| - Some of the best Indian food in Toronto, you just have to know what to get. If you are there on a date, and I sincerely hope you are, get the chef's taster menu for around $45 a head... it's a delightful romp through traditional and inventive fusion dishes, it's quality food and in a perfect quantity.
If you don't want a personal, guided tour from the chef, then I suggest the biryani, the butter chicken or the saag paneer. Their naan is small, light, fluffy and absolutely amazing when fresh out of the tandoor. The chutneys and pickles are out of this world, and served with fresh, crisp pappadums.
This is not traditional Indian food, the chicken is boneless (everyone loves a chicken-spine in their vindaloo once in a while right?)... but still quite excellent. The biryani at Amaya is one of the best rice dishes I've ever had, but it's not a biryani in the traditional sense. You must try the mango lassi, it's also phenomenal.
You can't leave here without spending a fair bit of money, but the food is unique, well prepared and delicious.
