Utsav is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning festival. An integral part of Indian culture, Indian festivals are innumerable and equally varied in origin from the Himalayan foothills to the Peninsula's tip and food plays a very prominent part of the festive events.



Each dish has its own distinctive flavor and aroma, thanks to the fresh spices that are prepared everyday for each individual dish. The blending and preparation of fresh spices is a centuries old exacting craft, which is indispensable to Indian cuisines.

    The food was excellent and so flavourful. We will order more naan after the appetizers. The service was great. We were very happy with the experience. Will come again!

    What a wonderfully pleasant surprise! This small treasure is tucked downstairs in a small center in the vibrant Yorkville area. The food was perfectly prepared and excellently seasoned. The portions are generous and modestly priced. As, it seems everywhere in the neighborhood, the building owner wants to demolish and put up a high rise residential tower, I hope that the restaurant will still be there when we return to Toronto. If they are forced to relocate, I hope they keep the name so we can enjoy another great meal.

    The food is great, but I asked for my vindaloo to be extra hot and they held back; it was medium at best. I have this dish a lot, and this wasn't hot by any stretch. It was delicious though. The service was a problem. It wasn't busy, but I had to ask servers to please take our order. It took a while for any drinks to come. We also ended up with far more rice than needed, which was wasted, as they didn't recommended otherwise. The biggest issue was that it took about half an hour to get our bill and we were late for our show. Great food. Could be bolder if the customer requests it. Need to improve the attentiveness of staff. Would go back regardless.

    There was a small amount of guilt about visiting Utsav twice while visiting the city…but zero regrets! The food is phenomenal:)

    An almost hidden place just off of Yorkville Ave, this restaurant is a gem. I had the chicken korma, basmati, and garlic naan with a gin and tonic. Was stuffed and had leftovers. Server was lovely and attentive but didnt hover too much. Delicious food, generous portions, great service.
