Tandoori Time is one of the best indian restaurants in Toronto for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Etobicoke.

Tandoori Time on Albion Road is not chasing a moment — it is, by all accounts, already an institution.

Editorial review•Jun 10, 2026

Tandoori Time on Albion Road is not chasing a moment — it is, by all accounts, already an institution. Halal-certified and operating since 1997, this price-point-one Etobicoke kitchen is run by management with over two decades of international hotel and food-service experience, and that operational depth reportedly shows in the consistency: a kitchen that can hold volume across a packed Friday dinner without the food falling apart. In a corner of the city that deserves exactly this kind of dependable, deeply flavoured anchor, that track record is genuinely meaningful. The Chicken Biryani is the dish regulars point to when explaining why they drive past closer options. By reputation, fresh mint and herbs do serious aromatic work inside the rice layers, and the stew element is credited with keeping the chicken tender and the biryani cohesive throughout — not the dry, clumped version that disappoints elsewhere. The Butter Chicken is described as boneless tandoori chicken finished in butter, tomato, and cream; the tandoor step before the sauce is what the menu leans on to distinguish it from a straightforward pot-simmered preparation. The Lamb Biryani is consistently characterized as running deeper and spicier than the chicken version, making it worth ordering alongside rather than instead of the Chicken Biryani when you're at a table that can split both. The hand-made naan comes directly from the tandoor, and the dining room is positioned so guests can watch it being prepared — a practical detail that makes the room feel engaged rather than anonymous. The setup: cozy booths, group-friendly spacing, and ample parking off Albion Road. A second location exists on Jane Street, but the Albion Road original is where the institutional character reportedly concentrates. Get there early on a weekend evening before the family groups claim the booths, and anchor the table with both biryanis and the Butter Chicken alongside that fresh naan.

What separates Sinjeon Topokki & Bar on Bloor from the rotating cast of Korean concepts arriving in Toronto is provenance with a point.
