| - OK. Just OK. Decent Indian food, decent ambiance, pretty good service. The food is nothing to write home about, but it is not bad. Whoever gives this restaurant 5 stars for food should venture beyond The Danforth (yes, I realize this is the best indian food on the Danforth, since it is the only one!). The GTA has some amazing authentic indian food.
The Mulligatawny soup had only Dhaal in it and NO other vegetables (hellooo, cook?). The vegetable pakoras were soaked in oil, dripping everywhere, and were mostly onions inside the batter.
The Saag Paneer used cheap Paneer (you could taste the difference, yes it is possible) and the Saag curry was pretty bland. The Chicken Tikka Masala was probably the best of what we tried, but devoid of any subtle flavors - just tomato/curry taste.
The $3 pita side came with only 1 (one) piece and the $3 basamati rice side (curries come a-la-carte, with no rice or bread) was equally small and the rice was small-grained (read: cheap).
It seems that this place caters to the "white people" crowd who have no clue about authentic indian food (or have some weird ideas how 'they' want it to taste)
