" The snacks here are definitely authentic and taste great, especially the Fafda and Kachori. But I found the service to be very hit or miss. One visit, the staff were kind, and the food was fresh. On my next visit, they were quite rude. The atmosphere is non-existent since there’s no dine-in option. I appreciate that it’s cash only, as it often helps keep prices low, but it’s a hassle to find an ATM every time I want to visit. " (*Curated Review*)
" While on a short visit to Toronto, I made a stop at Sai-Lila. I had heard about their Dhoklas, and they did not disappoint. However, I expected a bit more from the staff interaction. They were busy and seemed uninterested in engaging with customers. The food was quite good, but it would be nice to feel a warmer vibe upon entering the shop. If you don't have cash, the nearest ATM can be found about a block away. Despite the service hiccups, the Khaman and other snacks are worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)
" Here’s the truth: Sai-Lila Khaman Dhokla House has some of the best authentic Gujarati food I have tasted abroad. Their Khaman is soft, spicy, and delicious. On the flip side, I wish they'd invest in better service training for their staff, who can come off as disinterested. It's cash only which I find a bit frustrating but at least the food quality makes up for it. Be prepared for a wait as they often have a queue, but definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
" A hidden gem if you crave authentic Indian snacks! I was introduced to Sai-Lila by friends and have visited multiple times since. The Khaman is my go-to! Always fresh, fluffy, and full of flavors. But it’s takeout only, and they make it clear that cash is king here. The staff were decent but nothing extraordinary, just doing their roles without any warmth. Still, food is the main attraction, so I'll surely keep coming back regardless! " (*Curated Review*)
" The Khaman I bought from Sai-Lila was the fluffiest I’ve ever tasted, packed with flavor and paired with the perfect chutney. Cash-only policy didn't bother me much, but the cleanliness could be significantly improved. With only takeout options, it felt chaotic inside with limited space. The service was pretty average — not overly friendly, but they did their job. I would say if you want authentic Gujarati snacks, this place is definitely the hidden treasure of Toronto!

" A family member suggested I try Sai-Lila, and I'm so grateful! The range of Gujarati snacks was impressive, and everything we tried was made with care. The Khaman was definitely a standout. I was looking for something specific and the staff helped me select some additional options to try, so no complaints regarding service this time. However, it’s strictly cash-only, which is a bit of an inconvenience. Regardless, I’ll make a point to return for more of that delicious Dhokla! " (*Curated Review*)
" I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the snacks at Sai-Lila Khaman Dhokla House. The Kachori and Dhokla were delightful, and I appreciated how everything is vegetarian. The only downside was the very little seating available as it’s eat-in only, the restaurant could do better to improve upon that. The staff were polite, but I could understand they might be overwhelmed during busy times. Overall, I would recommend this spot to anyone seeking authentic Gujarati snacks, just go prepared with cash! " (*Curated Review*)
