New Indian Restaurant/ Kingston Rd. in Scarborough?

Hello,

I drove by a newly opened Indian restaurant on the North side of Kingston Road, West of Morningside but can't remember the name.
They have a huge banner up with a website address...

Does anyone know the name or has anyone tried this place? I'm hoping it will be good!

Thanks!

Fun Wedding reception.. Toronto Harbour Cruise boat?

Hello!

My new fiance and I are wracking our brains to come up with FUN and unusual wedding reception ideas.

We are both in our early 40's and this is not a first wedding for either of us. Rather than a 'blending of families', our wedding is more a celebration with our friends.

One idea we have is to have the reception on a harbour cruise boat. Has anyone been to a wedding on one of these boats? If so, what was the food like?

Any one else have any unconventional reception ideas?? :)

Thanks!!!

OMG! I'm getting married! Need a great romantic restaurant for the reception!

Wow! What great suggestions everyone! It's quite a small number for a wedding...but we still want to have that 'reception' feel...I especially liked the look of Trattoria Fieramosca (Thanks Joyce and Steve!), but will have to spend a weekend out visiting and noshing soon!

OMG! I'm getting married! Need a great romantic restaurant for the reception!

Hi there!

We are having a small wedding (25 people) next fall and are looking for a very romantic restaurant for the dinner/reception. Our guests are mostly from Toronto and in their 40's...so they are used to eating GREAT food!

We have looked at Auberge du Pommier but they are quite pricey! We are not cheap just hoping to find a few other alternatives!

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

Michelangelo's Fine Italian - Closed for good?

That would be a real shame! I just LOVED their penne arrabiata! Never found another restaurant that compared!

Great Italian with a patio downtown

Hello!

I am going to be celebrating my birthday on Sept 20 by seeing Spamalot at the Cannon. Afterwards we are meeting friends.

I'd like to go to a GREAT Italian resto with an outdoor patio (smoker!) either near the theatre or between there and Union Station.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Cheetal Indian in Scarborough?

UPDATE:

We have now ordered from Cheetal twice. Both times it has been VERY good! We have enjoyed their vindaloos, the chicken tikka masala (MY fave!), palak paneer, baingan bhurta, samosas, pakoras and pappadums.

We LOVE the food and the prices! Definitely order for home delivery! It arrives hot and the staff are friendly and helpful.

We are SO grateful to have found this gem!

Doner Kebab garlic sauce?

Hello!

I was in the UK this fall and have an unbelievable craving for a doner kebab! The one I had in Broadstairs had an AMAZING garlic sauce, but it was not Tzaziki...
Does anyone have a recipe for the turkish garlic sauce I may have had?

My tummy will thank you!

Dark Chocolate Brazil Nuts?

Does anyone know where I can find Dark Chocolate covered Brazil Nuts in the GTA? I am in Scarborough, so to the East would be best...but I am willing to travel for this stocking stuffer!

Thanks!

Pillsbury Refrigerated Rolled Pie Crust

Hi there!

I bought it at Dominion on Port Union Road in Scarborough...it is definitely a good and super easy substitute for a homemade crust!

Samosas to go

I agree with Ian....Mahar on Gerrard are the BEST! Plump, crispy and spicy......AND cheap!

3 for $1

I have been loyal to that restaurant for 18 years!

Looking for bulk spice jars in Scarborough/Pickering

Thanks!

Best non-expensive treat to bring to a party? Like- $10 or less?

How about black olive tapenade and some rosemary/onion flatbread from Loblaws?

That would be less than $10 and delicious!
