The Guru Fine Indian Cuisine

After an amazing experience 6 years ago, we decided to visit this old gem yet once again. We were very disappointed with how mediocre the food was. Very nad service. For example, the server gave us a plate of onion, only to find out the I got charged for the poorly cut onion plate that I didn’t even order.
Long story short, only go if u want some indian food, but expect nothing spectacular.

Very good food
Fresh and delicious
Chicken masala was really tasty
Butter chicken was different but good taste
Place is really family going
We enjoyed our dinner
Will recommend if visiting falls

4 stars just for the food because the owner and the service here sucks. Since I stay in Buffalo and there are not many good options for Indian food in Buffalo, I visit this place quite often. The Guru happens to be the most nearest option for great Indian food which is right across the border. I just love this place and I have tried almost everything from their menu ;)
Tandoori chicken — Awesome
Seekh kebab — Good
Chicken malai tikka — Not so good
Chicken curry — The best
Chicken vindaloo — Good
Chicken tikka masala — Good
Butter chicken — okay
Chicken Biryani — Really good
Plain Naan and Garlic naan — soft and nice
See I already told you that I have had almost everything from their menu and they all taste so good. Also they offer fresh lime soda, which is good too. Guys do visit this place. And I will keep visiting Guru again and again. :)

Butter chicken was ok, but not great for the price. Naan was fresh and service was whatever as we came on a busy day.
It’s a bit pricey for average tasting food. But if you want Indian food this one is close to the casino and Clifton hill.

If you value your time and money don’t bother. Service was extremely slow. It took well over an hour to get our food. When I inquired with the waiter about what was going on he said the cook went to lunch, really you let your one «cook» go to lunch at 5 pm dinner time on a Saturday night. Food finally came and for the 45 bucks Canadian my wife and I spent we got 2 plates of rice 2 pieces of bread and 2 tiny bowls of tandoori. I was not impressed.

Not the best butter chicken I have ever had but it’s definitely on par– servers are pretty friendly and nice. I LOVE their naan. Freshly made and taste awesome.
Didn’t automatically get charged for gratuity in our bill… Guess we are lucky?

By far the best Indian food in Niagara region. Don’t listen to all the haters complaining about prices or servings. All you have to do is ask for two plates and you split the rice and chicken Tika. Portions are massive, friendly service since it’s family owned, parking is crud because it’s Clifton hill but what do you expect. Also if you live within the Niagara region you can get your gratuity charge removed. It’s not for «being satisfied» like that one pleb said but it’s for people who don’t tip and don’t live here, prove you live here and you can get it removed.

By far the best Indian food I’ve had in Canada!!! Must try the lamb curry with a green chilli and garlic naan (not on the menu but if you ask they will happily do it)

Customer beware: they do not serve rice /​roti with the entrée. We were charged separately for these. Also, they include they did not give us the bill, so we had no clue how much and what we really got charged for. This is because we have to pay the amount at the counter on our way out. This person was checking a bunch of folks out and who knows how she is keeping the table order straight. Also, they seemingly included the tip in our total bill amount. Once again since we did not know our bill amount but could only guess on basis of the menu presented, seems like they charged us upwards of 20% tip. This really hurt since the service was sub-​par.
Only silver lining to the experience was that the food was decent.

The manager was very rude. Not only he didn’t greet us properly but only asked «What do you want?» He then charged us $ 4 per bowl of rice. That’s $ 8 for 2 bowls of rice! There is no other restaurants that would ask for that kind of money for rice. Are we supposed to eat Chicken Tikka by itself if we don’t want to bread?

Food 4 stars always
Service 2 stars while they are busy and when not 3 stars
Worst part of this place is they charge the gratitude fee in bill only even if u r not happy with service still you have to pay for it
Plus the worst part is
Recently found out that for Asians they include the gratitude fee by default in bills but with white they don’t add it; and wait for them to pay
This is really ***** I respect everyone including our people too but this is discrimination of our community and it’s totally not fine
Please respect our people and stop charging like this
If they are happy with your service then surely they will pay tips and even if they won’t it’s still fine; they are not eating for free
Love and respect all
But food taste is really good

We had a wonderful dinner here last night. Chicken Vandaloo and Binyari with Chicken, both very tasty. The staff was warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed it.

Ordered Panneer Butter masala — It a mixture of tomato purée and hevy cream with panneer cubes in it.
Paneer Kuchran was ok. For Onions to eat, they charge you as 1 Salad price.
Expensive rates and the quantity of food was too less, just or 1 person.
We were 4 of us and they charged me 10% fixed gratuity in the bill.
I wouldnt suggest anyone to go this restaurant.

Wonderful food (we ordered the lime soda, mango lassi, butter chicken, and and a green chicken curry whose name I forget, along with naan. Everything was delicious, and stood out from most Indian food we’ve had.
The wait was a little long, though.

Worst experience in all these years!!!
These people are extremely rude and have no clue on how to treat customers. It’s as if they were doing us a favor by letting us eat in their restaurant. The owner /​manager (whoever she was) was incredibly impolite and could see other families complaining about service and the way she was treating everyone. She just walked away in mid sentence … No common sense on how to treat other human beings.
Food was overpriced and took enormously long to arrive at the table. The naan might have been fresh but was practically cold by the time the other food items arrived.
Find other places to eat.

Very tasty good and service was friendly and approachable. The restaurant itself was in decent shape and seemed very clean. I probably had the best tandoori chicken I’ve ever had but that’s not saying much. The tiki masala was also very good but the naan and rice were not included with the dishes.
We were sat right at the window seat and I swear everyone that walked by was staring at our meal, it even got a few people to come in and dine.
Considering there are almost at the heart of the tourist spot the prices weren’t bad at all.
All in all I was happy with my meal and would come back.

One of the better Indian cuisines in Niagara Falls (Canadian side) is here at the The Guru Indian cuisine restaurant.
This restaurant was pretty close to my hotel and I was looking around the Clifton Hill area for stuff to do and entertainment. I spotted this place and remembered the good Indian food that I had in Kansas City a few months before. I was on vacation, so i was like, sure, why not. I was joined by a new friend of mine whom I met here in Niagara Falls while sightseeing. The Guru Indian restaurant is located on Victoria Avenue on the Canadian side of the Falls. The restaurant itself had a nice ambiance and the décor seemed to be quite the romantic setting that was nice and intimate. They readily accept american credit cards, which is always great, so I don’t need to do the foreign exchange deal, if I don’t need to. Parking here is limited, so best bet would be street parking in the areas nearby and including Clifton Hill. The service here is relatively average and you get the same attention you would get at other places. Our server was pleasant and polite.
I ultimately ordered the lamb curry with rice. You usually can’t go wrong with that, can you? Something simple yet, elegant at the same time. The time I spent here was nice, especially after seeing the Falls and needed a nice evening to just chill out and relax here in Niagara Falls. My friend had ordered the Tandoori chicken and we shared dishes just to try. What transpired was that I thought I had pretty darn good chicken that came out of the tandoori oven and the curry was spicy, good, but not extraordinary. It was delicious and had that certain spicy goodness that only Indian curries do provide. The basmati rice was a good hit of flavor and overall a nice combination of ethnic savory taste and cuisine.
The Canadian side of Niagara Falls has a wide assortment of restaurants to select from. If you are craving Indian cuisine, one suggestion after a day of watching the Falls or taking in the Maid of the Mist boat ride is to have lunch or dinner here at The Guru Indian cuisine restaurant. The restaurant delivers good service, even though I thought it was average and good food. I would like to recommend this one, if you are in town and seek something else in your culinary palate, but not break the bank. Only issue would be the prices. It can be pricey here and you may be sticker shocked as I was. Still, it was a nice meal to spend with a friend — especially when we were both on vacation here in Canada.
Service here was good. You won’t be sorry! Its a good one to try!
Support local!

I ate at three indian restuarants while visiting Niagra Falls. (Yes, I was trying to please the parents– we ate pizza as our non-​indian meal once :)). But I have to say, I enjoyed Guru the most out of all three. I think Guru wins for price and taste, as well as location since it is more walkable.
Food: Everything we ate we enjoyed. The Tandoori chicken was so delish that we ordered an extra one, the naans were large, fluffy and flavorful. I forget which curry we got, but that was also pretty good as was the saag. My dad got a lassi which he enjoyed.
Basically, I give this place 5 stars because if I’m in town again, I will go back for sure.

This is a small Indian restaurant in the touristic area of niagara.
I came here with a few friends.
I ordered the matar paneer and the garlic naan. The food came really quickly. The food was amazing! The matar was kind of spicy so make sure you ask for mild if you don’t like spicy food. The naan was the best I have ever had!
My bill was just under $ 20, which isn’t too bad for this area.
Just keep in mind that you have to pay for parking.

My fiancé and I ordered the roti, curry chicken, and lamb. Had to order rice separately for the lamb bc it is not included. I ordered the nawabi lamb which I was recommended bc I can only handle mild spicy.
The roti is not like the Malaysian roti conai that I usually have in NY… It was just plain grilled bread or something. The curry chicken sauce is medium spicy… My lamb was amazing!!!
I have read reviews about how the dish is tiny and basically lacking in quantity. I disagree on quantity, bc my steamed rice was plenty. I gave half to my fiancé and just poured in my curry lamb. This now looks complete! It was a huge portion!!! The amount you will find in take out boxes. Don’t be fooled by the tiny bowl the curry and meat comes in. I found so much lamb in my little bowl of curry. I ate half my rice and all my curry, and I was stuffed. The curry was amazing, and I highly recommend the lamb I ordered!!!
That is all. My first meal in Canada aye!
