| - I'm not a huge fan of Indian food. I mean, I like curry and what not but that's pretty much it. I think it's the coconut milk that they use or the spices but basically I only like butter chicken.
We came to this place because a family friend of my bf was having a birthday party there and we tagged along. I wasn't stoked by the idea but I'm up for trying new things.
The place is really small, and extremely red, not bright red but a maroonish-red but it was all over the walls. The restaurant is quite small and intimate. There aren't any booths just tables and chairs.
For lunch they have a buffet but for dinner it is a la carte. There is a wide selection of different curries and spices and different degrees of spiciness depending on your palatte. There are a few vegetarian selections for those of you non-meat eaters, I honestly don't know how you live...
I chose the safe butter chicken. You have to order your rice seperate as well as the naan bread seperate. The rice comes on a plate, not in a bowl, on a plate and the small was enough for sharing between 3 people. The naan bread was good, it's a little thicker than Malaysian roti but still delicious.
There wasn't much flavour to the curry. Although, I was ridiculously full by the end, I didn't feel satisfied. The spiciness was nilch even on the super spicy dish that my bf got.
An upside, is they have a liquor license and they serve very rare beers. Beers that they don't sell at the LCBO and are native to India and other exotic countries. They also have wine for those winos out there.
The food wasn't really my style but it was still good and it's a great place for sharing, not sure if I would recommend it for a first date but definitely a 3rd or 4th date, once you've gotten to know each other. You'll have fun taking turns dipping the naan into the curry sauce.
