Re: Fave Southern Indian veggie cuisine at Saravan

Oh my goodness! I'm glad that someone who would REALLY know would also agree with my uneducated assessment that the food at Saravanna Bhavan is authentic and yummy. Woot! :) Another shared fave. My most extensive dosa-eating experiences are from Singapore and Malaysia but in Toronto, I really like the ones at Saravanna Bhavan best. I know that many people like Chennai Chef at Steeles & Kennedy, but I found the food I tried there a tad salty. Anyway, happy to learn that you (an obvious expert in the cuisine) dig one of my fave spots for South Indian veggie cuisine. :D

Thanks for the most fantastic compliment, Faheem! I really appreciate your kind words especially since I do take care to write thorough reviews. Love your faves too. I share many of the same opinions and can't wait to try a few new discoveries! Definitely agree that the TRL is a great place to work.

Having grown up in Chennai, India (home of the original Saravanaa Bhavan), I've been to several SB branches over the years. Still, I find it impossible to tell the difference between the food at the Canadian branches and that of the ones back home - it's as authentic as it can be. Don't leave without trying masaala dosa, idly and saambhar vada. If you're feeling adventurous try 'South Indian Thaali', which is a combination of around 20 different kinds of food in one plate.

By far the most 'proactive' comedy club chain in Canada, showcasing the best talent from across the country. There's always something new going on, whether it's the Great Canadian Laugh-off contest or Club specials. Makes for a real fun evening.

This "long-standing bastion of art and culture at Queen Street West" has some talented indie bands playing almost every evening; genres range from classic jazz to old-time country, from swing to celtic mariachi. The art-music-theatre-bar's unique and independent soul is evident through beautiful murals both on the walls and the ceiling. I hear October's got a decent line up of new bands. I'm definitely going back.

Green Onion Pan Asian cuisine
112 Dundas Street West
Toronto p: 416-599-8308

I rate the food 3.5/5 (compared to other Thai restaurants llike East, Salad King, etc. which I think are slightly better), but the most amazing thing about Green Onion is the service. I had dinner here tonight (busy) with six other people, and our soup, appetizers and entrees all arrived in under 10 minutes. If you're in the area and need to have a quick meal, this joint might be a good choice.

Authentic Indian chaat. Best I've had in Toronto. The 'Sev Puri' is particularly good. Bombay Bhel's also got a decent regular Indian menu, and their portions are astoundingly large. I ordered 'Achaari Kabab' with fries (delicious), and it was a meal fit for an ogre.

Very classy restaurant/bar/lounge. Koobideh Loghmegh (grilled, ground, gnashed, minced sirloin kabob wrapped in flat lavash bread!) and Doogh (carbonated yoghurt drink) stand out.

Nice, swanky restaurant in a quiet neighbourhood. A bit pricey, but worth it all the same. My favourites are the Crsipy Cornmeal Crusted Calamari and the grilled Atlantic Salmon (melts in your mouth). And of course, the Genoa Ricotta is the best pizza I've had in a long time.

Good fun with a group of friends. Cooking gets a bit tedious, though; so have one of your nice friends do it for you. Watch out for the ludicrously loud 'gong' that is used to announce a patron's birthday.

Heaven for meat lovers. Possibly the best Mughlai/Pakistani cuisine I've ever had. The seekh kabab, chicken tikka and butter chicken are unbeatable. Sure, the food's greasy, but it doesn't hurt to eat here once in a while. And while you're at it, try Kulfi for dessert.

Best fried calamari ever. Quick and cordial service. Make sure you specify how spicy you want your food to be. Failure to do so might result in a meal that's as underspiced as Posh Spice's singing talents.

Stirfry of chicken breast, peppers and nuts in a tangy tamarind - my all time favourite at Baldwin.

Quick Pita
65 Duncan Street
Toronto M5V 2C5

My biggest concern when deciding on a shawarma is this: how well is it wrapped? The last thing I want is humus and garlic paste on my clothes. Quick pita's shawarmas score well in this aspect. And the chicken is both soft and crispy.

Authentic afghani food - the chaplee kabob is delicious, so is the half-chicken! It's a family-friendly restaurant, and what makes it special is that the food and service are consistent. That's what makes me go back to Bamiyan again and again.
