Re: Best Restaurants in Toronto or GTA
Lahore Tikka House is over-priced, and they get u to eat in styrofoam plates/cups. Plastic spoons/forks, what a disgrace.
If i am going to pay over 10 bucks per dish, i expect proper cutlery not this plastic garbage.
Other restaurants we like in scarborough are: Tabaq Restaurant (they make good nan/roti, chicken roast), etc, on Danforth Rd
Silverspoon on warden/ellesmere is good, and price is reasonable (though they raised prices recently)
Shaheen Tikka on overlea is good near DonMills/Overlea.
If you like really spicy, try Desi Taste on Markham Rd near Eglinton E (near the Batala Supermarket store), its a small take-out place, no room to dine-in…
Nandos is like fast food so not really a desi restaurant…
if you’re at Gerard St, give desi burger house a try. they got spicy dahi bhallay, burgers, chaat, etc. (be prepared for indifferent attitude though, staff not so welcoming with smiles, its like a chore for them now that the place gets business)
The tricks at most of these restaurants is to order the chicken dishes. A lot of times, the beef/lamb dishes, despite being expensive, turn out to be mediocre in taste and tenderness of the meats, and the portions are reduced/small. Not worth ordering the lambs we found.
For the few times a year if we eat out, we now order chicken dishes, order the kebabs(lamb if available), etc. It works out better as there is no big disappoinment…
