No frills Indian restaurant with great food, good portions, and decent service and atmosphere. It's a good deal for the price.

It's such a perfect, delicious hidden gem. Very relaxed, homey atmosphere. Authenticly delicious food. Our (4) samosas were forgotten, so we'll see if they will just give them to us next time line they promised. Either way, I do love this place!

A little restaurant that you must not miss. The food is absolutely THE bomb, it's quality and flavors are top tier. The service is excellent, everyone is kind and helpful, the samosas are spicy and flavorful. The best!!!

Service was incredibly odd. The young man who took our order was weird to a point where we had wished someone else would handle us because of how uncomfortable things got. Not particularly attentive either. But...

That aside the food was fine, and incredibly decently priced. They even had specials including Baigan Bharta and it was great. They didn't have Naan available which was a bummer but overall I'd say this is a decent option for Indian food in the area.

The food is nice no doubt. But beware during payment. They forcefully take tips from you (Even they don’t bother to ask). They should ask and ensure from people before taking any extra money.
However a good learning…

My original review was 5 stars but I've since had to edit.

My family has been coming here for so many years, the entire staff knows us by name. They have some of the best prices on authentic Indian food in the state. The atmosphere is also very homey.

Recently, we noticed a sign in the window (see picture) that made us feel unwelcome and unsafe. We'll be going to other places in the area instead.

Last visit not good. Very different than what we expect from them. The service was slow and very inconsistent. I asked for my dish spicy and it came out with cinnamon sticks innit and tasted like sugar. They made it sweet. Not spicy. It was awful, but didnt have heart to tell them. Why would spicy come out super sweet. Unedible sweet. It was my wife and I 5 year wedding anniversary and it was bad. We love their food we wanted them for that meal. I should have showed them and let taste. It truly made em question going back beacuse that is a huge mistake. I said hot and spicy. Not Vindaloo spice but hot. And they made it sweet. Wow!! The gentleman taking care of us seemed like he did not know what doing. Maybe we go back. Unsure.
Amazing Indian place on Hope St that is 100% authentic. I'll let you know a secret!?!? We were on our way to Rassoi, which we often frequent, but stopped here instead and wow were we impressed! They also have a spice place across the street, where they are actually able to deliver authentic spices across to Just Snacks to make authentic, tasty and clean Indian meals. My wife and I had stuffed Aloo Tikki, lentil soup, garlic Naan, Chicken Vindaloo and Tikki Masala. All very good and some outstanding and a few best I have ever had in life. The Naan was the best Naan I have ever had and their Stuffed Aloo Tikki was the best I had ever eaten. My wife said her Tikki Masala was outstanding. My Vindaloo had all the right spices and just the right amount of Vindaloo heat. Some places want to kill with you heat, but forget the flavor of the dish and others vice versa. Not Just Snacks hits the flavor profile and heat perfectly! If I had to give something back it is the Lentil soup. It is not that it wasn't good. It was, but out of everything else it wasn't the best as everything else was. Wonderful meal. We can't wait to be back !! Thanks Not Just Snacks!
