Trimurti Indian Cuisine

I travel to Toronto quite often for business, and when I’m in the mood for moderately-​priced Indian food for lunch, this is my go-​to place. It can be quite crowded for lunch, so make sure you show up just at the right time — too early and the buffet isn’t quite ready yet. Too late and… well you know how buffets will go near closing time.
Is it really closed now? I haven’t been back to Toronto in a few months.

An average Indian restaurant.

Tried their delivery service today for dinner. Online ordering process was fast and efficient. Food arrived hot within one hour
Apart from the lack of spice despite asking that the food be prepared medium spiced — food was excellent. The Afghani chicken included nice juicy boneless pieces of chicken and the butter chicken was addictive.
–1 star for the lack of spice, and –1 star for forgetting to add coriander/​mint chutney with the tandoori dishes (I specially asked for it in the comments section so they wouldn’t forget). Overall good North Indian food — they just need to improve on the little things that do matter!
P. s. Lived in india for several years and travelled around the country so I’m very fussy when it comes to Indian food.

My friend recommended this place for lunch buffet, so I dropped by here for that! Before, the price was $ 11.95, now it is $ 12.95.
Food: Selection is very limited, There were a 4 different types of curry, samosas, fried fish, meat and chicken with spices, two different types of rice, and vegetables with spices. Overall, the food was dry, some tasted like they’ve been sitting there for a while.
There was a small selection of desserts– pieces of cake, fruits, Indian sweets. The cake was soft and yummy. However, the fruits tasted old.
Service: Mediocre. A young man brought me water, brought naan halfway through my meal (they were thin and flaky, so good!) then took away the finished plates towards the end of my meal.
The total came up to be around $ 15 (excluding tip).
I would not be back for lunch, but maybe I’ll give this place a try for dinner.

Didnt listen to the other reviews and went anyway.
Butter chicken was probably the least flavorful I’ve ever had. When it’s at the point where I personally think I could cook a better one, something is up.
Prices are too high. $ 4 for basmati rice???
From now on I trust Unilocalers 100%

I have read some reviews stated that ‘best naan in the town’. So I visited there. But the naan bread was not like the traditional north Indian one. Rest of the curries and rice are OK. Not ‘the best’. Can try one or two times.

We have ordered from Trimurti for 5 years. I still love their food but I won’t be ordering from them again.
They didn’t deliver my rice that I paid for this evening. When I called to let them know the manager refused to send someone with the rice and would only say he would comp rice on my next order. Unacceptable.

Starter– dry and cold. Forgot the condiments .
Main course-​We could not enjoy because we could not get passed starter. Still waiting for nearly two hours to get delivery. Appalling service. Don’t waste your money and time here.

Great lunch buffet. Well priced. Attentive service. Try the butter chicken that has more kick than usual

Lackluster lunch buffet and poor service make this one a skip for me. The ugly décor and tight spaces don’t help, either.

My girlfriend and I went to Trimurti after walking up and down queen street looking for something good to eat for lunch (we couldn’t decide so we settled on the closest Indian restaurant).
They were offering a 13 dollar lunch buffet. I am often skeptical about buffets however, the food was well made, fresh and authentic. They offered many different types of curry, butter chicken, nan, and other typical Indian dishes.
Overall the deliciousness of the food exceeded the 13 dollars for lunch. Very delicious and I would likely return.

I wish I couldn’t give this place no stars at all
We were about 8 – 10 people called the restaurant before we went to reserve it for dinner
Worst service
Didn’t offer the menus or anything to drink
Food came after 2hrs of placing the order & on top off that all the food was bought in installments & food had no flavor…
This place is all screwed up …

Skip this. Go to India Palace or Little India next door. Trimurti specializes in Bombay style cuisine i.e. orange butter chicken. And if you’ve ever read my reviews about Indian Restaurants, the real butter chicken is always more red (in color) and mildly sweeter — Delhi style!
A little bit about the restaurant:
The layout of this place is very similar to the ones on this strip. The manager/​owner did claim that everyone was copying Trimurti. He was a chatty one; the server, on the other hand, was the usual unsmiling Indian staff — as my boyfriend noted.
We ordered — and mind you, we aren’t creative — naan bread, white basmati rice and butter chicken. The rice and naan were fantastic. The butter chicken was mediocre. And spicy. It was better than most places, but trust the Indian chick who’s lived in Delhi (points at self) when she says there are better options 2 doors away from this place.
Verdict? Not coming back.

Great little place on queen street. The staff was attentive and the food was delish. If you are new or a veteran, you won’t be disappointed. As an American from south Florida, the chicken tikka masala is my favorite. Here in Toronto the closest thing would be the butter chicken, but it’s not quite as spicy. If you want them to bring the heat go with the lamb vindaloo.
We met great new friends at the table behind us. If you are in Florida and are looking for a place to live check out

I am finally reviewing Trimurti after eating there several times in the past year. I absolutely love their chicken biryani (yes, there is more to Indian food than butter chicken). They manage to get a lot of flavour in their dishes unlike some other Indian restaurants in the city. I have gone in for their lunch buffet a few times and the food has been finger licking delicious every time. I have also taken my coworkers, friends many times and they all seem to like it.
They have a really good buffet menu with a lot of meat/​seafood options… goat curry (hard to get in GTA), shrimp or fish curry, chicken tandoori and of course the butter chicken. They also have the biryani sometimes in the buffet. The desserts are also nice with mostly fresh fruits, Gulab Jamun, ice creams which most people seem to miss as they are located opposite to the buffet station. They have a few western desserts too.
The owner is quite friendly and the service is not bad. The place can get busy on weekends so be sure to call in for reservations. Try this place, you won’t be disappointed as this is the best Indian lunch buffet I could find in Toronto.

Best naan bread I’ve had in a very long time! And it was really cool to watch them making it in the ovens.
Having said that, the curries, whilst appetising on the menu, weren’t as great as Unilocal had made them out to be. My lamb korma was bland, and my rice didn’t come out until well after my curry — at which point I had filled up on curry and naan.
I’d be willing to give it another shot though, and it’s definitely worth it for the bread!

Consequently tired of strolling only on trivial basis along Queen Street, just so to keep up with the ‘cool kids’. (You guys walk really fast!)
Beyond the discernible vanity shops and all the tangible beauty, it’s quality also exists in a more prudent greeting. Trimurti Indian Cuisine allows a pause to sit down and rest. The décor is exceptionally average and does show restraint of any kitsh narration. We had the thali (which is not mention on the menu) and lamb in a lush curry sauce. The portions are suggestive of being minimal and sparsed, though we we’re not able to finish our plates. The servings are almost philanthropic!
One flaw: our waiter kept on spilling water when filling up our glasses.

These people have good authentic food. Not the fantastic «OMG, I just died’ variety, but solidly good. Their madras curry & butter chicken are delicious. Their lunch buffet was also good value for money.
I order often from here. We’ve never been disappointed, though I don’t necessarily like their kebabs and tandoori — on the dry side, even though it’s well flavoured. But curry, vegetables and roti — very good food.
It’s a simple place with basic décor and layout.

I was wandering down Queen Street looking for a place to eat on my first business trip to Toronto in many years. Gotta say that the City is looking good! World class! Great work for all involved. My compliments.
My stomach started to growl as I walked past Trimurti. Not knowing anything about the dining in downtown, but liking Indian cuisine, the impulse overcame me and I went in.
Good decision.
The place is narrow and deep, with well dressed tables on either wall, and the kitchen in the rear. A waiter led me to a deuce towards back, as the room was about a third full. The aromas had my salivarys off the hook with the combination of curry, tumeric and garlic. I ordered an Indian Beer and checked the menu. I was dining alone, and did not want too much left over to carry back to the hotel, so I went with Chicken Jalifrezi, Garlic Naan, Mango Lassi, and Basmati Rice.
As some others here have commented, everything was excellently presented and tasty. I love Mango Lassis and order them at every occasion. This one was very good, but not over generous in size. The Garlic Naan was wonderful, and I used every morsel of it to sop up the creamy delicious Jalifrezi Sauce. The chunks of chicken breast and thigh were tender and played so well in my mouth with the other ingredients.
Bottom line — I walked back to the hotel a sated (perhaps, over-​sated) and happy guy. I knew I would return to Trimurti again.
Why not 5 stars? The prices were higher than I am used to for good Indian food (although the exchange rate could have something to do with that), and the Lassi glass was too quickly empty.

Great food, great service.
I came here with a few of my friends and we ordered a bunch of stuff to share. At first, we thought that it wouldn’t be enough (4 dishes for 5 people, plus naan, paratha and rice) but it ended up being more than enough!
My favourite dish was the Baigan Ka Bharta
(Eggplant baked in Tandoor, smashed & sauteed with green peas, tomatoes & spices). It was just incredibly flavourful, with a nice texture, and went great with the rice, naan and paratha. I may have eaten half the dish… we also had:
Gosht Saag (Lamb/​beef cooked with spinach & fresh spices): great sauce, but the lamb was a little dry.
Subzi Do-​Piaza (Mixed vegetables, mushrooms, peas, cheese, cooked with onion sauce, garnished with tomatoes & spring onions): very good, but the mushrooms were kind of big.
Saag Paneer (Cottage cheese cooked in onion & spinach): My friends enjoyed it, said that the cheese was nice and crisp on the outside, soft on the inside.
The bread and rice were also really great.
I will definitely return and try their other dishes!
