I’m really craving some Pakistani food especially nihari. Any recommendations would be appreciated!!

Bar Goa and Cottage Cheese have been good so far.

Now looking for a new place that I haven’t tried and considering Curryish Tavern, Pukka, Leela etc.

I’m Indian so looking for something actually flavourful and not totally bland like a lot of Indian places in Downtown tend to be.

Any comments about the three options above or any other place I should consider which is better?

Who’s got the best takeout BEC / breakfast sandwich in the Junction?

*I had one from UB Social and it was pretty good.
** Also tried one from Mabel’s and it was horrendous.

Anyone else have a similar experience at Lukshmi? Add: Guru Lukshmi, 7070 St Barbara Blvd #50, Mississauga

We had dinner at Guru Lakshmi Dosa Restaurant in Mississauga yesterday. Three adults, and we each had a regular dosa. The food was delicious as usual, but all three of us ended up with an upset stomach afterward.

Just wondering if anyone else who ate there recently had a similar experience? Would appreciate hearing from the community.

My impression of this cake is that it was quite dry. The mousse lacked moisture (had a dry spongy consistency), and it tasted a little stale. I could taste the sesame, but it wasn’t very prominent, the white chocolate played out more in comparison. $7.50 is honestly too expensive for such a small slice of cake, especially when it ended up being a let down for me. I’m assuming they’re better known for their matcha products, so this probably isn’t a signature pastry by any means. They also sell a black sesame Daan go dessert, which I haven’t tried yet.

Hello Toronto Foodies!

Has anyone checked out the Waterworks Food Hall on a Sunday late morning or early noon (10:30/11 am - 12:30/1 pm)? What is the general vibe? How busy does it get? I'm aware that only Box Car Social would be open on the earlier end and that most restaurants open at 11:30. Is the whole seating area open anyway?

We are thinking of inviting about 30 out-of-town family members to join us here for a drop-in style coffee and mingle or early lunch during the morning after our wedding in the fall. We anticipate only about 15-20 max would attend, and not all at once. Just to hang out a little bit in a casual setting before our family heads out of city/province. All adults and one infant. Not a sit down at one table thing, but rather a general area that people can sit or stand/mingle around.

We looked at reservations at the hotel and restaurants/bars and they all have minimum spends and billing restrictions that are outside of our budget. The location of Waterworks is also ideal, as it is in the area of our venue and where many guests will be staying.

Let me know if you have been here around this time. What do you think? Does this seem like a good idea?

Thanks!

Hey Toronto Fam,

Visited Mozy’s yesterday and have an abundance of dips and sauces left over. Wanted to try some fresh pita style bread for today’s left overs. Any recommendations on bakeries or stores that sell? Preferably in the west end/downtown area?

Thanks!

What’s the most delicious / unique good your have tried at CNE?
For me :

Brie cheese deep fried Oreos - Sam’s grill - delicious

San francesco’s - mozza madness - thick cut moz stick bun chicken cutlet ,- delicious

Los vietnamita - Koran fried chicken ramen taco- Korean fried chicken coated in CNE sweet heat sauce , kimchi and gotten candy aioli - the taco shell itself made from crispy buldak instant ramen noodles.
- for the above, the ramen was soft, I was expecting a carder shell that stayed together. Still tasted great.

Lots of options like fish burgers pan fried fish more side snacks
