Ancila's Indian Cuisine - Mississauga

The positive reviews are spot on. This place was empty when attended to pick up my take out, but the aroma from the kitchen was awesome. The owner (Ancila) is such a nice lady and she was finishing up my order when I arrived. My order was Mutton Biryani, Butter Chicken, 2 garlic and 3 plan naan's. The total was just under $40.00. When I got home and looked and the portion sizes, I thought I did not order enough food. I was surprised how rich and filling the food was. I can tell you that everything is made fresh and per order. I usually go to Nirvana for my food, but this will be my new favourite spot. Ancila's is very authentic Bombay style cooking.

Had a meal at Ancilla's and it was a culinary experience. Owner started by asking me what my spice level was, found that quite intriguing, She then prepared a custom meal and mentioned it would take hour hour to prepare as she does fresh food. Was worth the wait. Had Mutton biryani and butter chicken.

This is one of our family's go to places. The menu is small, but everything is fresh, made to order and customized to your pice preference. Ancilla is always there and always willing to speak with you. It is great to visit and have her ask about our son and have her remember his preferences. The dal mahkni and the paneer mahkni are the best you will have anywhere and are worth the visit to Mississauga. Just call before you come and visit for dinner. She will sometimes customize her hours of operation.

I have just returned from my hotel after an excellent meal at Ancila's. Although we were given the menu Ancila came from the kitchen to ask the spice tolerance of our palates. On a scale of 1 to 10 I went for an 8 or 9 so Ancila excitedly informed me she had a recipe, of her own, which was cooked in the Bombay style. All I can say is Wow! The curry was packed with flavours and had a good level of heat from the green chillies. I had it with a garlic Naan. The service was a little slow but as Ancila explained "All meals are made by me and to order". Well worth the wait. I will be back!

Ate here while traveling with four co-workers after work on a Thursday evening. No problem getting a table but we did call ahead to place our order. Ancila was very accommodating, even to my vegan diet. Ordered chicken and vegetarian and vegan dishes. All were great. And seemingly healthier than other Indian restaurants I've been to (not over loaded with ghee). Medium spicy is spicy but tasty. Hope to be able to return before heading back home.
