Tiffin on Devon

All things Indian food continue. We had such a good time on St. Valentines Day eating @ Chophal kabob on devon that we decided to have a second St. Valentines Day, except this time we ate @ Tiffin - favoured place of the Gallos.


Excellent. We split lamb and chicken plates and got rice and parathas. One was better than the other. My taste in Indian is so conditioned by Gahreeb @ this point - it's always good to have something diferent.

Gahreeb is such a utilitarian place. There's the counter and the seating area that basically looks like a typical hotdog place seating. There are the nods to Indian culture - rite now cricket is always on the telly, plus posters of places like the Taj mahol etc... Basically, however, it would fit in my neighbourhood (clientel'd stick out, tho'). So, these other places we are now going to - more real restuaraunt places - are terrible different.

Um, cluttered. Stuffy, oftentimes. No blanket statement this - well, actually it is - but totally typical of each place we've eaten so far. ndian Garden on Ontario. Those several place sout in the subarbs when we went to see Nephew.3's football games. Everywhere on devon. Whyso??

The thought has passed my mind - this shit is so tasty, would it be a good idea to open a like place in my neighbourhood? Again, the population down here is different than on Devon - we lack, for example, the mass of Haseids who stroll the area - but the foods the food. However, i have no experience in restauraunts or anything like that - plus, you know, the capital and the dismal lifespans of restauraunts - but it has again and again crossed my mind. Trust me - there's no place anywhere on the Southside (exception is on ok place in, of course, Hyde park) that has Indian food - believe me, Ive looked long and hard and dissapointedly on the interenet.

So, an idea, but just.

Tonite? It's a Friday in Lent, so it's veggie for me. Hoping to corral Mothers to gahreeb so we can get, oh, a Veggie mix and Channa Masala and biyrani and 4 parathas.

Who's hungry?
