I was really excited to check this place out and pretty disappointed when I did.
My Girlfriend had the Chicken Frankie which was pretty dry. She ate half of it and asked me to eat the other half. After a bite, I said "I love you but I can't."
I had the Keema Pav which was also very dry.
Perhaps it was a bad day in the kitchen?
I've visited Bombay on several occasions and I've had the street food there. This is far from authentic and again, I was pretty disappointed.
The food is presented so well here. I loved that! This place has so much potential and can be so much better. The service was excellent and I truly feel that there is no other South Asian restaurant in Toronto that has such a positive vibe. Hence, the two stars. You have to give the establishment credit for their presentation but I don't know how much that matters if the food isn't amazing.
Names aside, there are quite a few other places in Toronto that do Indian street food much better. Sure, you'll probably have to dry clean your clothes and wash your hair after you spend even a few minutes there but for good food, I think it's worth it once in a while.
I'm not sharing my options here based on the fact that I've spent a good five years (on and off) in Bombay. I understand that the flavours + heat have to cater to a broader audience. I totally get that.
I hope Bombay Street Food brings the authenticity it promises to a good place in the future. I won't be going back anytime soon.
