This restaurant is incredible! Great location, wonderful ambiance, and the food is amazing! So much flavor! The Vindaloo Mussels, soooooo good, so many layers to the flavor! Great service as well! Come for a visit, you won't be disappointed!
Absolutely loved everything about my meal here. Sat on the small sidewalk patio and had great, attentive service throughout. The pickled veggies were to die for, as was the chowder and the cocktail(s)!
First time here and the restaurant was full at 7pm. We were told there were more seats behind the restaurant in the backyard. We placed our order and was served rather fast despite it was full. Food were great as attachéd pictures. The briyani rice tasted great and the halibut fish was just right.
We ordered catch of the day and fish and chips. The halibut and cod were super fresh and the use of sauces were excellent. They were quite unique and super delicious. My taste buds were yelling “more” after we licked both plates clean! We'll be back for sure.
Best fusion in the city! Outstanding flavor with Indian and British influence. Biryani rice with Humboldt squid strips and Salmon was the showstopper at our table, but the seafood meatballs were phenomenal too. Sandeep brought a quiet Hong Kong sophistication and his charisma made us spend more than we wanted, for which we were rewarded tenfold. Can’t-miss selection in a city full of choices!
The restaurant is very small and very loud. The tables are very close. The bathroom was not very clean. The chairs the upholstery was ripped and needs to be replaced. Food was fresh and tasty. The servings are good size. I don't think I will be rushing back. Who knows how clean the kitchen is?
Indian-French bistro with SOUL FOOD! I.e. food that is so nourishing and full of flavour, it comforts your soul 🫰I couldn’t pick a favourite but would definitely suggest the mussels and fisherman’s chowder.
Also, if you’re like my husband and are hardcore about tasting the potato flavour in fries, better to think of the fishhook poutine as a curry with fries in it - the curry is thick and luxurious and flavourful, but it was too saucy for his expectations 😂 would still recommend though, it was delicious!
Ok. Yes the chowder is different here, but in the best way! It was so flavourful without the heavy cream-like consistency. I loved their take on seafood: fusing Indian elements and using fresh local fish. The service was friendly and informative. Our waiter explained how they utilize every part of the fish to contribute to several dishes. The menu had enough options for every pallet, food restriction, and budget. The space is charming and is not meant to seat a swarm of people, which I prefer. I would highly recommend a visit!
It was wonderful soul seafood experience! I am a picky foodie from Toronto and Chowder, Shrimp toast and Salmon biryani (total 61 without tip) really made my day). 10/10!
Really, really fantastic seafood restaurant just a block off the main tourist area.
The owner chatted to our table, walked us through the menu, and had a joke with us, which was lovely.
I’m a huge fan of Indian flavors, and this didn’t disappoint. A good mix of Indian spices with some French technique. The chowder was awesome - light yet rich. Our table had three different mains - all were excellent, and reasonably priced for the quality. Fish Koftas were awesome. Really solid chickpea curry under it all too.
Will certainly be back. Heard about the place from a locals channel on Reddit.
Waited a whole year to come back to Canada just to eat here!
As a brit, I approve the Fish & Chips - delicious, fresh and served in a beautiful courtyard. Generous portions with a lovely theme of infusing Indian spices.
Interesting cuisine, clearly quality ingredients. How much you like it will obviously depend on your taste buds.
