"Gurnam Singh Mahli’s eponymous restaurant on Jarry Street serves all kinds of dishes from across India, though specializes in Punjabi cuisine. Malhi Sweets has an excellent selection of warming curries, including dal makhani (a creamy lentil stew), palak paneer (spinach with cheese cubes), and baingan bharta (a smoky eggplant mash). It’s a longstanding favourite for its naan and pakoras (available by the pound) and group-friendly dining room." - Valerie Silva, JP Karwacki
