Chowrasta Indian Cuisine - Markham Road, Scarborough

The WORST food I ever had in Canada.
Got my stomach upset and the taste of the food sucks to the core

The girl, Roja, is doing commendable job, taking care of everything and doind her job single handidly perfectly.

OMG Very bad experience.
I order plate Vada and it’s was the worst voda I ever received. It’s was like rock.

Indian cuisine without Indian taste in food. Biryani was awful. It should rather be called pulav.

Ordered cashew panner and cashew chicken for takeout. Panner is not cooked properly and pieces are very hard and coloured overly. Cashew chicken has fat flesh not taken care properly and taste was awful.

I love 70 cm dosa here. Amazing taste of dosa, sambhar, potato masala and both chutney
Biryani is awesome as well
I would highly recommend the food here.

Best South Indian food I have ever had! The taste was amazing, but could improve the wait time.

Our group ordered two chicken 65 biryanis from this place.all we can say is YUM, amazing flavors that leave us wanting more everytime

Just for one plate of medu vada and 1 dosa, we waited almost 40 mins. And we finished within 5 mins (didn't ate all dish), why? Because there is no taste, too much oily and sticky dosa.
Atmosphere is not good too. Just photos looks good, but once you enter restaurant there is some smell you don't want it.
We are vegetarian, so don't know about non veg options.

Today i tried the food first time from there.i never choose the place again and never recomend as well… the place smells really really bad. The food they serve also not meeting the expectations. One of us ordered uthappam it is simple rava dosa with roughly choped onions and the sides they serve also not yummy.

Hidden gem! I haven’t had South Indian food this good in Canada before. Was surprised a little by how empty the place was, soon this place is gonna have queues and hour long waits, it is so good. Excellent recommendations by Luvpreet, very kind and respectful staff overall.
Highly recommend Granite Chicken, mango rupture lassi, and Chilli naan!
Gonna make this place a regular for sure…

I loved the Ghee roast biryani along with andhara chicken, recommend to visit the place to taste authentic Indian food. But missing Mutton Dhum biryani, Hope to see the item soon on Menu!

Great, flavourful food and excellent service. We had masala dossa, granite chicken, ghee roast goat biryani, garlic naan and badam milk. Definitely going back to try more dishes.

I believe thier south indian food is better than north indian, I had ordered Paneer kadai where the gravy was a little watery and had more of ginger taste. The naan too was kind of under cooked.

Normally I do not post negative comments, but I wanted to know if this was one of a case?

I have ordered paneer butter masala, naan and mango lassi and they were really good. Fast service and authentic taste, will order again.

The service & food was very bad. We ordered the curry & after 20 minutes the server told us it was not available & even she didn’t apologize for that! Even, the chapatis were cold! Really bad experience and I never recommend it to anyone.

Had a very bad experience with low quality of food and the service was bad. All the tables were dirty with the used dishes like no one cleared them. We ordered butter chicken that was not cooked and was hard and the sauce felt like water, as it was so thin. We were 3 friends and the next day our stomach was upset. Never gonna suggest this place

I'm really sorry to post this review, the restaurant opened at 11: 30 am, I ordered @11: 38, thought they gonna prepare fresh biryani, but they gave me the previous night biryani for sure, there's no doubt in it, I can feel it when I opened the box. They clearly microwaved the food and packed it, even the taste was not upto the mark. The chicken 65 biryani is full of food color, and the kondaveedu is not tasteful. I'm really disappointed by this, it's the first time I'm trying here and it was very bad, I'll never visit again.

Thank you.

Highly recommend this delicious spot for some South-Indian goodness! Wait times are bit too much for me though .

I recently visited a Chowrasta that left me feeling extremely disappointed. While the restaurant had an appealing menu, the food left much to be desired. To my dismay, every dish that I ordered arrived at the table completely devoid of salt.
We ordered biryani, Naan and Pannery gravy.

Now, I understand that some people may need to limit their salt intake for health reasons, but this was not the case for me. As someone who loves flavorful food, the lack of salt in each dish was incredibly disappointing. Even the dishes that I had previously enjoyed at other restaurants fell flat without the addition of salt.

Upon requesting salt at the restaurant, the staff promptly provided us with a container that resembled the attached image. This led me to believe that we were not the first customers to have requested salt and that the restaurant's dishes were not seasoned to everyone's liking. It was apparent that most diners were compensating for the lack of salt by using the table salt provided at their table.

Less than one star! I order 2 different types of biryani and a chicken 65, Everything was so salty and the gravy is literally cold! Very bad customer service. After serving the food no one checked if we are ok or needed anything. Top of that You can see the paint cans and vacuum beside your dine-in table.

Pulao is one of my favorite dishes here! The spices and flavors make it so delicious. The portion size is generous and I get plenty for the price.
