Unbelievably good food, probably the best prepared Indian food I have ever had. Chili Chicken Momos were absolutely unreal as well. I asked for no Onions in my dishes and they had no problem accommodating. 5 Stars across the board.

We ordered tandoori chicken tikka & chicken biryani! The quantity was good enough for 2 people. We really enjoyed our food. It was 11:00 PM & the only Indian restuarant open at that time. Service was great too!

Great bang for your buck! Delicious food. 50% off drinks for happy hour. Spent $40/person and we ordered a feast. Naan could be less flat and more doughy but all food tasted great! Lots of TVs so we got to watch hockey game too.

My brother and I went here last night for the first time. We got there right at 5pm, when the buffet started. We had a Groupon for $20 each, plus Grouopn had an extra $8 off, so $16 per person. There is free angle parking outside, which is great. The ambiance, tables, and decor are all new and look very welcoming,vwith 75 inch tvs playing sports in mute in the background. We were seated right away and our server was very pleasant and attentive without hovering. The selection was excellent, the quality of the food and taste was also excellent with lots of flavourful spices. The temperature of the food was nice and hot. They don't overstock the buffet dishes to ensure food items don't sit and get stale. There were several vegetarian dishes, butter chicken with breast meat with a deeply red tomato sauce. The goat curry was so tender. The potato salad really memorable, as was the hot noodle dish. The rice pudding and Mango custard paired very well together, and the gulab jamun tender and decadent. They have great drink specials as well. Overall it's incredible value and a truly quality experience. Ultimately, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and will be back again and again!

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at a Nepali restaurant, Y-not Indian Kitchen and Bar, today. The ambience of the restaurant was nothing short of spectacular, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately set the tone for a delightful evening. What I appreciated the most was how fresh and clean the restaurant felt. Unlike many other Indian restaurants, there was absolutely no overpowering smell as we walked in, which made the experience even more pleasant and relaxing. The food was simply outstanding—delicious, extremely fresh, and perfectly spiced. It’s clear that great attention is paid to the quality and preparation of each dish. Being a new restaurant, everything from the seating arrangements to the tableware felt modern and attractive, adding to the overall charm. Overall, Y not Indian offers a fantastic dining experience. Whether you’re craving authentic Nepalese/Indian cuisine or simply looking for a great evening out, this restaurant is worth visiting!
