Kothur Indian Cuisine

Great little hole in the wall type of restaurant — very cosy with lovely live music on Saturday night to complement the meal.
The menu is extensive and we haven’t ordered anything bad to date. Portion sizes are generous, lots of flavour for reasonable price… Staff is courteous and knowledgeable about the food.
I can’t comment on take out /​delivery experience, I know sometimes it differs from a sit down meal.

two thumbs up! have only done delivery and takeout and both have been great. food is always piping hot. paneer makhani is f’ing delicious. like, crave-​able. i like everything on the menu and i can never not order this damned dish from here!
would give 5 stars but the biryani (which is one of the dishes i measure a restos true ability) is abysmal. sorry kothur, but you do have a bit of work to do here.

I have eaten here many times.
It is rare that you see a restaurant that offers both North Indian and South Indian cuisine.
The South Indian dishes (dosa, idli, etc.) are well cooked, the meat dishes are also well made.
However, I am not a fan of the assorted meat dish.
The masala tea is also very good.
Overall a very good place and I highly recommend it if you are in the South Etobicoke/​Mississauga area.

My little dog doesn’t even bark at the delivery man from Kothur any more, he knows him so well! This is my go-​to treat at the end of the week, and my regular order of two main dishes and a couple of sides comes to just a little over $ 30. Portions are so large that it keeps me going for a couple of days! My personal favourites are Palak Paneer and ANY of their biryanis. All breads (nans and parathas) are delish and I can’t can’t can’t resis their rice pudding.
Sometimes, though, it’s lovely to visit the restaurant and enjoy the ambiance and friendly service.
Nothing negative about Kothur. Nothing!

Had a meal delivered yesterday, it was the worse food I’ve eaten. I have eaten many fine Indian meals from London and across America and Canada but this was the absolute worse ever. So the order was veggie pakora they were dry as hell and clearly just refried, malai kofta these dumplings were nice but the sauce was cold, aloo palak this was just bland as anything it was just pure green blandess, chicken kurma was the worse and dangerous (a piece of chicken was cover and wrapped in plastic), the last items was a keema naan and plain naan both were fine and a plain rice.
It was so bad especially the da house plastic wrapped chicken. After a call to the restaurant and being passed onto the manager all he expressed was humms and arhhhhs. After saying it was very off putting and not a great impression he did seem to care. This place will never get my business again and I hope some people in the catering and food industry take more pride in not just what’s produced but have an action plan ready to rectify issues.

Went with a group of friends for lunch on Sunday. We all decided on the $ 7.99 lunch special. Tasty but everyone left still very hungry per the portions were extremely small. We went through Burger King drive-​through afterwards. Too bad we won’t be returning.

Don’t get the lunch special, the quantity is too small. I would rather that they charge more than have to look for a Wendy’s afterwards.

Hands down one of my favourite indian food restaurants in the GTA. Amazing butter chicken, naan and actually, everything is just fantastic.
Make sure to try the mango lassi’s here if you like that sort of thing. They’re excellent! And the staff are very friendly.

On November 8, we visited friends of ours and on their recommendation, placed an order for delivery from Kothur. We were told that our order would take an hour to arrive. 10 minutes after that hour passed, we called and were told that it would arrive in 10 – 15 minutes. It was finally delivered nearly 2 hours after we initially placed the order.
I might have added one more star in my review, had the staff at Kothur actually apologised and taken responsibility for the fact that they obviously forgot our order and then scrambled to get it out the door. Instead, each time we called in frustration, we were treated to a litany of excuses — it would be there soon (the same thing we were told at 70 and 90 minutes), traffic (in Etobicoke at 7 p.m. on a Saturday night? give me a break), even insinuating that we had mistakenly called our order in to the Yonge location (our cellphone records don’t lie). Due to this mess, we asked for a discount on our order, and were told that someone would speak to the driver and that one would be offered when he arrived. This too was a lie — no one from the restaurant had contacted him, and we actually ended up having to haggle over a reasonable discount.
The food was reasonably well prepared, but it was obvious that the order was rushed. We ordered the tandoori fish, and I know that tandoor dishes take some time to prepare. The salmon simply tasted like mildly spiced salmon — there was no sign that the dish had spent any amount of time being marinated or properly cooked in a tandoor oven.
So, rather than sitting down to an enjoyable dinner with our friends, we were left frustrated, hungry and rushed through our meal (they have young children and the delay also disrupted their usual sleeping patterns). The abysmal customer service is inexcusable — there could have been so many small and simple gestures made to salvage the experience, but instead we were made to feel as if we were the ones being impatient and even that we had somehow contributed to the problem. This restaurant would do well to learn to take responsibility, apologise and fairly compensate when it makes such an obvious mistake. As such, we won’t be providing Kothur with any further business, and certainly won’t recommend this restaurant to anyone we know.

This is the same as the old Everest (which was across the street.)
The Butter Chicken is delicious. Combined with the Lemon rice and Naan bread it is a wonderful meal.
If you don’t have time to eat in they do take-​away to.

Just had a great dinner at Kothur with friends.
2 of the people with us were pregnant, therefore we had asked for a mild meal — which we did get. The food was rich and creamy, but somewhat tasteless.
The business caters to its local audience, and not to the Brampton/​Mississauga crowd — which they have done well.
We ordered the Paneer Makhni, Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, and an app plate.
As a Mimico/​Long Branch local — this is my favorite indian restaurant when I do not want to drive 35 mins.
Would I go back? — YES! (and I’ll be ordering the food Spicy!)

These guys are great again! The chefs are the same! Can’t believe how much I enjoyed their food. Only missing from before was before had perfect décor 7-​this is still fairly charming… The service was delightful. Don’t I repeat don’t… miss this gem*

Kothur IS NOT Everest Cuisine. Both are located within several meters from each other on opposite sides of Lakeshore Blvd.
Food was bland. Everything was water based. I can understand trend to serve healthy, saltless food but I don’t go to an Indian restaurant for that ! It should be creamy, and rich and heavy to be authentic. It was not.
Mutter Panner described in the menu as «Home made cottage cheese and green peas cooked in creamy sauce» was an expensive for its size small bowl of tasteless sauce with couple pieces of equally tasteless pieces called home made cheese.
Chicken Tikka Masala and chicken Vindaloo differed by spiciness and while sauce appeared to be thick underneath there was water. Again — it resembled healthy heart diet. It was bland. It was not exciting. It was boring. My colleague liked it and I hated it.
Water in a pitcher was warm and with no ice. There were no lemon slices available.
They offered no extra condiments, no pickled carrots or lemons or yogurt. A waitress said that I’d have to pay for it separately. I think she noticed how dissatisfied I was with their food because she decided to bring me a sample of mixed pickled veggies for free — now that was the only thing that actually made any Indian sense !
So — two stars for the effort with pickles otherwise I’ll stick to authentic Indian dishes in Brampton and Malton in Mississauga.
