During our trip to Toronto a couple of months ago, we stumbled upon what is hands-down the best Indian food I’ve ever had in Canada — and that’s saying something after trying spots across the country! Dil Se (meaning “from the heart”) truly lives up to its name with authentic North Indian cuisine cooked straight from Chef Mani Panwar’s passion and his mother’s traditional recipes.
We ordered their famous award-winning Chicken Kamasutra — oh my god, that creamy, spiced tomato-based gravy with tender chicken was pure seduction on a plate! The rich orange hue, swirl of cream, fresh parsley, and pops of green/red peppers made it look (and taste) like edible art. We also devoured the Butter Chicken — mild yet deeply flavorful with melt-in-your-mouth chunks — and a smoky Chicken Tikka Masala loaded with charred veggies, onions, ginger slivers, and that irresistible red sauce. Don’t miss the Dal Makhani either; slow-cooked black lentils in a velvety, buttery, garlic-infused heaven, topped with a generous dollop of cream.
Everything arrived in beautiful copper vessels, served piping hot with fluffy garlic naan that was perfect for scooping up every last bit. The portions were generous, flavors bold yet balanced, and the whole meal felt like a warm, homemade hug from India.
Service was welcoming and efficient, the vibe cozy and elegant on Roncesvalles Ave — a gem in a street full of great eats. If you’re in Toronto craving real, soul-satisfying Indian food, make Dil Se your first (and probably only) stop. We’ll be dreaming about that Chicken Kamasutra until we return! Highly recommend — 5 stars aren’t enough. ❤️

A Truly “Dil Se” Experience!
Dil Se is an absolute gem and truly deserving of its Michelin Guide recognition. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and exceptionally quick. The presentation and serving style elevated the entire dining experience.
We tried the Chicken Lababdar, and it was outstanding — rich, cashew-nutty, mildly spiced yet full of depth, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Paired with their butter naan and garlic naan, it felt like authentic North Indian comfort on a plate.
The Chicken Seekh Kebab was another star — juicy, succulent, and loaded with flavor. The Chilli Chicken was perfectly executed with a crisp texture and beautifully sautéed onions and bell peppers, striking the ideal balance of spice and crunch.
Overall, the food, service, and ambiance make this place truly special. Cheers to the entire Dil Se team — you are worthy of every bit of praise from the Michelin Guide, and we genuinely hope to see you earn a Michelin star soon!

I’ve loved and cherished the Roncy area for over 10 years, and I’ve tried countless restaurants and cafés here. I originally ended up at this place by chance — the spot I planned to visit was either closed or permanently shut down — and it truly felt like discovering a hidden gem.
With such an impressive number of reviews and high ratings, I was curious what made this place so special. The answer is simple: the food is delicious, and the service is genuinely friendly. It has the basic qualities every good restaurant should have.
I had only ever tried tandoori chicken before, but the lamb chops here were outstanding. The buttered garlic naan and the house sauces served on the side were also amazing. I’m 200% willing to come back!
Bonus tip: it’s surprisingly quiet during weekday lunch hours.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were polite, professional, and attentive throughout our visit. The atmosphere was inviting and beautifully arranged, with comfortable seating and a clean, well-maintained environment that made us feel relaxed right away.
The menu offered an impressive variety of dishes, catering to different tastes and preferences. Every item we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The presentation was elegant and appealing, showing the care and attention put into every dish. The flavors were well-balanced, and the quality of ingredients was clearly noticeable. Portion sizes were generous, making the meal satisfying and worth the price

As a lifelong fan of Indian cuisine, I’m always on the hunt for that perfect balance of heat, spice, and—most importantly—the ultimate comfort of a rich, saucy curry. I finally checked Dil Se off my bucket list for lunch, and I can honestly say it’s my new favorite spot in Toronto.
We started with the Dry Manchurian bites, which were absolutely surreal—the perfect texture and punch of flavor. For the mains, we dived into a perfectly charred Tandoori Chicken and a decadent Cashew-based Curry. If you are a “sauce person” like me, that curry is a dream come true, especially when paired with their fresh Garlic Naan. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again!
What truly elevated the meal was the hospitality. Our server, Sanjeev, was fantastic—proactive, knowledgeable, and ready with great recommendations. We were treated like royalty from the moment we walked in.
Dil Se delivers a certified 5-star experience that is high-quality without breaking the bank. If you’re looking for authentic flavors and a warm atmosphere, this is the place. I can’t recommend it enough!

The food was excellent. They have a wide range of offerings. We ordered the chicken lababdar, chicken tikka masala, 2 x garlic naan bread and plain rice. The main dishes were exceptional and had a lot of depth. They were each spiced to our personal preferences. Plenty of chicken on each dish and enough sauce to cover a healthy portion of rice and to eat over the naan. Our first order of naan was good, but the second order of naan bread was super fresh and came out steaming – a stark difference. Every order should come out steaming.
The hostess was ok. She sat us down, but didn’t bring any menus or offer is water. We had to get up and get our own. The other three people who came to our table ( server, runner, and bus boy) were all exceptionally kind and on point.
The restaurant is very clean, well lit and cozy. We ate early and had the entire front section to ourselves, which was lovely.
Highly recommend.

I love Indian cuisine and Dil Se offers the best variety of high quality and tasty Indian dishes.
The restaurant spreads through 2 floors; main floor with the main bar and booths/tables for couples or groups. For larger group gatherings and event, there is a spacious dining area below ground with a separate bar. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.
I have tried different dishes on their menu and there’s not a single dish I didn’t enjoy or I wouldn’t recommend. Each dish is put together with their unique spices and flavours. And the presentation is beautifully done.
I strongly recommend “Chicken Kamasutra”, “Butter Chicken”, “Shahi Paneer” and the variety of their roti, paratha, naan and kulcha.

Amazing Indian food in the heart of Downtown Toronto. The service was great overall. Polite and welcoming people.
The food was great. We tried dry Manchurian, Chef’s special paneer and butter naan. Everything tasted amazing and had good portion size. The prices were a little high but the taste was good.
A must try indian food restaurant in downtown!

Delicious food, very quick service, and a lovely family-friendly atmosphere. We got the veggie platter for our appetizer and it had a good assortment of items. We ate our entrees family style – butter chicken, beef korma, murgh malai tikka, saffron mutter pulao, 2 orders of the chef’s special naan, and a mango lassi. We will definitely be ordering EVERYTHING again!
