Jamil's Chaat House

@elvisahmed Rickshaw Bar was great. Where did the chef go?

@medgirl, a short stretch of Ossington Ave between Queen St West and Dundas St West in Toronto is a trendy/ hipster area with high prices, geared to somewhat white bread tastes, often not tailored to what people very familiar with certain regional cuisines are seeking out.

There’s also a fancy Greek place, Mamakas, on Ossington that many people like Most Greek Canadians in the Greater Toronto Area find their food meh or overpriced. A few of my non Greek friends who genuinely love Greek food, love this place. I have been 3 times, twice with Canadians who are not Greek, and once with Greek Canadians, including 3 who grew up in the restaurant business. It’s good, but it is tailored to non-Greek Cdn expectations.

Watered down food, posh spaces. Often more style than substance.
