Elm Desi meats - Elmvale, Ontario

We were there a month ago. 2 adults and 2 fussy kids. I was craving good Indian food while at the cottage and was not let down.

I read alot of reviews before and I think some are older. Bc they seem to have made changes in response. I ordered the shrimp which didn't get a good review for the small shrimp. These were plump and plentiful. The butter chicken is our kids favourite and not only did it stand up to their favourite indian restaurant in Toronto but they got a chuckle about the description in the menu. We ordered the dinner for 4 and it was a good sized meal for 4 people. Maybe for 4 hungry adults, you may need to add an additional appetizer.

The naan was on the chewy side which was super warm and tasty. Just a different style from the fluffy style you may see in others.

The gulab jamun that comes w the set meal was amazing.

My only down side was the atmosphere. I'm allergic to perfume and there was a VERY VERY VERY strong mens cologne wafting through the ventilation. It was either the cook or they were trying to cover the food smell. Which I don't think they should do. I want to smell the goodness as soon as I walk in. It smelled sterile except for the cologne. I had to hold mu napkin over my nose until our food arrived. It was very spacey w very few tables. So it felt cavernous and not welcoming. I would maybe carry out next time. And I will be back.

The service was great. The owner who served us was attentive without hovering.

Delicious authentic Indian food in downtown Elmvale. Friendly service, and great selection with good descriptions of each dish contained in the menu. Reasonably priced, with online ordering for pickup available. No fancy decor, but homey and comfortable. ?

Absolutely to die for!

The food here was so flavorful, and the portion size for the price was out of this world. The place was peaceful and was so serene.

Highly recommend getting the naan as a side to any of the curry dishes as it makes a great accompaniment to the masterful flavor profiles.

Went today with a friend. The appetizers were phenomenal. My friend had butter chicken and I order a coconut curry chicken. Everything was good and not overly pricey.

The worst Indian food I have ever had. The butter chicken is very very very sweet. Inedible. Also the pieces of chicken are just massacred tiny bits thrown into this honey sweet sauce. The paneer Tikka Masala is a 2/10. Butter nan is flat, undercooked, and tastes like flower.
The samosa is good.
I’m incredibly disappointed. How the food could be this level of bad is beyond me. How they have a good score on reviews can only be explained by them somehow getting rid of bad reviews. The food is that bad. Do not waste your money here.

My girlfriend and I stopped in for dinner today while passing through Elmvale. We both had amazing meals. The portions were perfectly sized and the food was delicious. In the photo is the butter chicken dish with a garlic naan on the side. We will 100% be coming back again.

Received burned chicken on a takout order. Another time, I submitted an online order …they took the order even though the place was closed. Had to phone a manager the next business day to get a refund. Not the worst flavour but underwhelming and feels very generic. Some stuff like samosas likely not made in house.

Really Delish authentic Indian meals
Butter chicken is a little sweeter than i’m used to but I still loved the dish! Rice and chick pea masala to die for.
