Eating The Subcontinent

Reviews of restaurants representing the cuisine of the Indian Subcontinent: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Places to try at the top, places to avoid at the bottom.

1. Babu Catering-Takeout-Bakery

4800 Sheppard Ave E
Scarborough, ON M1S 4N5
(416) 916-8101

Category: Indian

Neighbourhood: Scarborough

9/1/2010 ROTD 5/10/2011

Getting to Babu Catering required a 1.5 hour TTC adventure from downtown Toronto to a nondescript strip mall in the furthest reaches of Scarborough. Despite this mission I'd happily go back again right now; it's that good.

As soon as I walked in the…More »

2. Anando Restaurant

Toronto, ON M4C 1M3
(416) 698-9166

Categories: Indian, Pakistani

Neighbourhood: The Danforth

8/21/2010 First to Review

This small, nondescript Bengali restaurant on the far end of Danforth is a total find. Absolutely amazing food, friendly patrons and and staff, and low prices.

Upon striking up a conversation with some other customers we learned this is one of the few…More »

3. Mother India

1456 Queen St W
Toronto, ON M6K 1M2
(416) 588-4634

Category: Indian

Neighbourhood: Parkdale

3/11/2010 ROTD 10/12/2010

For my 100th review I wanted to pick a place that lived up to the honour and represented exactly the type of restaurant I love. Food that's delicious, cheap, and plentiful. Good vegetarian options. A bit of a hole in the wall. The kind of place that…More »

4. Banjara Indian Cuisine

796 Bloor Street West
Toronto, ON M6G 1L7
(416) 963-9360

Category: Indian

Neighbourhoods: Christie Pits, Bickford Park

1/5/2010

Banjara is my favourite Indian restaurant this side of Little India. I generally try to eat vegetarian and there are lots of excellent veggy options on the menu here. Anything I've tried has been good but I'm particularly fond of Mater Paneer, Palak…More »

5. Makkah Restaurant

1020 Danforth Ave
Toronto, ON M4J 1M2
(416) 406-2056

Categories: Indian, Pakistani

Neighbourhood: The Danforth

3/20/2010

According to the sign, Makkah is the largest halal restaurant in Toronto. Not sure if that's true but they do make some damn good Pakistani/Indian eats.

For $5 with tax, I had a foot long kebab, a piece of naan, and a salad. The kebab is Turkish or…More »

6. Madras Masala

796 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M6G 1L7
(647) 342-4359

Category: Indian

Neighbourhoods: Christie Pits, Bickford Park

4/20/2010

Madras Masala is Banjara's (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) less popular, South Indian cousin. It's in the same building as Banjara, has the same owners, and prices are similar, yet it's not nearly as busy.

The space is a little awkward; it's in a former…More »

7. Hopper Hut

880 Ellesmere Rd
Scarborough, ON M1P 2W6
(416) 299-4311

Category: Indian

Neighbourhood: Scarborough

3/10/2010

Hopper Hut was my first experience with Sri Lankan food and, while my experience was mixed, it was certainly worth the trip out to Scarborough to try this unique cuisine. Portions were large, prices low, and the food was interesting and mostly good.…More »

8. Veda Healthy Indian Takeout

874 Yonge St
Toronto, ON M4W 2J1
(416) 961-9797

Categories: Indian, Food Delivery Services, Fast Food

Neighbourhood: Yorkville

1/29/2010 First to Review

One Word Summary: Bland.

A simple menu of quick, healthy, cheapish Indian served in a clean, modern space sounds like a no-brainer. Unfortunately, Veda doesn't come through in the taste department. They are the Indian equivalent of all the Southeast…More »

Recently updated lists from Matthew S.

Poutine (8) Fries. Cheese. Gravy. One of the few truly Canadian dishes and probably the greatest food on Earth.	Life in Guelph (9) I've recently moved from Toronto to Guelph. This is a list of some of the places I've discovered here.
East Asian Favourites (9) Japanese, Chinese, and Korean restaurants worth checking out.	My Neighbourhood - Ossington & Bloor (11) I've been living at Ossington & Bloor for a few years now and I love the area. This is a list of places I frequent in the area: restaurants, shops, and services. A work in progress as I try new places and write more reviews.
South of The Border (11) Mexican, Tex-Mex, and all other Latin American or Latin American inspired food.	South-East Asian Eats (6) All my Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Malaysian restaurant reviews. Good places at the top, bad places at the bottom.
Breakfast and Brunch (5) I've recently resolved to explore the hippest meal of the day: Brunch. These are my findings in order of goodness.	Eating in the Boonies (6) I'm a born and raised downtown Torontonian and I rarely get out of the city's core. High Park, Eglinton, and the Don River are the rough limits of my Toronto. These are some of the places I've ventured out of my geographical comfort zone to eat at.
