| - As a lover of world cuisine, I was thrilled to learn that my friend's brother Jash is the owner of Rasoi. And it took me THIS long to finally try it out.
The decor is clean, modern and elegant as I walked in. Jash greeted me warmly and got me a glass of water (cool, refreshing cucumber water with not too much ice) as I looked over the menu.
I chose the coconut curry shrimp with naan to start. The curry was flavourful, but delicate and fresh tasting. There was a slice of lemon perched atop the tiger shrimp, which is both visually stunning and delish. And the naan? Holy. I love naan bread, but these sweet, soft beauties are the best I've had in a long time. When I was finished with the shrimp dish, Jash brought me some more naan to enjoy the curry with. Good thing! I wouldn't want to waste any of it. Compliments to the chef (who I also got to meet)!
I also tried a new lager from Montreal. Refreshingly Canadian and a surprisingly beautiful complement to the Indian fusion food.
Also, Rasoi's equipped with free wireless and is fairly quiet for weekday dinner time. You will need to come early or make reservations for weekends, though. Will definitely come back with a group of friends for some after work bevvies. Gotta say, I love it!
