Wife and I ate here yesterday and we were really quite pleased with this unusual little eatery. First off, it's neither fine dining nor is it fast food or take out. It's quite remarkable actually for that it seems to be a little oasis of "a slightly different nature".
Once seated you'd forget you are in the midst of the eastern part of the Danforth amongst some dodgy bars, convenience stores and pizza parlors. Neat, cosy environment that seems somewhat rustic.
Food
Starters: Calamari in a tangy sweet chili and curry sauce. Nice, although the calamari was somewhat chewy. I guess that's just how it comes.
Bread pita-like nothing special. Bought in.
Main course we ordered the couscous royal and it was plenty for both of us. Don't be shocked, the menu is rather short. But I like that, better than numbers 1-50 which you know are frozen and not freshly cooked, this is all nice and fragrant, home made sausages and fresh herbs and spices.
Definitely a welcome diversion from our common picks. They don't serve alcohol which is also refreshing considering this prevents an inflation on the tab.
Ok, the service is a bit too relaxed but then again, it's like you're sitting in a living room with four tables, so it doesn't really matter all that much.
Try it, you might enjoy it - an acquired taste for sure but to my best judgment nice and exotic. 3 3/4 out of 5.
