| - After hours of sightseeing and picture taking at Casa Loma, we walked from Casa Loma to the Royal Museum of Ontario. We were close to keeling over from hunger when we walked past this little store front and was harkened back by the aroma of foodie goodness.
Ghazale's offered 3 kinds of plates (the meat plate (I think that's the name), the slim plate (4 sides to include 1 meat), and the veggie plate (4 sides all veggies). I had the veggie plate which allowed me to choose any of the 4 veggie or starch items they offered. I chose 1.) stewed potatoes, carrots, and peas, 2.) lentil rice 3.) veggie balls 4.) cauliflower in a light tomato base gravy. It was tasty and (with the exception of the veggie balls which are fried) I felt like it was healthy.
My son had the slim plate. He chose the 1.) beef, 2.) tabouleh (which he LOVED), 3.) stewed potatoes, carrots, and peas 4.) lentil rice.
The servers wore gloves.
The door was opened and there was a fly or 2 in the establishment, but I didn't observe any on or near the food.
Ghazale's lost 2 stars because one of the servers was extremely sarcastic (rude) with a client who paid for a meal, left, and returned for his food. In the interim another client came in, ordered the same item, was about to pay when the initial customer returned. He kindly requested his food and she went into a theatrical performance questioning who he paid. Other patrons explained to her he was there recently and paid.
Ghazale's lost another star because the food wasn't hot enough.
My son (12) says he wouldn't eat there again. I might, but Ghazale's served its purpose for today.
