Hurontario Street between Dundas and Britannia is, mile for mile, one of the best South Asian eating strips in Canada — a 5 km stretch of strip-mall plazas with Tamil thali joints, Pakistani charcoal grills, Bangladeshi sweet shops, Punjabi dhabas, and Sri Lankan kothu specialists side by side.
A few worth knowing: Karaikudi for Chettinad chicken curry; Mannar Thai for crab and dosa; Bombay Chowpatty for street food platters; Hakka Lounge for the city's distinct Indian-Chinese cuisine. The food courts in the local plazas are often as good as the standalone restaurants and a fraction of the price.
