| - Located on the SE corner of Eglinton/Confederation, this plaza is a bit difficult to access...unless you're travelling North on Confed or headed East on Eglinton. Otherwise, be prepared to do a U-y or other illegal maneuver to pull into this new plaza.
Not only is the plaza new, but so is Sindhi and it's still working out the kinks. This is a bit of confusion when you first step inside: It's a seat yourself, order/pay at the counter, and food will be brought to your table. Same as Paramount, but there is no greeter at the door. There really should be a "Please Seat Yourself" sign, if no greeter.
Some menu items are also vague/unclear as to what "Sindhi Special" is, even for my Indian friend who came with. Girl at the counter, non-Indian, hadn't tasted many items so do not depend on her recommendations. Photos of menu items would be helpful, especially when description is not in terms that non-Indian folk would understand.
We ordered:
- Mango Lassi - $3 (quite thick and sweet, glass was filled to an awkward 3/4 level whereas I witness other glasses 90% full, inconsistent portions)
- Sharmaji Ki Chaat - $5 (quite good 'snack')
- Gosht Dabalroti - $7 (no crunchy sev on top - my Indian friend pointed this out to me, I wouldn't have known, lamb was well marinated and tender, but curry was served on 2 LARGE slices of bread which I was trying to avoid)
- Sindhi Ke Tikke Parantha - $9.90 (more on chunks of beef kabob, slices of red onion, pickled baby onions, on top of a naan than parantha, good flavour, but I found beef on the dry side)
Food was very decent, but again still some things to work out like customer confusion, long wait times at the cash, and also long wait for food to arrive IF a whole bunch of customers had ordered before you. I found staff to be pleasant, but at times didn't pick up the empty dishes right away and informed customers about the procedure AFTER they've been sitting down for a while.
Definitely worth trying, but also bring your patience KNOWING that you're going into a new restaurant!
