Restaurant thread....the best place to eat...Where!!!

guess some y'all don't fancy Indian food. That's not bland at all. That's a cuisine well entrenched in British food scene. Some of the best can be found in London/BrickLane.

There is an Indian restaurant in downtown Montreal on Stanley Street called Le Taj. I ate there around 10 years ago and it was good. I ordered the Shrimp Saag, which is shrimp served with a creamy, spicy spinach sauce. I also got my personal favorite Indian dish which is onion bhajia. These are onions coated with a spicy chick pea batter, and deep fried. Think of a spicy type of onion rings, although they are usually nuggets and not rings. The onion bhajia is served with two sauces- a tamarind chutney and a cilantro chutney, both of which are great.

Le Taj is one of the old guard for sure. I have been a fan of vegetable pakora, the general class of say Indian "Tempura", for years. Though I fancy the lightness and technique of japanese tempura more.

Had the desire to eat sushi on my last trip and ended up at K2 on Crescent Street. A little crowded, a little noisy, but overall a great spot for some all you eat sushi. Prices were great, service was good and the sushi was also good. I wouldn't go as far to say the food was excellent, but you go to this place for quantity over quality IMHO. When you walk in they hand you a tablet and you do all of your ordering via the device. Overall a good experience.

Le Taj is a good place given that they have vegetarian choices.

Lamb Korma is one of my favorites as well. Last week I had Chicken Korma and there were cashew nuts in the sauce. My favorite entree sauces are Korma and Saag. However the Saag Paneer which is with cheese rather than meet is pretty good too. Another dish I had recently was Lamb Rogan Josh. It's very similar to Tikka Masala sauce to me.

Lamb Rogan Josh.

Funny I did try it for the 1st time, not long ago. Delicious, but I'm just a sucker for anything lamb!
Original korma recipe ask for cashews but not all restaurant use them.

Yeah a lot of restaurants cheap out on the cashews but was pleased to have bitten into a few with my Chicken Korma last week. More often there are no cashews in the sauce.

For sushi I like ShoDan, Miso and the now closed Mikasa.

In Westmount I like Kashima, Park and Saint.

I've been digging the vinegary coleslaw of the smoked meat places... no mayo... has a horseradish/wasabi tone to it, the cabbage is pickled through like Sauerkraut. I'm addicted to it's briny nature, savory.

Stash Cafe. Located in the Old Montreal area on Saint-Paul St W. Eastern European or more specifically Polish dishes. I've been there many times and never had a bad meal. One of my favorite restaurants in Montreal.

Dunn's Famous. I know it's been mentioned before in this thread. Food is ok, not incredible. But the thing I like about Dunn's is that they're open until 5am. The last time I was in Montreal, I was held at Customs for 3 1/2 hours. By the time I got to my hotel most restaurants were closed and I was starving. I was within walking distance of Dunn's and got a bite to eat there. Smoked meat plate.
