian or vegan meal is hard to find outside of this community. I had an offer to do business with this restaurant and I agreed. The restaurant goers mostly ordered take out. They offered to let me sit, but I felt more comfortable with the takeaway option. Still, they had some nice tables outside on a sunny day. The food was very flavorful. While they had many options to a variety of consumers, I felt that the vegetarian option was superb in a world that often overlooks the beauty of this cuisine. It won’t leave you lacking in the spice department. I really appreciate the way the food excites the palate while keeping it real. The workers were very involved in the experience. I don’t think they expected the review, I just think they put an emphasis on good service with good food.
