About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Open for dine-in

Utsav is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning festival. An integral part of Indian culture, Indian festivals are innumerable and equally varied in origin from the Himalayan foothills to the Peninsula's tip and food plays a very prominent part of the festive events.



Each dish has its own distinctive flavor and aroma, thanks to the fresh spices that are prepared everyday for each individual dish. The blending and preparation of fresh spices is a centuries old exacting craft, which is indispensable to Indian cuisines.

    A true hidden gem in Yorkville! The food at Utsav is phenomenal — I'd honestly say it's the best Indian food in Toronto. Every dish was bursting with flavour, and you can taste the attention to detail in every bite. The depth and balance of the spices show real craft and care in the kitchen. If you're looking for authentic, incredible Indian food in the city, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish.

    The restaurant was a perfect setting for our group of 6. The lunch menu came with generous portions of rice and naan and the dishes were flavourful and well-executed. We ordered the lamb roganjosh, saag, madrasi, and butter chicken for protein, and the aloo gobi (cauliflower and potato) and bhindi (okra) for vegetables. All were excellent and highly recommended. Thank you Utsav for hosting us!

    The food is so delicious, and the service is great. I do wish the menus and the cleanliness overall (menus, floors, tables, washrooms) was kept to the same standards of the quality of the food.

    Well prepared, home style cooking. Flavourful dishes, spiced moderately and representative of north Indian cuisines.
