It's places like these that make you want to review food! They have placed emphasis on everything that makes a good restaurant- the food, ambience (although slightly tacky for my taste) and service. The owner seemed involved with the ongoing although helped out as well.
Don't expect a fancy silver service but for sure there is a warmth in it. I got the dahi bhalla and the chicken dum pukht biriyani. The dahi bhalla was good...a mix of what you get in the south and north of india.
And as I was typing I got handed a warm towel in a neat plastic wrap to wipe my hands with! Nice touch :) now I feel happy about the five stars for sure ;)
The dum biriyani came wrapped in a dough and had to be cut open. It was fragrant, on the spicier side just like I need it to be. The curd that comes along was a bit less, but since I had the dahi bhalla, made up for it. All in all a real good place, restored my faith in food in Toronto a bit
