We have not eaten superb Indian food since we left London in 2004. Having recently moved to Toronto we were eager to see if we could replicate our previous experiences. This was our first try. Based on the recommendations on Yelp we thought we would try The Host living a few blocks away. Mmmmm.....not what it is said to be. If you are going to spend the time and energy to eat out the meal should be dazzling. If you can replicate the meal at home why bother. Our response to The Host....why bother. Average!!! Maybe better than most? (sad to think) but we would not come back again. For a large Canadian city we find the food scene here lacking. Why? Let's get with it Toronto! Your prices are out of line with your quality. There is definitely a market for good quality food at decent prices! And secondly the facilities were filthy!!! The kitchen? Think about it before you come. Maybe in 2001 The Host came highly recommend not this 2012.
