Review from Bradley N.

Pure. Gujarati. Food.
Pretty much says it all, right? Sometimes a vegetarian buffet made to order and continually replenished is all you really need as a quick culinary introduction to Scarborough, a dynamic and growing eastern suburb of Toronto. This is an epicenter of South and East migration, and it has left an indelible and delicious imprint on the landscape. This isn't about generic "Indian" food: these are regional delicacies and specialty dishes: lentils, chick peas, potatoes, all sorts of rice and breads and chutneys and spinach and tomatoes and garlic and onions and the sweet smells and intoxicating aromas of spice after spice after spice ... A sensual feast for a fraction of the cost of the what you would pay in the downtown districts.
Really, that's not a bad way to get lunch, at all. In fact, it's one of the more memorable meals out I've had in months. Served on metal trays and tiny bowls, all in a shopping district catering to the local South Asia community who are its most frequent guests.You feel right at home even if you've never been to Northwest India or tried this style of food before.
