I’m Indian and apologize to those people who think this is authentic. It came out of a 15L white plastic bucket. It’s a pre-made butter chicken sauce that he used and added to both the Tikka Masala and the Saag Paneer (if I ordered Butter Chicken, he would have just added cream to the sauce base).
Saag paneer is not made with the same base as Tikka masala, so the fact that my saag paneer came out with a red tinge is not authentic. I also saw him open a can of saag (pureed spinach and greens). So there’s nothing being made from scratch.
The sauce base is good, however, you can find the same sauce base down any Indian aisle of a grocery store. So paying a premium for this isn’t fair to the consumer.
Finally, they didn’t have samosa, so he suggested pakora. Pakora is vegetables or meats coated in chickpea batter and deep fried. This is very obviously left over breakfast hash that is loosely coated and fried. Besides not being pakora, it was also mushy, greasy and tasted of stale oil.
I read the article proudly displayed on the bulletin board, but I don’t see anything truly authentic in what Mr. Chopra has made. Not only is it just reheated, it’s lazily constructed.
Understandably, he doesn’t get the traffic needed for fresh food and a lot probably goes to waste or has to be repurposed. But visit any of the hundreds of Indian style fast food joints in Brampton, Mississauga or Scarborough, or just across thr street at County Flame and you can see there are better ways to make fast food fresh and flavourful.

I got the mutter paneer and it was amazing. There is so much flavor in the sauce, and everything came out fresh and hot. Very affordable, tasty and authentic Indian cuisine at this little Cafe. Definitely a hidden gem in Brighton!

We have ordered food from here numerous times, and it has always been yummy; tried many dishes, and all have been really good. The serving sizes can be small, but I just grill more chicken and throw it in the sauce so as to have more for the next day. We order mild, but some items are a little spicy. If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t let the atmosphere fool you; the food really is good!

Went in today order 1 butter chicken meal with garlic naan and two chicken samosas. I got handed curry chicken which had so much spice but no flavour very little chicken with bones in it. No rice and my samosas were frozen. Waited over an hour and a half and this place use to be great clearly you got new management and apparently lower standards. I hope this was an off night if things don’t improve I won’t be returning

Placed my order at 5:15 for two butter chicken with garlic naan and rice for each. I was told 30min wait time, came back to be told to wait another 20min only to come back and wait for over an hour after the fact and be given the wrong order three times. At least the ladies waiting for their messed up order were nice to talk to. Also i was told he couldn’t add rice to my order today because of something about a sore back. My friend also ordered butter chicken and two chicken samosas which came to us frozen in the middle and were literally bite size.

This place is great. The cook is very friendly and accommodating. He explained the menu and let me know of changes that are coming to the menu also. Food was delicious fresh. One thing I’d recommend is to have larger portions of rice and better take out containers.

I originally sent this as a DM to the owners to try and be helpful, but they couldn’t even be arsed to respond. So I’m reposting it here to hopefully spare other customers their terrible food. Judging by the other recent unflattering reviews it’s star rating is only above one star because they kept the same name as the previous business.
Hi there.
This is Andy the British guy who just picked up the Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry and vegetable samosas. When we ordered earlier this afternoon you asked us to give you feedback. I’m writing a private message rather than posting it on your FB page as the feedback is not at all complimentary and you’re a new business I’d like to see succeed.
Frankly the meal was awful the Lamb dish was spectacularly bad. The lamb was essentially a bland watery stew with very few pieces of meat. While the seasoning of the butter chicken was better it was also swimming in a very watery sauce. If the food from the previous owner Ben was a 5 out of 5 I think I’d be very generous giving the food we just got a 1 out of 5. We’ve been eating Indian cuisine all over the world for over 40 years now, including Michelin star Indian restaurants, back street Indian restaurants in the east end of London (UK) and many here in Canada. I’ve never ever been served a dish with such a watery sauce. Obviously the food being ready for pick up an hour earlier than agreed didn’t help as we had to microwave it. But i don’t think that made too much difference to the final outcome. It almost seemed like your ‘chef’ hadn’t prepared enough sauce and had to water it down in an desperate attempt to stretch it out. The previous business you’re trading under had a loyal customer base here in Brighton who were very disappointed when Ben shut down his business.
And I know people were excited to hear you guys were reopening the place “with improverised ideas”, but I suspect despite all that goodwill if the quality of the dishes your ‘chef’ prepares doesn’t drastically improve you’ll lose them.
I’m sorry to be so negative and believe me i’d much prefer to be praising the quality of the food we just ate – but then I’d be lying.
I hope this is in someway helpful and I really don’t intend to be mean, in fact if you hadn’t specifically asked for feedback when we ordered I wouldn’t have bothered and just never ordered from you again.

Edit: Just found out that there has been a change of ownership and Ben is no longer there.. so hopefully the quality of the food will not change, however saying that .. I used to go there specifically for the Samosas .. so I got some yesterday from the new owners .. and really guys .. they are very disappointing (compared to what Ben offered) same price but about a 3rd of the size ..you’ll need to come back to the previous standards if you want to keep your regulars .. and just to add .. the menu on the website shows the larger Samosa.
************************************************************
Good food .. I get the Samosas. Normally Veggie ..but if you ask he will do beef as well

The food is decent but nothing special & it’s not authentic. Try it once if you are hungry and like Indian food. It’s decent.
Keep in mind this is a place for take out only. Not the ideal place to dine in. The decor inside is plain & boring. I passed from sitting inside. They could do a lot better to improve the dining in experience.
The restaurant’s appearance from the outside is cheap looking. You wouldn’t even know it was an Indian cuisine restaurant at quick glance with the pics/decor on the outside. It’s located in the gas station building too. For this reason they should really improve the look of the outside of the restaurant to attract more customers but they don’t.
