My friends were treated terribly at Motimahal. See below for the review from Dimitrios D. However, I was unaware that this was the same place when other friends suggested stopping in for dessert after brunch in Little India.
We ordered chais and a few sweets ($12) and grabbed a table. The decor doesn't make you want to linger - cold, hard plastic tables and a fast food atmosphere. Although the place is constantly busy with lots of patrons and take out orders.
Our desserts were good. I was never a huge fan of Indian sweets because the ones I've had in the past had a heavy dose of rose water which I liken to eating old lady perfume. But the desserts here were lick-the-bottom-of-the-styrofoam-bowl good.
Motimahal gets a 2.5 star rating from me and I would hope that they got their act together and improved their customer service after the incident that my friends had to endure. In a multi-cultural city like Toronto, there's no room for isolating customers based on race.
