| - Really good halal, Indian food in a beautiful neighbourhood.
I usually avoid Indian food because I cannot, repeat x 1000, cannot, handle spicy food, or food with too many spices. However, my family decided to try an Indian restaurant for once, so we did.
The seating was limited, but the restaurant had a romantic and intimate vibe. There was no barrier between the kitchen and the seating area, so the smells from the kitchen were quite noticeably in the air.
We ordered a few lamb dishes (one with coconut), butter chicken, and I ordered the chickpea curry. I don't eat meat, so I can't speak for the meat dishes. However, my chickpea dish was superbly fresh! My family could't get over how fresh everything tasted. The naan and rice were great, as well. Family got a few servings of rice pudding for dessert, which they loved so much that they decided they needed to take a few for home.
Our waiter was very kind and accommodating, which made the experience even better! I also read in the menu that the head chef has cooked for some very important people throughout his career (
Overall, this is a place worth checking out. Many Indian restaurants of this quality in Toronto aren't halal, so it's a rare gem. The freshness of the food was a standout factor. My advice would be to come with a big appetite and to try a bit of everything- I'm sure you'll find something you'll like.
