We popped in here for lunch on a cold day after reading some of the reviews, and we are glad we did. Even though the restaurant is in the mall food court, it’s comfortable inside, with large, private booths. We ordered at the counter with a very nice gentleman who was careful to make sure we understood the menu. The samosa were some of the best I’ve ever had, and the lentils and the chicken were also outstanding. The price is reasonable for what you get. Oh, and the naan! It’s soooo good. Their lunch specials are a great deal, as well. All in all, we were extremely pleased with our meal and will be back soon!

Hey everyone, if you are reading my review, that means you have already seen other great reviews as well, but I would like to add on all of them not by only saying that this is one of the most amazing place with Best and delicious food but also, it’s worth every penny of your money. I tried their Amristari Kulcha and it taste exactly like what I used to enjoy back home. Also, I love the customer service the way the owner greeted us and keep checking on us every time if we needed anything and paid attention to us was a lovely experience for me. I would highly suggest anyone who is planning to try some good Indian food options to visit them. They have multiple amazing food options that you you’re gonna love it. I am definitely planning to go there soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Makhani is one of a dozen new-ish Indian restaurants to grace our fair city. Some are good, some bad, many different. Makhani, as I recall, once housed a Thai spot in Sunnyside Mall, and the decor is definitely more Bangkok than Bombay—but that’s where the similarities end.
With its own entrance to the parking lot, it offers plenty of banquet seating suitable for parties of four. I dined there for lunch on a Monday, and it was particularly sparse, save for the property developers to my left who eagerly debated the merits of razing the former Sunnyside across the street, long shuttered after the floods of 2022.
The lunch menu is limited to four choices, though full menu options are available. Butter chicken, chana masala, dahl makhani, and a butter chicken bowl with salad range from $8.99 to $12.99.
Counter service was as warm as the tandoor oven that surrounded the chef, who dutifully tended to the naan—not often found in shopping mall food courts, let alone many standalone Indian establishments. Nothing is more disappointing when ordering Indian than seeing that sad Costco flatbread arrive at your table, an unwanted dinner guest and an even more unwanted accompaniment to your meal.
I’ve always been a fan of dahl makhani. I’ve had some good ones and even more bad ones. Looking at this recipe on paper, it may seem utterly simple, but the simplicity ends there. The name translates to “buttery lentil,” and the dish they serve is truly in line with the brief. Makhani makes theirs with black lentils, though I’ve had it with red kidney beans and prefer the latter. Traditionally served at special occasions, a Monday at the mall while meeting with my boy’s orthodontist tends to be a far more expensive experience.
Slow-cooked, the starches were clearly released over a long simmer—the luscious creaminess emerging like a butterfly from a cocoon. Topped with ghee, every bite was a party I gladly accepted an invitation to. The cumin, ginger, and garam masala were clearly high quality and added complex layers to the dish. The serving is small, but the quality eclipses the portion size, though it’s not long before you’re left wanting more.
The pleasure doesn’t end there, however, as the naan had been teasing the air with its aroma. The naan was ethereal—pillowy char mountains from the heat of the tandoor rising like the sun on an early spring morning. Each piece tore delightfully as it dove into the pool of its next-door neighbor; both now realized they had more in common than they ever thought and were always destined to be best friends. Bathed in ghee, one must forget that this is an experience seldom found in shopping malls, let alone the kitchens of Delhi.
Though inspired by traditional lentil dishes, the modern version is credited to Kundan Lal Gujral, founder of the Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi, in the mid-20th century. He also reportedly invented butter chicken. For $17 with a Diet Coke, it seems like a crime—but one I’d gladly go to jail for.

We are from Quebec City and have been vacationing in Nova Scotia for just over a week. Craving an authentic Indian meal, we did some research and chose this restaurant. Honestly, it was well worth the detour. The staff were exceptionally kind and courteous, and the restaurant was impeccably clean with a warm and inviting atmosphere. We opted for takeout, and placing the order by phone was straightforward and efficient. On the way back, it was almost torture to resist the enticing aromas of the dishes we had selected filling the car. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of our meal. We highly recommend this restaurant, and if we find ourselves in the area again, we would be delighted to return and explore more of their wonderful offerings.
