Last night I decided to satisfy an on-going craving for Agra's yellow dal. It may seem silly to crave a dish so simple but it's been a favourite of mine since I tried it at Agra's original location in North York.
My husband and I wanted to keep our meal simple so in addition to the yellow dal we ordered the okra. It was perfectly cooked and beautifully spiced. Okra is often hit and miss at restaurants because once over cooked it can become slimy. We added two tandoori roti to our order and had a fabulous meal.
The service was amazing from start to finish. I used to be a regular at their first restaurant when I lived just steps away and I'm so happy to have them in my new neighbourhood downtown.
They've always been very accommodating to our vegan diet and also any requests for limited oil or spice level depending on my mood for heat.
To those reviewers who say this is not authentic Indian food, I'm not sure what to tell you. I've eaten my way around India, I married into an Indian family and I have no complaints. My husband and his family also love the food. Maybe you're used to eating from a different part of India?? Or maybe you had a an isolated experience. I highly suggest giving these guys a chance. They're a consistent favourite of mine and their prices are not at all out of line with other places in the city.
I can also highly recommend their samosas, pakoras, channa, baingan bharta, vegetable jalfrezi and vegetable vindaloo.
We didn't order apps or drinks so our meal with tax and tip came to just under $30.
