I am now conflicted about Silk Road restaurant. After they moved from Etobicoke, the family charm has kind of disappeared, and prices have gone up/portions have reduced in size (in particular, soup noodles and the soup). What gives?? However, the lamb skewers are still juicy and fatty as ever, the noodles are still springy and delicious, and you still leave the restaurant smelling of cumin. They have also hired wait staff and have outfitted the place with a fancy new dessert case. Drinks are still self serve. The decor is a little strange - a bit of French renaissance (chandeliers?? sconces?)and Central Asian flair and seat covers, making it look like this is a place for a Chinese wedding.
We went on a Tuesday night quite early on and it was fairly empty, but as the night wore on all the tables filled! I'm glad they are still doing brisk business and will likely return, but disappointed compared to what it used to be. Side note: Make reservations! And note, it's cash only! One other observation: there is lots of parking now! No more getting into near-accidents!
