| - Sometimes you just have a craving for South Asian food, but don't feel like gorging at an AYCE place like The Host or something.
Well, I'm pleased to say that my craving was satisfied after I went to this little restaurant at the corner of Markham and 14th Avenue. I certainly had other choices in the area: drive a short distance southwards and choose from the array of small food joints in the southeast corner of Markham and Steeles, or go find Babu for some Tamil fare.
I decided to keep it simple. Oddly enough, the dining room was completely devoid of customers. it being 6-ish, that wasn't a terribly good sign. Maybe the weather played a part, I don't know, but that wasn't necessarily an indication of their food quality, so I went ahead and ordered take-out. The dining area was small and clean, nice lacquered wooden tables, and Indian music playing throughout.
A quick read of the menu revealed a good variety of dishes, although since I was REALLY hungry, i opted for the "Dinner for Two" Meat-Special for $26.99 (There is a veggie version for $4 less). This is a decent deal, as I ended up with the following:
-Indian Green Salad
-2 pcs. of Seekh Kabab (like a mince beef sausage)
-Chicken Tikka Masala
-Chana Masala
-3 (rather large) pieces of Naan
-2 cans of pop
-5 little bowls of some yogurt-based hot sauce (VERY tasty)
Now, the combo was supposed to also have rice and 2 pcs of Pappad. They had no more pappad, so they substituted another piece of Naan. Good substitute.
Unfortunately, when I got home, i noticed that they had forgotten to give me the rice!! I quickly called the restaurant and advised them of this. The gentleman on the other end apologized and asked if I was going to come back to get it. I said that was already home, so he offered to take my info down and next time he would give me rice for free. I got his name, of course, but that was a decent move on their part.
Oh right...the FOOD!! :P The Chicken Tikka was great. A little sweet finish, but definitely tasty. The Chana Masala was hearty and very filling. The Kabab was a *bit* dry for my taste, but a quick dip in the yogurt hot sauce cured that. Good taste throughout. The Naan smelled fresh and tasted even better.
I'm going back here for sure. They have a bunch of other items that I need to try next time I get my craving, and I'm going to cash in my free rice!! Great little place for some quick and tasty South Asian food that's definitely a good value for this area of Markham.
