Tried buffet, I've gone to Scarborough location regularly before few years. This location is good too. There's still room for improvement though. Also, instead of songs, if they turn on "tarak Mehta ka oolta chasma" Maja avi jai.

Great experience at Govardhan Thal in Etobicoke! The buffet had so many delicious options, and everything tasted fresh. The service was amazing, special thanks to Manan and Urvish for being so helpful and always smiling. And at $21 per person including tax on weekends, it’s super affordable. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience. Food was delicious and brought us back down the memory lane of authentic Gujarat style dining hall experience. We were not made to wait on the weekend which was a big plus. Icing on the cake was thier customer service. Staff was polite, had smiles on their faces and one could feel they really wanted to offer best dining experience to their customers. Way to go. We really appreciate they didn't charge for the kids under thr age of ten. Another leaf other buffet restaurant should take out of thier book. I am sure they will grow and improve over the period of time. This was our first but definitely not the last time purely based on how we were treated as customers.

The ambiance was welcoming and gave a real homely feel. A big thanks to Mann for the excellent service — very polite and attentive. Also, thanks to Manan for the warm hospitality and making sure we had a great dining experience. Highly recommend Goverdhan Thal to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Gujarati food with great service!
