This one is supposedly helmed by Chef Bhagwani who owns the Amaya chain in Toronto. The open bar/restaurant is visually appealing... tons of gold, oranges, and glass accents are everywhere in a very modern soaring area. White bar chairs complete the elegant look and provides a comfortable seat. The scents of Indian spices are familiar but unfortunately, this is where the pleasant part of the review ends. Similar to Fetta, the staff isn't focused on service and the food here is not much better than President Choice frozen Indian dinners. To put salt into the wound... the prices are high compared to the $2 at Superstore for the same.\n\nI can understand why everything is pre-made as there really is no kitchen in this bar. It has a tiny section where they can warm up your food in a pan but that is it. No real cooking is visibly done here. My colleague ordered a chicken tikka masala and figured who can screw up this easy and common dish... well, it appears that Marathi can. It arrived in a fairly stale bread who's crust has seen better days. The meat itself wasn't hot but instead lukewarm and that was a bit disconcerting. The butter sauce was really oily and heavy which probably isn't a good thing before a flight out and according to his taste buds, it was bland! He did mention the only flavour he got was really the onion as it had a lot of it and very little other vegetables (even though it mentioned it supposedly had peppers). \n\nFor $14, it should have been edible but my colleague just ate a quarter of it before going to Fetta to grab a ham sandwich. The sad part of this tale was that the server took the plate away and asked if he wanted anything else. My colleague did mention all the issues and all he got in response was a shrug. Service with a smile....? Not at all... more like taking your money and laughing all the way to the bank."^^ . . . "2014-05-11T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ .
