Samosa and the City

Tandoori House Restaurant
4862 Yonge Street (at Sheppard)
North York, ON
M2N 5N2
(416) 733-2283

5 Stars
Dinner for 2 $45.00

There is no greater Indian restaurant in the GTA than Tandoori House. Period. I could stop writing right now and leave it as that. But since that would be boring, I'll expand a little. Tandoori House is also my favourite restaurant in the GTA. They make the best samosa's hands down that I've ever tried. The nan is cooked through a viewing window so you can see how they prepare it. The aroma of the Tandoori Chicken as it passes by you to the next table is like heaven on a skillit. The service is wonderful and friendly. The only thing I don't like about this restaurant is the bathroom is downstairs, and after eating excessive amounts of food, the idea of walking down the stairs is terrible! They also have buffet, although I have to say it's not my favourite, but I have yet to ever find buffet that I think is fantastic. All in all, Tandoori House really hits the spot when you're in need of a tasty delicious meal. They have a great variety of items from beginner Indian food like butter chicken, to shed a tear spicy chicken madras.

Here are a few of my favourite dishes:

Vegetable Samosas: Deep fried patties stuffed with potatoes and green peas.
Lamb Palak: Lamb cooked with fresh spinach and spices.
Kofta Birbali: Potato and cottage cheese dumplings stuffed with vegetables, chutney and nut, simmered in a curry sauce.
Gulab Jambu: Cheese balls made with dry milk and homemade fresh cheese, deep fried and dipped In syrup, served warm with rose water.

Food is Love.

My name is Jodi. I am 29 years old, and I am a foodaholic. In other words, if I had a penis, food would give me an erection. There isn't anything in this world that I enjoy more than delicious, beautiful, sensual, fun, and sexy food. I love to cook, but what I love more than that, is not to cook. When someone cooks for me, and I get to enjoy delicious cuisine as well as the sweet taste of not having to spend an hour or more preparing the food, I am like a pig in shit.

I'm the girl that people go to when they want something great in a totally random part of town they don't know. I live and have grown up in the Greater Toronto Area and have spent quite a bit of time travelling around the city and around the world for fun and work, so I'm the one to go to when you want to know where to find fantastic food!

So this little space of mine, is all about eating food, and the best places in the city to get what you want.

Food is Love.
