A 1 Sweets Restaurant

I came here a few times with my co-​works for lunch. I like to get the THALI combo which includes 3 veg.‘s, 1 sweets, rice, salad, and naan or 2 rotis. The food taste great with a lot of flavor. The Gajar Halwa was my favourite. However, the service was slow.

I ordered takeout for channa bhatura twice and both times the bhatura were still raw. I can actually see the dough inside the thick bhatura. A1 really have gone downhill over the years.

The place is dark, the lady at the front is impatient and rude and the sweets are stale.

My family and I have been going to A1 for the past 5 years and we have always received excellent food. A1 is mainly a takeout place in my opinion because it has limited seating but the food is consistently good.
The prices are reasonable as well since they charge for curries by the container and naan and roti is separate. They also sell indian sweets by the pound and they have a large variety during Diwali. They offer snacks as well such as samosa chaat, aloo tikkis, bhel puri, and pakodas.
The service is fast and you can order and have your food within 5 – 15 mins tops. If you’re ever in Scarborough and you’re craving good Indian food, I urge you to try A1!

Great food and sweets, but the staff seem very rude and impatient. It has been the same for years. Limited seating. But I wouldn’t want to dine in and witness other customers too being treated rudely. If you go there, swallow the rudeness, take the good food and run. Their Channa Batura is the best I have tasted in the GTA.

My experience @ A-​One was not just as they describe; Not A-​one but A-​OK nonetheless. My spinach and roti combo was filling but fresh-​out-​of-​the kitchen –at home kind of bland. Service was very prompt. A great place if you want a good and fresh meal in a rush.

I am not a vegetarian and I didn’t USED to like spicy food, but this was the place that turned it all around for me. I really like the to go meals but we just tried to eat in this time and it was surprisingly nicely setup.
According to my Indian friend, this place has everything that you can think of for vegetarian Indian cuisine.
When I first started going here, I was sweating while eating. Don’t anymore but still, some good eats.

This is one of my «go-​to» spots when in Toronto.
There is very limited seating inside (has only 3 or 4 tables) and so is mainly a take-​out place in my opinion.
But the Indian food is 100% vegetarian and is CLEAN! There is a wide selection of traditional sweets, samosa’s (which tend to be very popular here) along with all your north indian (punjabi) dishes.
I usually get a Veg-​Thali to go which consists of rice, naan, a few veg options and one dessert… it all can be had for about $ 7 which is great since the portions are perfect.
On certain days, they do have other items on their menu (i forget). But they are closed on Mondays which seems to be the norm for most Indian places I encounter in Toronto.

A-​1 has been in existence for many years now, and those in the Indian community living in Richmond Hill-​Markham-​Scarborough area, regard it as the go to spot for inexpensive takeout.
It’s a tiny family-​run restaurant with a few hired cooks in the kitchen, where you can order snacks like samosas, pani puri and even a full Thali. I’m not too keen on the Thalis, since I tend to find the spices pre-​made, and the overall dishes exceptionally bland and infused with sugar, but I can see how this type of fast-​food Indian restaurant would stay in business. It’s a one-​stop restaurant for anything you could think of ordering in terms of Indian food.
The desserts are also a hit and miss since I’ve found their Rasgulas to be fresh, soft and lightly sweet at times, like they ought to be and at others, hard as a rock and overly sweet, when they happen to be sitting out for a while. As it happens, you’ll never know by simply looking at them.
I do enjoy their samosas, however, since I believe they are made on location, because they taste very fresh, and well-​stuffed and seasoned albeit very greasy.
I’ll go here for the snacks, but I steer completely clear from main dishes.
