I really wasn't expecting much from this place since there are so many other good Indian restaurants in the area. However, these small Indian sweets and restaurant type places remind me of Chinese wonton noodle joints. They're small, usually family-run; but they can also be very good! First off, by looking at the menu, I noticed they were a bit cheaper than all th
I decided to go for a favourite of mine, Lamb Vindaloo. I got Basmati Rice and Garlic Naan to go with my curry. I didn't have to wait long for my food, as it arrived in about 5 minutes later. I normally do not say this; but there was too much food! Yes, the Vindaloo itself was packed with tender lamb and potatoes. Moreover,

The server didn't ask me how I wanted the Vindaloo and it came out quite spicy. However, it wasn't spicy enough to mask the other flavours. The reason I like Vindaloo is mostly the vinegar taste, I like zing in my food. The garlic naan was quite flavourful and crispy. It reminded me of fry bread or Bannock you'd find at the PNE. I actually liked this crispy naan, it was good to hav
This meal was much better than expected. Sometimes, the best food is found in the most unlikely of places. Of course the food wasn't the best I ever had, not even close. But at such a reasonable price, it was a satisfying and delicious lunch.
The Good:
- Inexpensive
- Good portions
- Food was good
The Bad:
- No ambiance here
- No service here
- Klennex instead of napkins?

If you're looking for South Indian food, I'm pretty sure there are at least a couple South Indian food restaurants between 88th and 92nd avenue. I'm sure I've seen at least two that are open or are opening soon.
Yesterday I found a vegetarian place called Jagga Sweets. They have a pretty limited menu but it's definitely worth trying. I got 2 samosas to go (with chutney) for $1.60. All of their meals are $4.99 which is a great price. Next time I think I'll try the Channa Samosa: 2 samosas with chick pea curry, chutney and salad. They have about a million different types of sweets too, but I don't care for that so I didn't try it.
The samosas were very fresh and I'll definitely be going back for more.
Thanks Sicilian Girl! I've been eyeing the Dosa Grill on Scott Road. I think I'm going to try it out next week.
You're very welcome!
I think I know which restaurant you mean on Scott Road. Actually I thought it was called Dosa House but I could be wrong. A few days ago I did a Google search for it and when I called, the number was out of service.
I'm curious if you've ever heard of or been to "Emanuel" at 9164 120Street located next to where Clayoven used to be. It's a Salvadorian restaurant which I think is pretty cool and interesting, particularly for this area. Let me know if you've been or if you're planning on going, it might just be a hidden gem. I've driven by several times and I think I'll check it out - I love trying new restaurants.
I think you're right, Dosa House, that sounds more like it. Yes, that place never looks open. Wonder if it is still in business...
I don't think it is but next time I'm up that way I'll check it out and let you know.
Went Dosa House a couple of weeks ago. Had the spinach and feta cheese dosa, very rich, could only eat half of it but was delicious. Their samber, which I understand is the staple of dosa style food is horrible. Good ambience and nice service.
