Aravind, 596 Danforth Ave. Toronto, ON

The décor elements of this Toronto restaurant are nothing to rave about, but the food impresses at this small Indian eaterie in Greektown. Serving Keralan and southern cuisine, Aravind on the Danforth is worth the trip for some great Indian dishes such as: flaky paratha bread, saag paneer and dungeness-crab biryani. The exterior look reminds of a greasy Indian all-you-can-eat restaurant, however the food makes this experience worth our trip; the atmosphere lacks ambiance and life. Service can get very slow during busy hours.
