Brar's Sweets & Restaurant

This place needs serious clean up of their utensils. There are lip-stick marks around the water glass. It clearly shows its been only rinsed and re-used. Food range is very good and kid oriented. Overall not bad, quite a busy place too.

I've been here several times and each time has been really good. There is ample parking space outside the restaurant which puts you in a good mood before even walking in. It is usually very busy over the weekends but the service is prompt. The interiors are nice and the atmosphere is entirely family-like. But lets come to the real deal: the food-I can easily say that it holds the biggest platter of vegetarian Indian food I've ever seen at a restaurant. It is almost impossible to try everything and yet you want to. They have a dish or two for you to try from almost every part of the country and somehow they still manage to expand their menu every year. The food is absolutely delicious! It is cooked perfectly right down to the salt and pepper. Moreover, the servers are quick and friendly and the surroundings clean.
My take on the restaurant-it'll have you going back over and over!

A very unpleasant experience. Terrible staff led by an equally ill mannered Manager.
Just coz my son looks older than a 2 year old the manager accused us of trying to lie about the age.

I guess the restaurant thinks that they will continue to attract good crowds. One thing they fail to realize is that if they want customers to go back to the restaurant they better train the staff (including the so called managers) better customer service.

I have no complaints about this restaurant. This is one of the best I have ever been to. Being a pure vegetarian, I am fully satisfied leaving this place happy. There is an unlimited variety of food, which is almost impossible to try everything. The fod is always heated properly, fresh and appearance is good. The service is also very good, the dirty plates get taken away very fast and friendly staff. I am surprised to read the bad comments about Brar, this is definetely a recommendation. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

Their islington location ...the original location is amazing.......something happened when they opened this location...just not the same....

im east indian and travelled the world...i know my food...

Normally don't post reviews anywhere, but we've been going here for a mid-week lunch buffet for a couple of years and I can't believe some of the negative comments I'm reading.

I'm not Indian, but have a well-developed taste for spicy foods like Indian and Caribbean. I'm also far from a vegetarian, but the buffet food here is superb, so much so that I'll choose this restaurant over any of the other meat or meat-free buffets Indian in the City.

The cooks do a great job of balancing the flavours, never using the spices to overpower the food, leaving enough of the heat and/or other flavouring to make the food great. We always leave feeling like we ate very well. And the service has always been friendly and attentive.

Maybe the weekends are a little different, busy and reduced quality of service but I have nothing negative to say about any of our visits, except Top Notch all the way.

Well, this is my second time at this location and I must admit I was disappointed. The food was too bland that I ended up eating the pasta and onion rings that they offer. I tried to try a bit of everything, but after a while it all started to taste the same!!!! Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I don't think I will be coming back again!!!!

This is the first buffet I've ever been to where i can feast on whatever my heart desires. Most dishes are vegan, and all are vegetarian. The food tastes great. I'm sure the service could be improved for some, though I go to restaurants to eat, so as long as i get my drinks and the dirty plates are removed, I am pretty much satisfied. Good atmosphere, and the chefs are happy to answer any questions one may have.

I'm not of Indian decent so perhaps i don't have the same preconceived notions of what good Indian food is but i have eaten at a large number of Indian restaurants all around the GTA and it's always been my preferred location.

These negative reviews here are baffling. Who comments it's Smelly and gross? I question the motives here as it certainly is NOT. You prefer the alternatives? Other similar restaurants in the area receive yellow health violation warnings from Peel Region, or they serve food that seems like it has been sitting out. seriously... wtf.

The atmosphere is so noisy and smelly that we feel like we are in fish market!!!! And to add more to it they have TV with Hindi songs with poor sound quality. All the veg items taste same and roti like a rubber. None of the items were warm, forget getting them hot. Very disappointing and will never visit again.
