Roland Francis <[email protected]> [1] this post is about prices of some common food and eatables in Toronto [2] Service in Indian restaurants mostly stinks. And so do some of their gentleman's facilities.
Comment: My reason of going to a restaurants is likely to be one of the following a: to taste something which we do not cook at home b: to give the home-kitchen a rest c: to meet up with friends d: for business reasons It is true that the service in Indian restaurants is quite poor - the consolation being that it is marginally better than that in Chinese restaurants. The food varies. These days, I am loathe to buy sea food from Chinese places. The Made in China fish just might have additional 'heavy metal' stuff in it ....thanks to the massive pollution in that country. Indian food varies quite a bit. It is possible that the 'chefs' go to the highest payer Once they get their 'papers'. Hence, the food in good Indian restaurants drops in quality every once in a while. It is worth knowing that, in many Indian restaurants, whatever one orders .....korma, masala, jafrezi etc ....you are likely to get the same taste. And there is this fake Vindaloo which is basically (as served) Any curry + chilli powder. We were in Old Town Alexandria (Virginia) yesterday ....and we were served "tikka masala + chilli powder' as Vindaloo. There even was an explanation: North Indian vindaloo is different from South Indian vindaloo. What nonsense. Last Saturday ...we went out to Coriander Indian restaurant in New Jersey. Must say ....the food, the service and the 'gentleman's room' were all excellent. Tomorrow ...we intend to go to 28th and Lexington (here in New York) and check out the Desi restaurant scene. (No intention of going near the gentleman's room) Anyway ..... I wanted to recommend to Roland ....the following restaurant in Toronto http://www.therealjerk.com/ good wishes jc
