Aanch-Modernistic Indian Cuisine delights with "absolutely outstanding food" and "amazing service." The biryani and chicken tandoori platter receive high praise, while the intimate ambiance and superb location near Toronto's attractions make it a must-visit. Although some dishes may not meet every palate, the overall experience is noteworthy and welcoming.

Food is overall amazing, we tasted around 6 dishes on the menu and they were all equally good. A bit on the pricier side but portions match the price and we were full and happy at the end. Service is impeccable too and we liked how quiet the restaurant was. Only downside would be the decor that although intimate feels a bit bland and uninspiring. But food comes first and that was a great experience.

My husband and I tried Aanch for the first time a couple of Saturdays ago. We were disappointed as it wasn't what we expected. We were not impressed with the atmosphere, food nor service. For a Saturday night, we were surprised at how empty most of the restaurant was and some of the people who were there dining were oblivious to the other guests in the restaurant. I want to be fair to the restaurant. We were expecting a fine dining restaurant. That's not what this is, but it does seem to be popular with younger people. They can be loud, while enjoying decent food at reasonable prices. If you have a more sophisticated palate and are looking for an intimate atmosphere, I think you will be disappointed.

Absolutely outstanding food. There are flavours I tried for the first time in this restaurant (and I am by no means novice when it comes to Indian food). The service is very professional, 5 stars all around. We will definitely come here again.

Amazing service. Loved all our choices, but ordered too much food as everything sounded (and was) great. Easy walk from downtown hotels. Would definitely return.

Whether you like lamb shank or not order it. The sauce is good enough to drink. Order extra garlic naan to soak it all up.

I went there to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The place is actually gem. The music was soothing and fine dine kind of environment. We ordered chicken 65, butter naan and dilliwala butter chicken and all are so delicious. To mention, Service was so fast.Lastly they surprised us with complementary rasmalai for my husband, That was so nice gesture. Overall I love everything about this restaurant.
