Mumbaikar at Bloor, Toronto, ON – Reviews, Ratings, Tips and Why …
Reviews
Parking is big headache, there is street parking but always no space available. You need to roam within nearby streets to find the parking, which is very annoying.
I tried Maharashtrian Thali for the first time, and it was delicious. Mumbaikar never disappoints in food.
The food is delicious and authentic, with a great selection of traditional Mumbai dishes.
The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy. We tried the chicken, surmai, and pomfret thali, which were spicy and amazing! Along with schezwan rice, chicken lollipop, and solkadi (favorite), which just added more flavors to everything.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a taste of Mumbai in Toronto
A little bit of Indian and a touch of Hakka, combined into a lot of flavour. The masala lollipops are difficult to inhale in one bite, as they easily come off the bone in one satisfying, tender chunk that’s slathered in a savory masala gravy. The best things come in trios, according to anime at least, and the triple szechuan fried rice features the mix of rice, egg noodles, and crispy fried noodle on top. The oil that gives each component its shiny sheen has a smoky aroma, and it’s served with fried chicken pieces and savory gravy. After all that umami, it’s time to freshen up with a bit of sweetness, and this was surprisingly not as sweet as I thought desserts in India would be. An airy sponge cake is saturated in a milky broth, with an added florality of rose petals and crumbled pistachios.
While a few items on the menu felt slightly overpriced, most of it is good value for the quality. The service was excellent—quick and attentive—and the ambience is decent, with some amazing wall art, especially the Ganpati mural which really stands out.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving bold Indian flavours in Toronto.
The menu is rich with traditional Maharashtrian dishes, both veg and non-veg, and the usual spice levels are on the higher side—just as you’d expect—but the taste is absolutely worth it. The staff is courteous and attentive, making the dining experience pleasant.
It’s a small-scale place but offers a good variety, including a full bar. If you’re looking to explore regional Indian cuisine beyond the usual North Indian staples, this place is definitely worth a visit!
When I entered, I was welcomed by that familiar strong Indian food aroma — which is expected in such a place — but sadly, the smell wasn’t pleasant. It didn’t smell clean or fresh. It had more of a musty, not-well-maintained vibe. A touch of incense or some fresh aroma would’ve made a huge difference in creating a welcoming environment.
The restaurant is small but has cute decor with pictures and touches that reflect the spirit of Mumbai and Maharashtra, which I appreciated. However, the customer service didn’t leave a great impression. There were hardly any people when we arrived. The person attending to us seemed uninterested and was not helpful even when we asked for recommendations.
I knew I wanted to try their pav bhaji, so I ordered that along with their “Mumbaikar Tacos” (paneer roast) and pistachio tres leches for dessert. The pav bhaji arrived quickly, within 10 minutes, but the portion shocked me. For around $17, they served bhaji in a tiny bowl with two small pavs — not even enough for one person, let alone two. The pavs were so tiny that each one was barely two bites.
As for the taste — a huge disappointment. The bhaji was overwhelmed with garam masala, and that’s all I could smell and taste. Despite specifically asking for it not to be spicy, the dish was just a punch of spice with no balance or authenticity. The texture was decent, but the flavor was way off. The pavs were slathered in butter (maybe that’s what they were charging for?), but given the size, it just didn’t make sense. Pav bhaji is supposed to be comforting, rich, and balanced — this was none of that.
Next up were the Mumbaikar tacos. Again, I had asked for non-spicy, but they were packed with whole red chilies and an overload of spices. The flavors were confusing, and the actual taste of paneer or the veggies was completely lost in the mix of masala. It felt like everything was just dumped together.
Finally, the dessert — pistachio tres leches — one of their signature offerings. Unfortunately, this too was underwhelming. It tasted overly artificial, as if a pistachio syrup had been added to regular milk. The cake was dry and did not soak the milk well at all. Tres leches is supposed to be light, soft, and melt-in-the-mouth. This was far from it.
To top it all off, while I was still eating my taco, we asked for the check, and the server just took away my half-eaten plate without asking. That was the last straw.
As someone from Mumbai, I walked in with hope and walked out completely disappointed. I’d give them two stars — only for the cute decor — but I wouldn’t return. This place needs serious improvement in taste, service, and authenticity.
