Very Clean restaurant presentation is very nice. I dined in for the prantha, two big pranthas , but they taste ok ok to me as everybody have a different taste. Their gulab jamun with rabdi was good. And the staff is very polite and helpful. Good open parking in the front.

We visited to enjoy the high tea experience, which coincided with Ladies Time. The high tea selection was generally good—some items stood out more than others. We especially enjoyed the puff, samosa, and sandwich. The paneer burger, however, was just average and could be improved in terms of flavor. The motichoor laddu dessert was delightful, and the scone was fresh and flavorful—not dry at all. The cream served alongside complemented it perfectly. We also tried the pakora fondue. While the fondue was a nice touch, the pakoras were so flavorful on their own that the fondue wasn’t really necessary. The only disappointment was the paan falooda. It tasted more like a typical rose falooda despite the menu description mentioning rose syrup and paan gulkand. The expected paan flavor just didn’t come through. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with good food, a lovely atmosphere, and excellent service.

The cultural lineage of this place is certainly interesting, since from what I understand, this is the only Canadian location of an Indian restaurant from Japan. The restaurant is beautiful with both Indian and Japanese design sensibilities. They have a table service restaurant with both high tea and an extensive a la carte menu, and it looks like you can also buy mithai in bulk. The food isn't really Japanese-Indian fusion as you might expect, but more like Japanese impression of Indian food, if that makes sense? There's a few hints of Japanese and Asian influence, but the menu is mostly modern Indian. I wanted to try the afternoon tea set to get a wide sampling of their offerings. The set included: corn spinach puff, paneer tikka slider, cream cheese cucumber sandwich, samosa, chutneys for dipping, manchurian skewers, orange cranberry scone with whipped cream, rose rasmalai cake, dodha crunch, motichoor cheesecake parfait, and the choice between masala chai, coffee, or hot/iced caffe latte. It's $32/person for the set, which is a great price. I also appreciated that it was possible to order the set for just one person since it seems like many teahouses will only do it for 2+ people. I thought all of the items in the set were pretty good, and there was a balance between the sweet and savoury items. The only things that really left anything to be desired were that the scone was a bit dry and crumbly, and I thought the tandoori paneer could have been more flavourful. In general the flavours of the savoury items were a bit more subtle than in typical authentic Indian food, but for the most part it didn't come across as bland to me, just a different take on it. The standouts in the set were: the paneer slider - even if the paneer itself didn't impress, I loved the almost flaky texture of the pav - the manchurian, and the rose rasmalai cake. Also, the cream cheese cucumber sandwich had cilantro or chutney or something in the cream cheese which made it much more interesting than the plain version of this sandwich. The masala chai (my chosen drink) was also very good. It was served in a pot that contained 2 small servings. My waiter was very friendly and stopped by a few times to check in. When I was done eating and wanted my bill, it was easy to get his attention. I visited at what seemed like a quiet time so I didn't have much competition for attention. One thing that I thought was odd was when he gave me the machine to pay, there was no tip option - it would be cool if they had a no-tip policy, but I never saw any mention of it, so I wonder if he accidentally bypassed the tip when putting in my charge. It was an interesting and enjoyable experience. I came from Vancouver and it was worth the trip!

I came here with my best friend for the first time and overall the food was really good! We ordered the gol gappe shots, corn cheese bites, honey chilli fries, a blonde hazelnut latte and a passion fruit chill drink. Everything was flavourful and well prepared. However the service could’ve been better. The servers didn’t come back to refill our cups of water and they didn’t check up on us to ask if we needed anything else. When I saw them near our table I had to call them myself before they came over. A little more attentiveness would’ve made the experience even better.

If you want to have good indian deserts. This is the place to do it. Do not be misled by the name as the name is due to the first location being opened in Tokyo. The best gulab jamoon with rabdi and kesar rasmalai. Definitely coming back here.

There are so many new chai places in Surrey, so today we decided to check out Tokyo Mithai Wala near Payal Business Centre. We were seated quickly and ordered the avocado chat, croquettes and aloo tikki chat. Each dish came with great presentation but also a bit of kick! I needed a refill on my water which took a few minutes to get the attention of the server. The avocado chat was crispy and reminded me a bit of the avocado rolls from Cheesecake Factory. The croquettes were delicious with a cheesy centre and crispy exterior. The wasabi sauce was also a pleasant addition. To pay we also waited and ended up going to the till to settle the bill. The chai we ordered also took quite some time and was brought to the table well after we finished our snacks. Overall was a good experience and would return.
