By Aanch Restaurant

Really delicious food. Samosas had flaky pastry, goat curry was great, paneer was perfect. The restaurant is also really nice, great atmosphere.

Incredible experience eating here with 2 of my friends. The food is amazing, you can tell that they’re using quality ingredients and aren’t cutting any corners. The flavours are just out of this world and deeply nourishing. The service was excellent! Very genuine staff who were welcoming, humble, very helpful. Atmosphere is lovely. Nice music, great decor. I ate here as a vegan and was just blown away by the flavours and selection. Definitely a new favourite spot of mine!!

**Tradition Meets Genius on a Plate** Michelin got it right! ByAanch isn’t just a meal—it’s a love letter to Indian cuisine, reimagined with Michelin-starred finesse. Every dish feels like a conversation between old traditions and bold, modern creativity. The flavors? Familiar yet thrillingly unexpected. The **Dhuaan Wala Kala Murg** stole the show—tender, smoky, and draped in Indian spices. The **Chicken Tikka Queche** was a proof that innovation doesn’t have to erase heritage. Dessert was pure magic too: *Kheer in White Wine Pear**. Even the cocktails, like the **Mango Bunta**, balanced spice and sweetness like a perfectly tuned raga. The ambiance? Warm and sober, with earthy tones—no pretension, just soul. The staff? Very kind and passionate, guided us through the menu. **Price:** 💸💸(Worth every penny!) **Vibe:** ✨ Timeless yet groundbreaking. **Return?** Absolutely 💯

During the Little Italy festival, we always look forward to By Aanch’s booth and we always say, we should come here for a full meal. 2 years later and we finally stopped by and we are kicking ourselves for not coming sooner. We ordered off the patio menu which has really fun and creative Indian dishes. Everything we got was amazing. The shots and the samosas are our favourites during the festival so we had to get them. Staff was super friendly and helpful too. Everything was jam packed with flavour. We will definitely be back!

We visited Aanch Restaurant for a post-Diwali dinner, and it was a fantastic experience! I ordered: - Rose Lassi - Super thick and delicious; just the right balance of sweetness. (11/10) - Paan Licious Drink - Beautifully presented and perfectly strong. (10/10) - Basil Paneer Tikka - The paneer was definitely made in-house, incredibly soft and marinated to perfection before being cooked in the tandoor. (11/10) - Papad Chaat - A unique twist on a classic. (7/10) - Badal Jaam Bruschetta - Very different and flavorful. (7/10) - Kadhai Paneer with Chilli Naan - The highlight of the night! We requested an 8/10 spice level, and they delivered INDIA-LEVEL spice. Truly authentic and delicious! (100/10) The authentic North Indian flavors were spot on, with spices that transported us back to India, not just the usual chilli flakes. Our non-vegetarian friends were seriously jealous; they admitted the veg food was outstanding—rare to find such quality here in Toronto. The staff was attentive and welcoming, and they even surprised us with complimentary mango kulfi for Diwali! We also took biryani to-go, can’t wait to try it. Highly recommend this place for its authentic North Indian flavors, attentive service, and memorable food experience. Will definitely be back!

Really good lunch menu, value for money and very tasty. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the dal fantastic. The biryani and roti were also on point, some nice cocktail options too.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant on my birthday! The food was incredibly delicious, and they surprised me with a beautifully arranged birthday platter that made the celebration even more special. Manager Ashish was exceptionally attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommended!

Came here for my Aunt’s birthday. We were looking for a place which has a good ambience for family and good food. To my surprise everything I ordered here was amazinggg. We had the best butter chicken in toronto. Ordered their spicy cocktail, ooh spicy but tasty. Chef is really sweet and talks to the customers personally. Definitely coming back again to try more dishes.

This spot is literally ! By Aanch is a sister restaurant to the Michelin-recognized Aanch, with theatrical interpretations of modern Indian dishes. We fell in love with the beautiful presentation and delicious dishes, all packed with tons of flavour! We tried the: - Papad chaat - each crispy cone was filled with bhelpuri chaat, aloo chaat, corn chaat, or masal peanut chaat - Chicken tikka quiche - tandoori chicken chunks and a tomato-onion salsa served in tart shells - Kadhai chicken: chicken in a stew base - Yellow Dal Fry: lentil stew - Plain naan and lachha parantha (flakey bread - this was so good to dip in the stews) - Chocolate Kulfi bomb: the presentation was phenomenal Contained mango kulfi inside. Uses sambuca liquor that is set on fire during serving. If you like spiked desserts - this one might be for you! - Rose Lassi: rose yogurt drink - Mango Bunta: mango soda with some masala spices Put By Aanch down the next time you're feeling Indian food - the dishes Chef Sudhanshu Kumar are perfection and we were honestly full just after the two appetizers and brought most of the mains home

I visited this spot since I like the original location on Wellington. Overall the food was okay and it is priced extremely high. For these prices, I would expect fine dining and better quality of food. I would not recommend this restaurant.

My recent dining experience at By Aanch left me utterly impressed and delighted. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the trendy ambiance, seamlessly blending modern decor with subtle Indian touches. The atmosphere set the perfect stage for what was to come. As a lover of Indian street food, I was excited to try their innovative creations. The Sabudana Vada Chaat was a standout dish, perfectly combining the crispy texture of the sabudana vada with the vibrant flavors of traditional chaat, creating a symphony of tastes that danced on my palate. Another fusion marvel was the Chicken Tikka Trio. Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable, with attentive staff members ensuring that every need was met promptly and courteously. Whether you're a fan of traditional Indian cuisine or looking to explore new culinary horizons, this restaurant is a must-visit. I left with a contented heart and a craving to return soon for another delightful fusion feast.

We went to Aanch - Modernistic Indian Cuisine on the recommendation of our host, Ricky at the Toronto Hilton & had a great experience. The food was as good & authentic as anything we've eaten on our many trips to India. We had a couple glasses of excellent wine along with the Mulligatawny soup to start. It was thinner consistency than we were accustom to but great flavor. We shared an order of Naan bread, rice & Butter Chicken that was perfect! We have another 3-days in Toronto and may go back again before we leave the city. Great service and pleasant atmosphere.

Simply incredible food, it's become my favourite restaurant. The presentation, the flavor, the service are all top notch!

The food was simply superb. Flavourful without being overpowering. Impressed. Will be back. Best Indian i have had. And the service was amazing. Friendly and attentive

Very Delicious!, generous portions! attentive staff! Their lunch deal is great and today really enjoyed both the rogan josh and the sweet and sour pumpkin. Good mix of opuions for vegetarian and meat/fish eaters. The server we had was very kind but a bit too soft spoken so it was a little difficult to interact. The food was arranged really nicely but the platters took a bit too much space on the table... With a few tweaks they should showcase the excellent food even better!
