| - A great fusion restaurant right in the heart of St. Clair West, Ji is a reliable and fulfilling experience that's sure to please anyone who visits.
My friends suggested we visit this restaurant, which was taking part in Summerlicious and had a great selection of lunch items combining Indian and Western sensibilities. I went for the vegan Caesar salad (chick peas, cashew dressing, coconut flakes), the spicy beef burger (with masala fries) and a spiced chocolate brownie for dessert.
Everything was great across the board. I had never tried Indian fusion cuisine before, so this was a bit of a treat for me. The flavours didn't particularly stand out in the burger, but it was moist and delicious nonetheless. Most of my group went for the Tandoori chicken sandwich, which they reported was great.
If I have one complaint, it's that the chocolate brownie was dry. Perhaps it's just a side-effect of the cooking process or the spices they use, but I'm used to chocolate brownies being moist and easy to put a fork through. It could have done with a scoop of ice cream as well.
Regardless, for my first Summerlicious outing, Ji was a great option and had a fantastic menu. I also appreciate the restaurant's hiring of local servers - our waitress was fantastic and patient as she put up with a wait as more people show up, and she lives in the local area. This is what local restaurants should strive for - great food, great service and supporting the local community.
I will definitely be back if I'm in the area.
