Mysore (Montreal)

After a failed Pacu Pacu Peruvian mission up St. Laurent, Mysore jumped out like a haven of tastiness. This rather large restaurant was packed at 9 on Saturday night, so it seemed like a winner.

We went with the veggie combo DD for 2 ($39).

The meal started well with delightfully crispy and flavorful papandums with carrot chutney. Also nice, was a 1.5 L bottle of water on each table that we seemingly did not have to pay extra for. The appearance of the bottle of course caused Ian some future bill stress, but when the waiter cracked it open & started pouring without asking us, he felt a bit better.

Then came 2 tasty samosas with yogurt mint sauce and 6 mini onion bhaji cakes with tangy red mango sauce. Better than usual.



Main course was rice with veggies, yellow lentils (a trade for spinach & potatoes), dry cauliflower curry and saucy mixed veg curry. Came with naan.

Dessert was coconut square & gulab jaman.

All dishes were great and did not suffer from the usual Indian food affliction of greasiness.

Service was a little on the slow side, but food came out pretty fast. Decor was a notch up from typical Indian Toronto buffet type places.
