Famous Indian Cuisine - Toronto

It's now known as "The New Famous Indian Cuisine" since they moved down the street from their previous location as "The Famous Indian Cuisine".

Came here on my lunch break, checked yelp to see what was in the area that was recommended, wouldn't have found this place otherwise.

Agree with the other reviewers about this buffet place, as it really hit the spot! Half of the curry dishes were veg and the other half meat based and the

This restaurant is a wonderful find on Gerrard Street. Chef Suki uses only fresh wholesome ingredients in every dish, making this an easy choice for foodies and those who are Gluten-free/Paleo/Vegetarian.This restaurant recently moved to a new location (where Mahar restaurant was beside Nucreation).Great authentic cuisine and be sure to try the mint chutney!Ajay Joshi

I almost went right past Famous Indian when I noticed the word "Buffet". It also happens to be the same word incorrectly spelled as "Buffer" on the menu flyer.Spelling "buffet" as "buffer" is actually funny, but to me, it also has another meaning.This little restaurant can in fact, be a buffer, a resting space from the hot sun or winter chill; or Indian food in a pinch for someone with difficulty choosing from so many different eateries at Coxwell and Gerrard in Toronto.There are good and not-so-good things about this little restaurant with an all-day buffet.The hot food was actually tasty, with enough vegetarian varieties that ranked at par with most competitors. The meat dishes were also acceptable with curry sauces, boneless butter chicken, and braised lamb. There was also tandoori chicken even though I found it a bit dry.The buffet also had cold garnishes, salads, one variety of Indian dessert, and four flavors of ice-cream.These are the good things I remember.The not-so-good things started with the ginger ale that came in a glass when I would have wanted the entire can to do as I wished.Another small setback was the papadam that I asked for when its tray was empty at the buffet. But I was told the cook was on lunch break and could not make more papadam. Then halfway through my meal, the staff brought me bread when at most other restaurants, bread would have come much earlier.Lastly, I found the staff a bit slow in removing my plate when I went up for more food. Mostly young people, the staff's attention to customers seemed sporadic as if they were more interested in their texting devices than work. My suggestion is to interact more enthusiastically with customers than to stare at a mobile phone, especially if they want paying customers to recommend Famous Indian to others.So, that was my experience at Famous Indian Cuisine. For $12, the buffet I had was a buffer from a hot day.Thank you.
