| - Brampton is also known as Bramistan given how heavily populated it is with Southeast Asians (i.e Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis etc.) and the strip malls here are filled, filled, filled with every imaginable Southeast Asian eatery.
The problem is where do you go and which ones are authentically good since many of them turn out to be so-so and just plain bad? Surprisingly given how many eateries there are here, not a whole lot of them have Yelp! reviews and the few that do, did not have high ratings.
My cousin and I were in the area since her son had a hockey game to play and both of us are curry fiends. We found King Tandoori after using my Yelp app and the reviews and high ratings are completely justified.
Yes, it's true to exterior and the decor inside are nothing to write home about, very sparse, very bare but also I should add, and very importantly, clean.
We ordered up lamb biryani, mango lassis, naan bread to take home, and I kid you not, we inhaled everything, even though portions here are quite generous, prices are cheap, service was very quick and friendly, it went that quickly because it was *that* good.
The lamb biryani was super flavorful and had a bit of kick to it in the aftertaste. The lamb was cooked perfectly, super-moist and practically melted in your mouth. The rice was also spiced up accordingly and very rich and filling, like biryanis should be. They have a real tandoor oven in the back and the naan bread which was coming out of it was fluffy, not chewy at all but disappeared almost the second you bit into it.
I sincerely hope other people find this place and help keep this family restaurant going because they seriously deserve it and even though I'm not in Toronto often, I hope the next time I go, it will still be there because I want to try so many of their other dishes.
