For Indian food in Little India that was recommended by relatives who've lived all their lives in Toronto and is married to someone who is part Indian, I thought, "If they say this place is good, it must be pretty good."
Boy, was I wrong. They've been spot on in all of their Toronto recommendations in the neighborhood but this one seemed a bit off. Now, I've been to India twice and have had some of the best Indian cuisine while I was there and have been hard to impress when it comes to Indian food since. I've found two places that I really like where I live in Southern California that I would say is just as good as the food I had in India.
Maybe it was the buffet that I decided to get but the food in the buffet line was greasy and at best, bland. None of the signature flavors for each dish jumped out and the food tasted a little old. The chicken was dry and flavorless and the lamb was swimming in oil.
The best thing I had was the imported beer which I always enjoy at an Indian restaurant. Service was ok if not a little slow to respond.
I've yet to be impressed with the Indian food in Toronto which is surprising judging from the Indian population that live in this area. I'll just get my Indian food fix when I go back to Orange County.
