Hands down the best fresh naan I've ever had.
Lamb vindaloo had a good amount meat and was decently spiced, but heavy on the salt.
Waiter recommended a veggie jalfrezie type dish that included paneer, it was delish.
Yum yum for quick inexpensive…More »

I agree with most of the other yelp reviews that it is:
1. cheap
2. one size fits all
3. interesting not too standard clothing choices

BUT
1. the quality is CHEAP
2. no returns/refunds
3. sales people are shit annoying

Better quality clothes can be found…More »

My sister is obsessed with this store and she has good reason to.  This shoe store carries a variety of shoes that can not be easily found anywhere else.  Granted, the store is pretty much, full of mocassins, fryes, hunters, chucks, havianas, vans,…More »

I've been to Ten Thousand Village in Ithaca, NY and loved the concept of the store (fair trade/labour).  Stumbling upon this store on Bloor was unexpected and refreshing.  I found the store very small with basic houseware/decorations type items and a…More »

OK, so I might not be the best judge since I haven't really been to many cigar shops. However, this place has a crazy selection of cigars and I always come here to get them for my bf.  The staff are helpful and not condescending at all.  They always…More »

Needed a wireless router bad. Thought that Future Shop would be better than Best Buy because I'd be supporting a Canadian business. Wikied Future shop and found out that Best Buy owns it. Why do I try?

Easy to use, lots of people helping. Not bad.

I have a feeling this store has had a major upgrade since Kim B's post.  I tried to find this place by searching for jewelry, but could not for the life of me find the store.  

So this store is definitely not just cards and stationary, it now has a…More »

Came to Bouclair looking for wreaths.  There was no one in the store but two people working and chatting.  No one manning the registers.  The place is half empty and pretty much looks like it's going out of business.

This is one of my favorite places to eat.  The seafood congee and the beef and rice noodle dish are delicious- I could eat it all day. I've don't think I've ever had congee as good as this place.

This is one of the most crowded and small Forever's I've been too. The only redeeming factor is that last year on Boxing Day I got a free gift card worth $21.  This year there was nothing...maybe I just got there too late.

Roots is a great Canadian store but it's prices are so steep that it's not competitive with American stores. :(
