| - I went here for an "Unofficial Yelp event", which is basically just a bunch of people (30+) getting together for a meal at a slightly discounted price. This place is conveniently located across from the North York Civic Centre and the interior has a nice urban vibe to it with a couple of large tv's. It is more an "pub feel" to Indian food.
Appetizers:
a)Nawab Veg balls: these were delicious. There were lots of nice herbs in there.
b)Green Poutine: I'm not a big fan of fries, but they were nice and crispy with good flavour.
c) Lolipop Chicken: this was probably my favourite of the night. The chicken was very tender and it was like a mix of tandoori and chilli chicken (but a lot less spicy) on a little skewer
d)Beef Seekh kebob: To be perfectly honest, while I know the chef tried hard to cook well for 30 people, I think he tried too hard and over-cooked these. The meat was kind of tough.
However, I thought most of the apps were delicious - so for the apps, probably 4/5.
Dinner:
a)Saffron Chicken - like a sweet butter chicken. It was white meat and some of tablemates didn't like it that much, but I thought it was pretty good.
b)Lamb Slider - the lamb inside was very well cooked, however I think the naan bread needed a bit of work. I'm not sure but it wasn't as "hot" as I like it.
c)Channa Masala - this was actually my favourite entree. Thought this was amazing channa.
d) Rice - very fragrant
e)Plain and whole wheat naan - naan was okay, but I've had better.
So for entrees I would give this place a 3/5
So in essence, this gives the place a score of 3.5/5. However, I'll round up to 4 stars because the owner and servers are all very pleasant and accommodating.
Oh yeah, and I had a fresh lime juice. MY GAWD! this was off the hook (yes I know, no one says that anymore, sue me). It basically tasted like a mojito but virgin. SUPERB!
If you work or live in the area, I would say this is a great place to have business lunches or drinks and apps after work.
