This place is the best restaurant in Kingston. I love it with all my heart. The food was flavorful, filling and fascinating for your taste buds. The servers were delightful. The atmosphere was splendid. And to top it all off, you can bring your own finest pinot grigio from your cellar at no additional cost. The only downside was this restaurant and all its staff are not located in my hometown of Ottawa. Also, I'm Indian, so I know my shit.
Wow!!!! I have tried MANYYYYY Indian places in Ontario. This place is to die for! I had the Kashmiri chicken. The flavours cannot be described. Best Indian food ever!!! I am very sad not to live in that city just for this restaurant. I will make sure to drop by every time I'm on the 401 Kingston area. The waiter was very friendly. The place is fancy but not expensive. Very affordable for the food you are being served. The atmosphere is also very authentic and beautiful. Absolutely 10/10 thank you for serving me amazing food!!
Kingston Indian Restaurant. Having recently returned to Kingston after living & dining in downtown Toronto for the past fifteen years, it was easy to recommend my favourite restaurants.
The selection in culinary delights was extensive and my friends & associates were always delighted.
In my search for a good local Indian restaurant, I visited Saber's Taste of India and spoke with the owner Saber, we discussed the menu and off menu selections.
I am pleased to share that my expectations were exceeded. The Aloo Mutter (spicy) and Butter Chicken (tomato base) dishes were exquisite .... not sure how my friend / chef in Toronto will react to this though! LOL ;-)
Thanks Saber....
Amazing food! From Toronto and never had this kinda food before! Great customer service! Wouldn't mind driving 3 hours just to eat here!
Lovely Dinner. It's a quirky restaurant with great food. No corkage fees which is great too.
Chef is very good and does a superb Handi kebab amongst other things. Always busy. Lamb dishes are also exceedingly tasty.
Predictably outstanding. Fresh, savoury, and exacting, every one of their dishes I've tried carries a unique signature that can be relied on to please with every visit. You're sure to leave with a gustatory smile or Saber's my uncle.
Recommend: beef vindaloo, mixed veggies, and the amazing palao rice & naan.
Cost: on par with other Indian restaurants in the area, but with much higher quality and friendlier service.
Decor: ambiance is not their forte, but it is cozy enough and hey: the food IS that good that you really won't care about wallpaper or tablecloths.
The Best. Saber's Taste of India is an absolutely wonderful place to eat. The food is beyond compare. I have never been disappointed and I eat there about once a month. Your satisfaction is of utmost importance and dishes are prepared to your liking - more heat, less heat, more spice - all you have to do is ask. The staff add charm to your dining experience by offering suggestions and taking care of you with pleasant and sometimes humorous service. To top it all off, you can bring in your own wine and there is no corking fee.
Been to many restaurants across Canada and the U.S. This place ranks in my top 3 I have ever been to. Superb food, and superb service. 10/10 no question.
I ate the Saag Paneer there tonight and it was amazing, as always. I'm a regular customer and have had many dishes and have never been disappointed. The staff/owners are friendly and provide an excellent atmosphere. It is a gem!
Great food and prices. Friendly mom & pop feel. Would definitely recommend to a friend and I will come back. Don't forget your own wine - no corkage fee.
Exceptional Food and Service!. If you are looking for delicious and authentic Indian food, we strongly recommend you try Saber’s cooking – it is truly exceptional. It took us a while to discover this gem, but it is now at the top of our list of places to eat in Kingston and indubitably our number one Indian restaurant!!
Great food, I love the butter chicken. You can even bring your own wine!
Love this place! Caters to my celiac disease! I hesitate to give a great review only because I want to get a table when I walk in! I love Joe!! He is hilarious! Best Indian restaurant in Kingston by far!!!!!
Amazing Experience!. Tonight, my girlfriend and I went to Saber's for the first time -- we were not disappointed! The staff are so friendly and make you feel truly valued as a customer. The food was delicious. I had the lamb vindaloo (so spicy and so delicious) and my girlfriend had the lamb bhoona. For dessert, we had the mango ice cream. When we finished the meal, we both agreed that Saber's is the best Indian restaurant in Kingston and the most satisfying meal we've had in a long time. Saber came out at the end of our meal and engaged us in conversation -- what a friendly guy! Great service, great food, and great atmosphere. We will definitely be back and wish we had discovered this place sooner.
Great Meal!. My husband and I enjoyed a terrific Indian meal last night! We were driving from Toronto to Ottawa, and checked the Urbanspoon for an Indian restaurant with a great rating. Saber's Taste of India had the best rating, so I checked the on-line menu, and read the options out loud to my husband who was driving. We chose a very spicy (and delicious) Shrimp Jalfrezi for our main course. We had this with Papadum (well spiced with anise) and Naan (hot and delicious). We ended with Kulfi, which is a homemade mango ice cream. It was served promptly and was terrific. We will put this restaurant on our GPS for a return visit next time we are in the Kingston area, and can't recommend it enough!
Best Indian Restaurant in Kingston. We regularly eat Indian food in both Canada and abroad. Saber's is one of the best we've ever been to. The food is superb - fresh and with an exceptional blend of flavours. The menu is varied and gives excellent value for money. In addition, you can bring your own wine without a corkage charge.
The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff friendly and helpful. Saber is an engaging host and chef.
Our favourite meals are butter chicken, chicken phatia, chicken jalfrezi,and paneer jalfrezi. For dessert try the homemade mango and pistachio ice cream - it's simply superb.
Saber's is an exceptional place to eat!
Love this resteraunt! Best Indian cuisine, the environment is inviting and the service is friendly and fun. 10 out of 10 for sabers taste of India!
Friendly service, excellent food and decently priced. better than curry original.. love coming here. even got to make my own naan once. recommend to all
BEST Indian restaurant in Kingston by far!!! A little gem in the west end of the city where you can bring your own wine-no charge! My favorite dish is chicken vindaloo :). If you enjoy spicy food you really have to give this a try. Saber always finds time to come visit the dining room to make sure you are enjoying your meal. A 5 star Indian restaurant :)
Best Indian food in Kingston. Way better than Curry Original. Friendly staff. Great service. Delicious food. What more could you want? Favorite dish (so far): Masala Lamb.
Is there any Indian resturant in Kingston is better than Saber's? I don't think so, Saber's is perfect but the sad thing was I couldnt find a seat during 7-8pm,maybe because the food is amazing ,that's why there are too many people eating over there during this period of time...
THE BEST FOOD. YA GOTTA EAT HERE!. Walk in, close your eyes and smell....omg. Food is prepared fresh, the spice sings and each individual platter stood on its own. Staff are awesome and the food fabulous. Chef visited out table, taking time to ensure we had everything we needed and that the food met our expectation. Saber's Taste of India....So Good!
Delicious!. We took a friend tonight to introduce him to Indian cooking. We ordered several dishes and all were a hit! Saag paneer, Beef Bhoona, Butter Chicken, Tarka Dall, and Aloo Ghobi and side bits. Hard to pick a favourite as they were all great. We are already planning a return trip.
Thanks for a great meal and the tour!
Authentic Taste - Great Hosts. I have been going to Saber's Taste of India for a while now and ever time I visit, I enjoy great hospitality and delicious food cooked to perfection. I don't eat out much anymore, but when I want a treat, Saber's is the fist on my list!
The food was fantastic and the service was really good. It was nice that the owner/chef came out to chat with us. We will make it a regular place to go to when we are in town
Why didn't we go sooner?!. Came to Saber's on a double date with some friends. Small, intimate space, quiet atmosphere. Great service, very attentive and friendly!
The food was *amazing*. By far the best indian food we've had in Kingston, and we usually order it in (or I'll make it) weekly. We had a variety of different dishes; appetizers were prompt and hot, naan was so fresh we had to wait for it to cool down.
First restaurant we've been to in a long time where we actually met the chef! He interacted quite a bit with us and the other diners and it very kind and hilarious!
We will definitely be returning soon!
Edited to add: I'm a celiac diner, and had no problem ordering just about anything off the menu.
Yum!. Saber's is a real favorite. If you haven't tried the Onion Bahji and the Shrimp (or Chicken) Phatia you're missing a real treat.
Been twice, impressed both times. Our server was a comedian...did a great job attending to our group of 14 people- our Xmas lunch for work. Nice that we could bring in our own bottle of wine...Maybe we should make it an annual thing! Food was delicious...best lime pickle according to my inlaws! We will be back. Thanks Saber!
No I won't share my Butter Chicken!. Best Butter Chicken in town. When I go with friends they all want to share a few dishes but they all know that I won't share as I LOVE the butter chicken here:) It is cooked perfectly by Saber and he comes out to make sure everything is to my liking:) No corking fee is a bonus and he doesn't mind me or my roudy frineds!! Merry Christmas:-)
Best Indian food in town. Loved the butter chicken. Service was great. Telling friends and family to eat there.
Amazing!. We regularly go to Saber's with friends and are always delighted with our dinners and the Chef's attentiveness. He remembers our taste preferences and often suggests new dishes for us to try. These recommendations have been truly amazing! We appreciate the relaxed, friendly atmosphere which allows us to enjoy good company as well as a memorable dinner. Is it any wonder we return again and again!
Delicious and personable. Food was delicious and the owner was very personable. We went back for a 2nd visit with a guest that loves her India food and again were not disappointed.
Been here twice exellent service haven't had Indian food this good ever !!
Five Stars for Saber's!. We love this place!
Indian food is our favorite type of food and whether you are trying it for the first time or a connaisseur you will love Sabers. The chef has trained some of the finest chefs specializing in Indian food throughout Ontario.
The vindaloo, the madras, the samosas, the butter chicken, the curry, just typing this is making me hungry and we just ate dinner there:) It's all mouthwatering and a treat for the senses.
Our favorite way to order is to pick three uniquely different main dishes with rice, nan bread, a starter and of course lassis with or without rum.
The staff is friendly and accommodating.
We give Saber's a five star rating!!!!!

Hubby and I came for dinner after a coworker recommended it to us. I am a vegetarian and a very fussy eater. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was extremely pleasant and personable. The restaurant is tiny, but well decorated. The pricing is very fair. You really must try this place!
Great Food and Service. I am from the Hamilton area and I have been to Saber's on 4 occasions this year. The food has been excellent. Tasty, fresh and good portions at a reasonable price. Service was friendly, timely and polite. Chef came out to ensure everything met our expectations. In my opinion it's the best Indian restaurant in town. 10/10 in every way.....
Had a wonderful meal and a friendly chat with the chef. A place we will surely visit again!
Wow, simply fantastic! Ragan Josh to die for, Saag chicken...wow..awesome.
5/5 stars
Nice Place. Really enjoyed my experience at Saber's. Chef came out to ask us how are meal was and joked around with us. Very pleasant staff and atmosphere. It's too bad I won't be back in Kingston for a while. When I do, I know where I'm eating !
Fantastic Indian food. Great flavor, they'll adjust the heat to however you like it and the chef always comes to chat you up. Great atmosphere and a really friendly community Indian restaurant.
Amazing experience!! So delicious, I've been craving it since I left.
What a Treat!. The food and service was just amazing. So many delicious dishes to choose from, so little room in my belly!
The portion sizes are great - with tons left to take home after your meal, A taste of India at home! The staff were all so friendly and genuine. Lots of memories made and laughs shared with friends/ staff at Saber's Taste of India!
Thank you for such a delightful experience :)

My favorite!. This restaurant definitely has the best Indian food in Kingston! I love eating there, because the food is amazing, the atmosphere is unique and cozy, and the Chef and servers are very friendly. My favorite would have to be the butter chicken and chicken korma. If you like Indian food you NEED to try this restaurant!!!
Absolutely Amazing!. Saber's is by far the best Indian food in Kingston. Every dish is delicious and Saber and Joe are super nice and friendly. My partner and I eat here all of the time and would recommend it to anyone who lives in or who is coming to Kingston. Chicken korma and jalfrezi are my two personal favourites, but you will not be disappointed with anything you order!
Great Food! Great Hospitality!. We had the great opportunity to go to a Taste of India last night for dinner. We were celebrating our friend's 40th birthday and made the right decision on going to this restaurant. We ordered several of their dishes- my favourite being the chicken korma! After enjoying a bottle of wine we were able to bring from home, the owner came to our table to ensure our dinner was good. Not only was the food tasty, but the service was great and we felt very relaxed! Thanks for the memorable experience!
Best Indian Food in Kingston!. Saber's is an uptown Indian restaurant with the best food and service you could ask for. As a vegetarian, this place is a dream. Vegetarians have endless choices (and I do mean endless because when you work your way through the menu as I have, the chef or server will offer you something off menu and tailor everything to your taste!). Meat lovers are satisfied, too, with superb dishes with more generous portions than you typically see in restaurants. Eating here is a treat. And, by the way, Saber's has the best BYOW policy in Kingston (no corking fee!).
Hidden Gem for Indian Food!. Saber's is a small indian restaurant with an extremely friendly owner (and chef) who makes a point to come out and meet guests. He uses very high quality ingredients in his dishes, and this is easily noticed (especially to anyone who has had bad indian food before!)
We tried 3 different dishes: Hot - Medium - Mild. The hot was the indian Vindaloo, served indian style (level 2 of 4 levels of hotness available) and it was spicy! But in a good way, with plenty of flavor to combat the heat. Our mild dish was the butter chicken, which served as a nice balance to the much hotter vindaloo.
Overall this is a hidden gem for indian food with a very pleasant owner. I would recommend this restaurant for someone looking for a new Indian experience. If you like your food spicy or mild, he will make it to order!
GreAt Restaurant. You will never be dissappointed coming here. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and absolutely one of the best tasting Indian food around. This is my husband and I's favourite restaurant
I've tried many dishes off the menu. All are wonderful and generous portions. The staff and atmosphere are amazing. I can't say anything bad even if I try. Two thumbs up!!!
Fabulous ! (From Jennifer). "Saber's Taste of India" is a "MUST"! Formerly known as 'Curry Original', it has always been a favourite for culinary culture closeby in Cataraqui Woods. But now, with Saber doing the cooking, wow, even more amazing !! This chef/owner/host really knows his business and his product. He pays careful attention to each and every guest as though you were dining in his own home. Saber's smile and savoury menu leaves you satisfied and thankful. Our new HIGHLY RECOMMENDED favourite ... "Exotic dinner for two" - an amazing combination, Lamb Curry and Bhoona Shrimp, perfect mixture of spice and sweetness - So yummy with a nice cold Indian Beer like Cobra! Simply Scrumptious! To please the palate, go see Saber !!!
Great tasting food, happy they have lots of vegan options. Had 3 dishes, chickpeas, eggplant, and spinach, all were flavourful. Will order from them again.
I had paneer jalfrezi(mild spicy), naan and onion salad, everything was so good in taste. Also, the staff is humble and advising. Thank you for your hospitality. I would love to order again.
Absolutely delicious Indian Food! We ordered take out and the person on the phone addressed very well a gluten allergy. All food was very flavourful and the meat was very tender. The portions are well sized. Rice has to be ordered in addition to the mains. Will definitely be back for other dishes.
Incredible food, kind and helpful staff, and a beautiful atmosphere. We had a mango lassi, naan, pulao, masala lamb, and lamb madras - and all of it was impressive. Will definitely visit again!
