| - I have now had two different Pakistani breakfast - one here and another one in Markham. Basically had the same basic meal at both places and when the spices stop jumping through my system, I'll tell you all about it! OK...it's been a couple weeks now and I think I'm ready to talk about it! LOL!
Everyone, please excuse my ignorance on Pakistani food. Indian food, I'm good but sometimes you have to be neighbourly and try the country next door.
On the weekends between 9AM to 1PM, they have what is called Lahori Style Breakfast - assuming that the meal originates from Lahori/Lahore. They have an assortment of dishes, some curried, some sweet, and some just downright Spicy! Since my friend ordered, I have no idea what I was eating - but it was very flavourful.
The order arrives on a metal serving tray with sweets, curry, bhajia (me thinks), chickpeas, and is served with a roti like bread - not naan. I think that is what is called Kulcha - I've seen it in Punjabi meals. We also ordered Naan with some spicy beef curry on the side as well.
I heard the words Desi and Nashta to represent the meal we had - along with Lahori.
Kulcha was a nice break from the ubiquitous naan we have everywhere. The naan that came with the side beef curry dish was pretty good as well. The spicy beef was a little over the top for a breakfast item. The rest of the breakfast was milder and each bite was different. Sure beats a McClown breakfast - which is located across from this place. Go figure.
Overall, it was an A-OK meal. I can't make it a regular happening but I can see it being a once a month adventure. For those who have not tried it, go for it. For those who know all about Lahori/Desi/Nashta food - please forgive my attempt at understanding and writing about it. Promise it will get better.
Cheers.
