  • We lived for many years in an area of Toronto that has an abundance of Indian restaurants. I could eat Indian food every day, and not get bored. So why, on a day off from work, did my wife and I decide to trek to an entirely different city 35 km (22 miles) away to sample this cuisine? Easy: a friend who's smart about these things recommended it. This is why I like my friends. It was a gloomy November Monday when we pulled up to the front door. Inside, the place was buzzing - a good sign on a Monday in November, or any time. It was busy, not packed. And while the physical condition of the place wasn't exactly pristine - chipped paint, torn cushions, that sort of thing - the food more than made up for it. The attentive server came immediately and offered menus. Clearly it's a place that knows its lunch-hour crowd. After a short but respectable wait, the server returned to take our order. The range of choices was nothing short of astonishing - maybe 30 or 40 different dosa options. My wife ordered a lentil soup and a Kara Masala Dosa, stuffed with masala-spiced mashed potatoes. I had a mango lassi and the Podi Cheese Masala Dosa, with three kinds of cheese, potatoes, and the spice lovingly called Gun Powder (aka Idly Podi). The server joked, "You like spicy food, don't you?" The soup arrived almost immediately. And then... so did the mains. It didn't leave my wife a lot of time to enjoy her appetizer. I docked half a star for this faux pas. The good news is, the crêpes were perfectly cooked, with crunchy edges and soft centres. The fillings were generous and delicious. The accompanying chutneys and sambar tasted fresh, distinctive and homemade. The other half-star loss on this review was because of the challenges we faced in making our exit. As our timing was tight, we asked for the bill soon after we'd finished eating. It took three different servers asking if we wanted anything else before the bill actually showed up. This is clearly a highly efficient, well-managed machine. I was surprised to note that several friends reacted with recognition and approval when I told them where we'd gone. That's a plus, too. A little more attention on the customer service side wouldn't hurt. (PS the free wifi is from a chain restaurant next door.)
