The 38 Best Restaurants in Markham, Ontario | Eater

"This is not your average high-end restaurant specializing in traditional Mughlai/northern Indian dishes. Yes, it offers a variety of tandoori meats that are impeccably fired, as well as curries and Hakka fare, but the portion of its menu dedicated to the namesake dum pukht cooking is what’s generating buzz among Markham’s food cognoscente. Chicken, mutton, biryani, or vegetables are slow-cooked over low heat in clay or copper vessels sealed with dough, resulting in a flavor and fragrance bomb. The lush restaurant also has an inviting bar, where nondrinkers can try the house-made nimbu pani, a refreshing lemon-infused soda with black salt and Indian spices. [$$]" - Faiyaz Kara
