Chandni Chowk Restaurant

Tried this place for the first time when they were set up outside during a festival. The chicken tikka is amazing!!! Saw them cook it right in front of us and went back the next week for more. Everything was delicious– defiantly a place to hit up in the bazaar. Good prices too!

By far the best Mutton Biryani I’ve had in toronto

Great place. Very simple but clean.
Good moderately priced.
$ 4.25 for a kabob might seem a lot but it’s a foot long. So the price reflects the size and taste of the meal.
Enough food to fill you in but not overload.

It’s amazing how much nostalgia a foot long can spark in someone.
My family used to frequent here when I was a kid and continue to do so. I have a fond attachment to the place. My favourite part was watching the naan come out fresh from the tandoor.
The long beef kebab is deliciously flavourful, but isn’t spicy, which makes it great for kids. It comes with warm, soft naan and a bit of salad. You also get sauces on the side. The red sauce is amazing. It’s got a sweet but tangy kick to it and I dip everything on my plate in it!
Their vegetarian dishes at the counter are good, but not my favourite.
It isn’t luxurious by any means but it’s affordable and good for big families.

Great Naans! Biryani and chicken tikka also great. Took it to go… was pleased :-)

This place is ugly, service depends on who’s there and the food is great! If you don’t mind sitting on bright green chairs and promise yourself not to take a trip down to the stinky bathroom then you’re good to go. The foot long is delicious. I’m craving it right now! The tandoori chicken (without bone) is to die for. The karahi gosht has that lamb smell that is not tolerable for me but you might like it. I try not to associate my food with animals as much as I can but sometimes the smell reminds me and I wanna barf.
You really get the most for your money here!
I will keep coming back here to try other items.

I always frequented Lahore Tikka when i went to gerrard. However i find that they became over-​priced for little portions. Chandni Chowk is the opposite. They even managed to get a bigger space and expand. Definitely worth the value for qualityy

Excellent food. I love the foot long kabab and always go there for it and chicken tikka with naan. Naan is fresh and tasty u cant stop eating.

Came here with my family on Eid ul Fitr for dinner. I know, bad idea considering Eid on Gerrard, but we were desperate and hungry. This seemed to be the only place that had enough seats for my family of 5 people.
The line was super long, but it was Eid, so I don’t blame anyone. My family and I had our orders ready, and when we ordered, the man at the cash register informed us that there was no chicken in their kitchen. This was a real bummer considering my whole family basically wanted some kind of chicken (chicken breast, chicken tikka etc). So quickly, noting the line behind us, we ordered beef «footlong» kebabs instead. My brother ordered the mutton chops. In about three minutes, our orders of kebabs arrived with naan, some chutney, and some basic salad (few pieces of torn lettuce and chunks of onions). The man at the front informed us that the mutton chops would take another 10 minutes.
The naan and kebabs were cold once we put them in our mouths. We were so hopeless at this point, however, because we had no choice but to eat it to feed our stomachs!
Later, the mutton chops arrived, and it was also accompanied with naan. Both of these items were beyond fresh, which left the rest of my family somewhat upset.
After we finished our food, we were able to get our free kulfis that are offered after you pay the bill. Kulfis were the best part of the evening.
On our way out, there seemed to be some commotion, and we discovered that there was vomit on the floor. There was only one waiter that night, and he was clearly overwhelmed from all the Eid customers. I couldn’t help but feel bad for him upon seeing his face when he was told to clean the vomit.
One star for this place that shouldn’t really exist. Bad décor, bad service, and bad food. Will definitely never return here again. Maybe my expectations are too high?

Wow Chandni Chowk was one of my faves when I was a kid as my Grandparents lived in the area. However, years have gone by and both have since passed on, so I frequent Gerrard St. less often as before. It doesn’t change the fact that these guys have some of the best tasting kababs and tikka in the city and the aromatic smells hit you in the face on the way in.
Prices have risen over the years to reflect the local competition and inflated operational costs, but given the fresh and quality foods being served I don’t mind that much. Portion sizes have remained the same, which also speaks volumes about their willingness to provide consistency. The seating area is a little beat up, and I would recommend against sitting close to the tandoors (large cylindrical clay ovens) because it gets really hot. Other than that, I’ve been twice recently and it’s always such a treat that brings back good memories.
Recommendations:
–Chicken Tikka w/​Naan
–Foot Long Kabab

Nice papri chaat & kulfi but very lame gol gappe (pani purre) …
