Delicious! 5 of us, we all ordered the lunch platter! Yummm, finger licking good !
Best Indian food in town, or I must say the only Indian food place in town. Food quality is 5 star and the taste is by far the best I have enjoyed. My taste buds can't thank more. Thank you guys for making such good food. I highly recommend this place.
Amazing food and service … must go Indian place in Orillia
There should be music in the restaurant .. otherwise food is exellent
The BEST Indian in Orillia (and Barrie). I recently moved to Orillia from Barrie and have already order a handful of times from 5 Rivers. Their customer service is excellent! The FOOD just incredible, true Indian spices and flavour. I lived in Barrie for years and 5 Rivers surpasses any Indian Restaurant I have ordered from. The owner is very friendly and personable. I especially enjoy their size options (medium and large) as my experience in the past with other Indian restaurants is that there is only one size and then you end up with too many left overs. The medium size is a perfect amount and allows us to enjoy more than one dish while staying in our take out budget. Highly recommend!
Fantastic authentic Indian food and great service.
This is our go to take out place for Orillia. We have tried a lot of places in the area and honestly - most of them aren’t very good. We’ve ordered from here 3 times in one week (don’t judge us). We are originally from Toronto - we have high standards for Indian food and this place is the BOMB. Trust me and try it. Also the family that runs it are always so kind. Thank you for the yummy food!!
Absolute best Indian food I’ve ever had. My husband and I just moved out of the area and we miss 5 Rivers so much (we drove an hour out of the way multiple times to get it when staying at our cottage). It was our go-to takeout restaurant for many months. Fantastic food, wonderful service and great prices. I would highly recommend anyone passing through or living in the area give it a try.
We only had some starters on our way through. The food and service were great. The flavours are very authentic!
Great indian cuisine place in orillia. Spicy taste and great staff.
Amazing food! Each item is freshly prepared and beautifully presented. Darjit was attentive and knowledgeable. This is our new favourite restaurant.
Without a doubt one of the best Indian Restaurants in Simcoe County. Having lived in Toronto and being a frequent visitor of Little India, I didn’t think it was possible to get such delicious and authentic food here. While there are a few new chain restaurants in the city, this mom and pop restaurant is the real deal. I order the lunch special which is their Thali plate. If you are not sure what to order, this is what you want as it is a little bit of everything. Reasonably priced considering everything is made from scratch—including the spices.
Great Indian food in the city. Little extra oil..and some items can be improved... nevertheless definite choice for Indian food In Orillia.
Yummy authentic Indian Food, taste like home made food healthy N tasty.
You need to wait 1:30 hour for the food
Really good food
Fantastic food, we have eaten here 4 times and each time we are so happy to have Indian food of this quality in Orillia. No need to head south anymore to get your fix. Eat in or take out you will not be disappointed.
Food was amazing.
The food is really good and the staff are very happy to help new comers and people who arent familiar with the food
Absolutely sensational!!! Order ahead as they are always busy.
Had a great fun with family..... The food is plentiful and very wholesome with exceptional service.....
Good place for indian food in Orillia. I always stop for their delicious stuffed paronthas on the way to huntsville
This place surprised me to another level. I wont brag about food, as its beyond explanation and a review won't justify the quality and taste of food. What moved my heart is about this place - Extremely clean like mirror shine, amazing staff - but hey actually there is no staff. Its a family running restaurant and they all are participating in running. Mom-dad are the chef behind the magical food served and brothers managing the front side for serving and managing the customer. Didn't feel i came to a restaurant, its like you have visited some family members whom you haven't seen, visited and spoken in years. So if you are in area, and missing mom cooked food and gossip with brothers then this is the place you wouldn't wanna miss.
Yummy,good portion size.
Absolutely delicious!!
Great food. The best ingredients. Exquisite. Friendly service
Great vegetarian food. Tarka dal, aloo palak are amazing.
(Translated) Come here !!! MMMMMMMMMMMM (Original) So goooooood!!! MMMMMMMMMMM
Amazing food! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Had the veg thali and chicken biryani.
Excellent, real food made from quality ingredients. Very friendly, helpful staff in a clean, modern restaurant environment. I shall return.
Had it over the weekend, the food is amazing. Chicken biryani and butter chicken are so flavourful, the butter chicken sauce is perfect. HIGHLY recommend the channa samosas.
They are saying that they deliver but they don't and making excuses that they don't have enough staff so.
Awesome Indian food in Orillia! Must-try. We had a number of curries, biryani and breads in our takeout and everything was well-prepared and flavourful. Pro tip- enjoy their amazing food at a bench in Kitchener Park and enjoy the beautiful lake views!
Went to this restaurant on a weeknight possibly the best Indian food I have ever had met the owner and family true family atmosphere will be going back!!!
It's definitely upscale compared to Alladins but extremely good food and great service.
Best Indian cuisine I've had since I moved north from Toronto. Highly recommend 5 Rivers the portions were very generous, the food was fresh hot and the staff was very friendly. I definitely will be returning.
People kept telling me to try this place ... they were so right. So much flavour, definitely add some samosas to each order!
we are friends with sarsi. this food is good
Air-conditioned atmosphere, extremely flavourful food, and fantastic service. If you like Indian food this is the joint for you.. finally Orillia has a great Indian offering.
The worse service ever. They don't even know how to speak with customers.There Food could be good but there service is so bad.
We cherish their food!
Came out of town and found this nice little spot. Excellent excellent food and very friendly service! Love it and will visit again. Highly recommended!!
5 Rivers has simply great food. The flavours are excellent. We always get the vegetarian options and order early, because making great food takes time, and there are no compromises being made by the chef. Highly recommended.
Hands down the best Indian food I've ever had. Everything we got was impeccable...will be dreaming of the masala, butter chicken and aloo gobi until our next encounter.
Best Indian food I have ever tasted !!!
So excited to have such great Indian food in Orillia! Everything we’ve tried has been fantastic. Try the saag - you won’t be disappointed!
Absolutely delicious. No complaints. The sauce tasted homemade with fresh ingredients and spices. The chicken was so tender! Great paneer!
Yum punjabi food
The staff are friendly, food is delicious with lots of flavour, reminds me of back in India. Definitely recommend 5 Rivers!
The place is calm and the food was amazing
Best Indian food in area and very hospitable service. Try the Saag its made very traditionally.
Tried Five Rivers for the first time yesterday and were totally impressed. Highly recommend the Karahi Paneer and Shrimp Masala. So flavorful and just the right amount of heat (we asked for medium & medium+). The vegetable samosas were also a tasty treat. Don't skip the Naan, it's delicious. We'll definitely return!
Ordered here as was looking to try some new places since I just moved to the area. 10/10. Super clean interior, best curry I've had in years, super nice staff. Worth the wait for takeout One note for during covid times- their machine doesn't let you tip?!
Family run convenience and Restaurant next door. Deserves more then 5 stars as impeccable service and the friendliest people. If your into tile this is a beautiful tile MECCA ! Very shiny ☀️
All the 5 star reviews you seeing are all from friends and family or bought. Firstly, the person attending to us was arrogant and when we said the meat was not cooked he rudely told us that that’s how it’s cooked as if we haven’t ever eaten meat before. Secondly, the food is nooooooooooo where close to what Indian cuisine tastes like. It’s too tomatoey & has a lot of turmeric. It’s a disgrace calling it and serving us this good in the name of Indian cuisine. The goat biryani was nothing like a biryani I was sooooo disappointed... It’s not all negative for how the place is kept. It’s clean and maintained well but what’s the point of having such a spotless place that serves terrible food...never going to come again nor suggest this place.
This place is fantastic! Really, really good food and warm and friendly staff ????
Great food , great taste and awesome services by baljeet singh????????
The food, service and restaurant was amazing!! We will be back, thank you!
Very good Indian food..the flavors were just right in all the food..
Food is fantastic and staff is accommodating. I would visit again for sure.
Excellent service and fantastic Indian cuisine make this a real treat.
Excellent food and service. The new owners are amazing at what they do . The place is spotless and everything tastes fantastic.
Says dine in but when you arrive there is a sign at the front saying take out only.
The best food I’ve ever tasted 10/10
All the people saying that there food is not good I think they are just focusing on all the bad things the restaurant is new so don’t make your standards to high so quickly
I've tried all kinds of Indian restaurants out and hands down these guys give you a great deal for a heaping portion of scrumptious spicy food. ( I do ask for it extra spicy, but who goes to an Indian restaurant looking for bland?) Highly recommend!
Delicious Punjabi food (Punjab - 5 rivers). We ordered Butter chicken, chicken biryani and gulab jamun ( sugar bombs lol). Will definitely go back.
The best east indian food I've ever had! Little India in on Queen W used to be my favourite, now i can get as good or better in my hometown! Bravo! Highly recommended!
Wow!!! These guys are the real deal. Passion: top level. Food quality: top level. Flavors next level. I needed to provide lunch for my buddy's birthday on a Friday morning during Corona for 20 people. I called these guys at 1015 am and needed to serve lunch at noon and I was still early! I ordered a custom catering package on the fly with whatever my heart desired and was charged a beyond fair price per person. The quality and portions exceeded expectations. We had plenty of leftovers. Highlights included the driver that went to pick up the food being tortured the whole way back with the savory aroma of spices filling the car. Also my buddy and his guests that thought I had put so much effort into getting his birthday lunch catered and had no idea how lucky I was to get this quality last minute.
Amazing food. Super pleased to have good Indian food in Orillia, finally!
One of the best Indian style tea served, must visit for all tea lover
Really good Indian taste ambiance is awesome. However the quantity is not worth.
Delicious and fresh Indian food! Made to order and served hot. Followed the directions on order. Highly recommend family owned, authentic Indian restaurant in the area!
Amazing Indian food!!
The food is literally a tropical island in my mouth and the service is ???? amazing
We loved it! Was very fresh and tasty, reasonably priced. My wife doesn't even like Indian food and she was over the top about how much she enjoyed it. Would recommend
Very authentic taste and welcoming hospitality.
From out of town. Food is amazing. Excellent service. Friendly staff and great restaurant.
Excellent food.
Good food , reasonable prices, tasty pizza. They used to be pure vegetarian but then changed to non vegetarian.
Food was very good and the customer service was also good. The guy at the counter was very friendly.
Really happy to see the Indian cuisine taken over by new owners.. The food is really tasty, good customer service, well neat . Sad that I wasn't able to enjoy the dine in due to the pandemic. Good if they have patio dine-in or outside seating. Looks really great ????..Price is also decent and worth it.
Very good customer service. Family owned. Nominal prices and very good food.
Best chole tikki I have ever had!Was lip-smacking ????besides I ordered kulcha and medium veg kofta...the quantity was sufficient for 1 person with average appetite...and taste was overall good...restaurant offered realistic preparation time and adhered to it...will definitely reorder next time we are in Orillia and surroundings????
Excellent place for food. Always make sure to order in advance. Do not try to walk in and order.
Been to many South Asian restaurants, this is one of the best. Great food!
Best indian food in Orillia. You have try by urself and judge the quality. Butter Chicken was just amazing.
Absolutely the cleanest family run restaurant I've seen, plus the food was world class!
It’s like I never tasted food before. I am so happy right now
Very delicious and kind stuff.
I staff is amazing and very hard working and the food they make is just out of this world, plus the place is beautiful : )
Super good food! I had the goat, rice with cauliflower and started with picoras. Great for two. Clean and modern. Mmmm.
Bit disappointed
FREAKIN AMAZING!! We are so lucky to have such authentic Indian cuisine here in Orillia! Staff are great, flavors are excellent and our whole family loves it!
Must visit the place. Specially, i love the authentic Indian Tea. Excellent custmor service.
Come here and eat, do it
I come to Orillia for two days a week for work. And I never forget to have their chhole bhature and Gajrela. Perfection always reflects from their food. keep up your good work guys.
The place looks attractive.And the customer service is great. But thebiriyani they serve is not actually biriyani. Boiled basmati rice served with some boiled chicken and onion can never be called a biriyani I guess. Not sure about other dishes though.
So good! Fresh ingredients, well spiced and so so tasty! Got take out as it is COVID and they made great suggestions over the phone as it was my first time ordering from this restaurant. Friendly service and VERY clean restaurant when I went to pick up. Can’t wait to try more!
Excellent Indian food - just like what we ate in India!! You can taste all the various spices in each bite. All the dishes we ordered had their own individual flavour.
Ordered food couple of times when we went to Orrilia on a Family trip. It was so good. Honestly, we two Indian families were not expecting much with an Indian restaurant in Orrilia but god we were surprised. Seekh kebab, chicken Tikka, chicken curry, paneer, alu parantha all were so good( not as spicy as we would have liked,but still good) Their Tea is a must must have. So refreshing. All in all, very happy with the quality, taste and quantity of food. Owner was very humble and nice.
An amazing restaurant... clean..professional....great vegetarian food..so happy they are in our small town ..no need to ever go to Toronto for good indian food.
Amazing flavours..
The food is amazing! The service is great!
The food was fresh and very tasty, we enjoyed it very much. Would recommend it to everyone. Carlos Cordeiro
butter chicken is awesome.
Excellent food and friendly service.
Great food great price :)
The food is always amazing, staff is super nice and the restaurant is always so immaculately clean. We order from here as often as we can
Wow. The food they serve is really very delicious and tasty. The staff is very polite and well dressed.
Great customer service. Food is also delicious.
Went here yesterday this is the best Indianfood I have ever had very polite and a very clean place will be going back for sure will recommend for sure
Fantastic place great food and super friendly people to serve you
The best indian food ive ever had! I have to have it at least once a week lol, i recommend this place to everyone
Great food and great service. Ordered samosas and pakora for take out, and are looking forward to dinning in.
Love this place. Food is excellent.
Absolutely amazing. Thank you for choosing Orillia. We will definitely be back
Stopped by here on the way home from the cottage and loved the food! They have a great food selection and everything is so fresh. Would definitely stop by again on my next cottage trip!
Excellent food that is prepared when you ask for it - no hot plate mushy purées.
Great customer service, incredibly polite. Would reccomend to anyone!
Food is great! Been going for the last couple weeks and ordering different things from the menu. My family enjoys the foods too! They're very helpful at explaining the menu and how everything is. The desserts are very delicious too!
Excellent! food and service! A great new restaurant in Orillia we went tonight food is made to order exactly as you wanted. A great addition to the mundane restaurants we have. Great if you like true Indian and the new clean environment is welcome.The only suggestion I have is that they dim the lighting and put on some authentic Indian music!!!
We've already visited 4 times since the restaurant reopened and have tried a number of the chicken & vegetarian dishes. Everything is very flavourful and tasty. I particularly enjoyed the vegetable biryani, shahi paneer and veg kofta. My parents have enjoyed the butter chicken, chicken tikka curry and tandoori chicken tikka. We've enjoyed everything we've tried and will be back again soon. The restaurant makeover looks great. Highly recommend.
It is a gem of a place hidden in Orillia. It is the closest you can get to homely authentic Indian food. The food is prepared fresh and likely I will rate it as one of the best Indian restaurant, I have come across in North America! It is not a fine dining expensive experience, however it has great food and ambience. My wife and I stopped by yesterday for lunch and ended up ordering lot more food to take home and enjoy for the next couple of meals. I highly recommend this restaurant.
This is just what was needed a great new restaurant beautiful inside food amazing just like back home
Some of the best food ever. Fresh. Tasty. Well prepared. Service great. Authentic punjabi Indian food. I won't go to Barrie or Toronto now to eat this food. It is a delight to this level of cuisine right here in Orillia. Expect this place to be busy in the future.
Best home-made Indian Food!!! Freshness 5/5, Quality/Taste -5/5, Service 5/5. We were staying at a resort 35 minutes away and specially drove to have meal here most of the times... esp. for Mom like Tawa Roti and delicious Dal Makhni which we ended up ordering for take out aswell. They have rare find dishes like Arbi, Karele too. Family owned cozy place with home like dinning taste. Loved it.
Today I did a takeout order from 5 river and I am so satisfied. Everything was really good and freshly made. The taste was great.
The food is delicious, fresh and full of flavor. The service is friendly. This is a great place to eat in Orillia!
We order lunch from here almost every week - amazing flavours, lots of variety and super friendly staff! Would 10/10 recommend.
Delicious food and great Service ????????????????
Amazing food . Love it
We ordered mutton curry and mutton biryani, mutton was uncooked. Probably it was not fresh. Mutton biryani was more like yellow rice, it did not have any biryani flavor. We also ordered fish masala and chicken curry which was good and fish was fresh.
Amazing food! Service was excellent. Professional staff members. We will be back. I highly recommend it.
Love the personal service...amazing & delicious dishes cooked fresh to your taste...mild, medium or spicy... Samosas are the best served with sweet and spicy sauces
The best authentic Indian food you'll find in Orillia! Don't waste your time looking for better, these guys are the Cats meow!! Great job guys!!
Best place for chai in Canada. Must try for everyone.
5 Rivers is hands down the best Indian food I have ever tasted. Their menu is thoughtfully crafted to provide an explosion of flavour in each dish. If you are in Orillia, this is a must try!
Excellent food at a good price
Fresh and delicious with generous servings.
Best Indian food in the REGION. Fresh, authentic, delicious. Great service. Must try!
Flavour was good but took a bit for my order. Could have just been a busy night
Absolutely delicious!
These guys have done a great job renovating and making sure the quality of the product is where it needs to be. I particularly love the Goat curry and their pakoras (all types). The spice level is exactly what I expect when I ask for medium or hot. I really enjoy the dishware used when the food is served dine-in but takeout holds up at home just as well since we can't eat in right now.
Nice heat with abundance of flavour. Very clean and relaxing.
Very clean restaurant. Fresh and tasty food for reasonable prices.
Wow wow wow! Amazing flavors and textures...The chicken korma has little pieces of cashews...yum! the raita is so delicious I can eat it all on its own! I was actually just having a little leftovers from the meal and I didn't even warm it and it was almost as amazing cold as when we first had it. I am not from Orillia ... But I would make a point of visiting again whenever I'm in the area!! GREAT JOB!
Thank youuuu! We liked the food A specific thanks to Modu ????????????????????????
They serve u the best food here . Hospitality is something u have to appreciate . You won’t get as fresh n delicious food anywhere in this area . Highly recommended if u love Indian food .
We had Palak, Chana Masala, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, and Steamed Basmati, for take out (only option right now, due to COVID). Every single dish was bursting with flavour, even the rice! Featured: some leftovers. ???? We STILL have more left... 5/5 rating in my opinion. Great food and very friendly staff. Edit** we had veggie samosas as well but they didn't make it home. ????
Wow this restaurant has improved so significantly with the new owners/operators. The food is delicious. Congratulations and good luck. Welcome to Orillia.
Great people and food
This place is the best! Used to live in Brampton and have been to many places in the GTA for Indian cuisine, and this place tops them all. Recently I moved up to the north bay area and there's nowhere that has any authentic or enjoyable food when I'm craving Indian. Now when I'm going south to see friends or family it's becoming a tradition to bring some 5 rivers home with me, and it's always such a treat. When I call they're very patient and helpful with my ordering, and the dishes are always the best quality. I especially love the paneer masala, it's like art how beautiful and creamy the gravy is. Honestly, if you're looking for Indian food do yourself a favour and try this restaurant, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Some of the best Indian food I have ever had. We've eaten from here a bunch of times, and everything is always phenomenal (but make sure to get the aloo palak). It's looks so unassuming from the outside, but do yourself a favour and try it out. Staff are great and really accommodating.
Always a delicious lunch specials, both vegetarian and butter chicken. Very friendly service.
After a very long time had a great Biriyani
Fresh, Spicy enough, finally good Indian food in Orillia -Vikram Singh Chandel
Good one in orillia, recomended
Tasty . Surprising for the location . Since more towards the vegetarian, not having much chicken in the chicken Biriyani Didn’t bother me . It might for a meat eater though .
Wow, amazing Indian food! About time Orillia got a proper Indian restaurant. Tried the Karahi and Vindaloo chicken along with cauliflower rice and all three were absolutely fantastic!!!
Amazing service and delicious food ????
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! Best Indian food I’ve ever tasted. Dishes are bursting with flavour and have the perfect spice level. Will be ordering from here again and again.
By far the best tikka masala I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. For those in the area who aren’t aware, this restaurant is under new management and extensive Renos have been done. Sorry to say, but the place before it was an absolute dump you wouldn’t catch me dead in. This place is an absolute treasure though! They have done an amazing job with the place and the food is incredible. I highly recommend (message to the owner, my real name is Phil and we met today for the first time of many)
Amazing food. Real indian taste. Nice decor. Will surely come again
Excellent quality and amazing taste . Highly recomend this place to those who love indian food . This place is extremely clean .
absolutely amazing!!! seriously you just need to trust the reviews n try it! everything ive gotten has been insanely delicious and i have barely skimmed the surface of the menu. love coming here and everyone is so nice =)
This is some of the best Indian food I have had! So fresh and tasty. The restaurant is very nice and inviting. Great owners.
Must visit for Masala Chai
Food and décor - AMAZING
Food is so delicious
First time today. I ordered curry chicken spicy and a mild butter chicken. Spot on how i expect Indian food. Guys were friendly, food was on time on pickup. Make sure to order a rice or naan on the side..WOW will return, highly recommended from me, if your experience is as mine was, definitely wont leave disappointed
My husband brings home food for us to try. I'm not big on spicy foods, but what I've had so far is very tasty. I love the puri and butter naan.
This is the best place if you're into Indian food. Easily five stars.
It was the best Thali I ever had
Some of the best Indian food We've had! My partner and I live in Toronto near Little India, have tried countless restaurants and this one puts many of them to shame. We are vegetarian and ordered the Palak Paneer - not made with any cream, but a very nice silk-y texture - Shahi Paneer - Similar to a Paneer Makhani/ Butter Chicken type sauce, a little less sweet but more complex spice blend - and the Vegetarian Mutton - A loose-er onion gravy, with nice chunks of Soy Protein with a Chicken-like texture. Also got Basmati rice, regular Naan bread and Garlic Naan, both heated up nice in our hotel microwave and were nice and chewy. Placed our order the day before, the people there were very friendly and it was made right on time to pick up on new years eve...made our night :) Will be sure to come back next time we are in the Orillia area!
Gobi Pakore freshly cooked- Awesome taste Tea- very delicious and tasty....
Had dinner tonight at 5 Rivers, food was excellent friendly and attentive service. Kudos to the new owners, it's night and day from the previous Aladdin restaurant.
love the food ,is the best
