nawa aaya hai sowneya :)

Rexdale is a desi area on the west end of Toronto - close to the Airport. After Gerrard, its the biggest Desi business community in the GTA.

Re: desi stores in Toronto area

rexdale and islington. across from sears outlet. u can get some really good mangoes from suaga area.. there are some shops in scarb around markham n eglinton and kingston and elsmere as well. karachi bazaar and bombay bazaar are in scarb as well. there are some in downtown along bloor n ossignton area too.
toronto is full of desi halal stores.
where do u live?

Re: desi stores in Toronto area

I live in Virginia and will be visiting Toronto area for the first time.
I love mangoes when I lived in Pakistan and someone told me they get those in Toronto, so I'm really looking forward to some when I'm there.

I think there are some other threads on Toronto that talks about good places to eat. I will check that out too....most of them seem to be on Gerrard street.

Re: desi stores in Toronto area

Can you name a couple of stores? If you can provide address or phone number for them that would be helpful, otherwise I'll do a search on the net.

thanks.

Re: desi stores in Toronto area

I was visiting my aunt in East York and I saw a guy selling pakistani mangoes from the back of a minivan parked by the kerb on Thorncliffe Park Drive

Re: desi stores in Toronto area

aah yes… good ole Thorncliffe… did you not see any aunties sitting on the sidewalk while their lil boys played cricket in the middle of the road? or better yet desi uncles sitting on the bridge railing and blabbering on.

Talking about Thorncliffe, Iqbal Foods in Thorncliffe might have mangoes too.

Re: desi stores in Toronto area

once u land in toronto, go to any desi store.. there will be lots of urdu newspapers there. pick one up and go through it. u'll find all the addresses and phone numbers.

Re: desi stores in Toronto area

That's a good idea suroor. Will do that.

Re: desi stores in Toronto area

See if these can help. You can try calling up whatever places have phone numbers.
