Chef Harwash

“for real the fish curry has perfectly cooked tilapia that flakes nicely and isnt overcooked - spices actually complement the fish instead of drowning it out and you can tell its fresh not frozen”

“i mean only one fish curry option tho so if youre hoping for actual seafood variety thats kinda limiting”

“so like everything is halal and its genuinely autehntic like eating in someones kitchen back in Karachi. the butter chicken actually has that cream and spice balance that most places totally mess up”

“cash only which caught me off guard honestly most places take cards now had to go find an ATM on Dundas big time”

“okay so THIS is what spice should be - the vindaloo has that slow burn that just keeps building, kinda like nashville heat but with those complex indian flavors. gotta say fINALLY found a place in toronto that actually cranks up the chilis”

“naan bread was too soft and puffy for me - i like it with more char and a crispier bite like the flatbreads back home”

“plating here is honestly stunning - vibrant colors everywhere, thotful garnishes, arranged like an actual artist did it. so like the butter chicken looked magazine-worthy with that rich golden sauce pooled perfectly around the chicken pieces 10/10”

“def teh lighting in the dining room is too dim to get good shots - had to use my phones flash which always washes out the food colors”

“chef harwash literally came out to check on our table and recommend stuff - you can tell he actually cares about every single plate!!! the dal was like a warm hug in a bowl”

“literally no coffee on the menu which kinda sucked after that amazing meal - had to run down to tims for my caffeine hit”

“Chef Harwash's lamb curry is insane value - like massive portions that feed two people for under 12 bucks adn the kids actually loved the mild chicken option. the naan is soft and perfect for sharing lol”

“only four tiny tables so if youre bringing the whole family youre definitely waiting outside on Dundas with little ones which sucks”

“seriously this is legit authentic - i asked for extra spicy adn THEY ACTUALLY delivered, like my forehead was sweating. the lamb curry has all these layers of spice that keep changing from cardamom to straight up chili burn wow”

“raita was too mild and didnt balance out the spicy stuff enough - needed more mint and a bit more salt”
