After hanging out at home for awhile in the afternoon we decided to head out for an early dinner at Kathmandu, one of our favourite Indian places. We used to visit it fairly regularly years ago when it was located on Yonge Street just north of Alexander Street. They moved four years ago to Cumberland Street in Yorkville and while we have ordered takeout from them using Just Eats we had never actually made it to their new location.
Located on the north side of Cumberland, just west of Yonge Street, they occupy the basement of an old house that was long ago converted into shops. There is a double entrance that sits in the centre of the restaurant that leads to a couple of more steps down to a dining area that is split into two separate sections. We opted for a raised seating area that looked south onto Cumberland Street and while the place was empty when we arrived there was lots of takeout traffic leaving the restaurant. The ambience is dark and muted with a beautifully painted eggplant-purple ceiling that was very relaxing. The service was quick and polite and the food as delicious as I remember from when we ate at their Yonge Street location.
