183.0. "Indian Restaurants in TORONTO" by PHLACT::RUPARELIA (Out of Africa . . . 8-)) Sun May 21 1989 15:08

    Hello!!
    
    Me and a few friends are planning to drive up from Pennsylvania
    to Niagra Falls and then onto Toronto for the Memorial Day Weekend
    (5/26).

    I would appreciate it if someone could suggest a good Spicy Indian
    Restaurant in Toronto.  I hear that they have some great places to eat
    Indian food.
                                              
    Regards
    
    Piyush
    
    P.S.  If this information can be found in any other note in this
    file please point me to it, again, thanks.

183.1	A few (but there have to be more)	TRCA01::OBRIEN	Glenn O'Brien @TRC 18/6	`Tue May 23 1989 15:38`	22
	I can't comment on any of these restaurants, but they are listed in Goodlife's Tastes of Toronto (1988 edition). The first is downtown, the rest are in the east end of Metro. There are undoubtedly more, but that's all I have listed. Bombay Palace - chain of restaurants worldwide - semi-formal - dinner for two with wine: $45 - 71 Jarvis St. (368-8048) Oriental Indian Kitchen - casual - 2783 Danforth Ave. (699-8947) Shala-Mar - casual - 427 Donlands (425-3663) Sher-E-Punjab - casual - 351 Danforth Ave. (465-2125)
183.2	Thai maybe?	TRCA01::OBRIEN	Glenn O'Brien @TRC 18/6	`Tue May 23 1989 15:43`	4
	If you like Thai food, there is a good restaurant near our dowtown office. It's called Bangkok Gardens and is highly recommended. It's located at 18 Elm St. (between Yonge and Bay). The phone number is 977-6748 and you should reserve.

	Thanks for the Info. I'll let you know which ones I went to. Regards
183.4	An Ex will go well!	TROA02::KAMMIN		`Thu May 25 1989 15:40`	6
	My favourite is the Moghal at 33 Elm Street. There are three others, but I like this location the best. Whenever I try another Indian restaurant in Toronto, I regret not having gone there. I hear Woodlands at 177 College Street (there is another one now at 456 Bloor St. W.) is excellent. I'm going to try that next time I don't go to the Moghal.
183.5	<Gerrard St.>	TRCA03::SANDHU		`Mon May 29 1989 12:27`	12
	There is yet another Mugal (Moghal?) in Markham just north of Steeles on Warden. My favourite is the one on Bloor, just east of Bathurst. For the visitor to T.O. : There is a whole area of Indian shops and restaurants in Toronto on Gerrard St. I think its called India Town or Little India or something like that. While places like the Moghal cater more the Western palate, Gerrard street is more like what things might be in India - the atmosphere is less formal and the food more spicey etc. I think there is also a similar India Town in around Malton or Brampton. Maybe others know more about that.
183.6	Woodlands Restaurant	TROA02::BRAY	Food, glorious food ....	`Tue Jun 06 1989 16:22`	15
	Re: 183.4 My wife and I went to the Woodlands Restaurant at 456 Bloor St. West about a month ago. It really is very good. It's moderately priced (maximum $8 to $10 per entree), and there is a good selection of both meat dishes and vegetarian dishes (the Thali Platter at about $7.50 is excellent, and is enough for one normal sized appetite). Also, their Paper Masala must be one of the longest dishes I've ever seen in a restaurant - it overlaps both ends of your plate! Don't expect plush surroundings there; the tables and chairs are fairly spartan, but the quality of the food more than makes up for that. My wife and I really pigged out and still spent less than $35. Peter B.
