Vijay's Restaurant - Kitchener

Very averageThe Shahjahani Chicken Biriyani was alrightThe rice was overcooked and not of good quality.

I haven't been to Vijay's in about 30 years, though it is very close to home So we thought we'd give it a try.

For years I thought I hated Indian food. I had no interest in picking between the green paste, the yellow paste, or the red paste. Years. And I was a chef. People would say "let's get Indian food!"I would inevitably veto the choice, substituting some other bland, crowd pleasing dining option. Tonight, my g/f said, "I've heard Vijay's is good. Now in know Indian isn't your favorite..."For whatever reason, I conceded. We ordered take out. I had no idea what we were getting. Now, I know the food we got isn't the pinnacle of those dishes. But it was more than enough for me to change my entire opinion of Indian food. I was blown away by both the quality and flavor of vijay's food.Thank you for showing me how wrong I was about this cuisine. We will be ordering again, and will surely be in for a visit soon.

I haven't been to India to try the original recipes but I am told that this is pretty good. Service is pretty good and there seem to be a lot of satisfied regulars.

Nothing to rave about. Good Indian food but there are better places. Service was attentive but the restaurant was also only a quarter full. OK for a quick lunch or dinner
