| - You've had the rest in south Etobicoke, now you need to smarten up and have the best. Living near the area here, I had been blinded by another subpar Indian restaurant, accepting that it was as good as it gets for the area and submitted to eating poorly portioned, bland take-out/delivery whenever a South Asian craving hit me.
Then out on a whim, after passing it in the car, I gave Bombay On the Lake a call and placed our usual Friday night/Sunday "too lazy to cook" delivery Indian meal. This consists of Veggie Pakora, Saag Paneer, Butter Chicken OR Lamb Vindaloo, plain Basmati rice and approx 2-3 garlic naan. The result? Fan-fricken-tastic.
Delivery time was (and continues to be) faster than estimated, the portion sizes, especially when it comes to number of chunks of meat, were exceptional - easily enough to have a second or third helping. The flavour of each dish is exactly as I know it should be, the sauce of the Butter chicken is so smooth and velvety that it actually tickled my taste buds as it danced across my tongue. I'm not the biggest fan of Veggie Pakoras but my fiancee claims these are a must have and loves their way of making them better than any other we've had to date.
And guys, garlic naan? F'real? It's incredible, in fact I would go as far as to say there is Naan-other better out there/ KNAWUTIMSAYIN???
So why only 4? I'm reserving this for the first time I decide to dine in their restaurant. If the service and ambiance (and cleanliness) match the quality of the food their producing then without question Bombay On The Lake will receive a much deserved 5th star from this well fed hombre!
