BYO in Mile End that I tucked into for a friend's bday dinner last week and couldn't have been happier to find myself in such a cozy port in the -30 storm. We sat in the shoes-off elevated area surrounded by big pillows beneath the billowing tapestries that patchwork the ceiling. Water was served in cool glass carafes, wine bottles popped, bowls of hot dahl served, and then giant stoneware dishes, one vegetarian, one chicken, one veal (which I didn't try but folks raved over.) The chicken was moist and slightly spicy and the vegetarian had lip smackingly good potatoes. After the meal we were served hot sweet mint tea that was a perfect kick back out the door into the cold.
The restaurant was short staffed that night so the owner was cooking and serving and he did an amazing job juggling it all with a smile. We paid a flat $20 each plus tax which seemed like a fair deal for the massive mounts of meal and the great good vibes.
