| - We had been watching as the place renovated what was a small greek place that never really opened before closing last year. The new place located on the north side of the street between Borden and Brunswick is called Curry Love and features a selection of Thai inspired curries. A small place with the cash located at the front and a service counter than runs down the length of one wall. The place has a simple, clean style with lots of cooking pots providing decoration on the wall behind the counter.
Like a lot of other quick serve places you choose your base, a selection of rice or roti, then your protein, a choice of curries (green, yellow, red, thick and tamarind) and then dress that with a selection of available toppings. It is a really good idea and I am hoping it will be quite popular because we were happy with everything that we ordered. I had a roti with shrimp, which while small were really tasty, the thick (peanut) curry with cilantro, basil, carrots and onions. Mr.T opted for some jasmine rice, beef, red curry and most of their toppings. Everything is placed in recyclable containers for take away because there is only one small counter that seats two at best for eating in situ. Because it is a soft opening they are still working out the kinks but I have to say the place has a nice atmosphere and really friendly service and the food was yummy. I would love to see the carrots and cucumbers sliced more matchstick style and maybe some chopped peanuts and bean sprouts added to the available toppings. I am definitely a fan of the concept and their food.
