Description

An unpretentious Talbotville spot offering authentic Indian fare alongside Canadian comfort dishes — from biryani and butter chicken to perch and kids’ meals. Diners often enjoy well-spiced flavors, generous portions, friendly service and budget-friendly beers, with dine-in and takeout options. Experiences vary: some guests note inconsistent portioning and quality, occasional high bills, rude phone interactions and a serious food-safety lapse. Casual, comfortable and family-oriented, it’s worth trying but confirm buffet availability and order handling for consistency.

We ordered two chicken curries - one mild and one hot - with all the usual trimmings like green onions, chopped tomatoes, peanuts, and yogurt. However, what we received was not what we had expected. Despite having had hot curries in India and Africa, we were very disappointed with the quality of the dishes. To make matters worse, the bill came to $92, which was quite a shock. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Despite the bad reviews I went here on Valentines with my wife as we were late getting a reservation at our favourite restaurants. Felt like Indian food. What a pleasant surprise. The food was excellent with large portions and wonderfully spiced. Friendly service but like many restaurants seem to be short staffed but we were comfortable and in no rush. Would go back again and try some other dishes.

Terrible place. The appetizers were good, the main mean was terrible but the server was excellent. The owner Mr Patel was very rude. I would not recommend to anyone.

The other day, my wife and I had dinner at The Wayside and it was fantastic. We enjoyed the Chef's Vegetable Biryani, Chef's Special Shahi Paneer, and Cheese Naan, all of which were delicious. The service was excellent, and we are looking forward to returning soon.

The food took a long time to arrive. Each person at our table of 7 was served their meal 5 minutes apart, resulting in some finishing while others were just starting. The portion sizes were small and the chicken was dry. We will not be returning with our family and do not recommend this restaurant.
