    Had a wonderful evening at dinner. Service and attention was exemplary. Dishes were delicious. Was disappointed that the famous lamb shank was finished, too many previous orders I guess. Manager Diego was gracious and accommodating with all arrangements, and is customer service personified. His assistant Lucky also provided courteous customer service.

    Very bad experience! I was very excited to try this place and was very much looking forward but we ended up very disappointed! We had beef rogan josh and sizzling mix platter. We were told by our waiter that the sizzling platter (42$)is enough for two people and comes with 4 shrimps. Well, it was too small even for one person, came with 3 shrimps, and the chicken tandoori was uncooked, well seasoned but uncooked. So I mentioned that to our waiter and he took our plate to the chef and came back saying chef says this is how it is. I showed him the uncooked part of the chicken and he asked me if I want him to bring it back and cooke it more to which I said yes please! So they didn’t replace our dish, they just recooked the two pieces of chicken left!!! Rice was also undercooked and hard when chewing. Beef josh was delicious but there were only 4 small cubes of beef in it. So I would consider the main dish as a starter. When we arrived, we were excited and were talking to come back. But don’t think so! I would not recommend this place to anyone We got 10% discount because of the uncooked chicken experience! :-D I find it a bit hilarious!

    All of our dining experience was near excellent. Only note would be that if there is already a party or two that are noisy, the back ground music could be turned down so as not to add to the cacophony. Otherwise it was great!

    Always used to enjoy dining here with family. But the quality has declined a lot and the menu last time was better with Samosas being more simple with sauce on the side. Hope the quality improves in future.

    Lovely space with plenty of light and a view of the park on two sides. The menu offers enough selection to be interesting, without being overwhelming. We really enjoyed the Tandoori Chicken Masala. Interesting drinks are found on the cocktail list. The rest of the alcoholic beverage offerings are disappointing. For example, there is not one single Ontario VQA wine on the list, and the only cider is French. Outrageous in a province that produces many excellent wines and ciders.

    Summer meals outside on the terrace would be fantastic - including evening outdoor lighting and water rippling gently across the horizon pools! 5:00 Oct. 15 dinner: Inside ambience at a window table was stunning - including huge clouds rolling by the huge outside windows. Atmosphere was soothing. After request, a loud Frank Sinatra was turned down nicely. No music appropriate to the Aga Khan restaurant. After responding to website inquiry that yes, this was a birthday event - a bit disappointed that nothing special was available, other than a small candle and sparkler with whatever dessert, if any, was ordered. Huge, tasty order of french fries. Main meal and mango pudding were tasty.

    At the entrance, we had to wait for a few minutes since there was no attendant. While the food was decent, it could have been better in terms of quality. Specifically, the chicken pieces in the Biryani were very dry, which was disappointing.
