Indian Crown

I wish I could give Indian Crown 6 stars.I have visited this little spot many times in the past 4 years, and I’m so glad they survived the pandemic.The brothers running the place are timid and friendly; they never messed up any of my order and I’ve never had any food safety issue as well. They are so kind to accommodate my millennial whininess for modifying the ingredients for various reasons.They are one of the only restaurants that don’t jack up the price on delivery platforms to make up for the 30% commission charged by Uber, so please help them by calling in directly instead of placing Uber orders.Speed: very fast.Taste: fresh, hot, and delicious. I particularly like how they are not overly salty or oily. You won’t have an uncomfortable stomach after having their dishes.Price: extremely reasonable.Highlight: their naans are the best even compared to the fine dining places. They make it fresh with a clay oven. Many Indian restaurants these days buy Costco Naan and reheat them instead.The only reservation I have: I’m not an Indian person grew up with home cooked Indian food. So I cannot say whether it’s authentic. It just tastes good to me in general, maybe it’s a modified version for everybody.Don’t overlook this tiny place, it doesn’t look glamorous but certainly won’t disappoint!

Tried this place today. This area has just 2 Indian restaurants and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness at this store.The prices are very reasonable and the food is made fresh to order. We had to wait 10 mins for our meal but we were really happy with the quality. Honestly it felt a little like home cooked food.The best part was the naan was fresh out of a tandoor over and not like the factory processed one which most stores keep.

We have taken out and ordered through Uber.We usually get the daily 9.99 special which used to include a roll. Their portions are generous and they make fresh naan on the spot! When we order through Uber, they still give large portions! I love their butter chicken and their naan. Yummy!

Great prices. I’m vegan and they had lots of options for me. I was able to get a meal with three different curries, rice, a spring roll, and a freshly baked naan for 10 dollars. The owners were very nice and filled my friend and I’d plates to the brim. They were very sweet and the food was good. My friend got the chicken biryani and that’s the food in the picture.

Their chicken curry is very good. And also the vegetarian food here is delicious, do try it.

We don’t live in the neighborhood but we come here for them because their Biryani taste pretty decent to us. Staff is nice and friendly. Portion is good for the price. Will always drop by when we want to have Biryani.

I usually do not have high expectations from outlets located in a food court but this was a surprise. The food was prepared fresh to order (including the Indian breads) and the menu pricing is reasonable. Also, the credit card machine did not prompt to add a tip (which was a first for me in Canada)!

Was suspicious as it was cheap - but boy am I ever glad I tried this place! Butter chicken and Pakoras are the best I have ever had. Must try if you like Indian!

Just tried the lunch special today $7.99.The staffs are very nice and patient to explain how it words and the fools they have. We ordered the curry beef, curry chicken; we didn’t take their veggies this time. The staff strongly recommended their butter chicken but my friend wanted some curry curry today, the staff end up still out a little bit of the butter chicken sauce on the rice. We found out that the butter chicken is actually the best out of the 3 kind meat curry, thanks for giving us the sampler to try out. The naan is very chewy and freshly made.

Small lunch spot with communal seating and limited menu, but good portions and flavour. This might not be a place for the purist but Yonge & Sheppard has been devoid of some consistent Indian food for a while and this fills the gap with reasonably priced options. The menu is not large, but you should expect this from what is essentially a whole in the wall. The lunch specials are the best value with a main curry, side curry, rice and bread for under $10. While the butter chicken wouldn't win any awards, it is still a great option and consistently good tasting.
