Last night I was waiting in the car for my husband to grab our take-out order from Malhi Sweets when I suddenly realized that I had yet to leave a review for our favorite Indian restaurant. Yesterday we attended a holiday party and then a baby shower immediately following. As we left the second party at around 5:30 PM yesterday evening and not having the energy to make dinner, I turned to my husband and gently suggested, "let's grab Indian on our way home for dinner, honey, what do you say?" He nodded, smiled and without skipping a beat he said, "oh yeah... I could really go for some good Indian. What a great idea!" A few years ago after deciding to go out to eat Indian food we would have then discussed which of the many Indian restaurants on Jean-Talon or rue Jarry should we try; but now when we say "Indian" we are both referring to Malhi Sweets. Once we discovered Mahli Sweets we came to the conclusion that it was not worth wasting our time and money trying other restaurants when we know that Malhi is wonderful. Now the only discussion is whether we should eat at the restaurant or get our food to go. The naan is so delicious it simply melts in your mouth. The saag paneer is fabulous and we almost always order the butter chicken because it is full of flavor but not too spicy (our 4 year-old is not a fan of overly spicy food). Best of all, it is not expensive. We leave with enough food for 4 adults for about $45, including tax and tip.
Incidentally, we are hosting a party next month and we have asked Mahli Sweets to make 50 samosas for our party. They are going to be a hit with our friends! Mahli Sweets' samosas are some of the best we have ever had anywhere!
