This spot has been on my radar for a bit since it opened on Lakeshore a short while ago. A smallish restaurant with maybe less than seating for 10 and an emphasis put on pick up and third party delivery services. So don't expect any sort of grand design. It's a simple place where the focus is on the food.
I'm typically a Pad Thai, Khao Soi or cashew nut chicken kinda guy and I don't stray. Sure I'll try various appetizers and sides but I stick to my big three. However when recently researching the most popular dishes in the world I stumbled across a thai dish I had never heard of - Massaman Curry. I was dismayed to discover that such a popular dish in the rest of the thai food world isn't widely found in Toronto and the GTA.
So imagine my surprise when I wasn't really in the mood for the big 3 and saw massaman on the menu! The quest for the holiest of holy curry grails was found. Ordered that with a side of steamed rice.
What came was a perfectly balanced curry dish a little sweet, a little sour/savoury and a creamy almost peanut butter in colour (and slightly in flavour) sauce. Filled with chicken or beef, veggies and potatoes, was a hearty satisfying dish perfect for a cold day. I had a great time spooning the curry on the rice a little at a time and enjoying as I went. Loved it.
A little secret x-factor is their check-in offer on Yelp. Check-in and you get a thai iced tea (thai tea, sugar and sweet and condensed milk) for free! A nice perk for being a loyal dine in customer!
Looking forward to seeing how they fare with my regular dishes.
