| - Even though it took me close to an hour to get there, and I felt like I had ended up in a different country (there was even snow on the ground WTF), it was worth the grueling trek for Earth Indian. (My idea of grueling: take the TTC to Finch station; it's a ten minute walk North on the East side of Yonge.)
I was crazy late. My two dates, the lovely Lauren M and Janna S, were kind enough to wait, and we ordered almost as soon as I sat down. In short order we got malai kofta, daal maharani, lamb vindaloo, hara chicken tikka, and exactly three orders of garlic naan. The food was great: not too oily or heavy. The garlic naan was super-garlicky (a plus IMO) and the cylindrical malai kofta was creamy and flavourful. I wish the vindaloo was spicier but that is easily remedied.The hara chicken tikka (literally, green chicken) was the standout. Good spice level with in a hint of lime tartness. Portion sizes defeated us, and there was enough to take home.
Apparently this is another (victim of) Restaurant Makeover, but I can't say I thought too much of the decor. It appeared to be an Indian restaurant. Also, for some reason our server seemed positively afraid of us, but she was attentive and our water glasses never dipped below halfway. I would recommend this place, especially if you have a Metropass and enjoy subterranean transport.
Obligatory Title Pun: I would travel to the ends of the EARTH.
Menu Readability: Divided by type of meat/vegetable. Reasonable typeface.
Need to mention: They have a spacious patio out front.
What this place teaches me about myself: Have I never eaten Indian food outside.
