Little India
Before heading to Toronto, I wanted to see if there were any Indian restaurants near my hotel (Sheraton City Centre). Indeed, just a few blocks away was a whole street full of well-rated places. What to choose!
So, on our first night, we selected Little India. Good choice! Located on Queen Street, the comfortable restaurant was warm and snug on a slightly chilly night.
The menu was quite interesting and had a few things that I've not seen before. But even before ordering, we received a basket of pappadum and a tasty parsnip chutney which I've never seen before. Cut into little cubes, at first I thought it was carrots til the waiter informed us otherwise.
For appetizers, we chose the Onion Bhajia and, again, because it's not usually found on the menus of Mutton Rolls. The Onion Bhajia was very good and the Mutton Rolls were good (but not great), basically they were little meat pies, a bit heavy on the dough.
For main courses, we went with the Palak Paneer and a Vegetarian Thali with rice and roti all around. It was a good Palak Paneer and the Vegetarian Thali had a very nice selection of various vegetarian dishes.
Overall, the portions were very large (we had way too much food) and a little on the spicy side (even though we asked for mild) - I'd never had a Palak Paneer that was that hot!
Dinner ended with a complimentary serving of Gulab Jamun. Never one of my favorites (just tooooooo sweet and sticky), so I can't really judge how good it was.
Relatively inexpensive, and even more so with the US/Canadian dollar exchange. Highly recommended.
