Food Time

In terms of authentic Indian food, if you are not Indian this will be the most authentic you will have ever had and full of natural spices and flavours — may be a little spicy for many. If you’re Indian then this is still regarded as one of the best places in Durham to go to.
We had seekh kebabs (beef and chicken), chicken korma, chicken biryani, mixed daal, and naans.
The pricing is pretty good at $ 36 for all of the above and naan is included at no extra cost.
Downside is that they include whole spices both in the rice and in their kebabs so you will be taking a bite and crunch into a big peppercorn or clove etc — you have to be on your toes!
Other thing is even when you call ahead with take out they can be really delayed — we were told 40 min but had to wait another 20.

AMAZING FOOD!!! We ordered the BBQ Platter and it was heavenly! The serving is huge and the order comes with Salad, Biryani Rice and 4 large Naan. The most and the best, by far, Pakistani/​Indian dish we have tried!!! Great food, super friendly service and value-​for-​money meal! Will highly recommend to family and friends!

What can I say — still as good as ever. Just had the Thursday special the chicken Kahari is phenomenal (off the charts) — the dish is deliciously spicy on the right level and Food Time have hit the dish on point with its spicy taste and usage of capsicum and other freshly ground spices (sure you wait for the food here… but that is because it’s FRESH)! They have hit this Pakistani and North Indian dish special to the max. We also had the the other Thursday special the Lamb Biryani (amazing as Food Time Lamb biryani meat and rice are cooked separately before being layered and cooked together and the taste of flavours meld maticiously). I have lived in Dubai and also the UK… and Food Time is better than all the places I tried in the Middle East (which is no small feat considering all the Indo-​Pak places there in Dubai)… it is consistent to my favourite Pakistani Curry house in UK …
Food Time you done it again — you are the best

Customer service is awful. Called to place an order and was asked to wait 2 mins which led to the person hanging up. Called right after and they didn’t answer. Called for a 3^rd time only to be asked to hold again for 5 mins. After 10 mins, they ask to call back in 3 hours instead of just taking the order and asked me to take the business elsewhere…
Food may be good but attitude needs some checking. Will not be going there.

The place is hiding in a plaza near Brock and Kingston road at Pickering. We were kinda late and planning to get some take out. We got Bihari Kebab and Lamb Karahi; each of these two items came with free nun and salad. The Kebab was a bit dried, but spicy and tasty. i wish it was a bit juicy. However, the Lamb Karahi was top notch. There were enough pieces of meat with nicely cooked curry. Loved it!
The service was good, the lady who took the order was nice and friendly. The price is reasonable. We actually had to wait quite long to get the food, but the best part was the foods were freshly cooked. I will definitely go back to this place.

Family special for 4 is my go to meal here with my family of 6. 4 adults and 2 kids. The food is enough. The taste is great. Biryani kebabs and Nihari. I’m not a big fan of chicken jalfrazi so I substitute that for an extra Nihari.
Good service And the food is just amazing.

Been going here for the last five year and I love it! Easily the best east indian food in toronto. The price is reasonable and the food is tasty. These guys take forever to get your food ready so call in advance. I spoke to the owner about the time and he told me since they make everything to order, it takes a long time. Makes sense to me… I would rather wait than eat something that’s been sitting in their fridge all week.
Butter chicken, chicken biryani, the fish are so good here. I ordered from here last week for a party of 25 at home and they did a awesome job getting the food ready on time and it was more than enough.
5 star!

Don’t go by the ambiance, food is awesome! Being a vegetarian, I was circumspect about having Veg Biryani, as I thought that I might be served fried rice. But this was the best VEG biryani I have had outside Hyderabad (India).

For the record: this restaurant’s name sucks. But don’t let that dissuade you too much.
They’re a relatively cheap, tasty place to grab some food when you’ve got a craving for Indian in Pickering. Their chicken biriyani is great (not overspiced, with a good amount of meat) and they have a great chana masala. I’ve tried a few and they usually make my stomach churn a few hours later, but Food Time’s was pretty good.
On the negatives: service is EXTREMELY slow. I did a walk-​in once and — OH MY GOD! — never again. I think it took about 30 minutes to actually get my food. I ended up sitting in my car in the parking lot because it took so long and I didn’t want to wait in the store and end up smelling too strongly of Indian food.
Always call ahead and place an order for pick-​up, if you can. I’ve never had sit-​down service at this place, so I can’t speak to that.
