Worst staff. I was told buffet is open, I drove 30 Kms from South Etobicoke, upon entry the lady was asking are you fully vaccinated, I said yes, she asked me to show the proof. I asked you did not mention this on phone. No where there is any notice asking customers giving their vaccination requirements for eat in buffet. No instructions or proof of vaccination. Instead the force you to take out. The curries in take out are the same ones the keep in buffet with poor quality. As usual in buffets out of many dishes only one or two are fresh, remaining are stale from days before. How can they expect some one to pay more than half of buffet price for one dish when customer is not sure of its quality. They just play games with customers in the name of buffet. Never do any take outs from here or any buffet restaurants. They are all very poor quality and showing buffet they rob you.

This place looks a bit dingy but they have a huge spread: 11 veg + 11 non-veg curries, plus 1 veg + 1 non-veg briyani ; there were rarer dishes like egg curry, methi malai chicken & rajma. On top of that, there's a dry meat corner & a fried stuff corner. They cover a lot of ground, eg there's both dry & gravy chili chicken. The spread is probably big because it's also used for takeout (I saw staff scooping food from the buffet into a container a few times). The food is mostly of decent quality. Best of all, they're really cheap: Saturday dinner was $17.99 plus tax. They get 4.5 stars. The fried rice was tasteless but the veg Hakka noodles were pretty good. The Butter Naan was decent as naan but a bit dry for butter naan. Butter chicken used tandoori chicken, giving extra flavour & had a very rich sauce (shared with the paneer makhani). It was especially good. There were quite a few desserts: fruit, 2 mini cakes, ice cream & Indian deserts, Both mini cakes were dry. The Indian desserts & fruit were decent. There were 6 ice cream flavours but 3 were super icy & hard & 2 were super soft.

I've always heard that Indian food in Toronto is pretty legit and Desi Spice definitely proved that. I can't speak to how it is in Canada, but in the U.S., Indian buffets are often pretty disappointing so it was nice to break that streak. Not only do they have a lot of choices of food here but the desserts were ON POINT. Hands down the best gulab jamun I've had at a buffet. And we all know that's really the most important part. I can't really remember exactly what I had that day, but you really can't go wrong with trying a little bit of everything. There's plenty of choice for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Prices are really decent. With dinner and a glass of wine, I paid around $22. Can't beat that.
