Faheem — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 11:07:13 GMT

Faheem's fave Southern Indian veggie cuisine is at Saravanaa Bhavan

Faheem — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 22:30:27 GMT

Faheem's fave Southern Indian veggie cuisine is at Saravanaa Bhavan because 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.

Faheem's fave comedy club is at Yuk Yuk's (on Richmond)

Faheem — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 19:42:35 GMT

Faheem's fave comedy club is at Yuk Yuk's (on Richmond) because 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.

Faheem's fave Live Music Venue is at The Cameron Public House

Faheem — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 18:06:52 GMT

Faheem's fave Live Music Venue is at The Cameron Public House because 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.

Faheem's fave Thai Food is at Green Onion Pan Asian cuisine

Faheem — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 00:41:14 GMT

Faheem's fave Thai Food is at Green Onion Pan Asian cuisine because 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.

Faheem's fave Indian chaat is at Bombay Bhel

Faheem — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:46:13 GMT

Faheem's fave Indian chaat is at Bombay Bhel because 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.

Faheem's fave Persian Restaurant is at Banu - Iranian kabob vodka bar

Faheem — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:26:05 GMT

Faheem's fave Persian Restaurant is at Banu - Iranian kabob vodka bar because 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.

Faheem's fave Mediterranean restaurant is at Politica Resto Bar

Faheem — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:23:59 GMT

Faheem's fave Mediterranean restaurant is at Politica Resto Bar because 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.

Faheem's fave Belgian Waffle is at 360 The Restaurant at the CN Tower

Faheem — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 19:52:12 GMT

Faheem's fave Belgian Waffle is at 360 The Restaurant at the CN Tower because It's huge and soft, as are most other desserts at this restaurant.

Faheem's fave Korean BBQ is at Korean Grill House

Faheem — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 15:19:55 GMT

Faheem's fave Korean BBQ is at Korean Grill House because 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.

Faheem's fave Pakistani cuisine is at Lahore Tika House

Faheem — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 13:35:50 GMT

Faheem's fave Pakistani cuisine is at Lahore Tika House because 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.

Faheem's fave Thai Food is at Salad King Restaurant

Faheem — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 22:48:35 GMT

Faheem's fave Thai Food is at Salad King Restaurant because 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.

Faheem's fave Casbah Cashew Chicken is at Matahari Grill

Faheem — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 17:41:55 GMT

Faheem's fave Casbah Cashew Chicken is at Matahari Grill because Stirfry of chicken breast, peppers and nuts in a tangy tamarind - my all time favourite at Baldwin.

Faheem's fave chicken shawarma is at Quick Pita

Faheem — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 17:04:05 GMT

Faheem's fave chicken shawarma is at Quick Pita because 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.

Faheem's fave Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Breast is at Spring Rolls

Faheem — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 11:28:39 GMT

Faheem's fave Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Breast is at Spring Rolls because can't get enough of this dish at spring rolls. The shiitake mushrooms add to the appeal.

Faheem's fave thin crust pizza is at Pizza Pizza

Faheem — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 09:41:46 GMT

Faheem's fave thin crust pizza is at Pizza Pizza because sweet chili chicken thai and spicy barbeque chicken are great.

Faheem's fave Chinese food is at Asian Legend

Faheem — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 09:26:23 GMT

Faheem's fave Chinese food is at Asian Legend because Great food and not very expensive.

Faheem's fave Afghan restaurant is at Bamiyan Kabob

Faheem — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 12:27:35 GMT

Faheem's fave Afghan restaurant is at Bamiyan Kabob because 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.
