From start to finish, the experience was thoughtful and well-executed. The drink was bold and aromatic, using Indian spices beautifully balanced with virgin gin — flavorful without being overpowering.
For the first course, the Beetroot Dahi Vada was incredibly fresh and light, with a cooling yogurt that paired perfectly with the earthiness of the beetroot. The Brussels Sprout Pakora was crisp, well-seasoned, and complemented nicely by the chutneys.
The mains truly stood out. The Shahi Paneer Almond Korma was rich, creamy, and deeply comforting, with a lovely balance of spice and nuttiness. The Rava-crusted fish with cauliflower, pickle, and purée was excellent — crispy on the outside, tender inside, and elevated by the acidity and depth of the pickle and sauce.
Dessert was a perfect finish. The Suji Halva Cake was warm and nostalgic with cardamom and cinnamon notes, while the Almond-stuffed Shahi Tukda was indulgent yet balanced, with great texture and sweetness.
Overall, the food was refined, well-balanced, and clearly made with care and intention. I’ll definitely be coming back for the coconut rice drink and the Suji Halva Cake.
We started with the samosa turnovers. While they were decent, the shape resembled empanadas or gujiya more than traditional samosas. The filling was good but not particularly distinctive.Not something we would reorder.
For mains, we ordered the beetroot quinoa kofta in almond curry, which was the standout of the evening. The koftas were moist and the creamy, nutty almond curry infused with panchphoran spices was rich and comforting, leaving us wanting more. Unfortunately, the breads did not match the quality of the curry. The Montreal-style bagel laccha paratha lacked the expected bagel seasoning and featured only white and black sesame seeds, missing depth of flavor. Similarly, the garlic roomali roti was mild and noticeably short on garlicky notes.
We ended with their special red velvet tres leches rasmalai cake, which was disappointing. The cardamom flavor was overpowering even for someone who appreciates the spice and the dessert lacked the “wow” factor expected for a signature offering.
The service was prompt and the ambiance was warm and inviting. While we appreciated the hospitality, the overall flavor profile of several dishes felt underwhelming, leaving us slightly disappointed on what was meant to be a special celebration.
The only inconvenience was that the service was painfully slow. I came in at 11:50 am and only got through 4 out of 6 courses by 1:15 pm even though there was only one other table that was occupied. I was dining alone so the time moved even slower for me. I would only suggest the service staff to be a bit more mindful of the time in the future but otherwise it was worth the price of the tasting menu for sure!
The food:
Tuna pani puri – good flavor but couldn’t taste the tuna.
Masala wings – definitely not “hakka” tasted like honey garlic with some spices. The chicken had a flavor of old frozen chicken
The samosa – great crisp and well filled. However the filling was mushy and didn’t taste the cheese curds
Garlic roomali roti – bland and no flavor
Stuffed paneer – the gravy lacked flavor and only tasted of masala and whatever thicker they used. The masala in the paneer tasted raw.
Peach shrikhand – loved the shrikhand however as a dish it was too heavy.
The Drinks:
Mango lassi – can’t go wrong and was good
Nimbu pani margarita – not a margarita and tasted slightly bitter.
Chai martini – pretty good
The service – our server was pretty good. Good attention to detail.
Atmosphere – really warm inside
The dining room is consistently impressive, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The service is also excellent; the staff are attentive and quick to respond, which significantly enhances the dining experience.
On my last visit, I tried the Maple Hakka Chicken Wings. The flavour was fantastic, with a perfect balance of ginger, soy sauce, green chilies, and scallions, plus subtle notes of caraway and star anise. They were perfectly crispy and delicious. For a dish that’s eaten by hand, offering a finger bowl with warm water and a lemon slice or a moist towel would be a great touch to elevate the experience.
For the main course, the Green Tomato Butter Chicken had a wonderful, creamy texture and incredibly tender chicken. The flavour was good, but I felt it could use a bit more salt and heat to truly make it shine.
Overall, I had a good experience. The food is flavourful and the service is excellent. My only minor critique is that the bathrooms could be cleaner. With a few small adjustments, Curryish has the potential to be a truly outstanding dining destination.
