Leela is a fantastic Indian restaurant that delivers both authentic flavors and an exceptional dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent and attentive, friendly, and efficient without being overwhelming. The staff made thoughtful recommendations and ensured everything was perfectly timed.
We started with Chicken 65 and eggplant fries. The Chicken 65 was beautifully spiced, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside, with just the right balance of heat and tanginess. The eggplant fries were a pleasant surprise lightly battered, crisp, and not greasy, making them incredibly addictive. The three types of chutneys served on the side elevated the appetizers even more, each offering a unique flavor profile that complemented the dishes perfectly.
For the main course, the charcoal butter chicken was the star of the table. Rich, smoky, and creamy, it had deep flavors that paired wonderfully with the soft garlic naan and fragrant basmati rice. The naan was freshly baked, fluffy, and generously brushed with garlic, making it ideal for scooping up the luscious curry.
The drinks were equally impressive. The Mango Mojito Mocktail was refreshing and vibrant, while the Martini cocktail was smooth and well-balanced.
The portion sizes were very generous easily enough for three people to share comfortably. Overall, Leela offers outstanding food, large portions, and impeccable service, making it a must-visit for anyone craving quality Indian cuisine.

I had such an amazing experience at **Leela Indian Food Bar** and I have to give a special shoutout to Raj and Dee for making it truly memorable!
From the moment we walked in, Raj and Dee were incredibly warm, attentive, and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and comfortable. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive — they gave great recommendations and took the time to explain different dishes, spice levels, and flavors so we could choose exactly what suited us.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the authenticity and quality ingredients in every bite. Whether it was the rich, creamy curries, perfectly cooked naan, or the aromatic rice dishes, everything was spot on.
What really made the night special was the service. Raj and Dee checked in at just the right times, made sure our drinks were topped up, and created such a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and take pride in their work.
If you’re looking for incredible Indian cuisine paired with top-tier service, Leela Indian Food Bar is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back — and hoping Raj and Dee are working! ✨

We discover this gem of a amazing Indian Restaurant when we came to celebrate a belated birthday. From the warm greeting to exceptional service by their wonderful server Viraj, the whole experience went from good to great especially when the foods were served. The food taste was ultra delicious and cooked with pride. We have eaten Indian food everywhere and definitely considered this our best Indian restaurant and experience. Thank you Viraj and manager Deed who came over to thank you for visiting. We willl be back with our staff very soon !!! Thank you Bahut bahut dhanyavaad बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद ❤️

Hands down the best Indian food in Toronto! We had an incredible experience at Leela Indian Food Bar. A massive shoutout to Dee and Akhil—they truly made our night. Their service was warm, attentive, and they made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in.
The Charcoal Butter Chicken is a game-changer (the smoky flavor is unreal), and the Lasooni Cauliflower is a must-try. Everything from the cocktails to the garlic naan was 10/10. If you’re looking for authentic flavors and top-tier service, this is the spot!

First, the place is really cute. Love the decor it’s a very modern and seems to be a little Barbie inspired and the music was also a vibe! The servers were also quite nice. One server in particular was so polite he even got the owner and introduced him to us. The place was recommended by a family member who said the wait was worth it.
The food was delicious. The only issue I had was the WAIT TIME. We had the kofta and Saffron chicken and that chicken was so tender, it was almost giving shredded chicken. All the spices they had incorporated into the meal made it delicious. And the naan bread was like a 10/10. I would definitely go back. I just hope that it’s not so busy and the wait times for our food isn’t so long.

We had a great dinner at Leela’s Indian Food in Toronto. Viraj was our server and he did an excellent job, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The dishes were incredibly flavourful, beautifully balanced, and perfectly spiced in that way that feels crafted rather than heavy-handed. The whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish.
The atmosphere is unmistakably pink…almost like stepping into a celebration mid-heartbeat…but it works. Festive, lively, and fun. We’ll definitely be back.

The food here is consistently flavourful! Personally I find the dishes pricy and spicy, but they are always filled to the brim. I’ve never eaten there in person, just take-out. Everything is packaged well and it arrives hot. Some dishes I recommend: Aloo Gobhi, tadka daal, channa masala, and chicken tikka masala.

We ordered thier signature Califlower starter & tandoori malai chaap and for main course and we opted for the butter naan & panner tikka gravy .
Tandoori Chaap was the star of the show for us , it was creamy & little onion they used for presentation was complimenting the dish as well . Loved it .
Califlower starter was bit too sweet for us , I guess we Perfer it spicy ..should have mentioned to chef before hand
Overall , We enjoyed the potion size and presentation. Food was good as well .
I would expect to see more innovation in the menu next time .
