Next Gen Indian Is the Most Exciting Food Movement in Toronto

"This Michelin-recognized restaurant, opened in 2022 on a tony stretch of Avenue Road, presents Indian street-food sensibilities in couture-like fashion within a long, slinky room that evokes a luxury train. Its visually arresting puri—hot pink and likened to a Georgia O'Keeffe flower—is served as Rani Kachori, a queenly take on a traditional Raj Kachori meant to honor the strength and elegance of women, according to co-founder Ambica Jain. The menu leans theatrical and refined, featuring items like Patrani Macchi (mint- and coconut-marinated Chilean sea bass steamed in banana leaf) and Royal Pista Lamb Chops crusted in pistachios and gold, and has attracted a roster of notable visitors, signaling a new wave of high-concept Indian dining in the city." - Shinan Govani
