Ironically since this is a South Indian place, the butter chicken was the best curry (though the chicken pieces seemed to be yesterday's Tandoori chicken & were on the dry/tough/bony & non meaty side). There was one seafood item (fish curry). Nothing was labelled & they put desserts beside food items, so sweet rice porridge was beside 2 spicy soups & deep fried bananas were beside Tandoori chicken. This led to some surprising mouthfuls.

Dosa (served to the table) was thin & crispy but tasted a bit burnt & the fermented lentil taste was not as good as usual. Parotta was really good - thin, flaky & crispy. Even when old it was still pretty good.  The fried bananas were good with sweet bananas & thin batter. Fruit cocktail was just canned fruit in diluted mango puree.

It was a South Indian meal made in heaven. Their sambar was heavenly! I have a feeling the secret ingredient is tears of angel. Coconut chutney is one of the freshest and best in the city! I am a big fan of their fluffy idly ($5.49). Plain dosa was crisp and flavourful ($6.99). Overall, I highly recommend Desi Mane for a satisfying meal.

This is a review for delivery…read more At My Roti Place, the filling of their veggie samosas ($5.95 for two) is even more reminiscent of spring: the potatoes are mashed and mixed with peas and other vegetables to create an airy light bite. Meanwhile, the wrapper is still a thicker variety that soaks in the oil - it would be great if these were drained a bit longer - so it's not necessarily fully summer friendly. Since it was my first visit, a classic roti seemed like a smart start, the shell is super thin and slightly chewy so that it helps hold together the thick saucy filling but melts away as you're eating. These are a knife and fork eat as the saag paneer roti ($11.95) incorporated huge chunks of the soft Indian cheese and plenty of thick green spinach sauce that just tingles the tongue at the medium spice level - I think I can advance a step in my next order. While the spinach-based roti was tasty, the mom's classic curry was even better and will become my go-to sauce mixed with any protein - a safe combination is pairing it with chicken ($12.95). My Roti Place doesn't skimp on the meat as there were large pieces of chicken breast scattered throughout. I do need to figure out how to best re-heat the roti the next day. The go-to toaster oven method was decent and created a bit of crunch around the taller edges, but the centre was still so mushy. Maybe I'll toast it in a frying pan next time to develop a crust on all sides. The dinner arrived with complimentary fried chip rings (savoury with a hint of spice) and dessert. Normally, I've shy away from gulab jamun as they are too sugary for my liking. My Roti Place's version is a perfect balanced ending - I can best describe it as an old fashion plain Timbit soaked in a sweet thin sauce, you'd associate with crème caramel. It's absolutely delicious.

This location is actually a combination My Roti Place/My Dosa Place, and although we're big roti…read morefans, we figured it was a good night to try something new and order a dosa. We decided to start with That Veggie Samosa ("Quintessential Indian savory pastry, potato and peas stuffing") and they were delicious. The crispy pastry shell was the perfect vehicle for a very flavorful interior, while the two included sauces really kicked the whole thing up several notches. For our main, we decided to try the Chicken Tikka Dosa ("Stuffing of white meat chicken, bell peppers, and onions"), which comes with "two Cold Chutneys, Coconut and Tomato, and Sambhar Lentil Soup." It's good, but the food definitely suffered in the journey from the restaurant to our apartment. It turns out dosas don't really travel all that well, as it became kind of hard around the edges and soggy in the middle. However, the chicken tikka inside was really, really tasty, and the accompanying soup was just as delicious. I probably wouldn't ever order a dosa for delivery again, especially when the roti/rice option is right there.

I had to find a quick solution and spoke to Jaipur and ordered me a full tray of the best butter chicken in the world and 3 garlic naans. Chunky pieces of juicy flavourful tandoori chicken swimming in a pool of buttery tomato sauce was so addictive ! They make the best gravy!! We could just eat this every day! They loaned us a aluminum restaurant tray so we could transport it home safely. I can't believe we polished the tray off in 2 days.My goodness! I knew I had to write another review bc my last review was from 6 yrs ago. Salivating just looking at the pictures I posted. Tomorrow I'm placing 2 additional orders of this glorious creation and will portion them out and freeze them like we initially discussed with Jaipur. Amritsari fish is quite tasty too. One day I will try other items on the menu but Butter Chicken is must every time I visit!

**South India on a Plate, No Flight Needed**…read more Came here as a student at York University, and it's been my all-time favorite South Indian spot ever since. Whether it's breakfast, brunch, or lunch, this place delivers the kind of authentic flavors that instantly transport you to South India. The food here is consistently amazing. My go-to is always the Mysore Masala Dosa and the vegetarian Parontha, but if I'm dining with a partner, I never miss the Vada Sambhar plate, with its two medu vadas and two idlis. Every bite hits that perfect balance of spice, texture, and comfort that makes you forget everything else. The atmosphere adds to the charm -- the walls are lined with large posters of South Indian stars and legends, and the music playing in the background completes the cozy, immersive vibe. It's the kind of place that feels both lively and relaxed at the same time. Service can be a bit slow, likely because they're a little understaffed, and there's often a fair wait during weekends or peak hours. Delivery through Uber Eats is an option, but in-person is where the experience really shines. Despite the wait, once the food arrives, all minor complaints disappear. If there's room for improvement, a slightly larger team on busy days could help speed up service and make the experience smoother for everyone. All in all, this is a spot I'll always return to -- it's perfect for anyone craving authentic South Indian flavors in a comfortable, welcoming setting.

From my numerous experiences eating at Bhoj (at Spadina and Bloor), I have come to the conclusion…read morethat Bhoj makes the best Indian food in town! Apart from the divine and delicate taste of the wonderful dishes it prepares, I've noticed that it is light on salt and light on oil. After finishing one of their delicious fragrantly spiced meals, you don't feel weighed down or dying of thirst as I often come away feeling after eating at other Indian restaurants. Whether you eat in or take it out, you can always look forward to a joyful feast for the palate and for the soul! And by the way, their chicken dishes are so tender and finger-lickin' good!!!! But then again, everything at Bhoj is to die for. The restaurant itself is very clean, simple and plain in direct contrast to the food which explodes with deliciousness!!! Suffice it to say that I simply love it!
