Time for a reality check. The overall 4.5 star rating led me astray and I wouldn't want this streak to continue for other yelpers, so let's get on with the facts about my experience at Kathmandu Kathmandu.
PRICES: egregious. How can one justify charging $17 for buffet and $13 for a vegetarian dish? $5 for plain naan?? Indian food should not be this expensive. In fact, other than The Host, this is the most expensive Indian restaurant I've ever visited in Toronto (of dozens) and the service certainly didn't match the price I paid.
PORTIONS: I ordered the paneer butter masala (recall: $13) and counted 7 cubes of paneer. The value was more like $6. My $5 naan was 1 medium-sized piece cut into 4 squares. Rice was out of my price range so I didn't order it.
SERVICE: deplorable. 30 minutes before we were given water (after we had asked multiple times) and 75 minutes before our food came out. This restaurant is understaffed by aloof and unapologetic amateurs. As a final note, I must mention that I didn't see any South Asians among the staff.
Avoid.
