Utsav Restaurant

The best Indian restaurant I have ever eaten at! The staff were lovely. The dishes were delicious and the environment very calm and pleasant. I highly recommended!

I got the butter chicken for take out and it’s literally just butter chicken - there’s no rice or naan that comes with it. For $20, I expected something else. Also, they didn’t provide napkins or cutlery in the bag. However, their service when I arrived was very kind and I’m sure it’s a beautiful place to dine.

The server was super nice, amazing service. The food was great too, really liked the butter naan. Worth a visit.

I felt compelled to write a review because the food at this place was truly terrible. I got takeout from here because it was the closest Indian place to my hotel with decent reviews. I was really looking forward to the food after a long day. Specially the lachha paratha. I was sadly extremely disappointed. I had gotten the chicken Kashmiri korma, dal makhni, butter naan and lachha paratha. The quantities were more than generous and the food was hot. But the good part ends there. All of it completely lacked flavor. I do not understand how they managed to make the dal super spicy and completely flavorless at the same time. The chicken was just ok, kind of sweet but also completely lacking flavor. The most disappointing were the breads. The butter naan was rubbery. They had either oversized the dough or kept it frozen or both. But the worst thing was the paratha. I don’t think whoever runs this restaurant knows what a lachha paratha is. They took that same rubbery naan and fried it with some spices to call it lachha paratha. No layers, no flakiness, not even the right kind of dough. The prices at this place are not cheap. To serve such atrocities in the name of Indian food is a shame. I have a hard time wasting food. So, I put the generous amounts of leftovers in the fridge but I don’t think I can bring myself to eat this again. It was that bad.

Great food and service. Enjoyed vegetarian thali. It had Good amount of quantity. Appetizers were delicious too. Highly recommend coming to this restaurant.

We ate at this restaurant on my birthday on July 1 and had a great time. The service is A+. The food is A+. Everything = A+. It's a cozy, quiet restaurant, which I loved. The two ladies who served us were so nice and attentive. And the food? AMAZING! I loved everything I ate. The chicken curry was superb. The lamb biryani was fantastic. And the shrimp-something (cajun dry-rubbed shrimp or something) was impeccable. The shrimps/prawns were so big and tasty. You really get your money's worth eating here. And then there's the naan bread, which is just - omg - the best naan bread I've ever had in my life. It was soft and had a nice texture. Most store-bought naan breads become hard minutes after microwaving them but these naan breads retained their hotness and texture throughout our meal. As someone who does not like salty food, I also appreciate that you did not load the food with salt. The two or three times I tried Indian food (mostly from mall food-courts) I couldn't eat them b/c I found them, especially the meats, too salty, but that's not the case with this restaurant, so thank you for not loading your food with a gallon of salt. The chefs cooking the food are doing an excellent job. Honestly, this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. I don't have any negative thing to say about this place because there's none. If you're looking for delicious, perfectly-cooked and fresh Indian food, and a quiet, cozy atmosphere to eat, this is it. When next I'm in Toronto, this is the only restaurant I'll eat at.

The experience exceeded our expectations. The service was sincere and outstanding. The food was exceptional, and after finishing our meal, full to the gills I still wanted more. The service pace was perfect. I feel now that Ive found my go-to place for Indian food. Highly reccommended.

I had their Paneer Makhani and Garlic Naan on the 9th of April. It was a pickup order and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. The garlic Naan was amazing but the Paneer Makhni was so sweet. I have had food at other fine dining Indian restaurants which usually tends to cater to the local crowd and even by their standards I found the curry to be very sweet. Hope it was just an off day in the kitchen.

My partner and I went last night for the first time. Food and Service were both excellent. Very good prices and portions! We will 100% be coming back.

Small Indian restaurant at nice location in the uptown area of Toronto! Reasonable price with excellent service and presentation.

Utsav is a small cozy restaurant in the heart of Yorkville. The service is excellent and the food is incredible. Would highly recommend the saag paneer with garlic naan!

Felt the person at cashier named Suresh, is very humble, down to earth and soft-spoken manager, very warm welcoming to guests when approached. He is gentle and very welcoming gesture to approach and treat people, particularly if you are looking to dinner with your family but not sure about hosts in dt, you can visit the place without hesitance to get warm welcome.

We’ve been loving the food and service from utsav for well over 6 years! This is our go to place when we crave Indian food. Their dishes are packed with spices (for taste) and flavors. It’s very authentic and they have been consistant with their quality over the years. If you order from them, it’s best to pick up or use their own delivery service. You get an extra little treat of papadum with mango chutney delicious!

Went for a group lunch. The food was good, but the portions were a bit small and the service was a bit scattered
