A renowned modern Indian restaurant opened in 1994, honored with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, with lamb popsicles in fenugreek sauce as its signature.
Opened in 1994 and run by chef Vikram Vij, this restaurant is a Michelin Bib Gourmand selection in 2026, where he is reportedly still often seen chatting with guests. The signature lamb popsicles are marinated in wine and grilled, served with a fenugreek curry sauce and spinach potatoes; the butter chicken and goat curry are also highly popular. Open for dinner only. Historically famous for its no-reservations policy and perennial queues at the door, the Michelin page now features a booking link, though calling ahead to confirm is still advised. Mains are around CAD 40, placing it in the mid-to-high price range. It is within walking distance of the Broadway–City Hall station on the Canada Line.
