Moti Mahal
12 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/askTO, r/FoodToronto, r/Scarborough15 comments cited below
What people say, in short
People recommend Moti Mahal, and one commenter places it in Little India. Some point to the butter chicken, and one says the bone-in version is the better pick because tandoor cooking adds a smoky edge. One recommends the chole bhature, one the paneer kathi roll and one a plate combining many items; one calls it the closest match to Delhi food. Caveats: one says it used to be good, and one compares it to a fast-food chain for thalis.

Finds it strange people aren't recommending Motimahal, suggesting they think it's good.
- Recommendsu/mtech101 in r/askTO · Jun 2024taste
Rates the bone-in version highly; tandoor cooking adds smoky depth, while boneless is less distinctive.

Compares Motimahal to a fast-food chain for thalis, adding that the remark is not fully negative.
