  • Not what I expected I want to start this review with a note that the owners tried to explain the food and were very kind. I've eaten many Indian dishes over the years (a few very, very good - both abroad and in Canada) so I'm confident to express my opinion. We came here mid week, hoping to find another "hidden gem" as we haven't found many wonderful Indian restaurants in the east end of Toronto and we had read the wonderful reviews. The place was empty, except for a few take out orders coming in to pick up or deliver. We ordered an appetizer plate first, then our meals of lamb vindaloo and chicken tikka Marsala. It started with a totally disappointing appetizer experience. I wish I had taken a picture, but the flattened, smooth golf-ball sized and shaped pakora (and after asking the waitress where my onion bhaji was as I didn't recognize it on the plate. Found out they were there but were exact same shape, size, colour and texture of the pakora was that only way to tell the difference was to see green on the outside). These were definitely not the onion bhaji and pakoras I've known to love and enjoy. I was told they just make them different - oddly shaped like the frozen ones I've seen at Indian supermarkets. And the samosas? A nice taste but unfortunately filled with soft mashed potatoes vs. a nice textured filling. The menu said papadams were included with what I had ordered, but when I inquired about those missing off the appetizer plate too, I was told they don't serve them anymore as people in the area wanted gluten free. And that totally had me flumixed. Papadams ARE gluten free. So I just asked them to package up the rest of our order for takeout as I was pretty certain the rest would be the same. Yes, I was disappointed. I will just finish this to say the rest of the food was mediocre. Both other meat dishes used heat vs having depth of flavor. I love heat, but it has to accompany the complex delicious flavours that Indian food is famous for. And this just didn't have it. So for us, we didn't find that hidden gem we were hoping to find. And price point? high - in my opinion for their offerings.
