Sweet India Restaurant

Week 2 of my «Indian Food Obsession». I have eaten some type of Indian/​Pakistani food almost every other day! And I’m still not over it!
Today, I got take-​out from Sweet India: butter chicken, rice and naan for the kids and goat biryani for me. Some mithai too, including a rather uncommon petha (candied winter melon).
My goat biryani was delicious. Plenty of tender morsels. Well-​spiced rice. For $ 4.99, it was just the right size for me (about 2 cups of food). I’m supposed to be on a low-​carb diet, lol.
The kids said the butter chicken was delicious but didn’t care much for the naan. Said it was a bit gummy. I wonder if the texture was bad because it had been wrapped in foil and taken to go?
Rice and naan cost extra, which is good if you are trying to watch the carbs.
There is a small seating area now for dining-​in but it’s still a basic place.
I will be back!
Footnote: the boxes of sweets from various places had been piling up on my kitchen counter. Today, I noticed that Sweet India’s box is gone — although it was the most recent addition. Guess we liked it the best. My favourite sweet was the Special Barfi. It tasted like saffron. I will have to go back and ask them. And get some more. Might as well pick up some goat biryani and butter chicken while I’m at it!

This place is so good and cheap. I spent $ 30 and came out with so much food. It was enough to feed me and my bf twice! Service is quick and friendly. My only complaint was that the chicken biryani had too many little bones in it.

I found Sweet India Restaurant through Unilocal.I was in Toronto for work and wanted to try something that wasn’t Tim Hortons (although I love their maple donut!). I was staying near the airport and found Sweet India to be close by.
The restaurant is located in an interesting strip mall. The strip mall is a bit sketchy and parking was full. Sweet India is located in the middle of the strip mall.
When I walked in, I smelled home-​cooked Indian food. There are display cases for sweets, and the menu is posted on a board. I ordered the butter chicken, saag paneer, garlic naan and rice. The total was $ 15.
The butter chicken was the best. It was flavorful and I can taste the butter and Indian spices. I could have just eaten the sauce by the spoonful, like soup!
The saag paneer was okay. It wasn’t my favorite and I may have been biased, having eaten the butter chicken first.
The garlic naan was warm and fresh. But the rice was a bit cold.
I am happy I tried a new restaurant. I would definitely recommend the butter chicken and garlic naan.

Excellent Indian food at a fast food price! Even cheaper than MacDonald’s! Taste is better than any Indian restaurant in downtown I’ve tried. And the price is almost half of what you usually pay…
Their sweets are also excellent. Khoya was superb!

MUST TRY THEIR BUTTER CHICKEN (with the roti or naan)!!! this dish right here gets an effen ***** (don’t count, it’s FIVE STARS) soooo damn good, no other butter chicken will ever compare.
Let me just explain to you how good it really is, I don’t ever eat alone… but i did EAT ALONE AND ATE THERE VERY PROUDLY without a care in the world. lol not only do i order one for there, i order one for take out… i eat it BACK TO BACK :)
Only reason why it doesn’t get five stars from me is simply because this place is ghetto lol (for those who don’t know what that means, it’s a bit outdated and small) but it doesn’t even matter how it looks… they’re always busy… so glad i found this little hidden jem

I drive to Sweet India at least once a month from Niagara because we absolutely love the food. My family all place orders and I walk out of there with a ton of take out.
This place has the BEST Indian food I have ever eaten in the GTA. The butter chicken is amazing.

This is a place I visit often. Delicious Indian food that tastes like home and reasonable prices. Their sweets are a lovely way to end a meal I recommend the «milk cake». I’ve enjoyed the channa bhatura, butter chicken, roti, chat papri, paneer dishes and all are yummy. The service is good. Don’t be fooled by the appearance of this place. I do wish they would stop using styrofoam plates and cups as this hurts our environment.

I really like this place! I came in today. I thought kwality sweets had the best samosas in town. this one is up to par. The butter chicken was delicious, unlike kwality. Everything is amazing but the butter chicken. This place has good desserts too. I tried the bharfi desserts and the vegetable pakora and the briyani and everything was very tasty. Not to over the top spicy, just the perfect touch. Definitely recommend and they are Very Affordable! Most Indian restaurants I go to usually likes to dig deep into my pockets but not this place! 23 bucks for everything! I might even become a regular, jeez

This place is awesome. I live near square one but have a couple friends in Malton and we always go here when we get together. Their Chana Bhatura is really good, and extremely cheap! If you’re looking for a satisfying meal for under 5 dollars, I would highly recommend it. I have also had the butter chicken before when I’m looking for a meat option and have enjoyed it as well. The one downside is that they give you food in paper plates and the owner can be a little stingy when it comes to extra plates/​napkins. Overall, great food at great prices!

No matter what day of the week, or what time of the day you come in to eat, you get the best, highest quality, and least expensive Indian food in the GTA.
I’ve been coming here for years, and their food is consistently delicious every time. Their butter chicken is one of the best and creamiest I’ve had, and I travel the world and I can tell you this one is to die for. They have samosas that are mouth watering, and will even sell you frozen ones for you to bring home at a very reasonable price.
After being established in Malton for the last 30 ish years, they are renovating their establishment to accommodate more people and be more technologically advanced.
The owner has become a good friend over the last 6 years of me coming here, and there is not another place that I would ever recommend more than here.
Sweet India represents Indian food at its best.

This place is the definition of disaster… I usually NEVER go to Indian restaurants because they cheap out on everything so you know that theyre going to give you cr@p quality food, but i went here one day to get samosas… If you like surprises with your order, then I would totally recommend Sweet India… Especially if the surprise belongs in the Insect Exhibit at the Science centre, because I swear to you there was a cockroach inside THE DAMN SAMOSA! When I confronted the owner he offered me a free meal?! Im like you honestly think im going to eat here again? Did the health inspection agency skip its visits to airport road for the past decade? how is this establishment still in business?

great food for a good price!

When I used to live in Brampton, my older brother always came here for take out. He raved about their butter chicken and after trying a few bites of his take out I agreed, definitely one of the creamier (sweet) variations I’ve had.
I moved from Brampton to Mississauga west, so my brother hasn’t brought any home for quite a few years now. Today, a few of us were heading to visit a friend who unfortunately broke his ankle before Christmas and was home bound. So after narrowing our stomach growls for Indian, I was put in charge of feeding 4 people.
I thought about the most cost efficient and Sweet India came up. There are 2 store fronts in the same plaza now, so I walked into the newer one. The gentleman who looked like the owner, was polite (not overly friendly but definitely helpful) and available. I asked his opinion about the amount I was ordering for 4 people and he was pretty honest and didn’t really pressure me to order more.
Everything on the menu is individual portions and doesn’t come with naan or rice unless it’s a combo. But the prices are amazing– running from about $ 4-​$ 6 per dish. They also have 2 fridges full of indian sweets that are available by the pound.
My order:
2 butter chickens (creamy and no traces of tomato base)
1 goat vindaloo (Flavorful, but not much spice)
1 saag paneer (Delicious, the paneer wasn’t stale and was still soft)
1 chana masala (Ok…)
1 chicken biryani (I’ve definitely had better but it was tasty and not mushy)
2 orders of naan (meh… definitely smaller than most other indian restaurants)
1 order of galab jaman (Good)
Total: $ 39 (WOWZA) when my friends were paying me later after the meal… they tried to give me $ 40 each lol They couldn’t believe the amount they ate was only $ 39 total. Amazing prices!
CONS:
There isn’t a ton of meat in the curries, but a fair amount given that the curry portion is individual size.
Everything they serve is in styrofoam which isn’t environmentally friendly… take out I get (most asian places) but sit down too :/​
Parking is limited and not a lot of spaces to back out.
I’ll be back the next time I’m responsible for take out! I prefer other indian restaurants in Mississauga for sit down meals though.

Thali: The butter chicken thali comes with butter chicken, rice, one mixed vegetable, yogurt, onions dipped in green chutney and a bhatura for about $ 7.
Paneer Pokora: Great Texture, not so oily, a bit spicy and comes with a red sweet and sour sauce. $ 7.49 for a pound I believe.
Chana Bhatura: Tastes like any other Indian place. I would say good but average.
Location: Used to be outdated and crowded but now they are renovating so I’m excited for that.
Overall:
— Reasonable price for the quantity and as well the quality.
— Medium Spicy food
— Consistent with the quality
— Best for take out since there is no table service and are usually quick with orders

Inexpensive tasty Indian food. It’s a counter and cafeteria try type of place but great food at a great price.

The Food is good but the quantity is really leaning on the cheap side in my opinion. The butter chicken with rice is an appetizer add a bottle of water your paying 9 bucks and your leaving feeling empty. You may have had a good tasting lunch but the portion is way to small. Kids Meal to be exact.
Your welcome

Great little Indian spot near Airport and Derry Rd
Sweet India is this small clean little Indian restaurant where the owners are very friendly and though they have sweets lining their walls, it’s the food that I really enjoyed. The parking is somewhat limited, but you can park across next to the near abandoned looking plaza. The menu is a simple Indian with many of the favorites and they have daily specials everyday.
The butter chicken is what really makes people come back. It’s a rich butter sauce that soaks into the chicken, and though heavy, it doesn’t make you feel so awful. The chicken is tender pieces of white meat chicken (boneless and skinless) that are swimming in this buttery concoction. Though it’s not the best like many in my workplace claim, it definitely is good.
Other things I’ve tried include the chicken curry which was done well and had bone-​in pieces of dark meat chicken that had been simmering with the sauce so it soaks it up a tad better. The veggie samosas can be sold small (4 for $ 1) or the larger varieties which are only 40 cents each.
You’re more than welcome to come for the sweets, but you’d be missing out if you didn’t come away with a small takeout meal or at least some samosas. The prices are cheap and the place is rather clean. Definitely one of the favorites for my coworkers.

Note: This restaurant uses styrofoam plates/​cups. There is no waiter service here, hence the low prices!
Once I drove up and saw the casual-​ness of the dining facility, I tempered my expectations. After all, it is 1 $ sign on Unilocal.I should’ve fully investigated the pics before I drove out from ‘ssauga.
As you can see from the posted menu, mains are hovering the $ 6 mark. Naan/​rice is extra if you don’t order a meal or thali, but prices are still reasonable. Portion sizes are fair for what you pay, I wouldn’t say HUGE or anything.
Butter Chicken — Gravy is more on the sweet side with a hint of coconut milk. Not my fav version of this dish.
Goat Curry — Decent flavour. Again, waaay more sauce than protein, but ok for price point.
Onion Salad — I did not like this. I like onions, don’t mind raw onions, but something about raw, salted onions did not awaken my taste buds.
Naan & Rice — Both pretty basic. Naan was more of a flat pita, definitely not a fluffy, fresh naan. Rice was alright with little cumin seeds in it. It was good that neither of these sides were too filling as I find gravies/​curries quite heavy enough!
Chicken Pakora — Dry. Already prepared and they go to the back to ‘ding’ it. So it became dry after reheated. I did like the green raita sauce with raw red onions tho’.
Chicken Biryani — I don’t know the name of this style, but it’s more Southern Indian, as opposed to Pakistani style. Rice was a bit more mushy and had a red tinge, not yellow which I prefer.
Atmosphere: ‘80s, former ice cream/​coffee shoppe looking. Peach walls. And old pink/​mint green cafeteria style table with swivel stools, think McD’s before renos — if you’re old enough. Appears clean, washroom was a bit dingy.
One thing that I REALLY didn’t like was the fact that there’s tons of waste. All meals/​drinks, even dine-​in, are plastic or styro, so that equals to lotsa stuff going into the landfill which doesn’t make me feel good.
Again, temper your expectations. I wouldn’t mind visiting again for a quick meal if I was in the area. However, I wouldn’t drive out there to dine-​in.

Best butter chicken in the city, hands down. Not much spice but the actual flavor is fantastic.
The thali, naan, saag paneer, chana dishes are always great as well. The lassi drinks are always fresh too. Relatively fresh desserts also made on-​site.
Always fresh, never dissatisfies, fairly priced.
This is a small, family business and after trying to convince the owner to open a more central location after being 30yrs in business… His answer was still «no, thank you».
I’ve been to many Indian/​Pakistani restaurants in the GTA over the last 12 years and only one other has come close to the quality of food. This place though, for the price never disappoints and I drive 40 km to get there!
Other, more high-​end restaurants that have been rated as 4 star on Unilocal don’t even come close (such as Curry Twist).

Wow… what a gem of a little place.
For true authentic Indian food — this is most certainly the place !
That being said, we certainly do not come to Sweet India for the décor that is for sure — but for lunch this place is awesome for Indian Curries like wonderful melt in your mouth Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala and the Curry goat is really wonderful. So many great flavours and they have about 30other Indian dishes as well… a large menu really.
Seats about 15 people in what was I think an old Mr. Subway — the food is out of this world. The menu is on the board behind the owner and I’ve been here about 20 times and still don’t know how to order properly… The butter chicken with rice and nann is great with little spicy onions you can put on — you can order mild or if you like Indian heat, order as you want it. The price is really really affordable…
The samosa’s and savoury snacks are really good — love the vegetable pakora with the very flavourful dipping sauce.
They have a wonderful display of Indian sweets too — have bought these a couple time to take back to the office and they are good, but pure sugar !
All in All — eating here is great and you won’t be disappointed !
