| - It was, how do you say... underwhelming. Having gone to the GTA's other major meat pie places I have saved my visit to Kanga for last, and it flopped mostly because of the filling.
I ordered the Canadian which was described as a steak pie made with ale gravy, which I usually get over the mince filling. Maybe that was my mistake, but the pie hardly had any steak in it! I tasted some small bits of meat with gristle, but steak it was not. The saving grace was that the gravy was at least delicious, but I would have preferred the meat portions found in almost all the other pie places over this.
At $7.25 plus tax, it wasn't cheap compared to its competition either, but I'll give it a pass for that given its downtown location. The small pie size didn't help either, nor does the fact that the top of the crust, though flaky and delicious, frequently fell out of place when biting into it, allowing the copious amounts of gravy to drip everywhere. None of this was a problem with the other pie places I've been to.
There were some good spots to the experience but I can't recommend this place when the competition like Wisey's and Pie Commission has stepped up their game so much.
