I love this place! I always have to make a stop here when I'm in Winnipeg. It can be very busy during the week when they have their buffet which I haven't been to in a long time. But, generally it's not too busy and they let you choose where you want to sit. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. Even though on the menu items are listed as meat dishes, its all mock meat. Its one of the few completely vegetarian restaurants in the Peg. I always get the curry "pork" and the "ham" and pepper fried rice. I'll be paying Affinity a visit in July when I'm home again.

I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars.
I've been here in the past and had the sizzling mushrooms, and they were amazing. I was here the other night and got a combo plate and I was less impressed.
I got Combo E, which is curry veggiepork & potatoes, a spring roll, soup (I got hot & sour), rice (I got brown) and dessert (deep fried banana balls with lemon sauce.) I also ordered an iced ginger tea.
The soup was tasty and quite hot, but less sour than I like it. They brought out some vinegar which helped it along, though I think brown or red vinegar would have been more on target flavour-wise than the clear stuff they offered (white? maybe rice?)
The spring roll was super tasty, hot and crispy. Thumbs up!
The curry was served over the rice, with steamed broccoli and carrots on the side. The sauce was pretty good, the potatoes were cooked right and the "pork" had a very meat-like texture and tasted pretty good, but somehow the dish was just underwhelming. The steamed veggies were perfectly cooked.
The banana balls were light and crispy and the lemon sauce was the perfect touch. Definitely a winner.
The iced ginger tea was very tasty. Very spicy and not too sweet, it tasted like it was a tisane made from fresh ginger. No actual tea leaves were involved.
Next time I go I think I'll stay away from the fake meat dishes and stick to ingredients that aren't trying to be something they're not.
The atmosphere and service are average. -

Great vegetarian food, but service and atmosphere is lacking.
I find the space uncomfortable, like you're dining in a curtained part of a bigger space. Go during the late afternoon, because as it is with three couples in the restaurant, it will take 30 minutes to have your food ready. -

What can I say I liked the food with the exception that it was a little greasier then I expect. It is a plan looking restaurant with a good menu, and ok food. The service was not fast, but the food arrived fresh and just cooked. I have to make it by the lunch buffet. All in all a restaurant I would drop into when nearby, but would not make it a special trip.
