Banjara
Banjara has been a welcome addition to an otherwise non-descript strip on Bloor west of Christie Pitts. Located in something of a mini strip-mall (ok, there's Banjara and one other restaurant), the Indian restaurant has been winning fans over with its aloo gobi, eggplant bharta and matar paneer.

This restaurant is fantastic. I live in the area and have always wanted a cheap and cheerful Indian place to go out to. Me and my family often go, service is great, fair prices and excellent food. The dishes are not greasy/oily and the chef actually uses excellent spicing and seasoning. It can be very busy at peek times though. I suggest the eggplant bharta and the andrapradesh chicken with almonds. Also if you are going out for 2 the thali plates are an excellent and cheap choice.
The food here is really flavourful with lots of layers in every dish. Palak paneer is my favourite Indian dish and they do it better than any place I've tried. It's very reasonable, and the aroma walking into the place is incredible. Highly recommended.
there is only Banjara-everyone I have taken there just wants to go back, and the staff is fab!
The aroma: intoxicating. The flavors: well blended. The freshness+quality of ingredients: superb. I am extremely fussy w/food and this place won't disappoint. Not a place for a romantic dinner before a show, but rather a place for amazingly, delicious cuisine. Watching the artist in the kitchen prepare the kebobs is a delight if you can catch a glimpse. Worth every penny! And, they have parking. Nice little bonus.
One word: YUM!!
Had an bad experience. Found a dead fly in buttern chicken dish. I was soo discontent.Waitress working there kept denying and started to stare and laugh about it. They were very rude. I would never want to go there and I don't recommend anyone to go there either.
Much love Banjara. Thank you for taking the dirtiest druggie strip mall in Bloorcourt and turning it into the jewel of the neighbourhood!!
blogTO you guys have to review this place - one of the best Indian food restaurant in Toronto!
VERY VERY VERY GOOD! Great flavors! Great service! Return often!
Really shitty restaurant..
I don't know whether they were being douche bags cause i went with my teenage friends approx 20. They provided with us horrible service seating locations and everything. I had made a reservation as well.. and the food for an Indian restaurant is not that great.
THE BEST INDIAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD!!! PERIOD! I am not a regular! Take out or eat in, it is all sooooo good! TRY IT TRY IT TRY IT!
BlogTO needs to review this place! It is great!!
Please DO NOT tip when you go there!!! The employee don't get a penny out of it even if the money is handed on to their hands. They have to go back in the cash and deposit it for the management. However, the food is indeed really good. Please do go and eat there, Baigan Bharta, Butter Chicken, Chicken Corma, Beef Rogan Josh are some recommendation. But DO NOT tip :)
