Recommended Pakistani/Indian/Desi food spots in Toronto GTA

We used to do regular takeout from here but something has changed in the past few months. The biryanis are weak now and do not have the spice complexity as before. It was probably the only place in that neighbourhood we would spend $20+ for a biryani but not anymore.

Reporting back to biryani from bindia hmmm very bland and just run of the mill stuff. Not much chicken as well at this price point I would say pass.

I understand Mumbaikar has good vada pav.

I stopped by Mayil Coffee on College near Ossington on the weekend. Their dirty chai was really nice.

The masala chai has a lot more kick then most.

They have South Asian- inspired macarons in 3 flavours.

The food offerings are mostly things like idli and egg puffs, as well as some coffee shop staples like banana bread.

Samrat on College has sandwiches now, as well as Pan Indian standard dishes. It’s mostly a take-out spot. I rarely seen anyone dining inside. They have really cheap beer , to try to attract more dining in traffic.

This has been around for awhile in the UK - I spotted it on a menu in Wembley, London in September 2023:

I think so! I have not tried it yet!

Sort of focusing on less carbs lately, but maybe I will try a bucket eventually.

I wonder if it would freeze well? Might be a real bargain if it’s good then! Biryani can be so rich a little goes a long way and a raita/salad cuts through the richness nicely.
