Authentic Gujarati food

There are very few authentic Gujarati restaurants in the GTA. Most of the restaurants where you eat Indian food comes from the Northern/Punjab region of India. Lately we have a trend of South Indian/Sri Lankan restaurants and foods. All the above are good, but unique is the Gujarati food which comes from the Gujarat state/province of India.

The thali consists of 2 vegetable dishes out of the four available, a daal/lentil or a kadhi (spiced yogurt soupy dish) and either rice or Khichdi (a mushed rice and green mung connotation). We took one tendli/tindora/ivy gourd curry with potatoes and a Oondhiyoo (a variety mixed Vegetables with a chickpea flour stuffed with fenugreek/methi and spices dumpling) and the daal and rice. The thali also comes 3 chappatis which are unique in the sense they are flat bread made on tawa/griddle. The chappatis are supposed to be paper thin and when cooked properly fluff.

The tendli and potatoes were spiced to perfection, the potatoes slightly over cooked, but great. The Oondhiyoo (if translated means upside down) was great and had tons of veggies but very few dumplings/moothiya very few. Spiced correctly. All Gujarati dishes have a slight sweet taste as well because the guud/jaggery/brown sugar. The only downside on the dishes were that they were too oily/greasy. Would prefer if they cooked with less oil. Asked for fried green chillies in the side, but they turned out to not spicy at all (not their fault, natures, BTW). The chappatis were 10/10. Perfectly cooked, paper thin and had the customary two layers (proof that they puffed). Could have those 365 days! For those who haven't tried these highly recommend to try. The Indian naans are traditionally not cooked in every households, but chappatis are, but the Gujarati chappatis are the best and here they reflected the true chappatis.

We also ordered Bajara Rotlas - Pearl Millet thick chappatis made again on a griddle. They were amazing as well. For those who love ancient grains, these are a MUST TRY.

A perfect place for take out, although sit is not bad. No table service. The self serve area was clean

Also want to try Jowar Rotlas next time. Sorghum thick chappatis. Another ancient grain if you haven't tried Gujarati food

Pros: All “pure” (no eggs) vegetarian place , Couldn’t get more authentic Gujarati food

Cons: Some dishes very greasy
