. "I want to go back ASAP!! This place went beyond my expectations.\nMost indian restaurants that from their appearance seem pretty pretentious and try to attract the upscale crowd tend to fail in their food quantity and taste, as they try to please those that cannot handle spicy indian flavors. But this place, despite being a tad on the pricey side, did not compromise on the food portions and flavors at all.\n\nThe service was good and attentive, although that could have been because the restaurant was not very busy at that time.\n\nThis restaurant is very unique as it's a hybrid of an indian restaurant and a Canadian bar and grill, as they also serve non-indian appetizers such as nachos and poutine. \nI liked that their menu was quite limited, with just a few options for each category. This ensures me that the chefs would focus on each recipe rather than mixing any pre-made sauces together to make a curry.\nThey also had a small dosa section with unique options such as butter chicken dosa.\n\nWe started off with ordering the paneer tikka as an appetizer, which was surprisingly quite expensive but I had the craving so couldn't pass on it. For the mains we got the garlic masala dosa and the shahi paneer with garlic naan.\nThe food did take time to arrive, which shows that it was being made fresh, so I had no problem (as long as they don't take more than 20 minutes).\nMy one complaint was that the mains came before the appetizer. The server did apologize for that.\nBut damn...that paneer tikka was the bomb!! My brother and I went kind of speechless for a minute after our first bite.\nThen I nervously took my first bite into my (gigantic) dosa, since I haven't had good luck with dosas recently except for when I'm at guru Lukshmi. To my surprise the dosa was as good as Guru Lukshmi's!\nThe shahi paneer was amazing too and the portion size was large enough that we had to pack some of it up.\n\nI'm not sure how the service would be if the place is filled up, but the taste of the food would definitely compensate for it if it were bad.\n\nThis is for sure now on my list of one of my favorite indian restaurants, and fortunately for me it's not too far from me.\nI really hope they keep this up."^^ . .
