My friend and I found this place as a small hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant. We were the only ones in the restaurant so service was not an issue. It took some time to get our food but I felt the meals were freshly cooked and tasted great! Overall they have great food, but if you're wanting to be in the midst of people this wouldn't be the place for that. I would definitely opt for the take out however. I believe the signature dish is the lamb curry and the portion sizes were quite filling.

This place is just down the street from where I work and lots of co-workers rave about this place. I've had it a few times and meh. It's okay but nothing special. To be honest, one of the times the chicken was bad and I didn't even eat it. Their salad is good, I like their dressing. Their mango juice is also very good too, so are their samosas. Make sure you're not in a hurry if you're eating here-they're notorious for taking a long time for food. Service isn't overly-friendly, but efficient. The atmosphere is also a little drab...it's in a basement so what can you expect.

Matagali is an easy-to-miss Indian restaurant, tucked into a basement in a rather undeveloped side street just off Bay. They apparently do a lot of business with the staffs of the big local institutions around, such as hospitals like Sick Kids and even the AGO.
They used to be closed (inexplicably) for lunch, but the hours have improved, which is certainly good. Service was a bit on the slow side when I was last here, but once the food arrived, all was well. While Matagali does Thai food too, word is the Indian cuisine is better, and the Butter Chicken I had was quite tasty. -

I was SO impressed by this wee place! It only holds about twenty people, and when we went it was completely empty (and stayed so for the entier meal), but the service was great and the food was INCREDIBLE! We had a couple of curries (a butter chicken and a chicken korma) and the butter chicken was mind-blowing! We went about a month ago and I have been craving their food ever since! It's a good thing we live two minutes down the road, we'll definitely be going again, and soon!

Close to hospital row, this restaurant is hidden underneath a few run-down looking houses on Elm St. This restaurant serves both Indian & Thai cuisine. I had the curry with tilapia. It was amazing. The tandoori chicken is suggested as well. Service there was very good, and the price is quite cheap as well.

I'm from Chicago and this place beats anything I have in my neighborhood here. Ate here twice during SMX Toronto 2010 at night. Very chill, laid back service. Not a place to eat if you are in a hurry. But the food here is wonderful and highly flavorful! Great stuff.
