Guru’s Classic Indian & Chinese Cuisine

OMG… love love love their food… it’s good with quality, quantity and price… 4 people ordered 2 rice varieties, dal 2 Naan, 2 chicken varieties and 1 American veg choupsey (hated just that-​too sweet) all for $ 80… we were too full and took remaining in take away… would definitely recommend…

We gave this place two chances.
It’s –15 C and they keep the front doors closed. We had to walk all the way to the side door with a child. I asked them why they keep the front double doors closed and their excuse was that customers on the door side might get a draft. The purpose of double doors is to keep cold out. I guess they didnt read the instructions.
The food sucks! No taste, just bland. Blah!
The side door is right in front of the menu so the food is was dead cold. The naan was not edible.
Service was non existent.
I don’t think the food is worth more than $ 10 per dish. I would steer clear.

Appetizers and soups are great. Chicken pakoras are sublime. However, all other food is subpar and the service is quite possibly the worst I have ever received in a restaurant. They act as though patrons are an inconvenience to them. Aren’t we the ones paying your bills? Rude, lousy service. Get the chicken pakoras to go.
Edit; their buffet for lunch is great for 10.95.
Worth it; not a lot of options but for the price you can’t go wrong. The service is still awful.

We are almost a regular customer now!!! We like the foods here.
Good food at good price. Spicy (just what you expect from Indian cooking), aromatic and freshly cooked.
Some times it may take quite a long wait before the food is served. Keep average 20 minutes in hand after you place your order for dinner. Most of the servers are pretty helpful and polite (except few, but that is natural I guess).

So I went there again to give it a chance.
Today the food was much better. As usual the fish was the best. The soup was good. The vegetable dish was good. Although the chick peas were not very flavorful.
The goat meat quality was slightly better but still there is a lot of room for improvement. I still won’t suggest that.
There is still room for improvement but it was a better experience today

first time visit — went for dinner last night, had the best butter chicken I have ever tasted! Tom Yum soup was delicious. Pleasant staff, prompt service.

This place is currently my favourite north indian restaurant in Mississauga. Guru’s is has both indian and Hakka style cuisine, however I tend to only order their indian food, although I’ve heard great things about their Hakka cuisine.
This place is not meant to be any up scale restaurant but their décor has made it look pretty decent.
For some unknown reason each time I go there it has been quite empty with only 2 to 3 tables occupied, whereby I noticed that this place is very popular for take-​out rather than sit-​in since I did see numerous people coming in just to get their food to go.
I love their north indian food. I usually opt for their thali, and they are happy to make any substitutions for me, such as swapping for goat rather than chicken or swapping nan for roti.
Their curries are amazing and not too oily and their prices are reasonable for the quantity given.
A must go for sure!

Worse customer service no matters. I went on friday the guy was working i ask him table one he just so gurmpy i am never going back.

My mom has been to this place multiple times, and suggested that I tried it with her a few days ago. We got the «Kings Platter» Which came with tandoori chicken, chicken kabob, tandoori chicken chunks & non-​tandoori, and some type of curry seasoned fish… It was bursting with flavour, melting in the mouth. Their naan was amazing, and the rice cooked to perfection. There was so much food for 25 $ we couldn’t finish it all, and had to take out a lot of chicken. We ended it all wish rasmali, which was to die for! Will be visiting again soon

I tried this place when they had just opened I believe sometime in 2013, I ordered few items as a takeout, Chili chicken, fried rice, fish Pakora and something cannot remember, but the food was subpar, so I am not going back
The good things I noticed about the restaurant, it was really busy, customer service was great, good location, and tons of parking
Thanks for reading

I wanted to hate on this place based on the first time I visited for take-​out and I was completely ignored, but I just can’t.
Came here for the buffet lunch. Note that lunch starts at noon and continues until 3:00 pm. I came for 11:45 and they were not ready. This time, as I entered the venue, the owner greeted us and pointed us to a table. I looked up at the ceiling and saw chinese umbrellas and lanterns hanging. I look to the left and I see a great view of the Heritage House on Brittania. I really liked the ambiance. We were then served with cold water. Given, we were the first customers at this place, so maybe that’s why we were actually attended to.
I was really interested at their green chicken tikka and was hoping it was on the buffet menu, but it wasn’t. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried. Loved the goat curry, the meat was still stuck to the bone, which makes for a juicy and flavourful meal. I also loved the garlic fish, which was cooked hakka style, with curry and sweet and sour flavouring. The spinach with paneer was also great along with the peas and paneer, which were a little bit on the spicy side. Chaat papri was great, tandoori chicken and naan were also tasty.
So overall, I do like this place and I will try again. I’ll come back for takeout for the green chicken and see if I will be completely ignored again, which I hope for their sake, they won’t.

Don’t go if you want to enjoy with your family and friends.
we had the worst experience of dinning out in Guru’s. First of all the manager did not attended us well and was busy had no soft skills at all not even courteous enough to smile and request us to wait with a humble gesture. We waited out for more than half hour (that’s ok as we can understand, as it was busy). Then we finally went in and orderd he asked us to order everything at once as they were about to close, we ordered but asked them to keep space between starter and appetizers but not even after 5 minutes they literally «dumped everything» on the table without even changing the plates. We had cancelled one of the dishes and to our surprise they brought that. I had confirmed the order by going to Manager’s table. This was even after confirming the order twice. We ordered butter roti’s but we were served plain roti’s and nothing was done to rectify their fault. They literally misbehaved even with ladies which is Disgusting. Not even the owner tried to settle this rather he started to argue as well. Only one of the staff who was serving was patient in his approach rest all were arguing and did not even apologized.

Good food, ambiance and service. Love their dry chilli chicken. They can meet your required spice level.

Chinese is not as good as pure hakka Chinese restaurants. But its not bad either. Indian food was good. Green chicken tikka was amazing

I went for the lunch buffet on a Saturday, wasn’t too busy at all
They have mostly Indian/​Pakistani food, but some Chinese as well.
The interior was nice, well decorated, and service was excellent! The waiters were friendly and helpful and the owner was very welcoming. I would definitely visit this restaurant again, maybe even for a-​la-​carte dining as well

I was in the Heartland area, cold and cranky. I seriously need to know when, enough is enough. apparently I make this executive decision to go to a couple of extra stores mean while I’m dying of hunger. I know what your thinking, don’t judge me homie.*pshh*. Anyways, I desperately opened up the Unilocal app, and read Bernie C.‘s review and I was convinced to check this place out. When I opened the door to Guru’s restaurant, it was empty but clean and the décor was quite nice. Once I was seated, I ordered whatever I set my eyes on, not exactly a smart move, since I always order way too much food. The server was polite but he isn’t exactly server material. I asked him about the Shanghai noodles and he described them as flat noodles. We went back and forth for a bit and I was starting to get irritated and googled what I wanted and he’s like «Ok. Flat noodle»… *crickets* I just let the server do his thing and finished placing the rest of my order. Across the room, there was another server who just sat at a table and was glued to the tv and all he did was fill up my water every 5 minutes, who are you competing with? Mandarin? My dehydrated friend was impressed with the water refilling service and stated this place is worth giving 5 stars (big mistake) lol. The appetizer arrived in sync with my water being refilled haha. The chicken pakoras were so deliciously spicy. Now where the heck was my speedy water refill service? My mouth was on fire and the server across the room was no where to be found. Within 10 minutes the Shanghai «flat» noodles (still got me the wrong ones), chilli chicken and manchurian beef arrived all at the same time. The food looked really dull and it all tasted the same. Very mediocre and not as spicy as the chicken pakoras. I’ve had better Hakka food but this is nothing special to come back for. My friend and I were running low on the H to the IzzO and the main server came with that copper jug to the rescue. We were so stuffed and asked for the bill. When the main server came back with the bill, the other server popped out of no where and started to clear our plates and knocked over a full glass of water on my friends crotch. Haha! So glad it wasn’t me. My friend was furious and wanted a discount or even a proper apology but the server just whispered a quick sorry and snuck away. I asked my friend does this place still deserve 5 stars? I’m so mean lol. Seriously this place needs to hire better servers. they are a mess and just completely boring people, sorry. This place is alright and I will probably try out their lunch buffet instead.

Tried the lunch buffet and it was great and cheap — $ 9.99. It says $ 11.00 on the takeout menu, so I’m not sure if they reduced their price to compete with Tandoori Flame. This is a very competitive area for Indian Fusion food with both Avani and Tandoori Flame around the corner. Guru’s is very similar to Bukhara on Burhamthorpe as it’s a mix of Indian and Hakka Chinese. Had this been my first visit, I would have given it 5 stars, but I have to consider my last review (mediocre at best) as well in the star rating.
Pros: Amazing butter chicken, goat curry is fall off the bone, tandoori chicken isn’t too spicy and not burnt, fresh fruits and some Hakka food as well (chow mein, fried rice„ spring rolls and pakora). Also, good selection of stir fry veggies and potatoes.
Cons: Nothing really, except they only have 15 – 20 selection of hot food for their buffet, but it’s better than too many choices with poor quality. Also, they constantly fill up your water to make you full (not really a con) lol.
Average things: Naan. It’s okay, but nothing special.
Final verdict: Try out their buffet during the weekdays. Cheap and good.
Edited: I put pakora’s twice lol
