  • First off: I've only been here to use up my coupons. To be honest, the location (a few blocks north of the Finch subway station, on Yonge Street) is out of the way for us downtown denizens. So I'd put off and put off and put off using those coupons until my trusty reminder popped up to say I'd better use 'em or lose 'em. So, my friend and I thought it over, discussed the logistics of getting there on a weekday ... not gonna happen, she works too far away. And then we noticed we had the option of take-out! Problem solved. So, on three different occasions (I had 3 coupons and the coupons clearly stated that only ONE could be used each day for take-out), we ordered take-out. Decided to skip the naan and biryani dishes since I had both at home. The first attempt: Chicken xacutti and lamb vindaloo. Both were perfect! The vindaloo (labelled as "spicy") smelled a little strongly of vinegar, and wasn't very spicy: even my friend who doesn't eat spicy food was only moderately zinged. The chicken was velvety perfection - a rich, roasted-coconut flavour (not coconut milk, this is fresh grated coconut) in a variety of spices. The verdict: A1 for flavour! The second attempt: we wanted seafood. Ordered the bombay macchi (fish in a tomatoey sauce) and the Goan fish and prawns. The Bombay macchi was blah to my taste buds, but my friend loved it. The Goan fish and prawns reminded me of the xacutti the previous time - delicious! The third attempt was the weirdest. Having seen the portion sizes on the first two attempts, we were sure there'd be plenty of food (in both cases, we'd had leftovers). So we ordered the Bombay Bakra (curried goat) and the Hara Chicken Tikka. This time, I was starving, so stopped at a little hole-in-the-wall Indian place near my house to get some naan and a vegetable dish: a good thing, too. The chicken tikka was just a few pieces, and the goat dish was about half the volume of the previous curries we'd ordered, although the price was about the same. I don't know if it's just that that particular goat dish is a small serving or if they have changed the portion sizes for take-out, but both of us were rather disappointed with that particular order. Tasty, but certainly not filling. I'm still rating this a 4 - the food is delicious and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on that one smaller-than-expected dish.
