Indian Hero

Fantastic food and great service. These guys make great food! I am coming back! Give these folks a chance to impress you and you will be coming back again.

alright so this is clearly a family run joint which is why we felt bad and stayed and why i also feel kind of bad writing this but … at the end of the day its about customer experience as well as food so .here we go. i found this place on Unilocal and based on the good reviews i convinced my bf to come here (he wanted to go somewhere else that he already knew was good). i should have listened. I HATE WHEN HES RIGHT.
K ANYWAYS we called ahead to make sure a table was available. we walk in on friday night., there 2 little kids running around. 2 tables full of dirty dishes. one couple sitting and eating and one guy waiting for his take out. after about 5 min of awkwardly waiting for someone to come out. when the lady did come out she told us to sit at a table that had her kids snow boats/​games thrown in front of it. this kind of unacceptable in my books, its a friday night and if you want business you should be making sure the front of your restaurant is clean even if your kids are running around.
the food. we got fish pakoras which were way too greasy because they fried it in oil that wasnt hot enough. i like the taste it was just way too greasy
butter chicken i really liked, naan was good, goat biryani was also good.
i wont be back because although the food was okay the first experience of the restaurant was terrible.

It’s the first time we decided to try Indian food for Delivery.
Food was delivered hot, right down to the garlic naan.
My boyfriend is not one for spicy food, where as I can generally take a little heat. Though flavorful it was more spiciness than I expected, my boyfriend however loved it. We were complete opposites on this, but both agreed on what mattered… the dishes were overall delicious.
1) We had the Boneless Butter Chicken. Very nice — ⁵⁄₅ for $ 22.00 (large), did not come with any sides. It was. rich, creamy and flavourful. *FAVE*
2) Lamb Vindaloo — 3.5÷5 (Not a fan of bones or the spicy level) for $ 18, did not come with any sides.
3) The Chicken Tikka Masala Signature — 2/​5, came with naan, salad and basmati rice for $ 17. Great deal but dry.
4) Yogurt for $ 2 was a nice saviour for the lamb Vindaloo and served to counter the spiciness nicely. — ⁵⁄₅
5) Paratha for $ 2 each was sadly a disappointment, as I had a very West Indian (Caribbean) ideal of what it should be and the brown flat bread with black spots confused me, still was not bad, but certainly not stellar. — ³⁄₅
6) Garlic Naan was $ 2 each, but lacked garlic flavour, not bad… but certainly not great. ²⁄₅
7) Delivery had to be over $ 75 which is pretty easy to do considering the curry dishes don’t come with rice or naan, which was a bit of a let down. ⁴⁄₅
8) Person on the phone was pleasant and willing to work with our ‘spiciness’ fears, very professional and very pleasant. ⁵⁄₅ for service.
9) Willing to deliver, which added to their rating.
Overall the experience warranted ⁴⁄₅ stars.

Great authentic Indian food! They personalize the food level really well. Haven’t had proper Indian food in a long while, my friend and I order an «Indian spicy» dish, and it was very well spiced to our Indian taste.
Highly recommended for Indians looking to get authentic Indian spiced food!

Upgraded to 5 stars, from 3.5 stars. My last visit was with my big-​little Nephew and we ate in. The food was amazing. We upgraded our spice level to «Indian» level, which is a couple down from «Indian Hero» level. Man what a meal. Had the Chicken Tikka Masala with some rice and nan bread. Very good!
Indian food all home cooked meals and super tasty rich spices. Was looking for a new Indian place to eat, which a was good and affordable, and I found it with Indian Hero. They have a full takeout menu full of wonderful curries and traditional Indian dished. The food is fresh and the taste spectacular. Call ahead and have everything ready for you when you pick up. If you eat in the restaurant is small, BUT THE FOOD! WOW I want to try the vindeloo next.

One of the better Indian Restaurant even in Brampton! Freshly prepared dishes and tons of flavour. Tried the butter chicken with naan and Lamb chops. Wow! Was the lamb chops ever a delight! Definitely would recommend it!

The food was extremely tasty. I have tried about 4 dishes from them. The portions sizes are A LOT. He prices are a little high but considering that I had leftovers for two more meals. I would definitely recommend this place and it’s Halal!

I have become a regular at this restaurant as their quality is just beyond anything else I have experienced in Indian cuisine in Brampton, and even the GTA as a whole. The menu is rich in variety with staple classics like butter chicken, but does not shy away from more challenging dishes — all served at your choice of spike level. All dishes are prepared on order — nothing is sitting with heating lamps over it for hours at a time. The food is wholesome, nutritious and the flavours feed the body as well as the soul. The staff are extremely friendly and it is all very much worth the wait. My family and I attend there for dinner at least every couple of weeks, and it has always been consistent for quality and flavour. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to find a new Indian restaurant favourite.

Awesome staff, great food. Served in a decent amount of time. Owner is extremely friendly. I will most definitely be back.

We ordered a couple of dishes for takeout. The chicken karahi was not good… it felt like it had too much masala. It was overly spicy even though we asked for it to be mild. There was no way our kids could eat it. The karahi paneer was just slightly better but also way too spicy.
The service at the counter was good though, I would not eat here again, considering there are so many great Indian restaurants in the Brampton area.

***Review is based on a lunch takeout order***
Order placed via: Telephone
Order:
Chicken Vindaloo
Tandoori Chicken
Butter Chicken
Palak Paneer
Chapli Chicken Kabob
Wait time: told wait would be 45 minutes, true wait time was about an hour — I guess we ordered in the midst of the lunch rush
The chicken vindaloo was easily the best dish, nice and spicy and flavourful as it should be. The other dishes were also solid, making Indian Hero a good takeout spot. I’d recommend avoiding the rush hour though, unless you’re well aware and are able to order in advance. 1 hour wait is just way too long.

Came here for lunch a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed myself. The butter chicken we had was nice and light and not too heavy and out came some very fluffy but crispy Nan’s. We also had the lamb chops which were delicious not overly fatty but flavorful. Since it was my first time in the area the parking is quite limited but it is worth the effort and I want to come again to try different things on the menu

Freshly made curries and naan not a bad spot for takeout. I would not eat in as there is an odd plastic, burnt butter smell that is quite bad.
Meat in the curries is top quality as are the spices. Oloo gobie (sp?) was good but under seasoned. Chicken tikka masala was great buy too rich and heavy. Asked for super spicy and they delivered with robust heat and flavor. With a little tweaking this could definitely he a hero.

Food tasted really bad! I ordered the Tandoori chicken with Afghani rice. The rice tasted horrible. they had a weird taste to it. Chicken wasn’t so bad. so I just ate the chicken and left the rice. Portions were small. My friend ordered a curry and some naan… The curry tasted good. However, Some of the stuff from the menu wasn’t available.
The waiter had really dirty hands and fingernails which grossed me out. Also his uniform was visibly dirty.
To me appearance of the staff matters and it reflects the quality of the food and service!

I have visited Indian hero multiple times since my first review! And they are still one of the most amazing family run businesses I have ever been too… I read the past review that gave them a 1 star, I’m not sure how that is justified, they don’t serve frozen rice they have rice that tastes incredible because they cook it different… AMAZING! Again by far the most delicious butter chicken I have ever had… because I am Indian and get Indian food at home regularly I never crave Indian Food, until of course I tasted Indian Hero… if you want delicious fresh hand prepared food this really truly is the best Indian food you will find in the GTA. I order Indian hero every time I have family visiting me and they love it! It’s not fast food so don’t expect to receive it quickly it’s worth the wait… call in advance and they will have it ready for you… FRESH FRESH FRESH!
Last thing I want to mention is the staff takes time to get to know me on a personal level, they remember my name and always put extra attention when making my meal.
Keep up the great work!

We ordered the butter chicken, a vindaloo and a couple of vegetarian dishes (paneer & eggplant). On all counts, the flavor was great. The butter chicken is of the more sweet & creamy style. The vindaloo was great and had a proper vindaloo taste; all to often they aren’t distinctive and it was. Word of warning to those like my wife: The lamb is on-​tho bone and it’s therefore a bit fattier with a bit of gristle. Personally, I really like this because it tastes great, but my wife hates it. The Karahi Paneer is delicious.
The folks here are really nice and helpful, as mentioned in the other reviews. So why only 3 stars? I rarely take issue with price /​portion, but I think that there is a bit of an issue here so I’m dinging them one star. They do take out in 3 sizes. In a large take out butter chicken ($ 22) there was at best one breast of meat. Between the four of us we had 3 – 4 cubes of chicken each. The rest was lots of gravy (though the container was only about half full). The Vindaloo ($ 18) was a medium and perhaps a better situation, depending on your thoughts vis-​a-​vis bone-​in lower cost cuts of meat. A take out dinner for a family of 4 (two adults two kids) was $ 80. Perhaps the issue is with the large size container.
Would I return? Maybe, after I try some other spots and judge whether the quality is worth the price in comparison to the competition. I’ll just avoid the large size next time.

Great food but expect to wait a while. Though good indian food always takes a long time.

I loved the butter chicken, and the lamb briyani. Reason for the 4 stars is because of the dessert galab Jamon. it was horrible. And it’s one of my favorite desserts, but I will be returning for the food. Must try! Great Customer Service! The Tandoori chicken is a Must try and the butter chicken once again. it’s Addicting! Trust me. I know good food and this place has it. Made fresh Everytime, I think those complaining, honestly has to be for the long wait. Definitely Not the food! Highly recommend.

Best butter chicken hands down.
We went for dinner last night and ordered butter chicken, chicken tikka wrap, seekh kabab wrap, lamb biryani and lamb spinach. The wraps are really good too. I preferred the seekh kabab wrap but the Mrs preferred the chicken wrap. The wraps are huge and very filling.
The biryani was OK. The chef has his own style which differs from what I am used to. Lamb spinach was also OK. I think I was more concerned about getting back to finishing the butter chicken instead of trying to enjoy them.
Restaurant itself is clean and cozy and staff is very friendly. The cook is very knowledgeable and very passionate about their food. Everything is cooked to order and based on your preference on spice.
I will definitely be returning to try the meat vindaloo and butter chicken next time I have a craving for Indian food.

Great place for Indian food in an area full of spots for this type of cuisine…
Standouts: lovely location and cozy eat-​in area — clean and bright, very comfortable!
Everyone that works here is incredibly friendly and will help you choose a dish that you’re sure to enjoy if you are not too familiar with Indian food (which I am not!).
We usually order the channa masala and naan bread (which is made fresh) and it’s a great treat.
Need to try the butter chicken after reading these other reviews!
