Curryish Tavern

33 Best Restaurants in Toronto, From Québécois to Sushi | Condé Nast Traveler

"Chef Miheere Shete took a risk in opening this pseudo-Indian restaurant, whose menu has a certain “-ish factor,” as he puts it. Think of it less as a fusion spot and more of an evolution of Indian cuisine, where flavors and techniques from the subcontinent lend themselves to seasonal Canadian ingredients. The confit duck leg, for example, comes spiced with Maharashtrian goda masala, a foie gras curry and pickled grapes. In a city with absolutely no shortage of fantastic Indian cuisine, Curryish Tarvern’s new proposition stands out, making it a destination dining spot for local and visiting foodies alike. As mentioned, it's difficult in a city like Toronto to pinpoint just one (or even just ten) excellent Indian restaurants, but this one feels singular—like a destination in its own right. If you're interested how Indian flavors and techniques can adapt to seasonally-driven Canadian ingredients, this one is a must try." - Todd Plummer
