Flavorful dishes, prompt service, and reasonable prices make this Indian restaurant a local lunch favorite.

The Scene
Lunch hour office cliques and weary Mag Mile shoppers drift into this second-floor restaurant for a quick and inexpensive bite to eat. An inconspicuous entry makes the place easy to miss, but once inside, diners are treated to a spacious, quiet dining room and bar area. Broad windows overlooking Ontario Street illuminate a mauve interior, dotted with hanging plants and landscape paintings.

The Food
At this location, the spotlight's on the lunch buffet. Diners are welcomed with a plate of chicken tandoori and set loose on an array of traditional dishes, from samosas (fried potato dumplings) and chana masala (a tangy chick pea stew) to chicken curry and goat meat. Tender pulled chicken and mild spices make the curry a good bet for sensitive palates, while the more adventuresome can enjoy a sundry assortment of fiery plates from the full menu, from seafood to shish kabob.
