What: Sisters Alka and Poonam Dhir bring the latest addition to Queen West’s wide array of restaurants with Indus Junction, a contemporary and chic new Indian restaurant, which specializes in modern takes on customary Indian dishes.
Why: Gone are the days of stuffy Indian restaurants. Indus Junction mixes the old with the new, combining traditional Indian meals and flavors with fresh twists, not to mention the mix of modern yet intimate décor the restaurant oh-so brilliantly uses. Rice crackers are served with chick peas, onion, tamern sauce, and yoghurt mixture. Nunaticka, similar to a vegetarian samosa, is breaded and filled with vegetables and accompanied with signature Indian sauces. Fixed prices are offered with $25 for vegetarian plates and $20 for non-vegetarian. Indian inspired martinis, cocktails (pomegranate sour was our favorite!), and desserts are also on hand.
When: Indus Junction opened to the public last week.
Where: 811 Queen Street West, Toronto.
