I went for the vegetarian mushroom and apple tasting menu and was blown away by the dishes. Everything was super tasty, especially the Tandoori mushroom with apple koshimbir. Each other dish stood out on its own with distinctive taste and tasteful presentation. The service staff explained each dish with great detail and was very courteous.
The only inconvenience was that the service was painfully slow. I came in at 11:50 am and only got through 4 out of 6 courses by 1:15 pm even though there was only one other table that was occupied. I was dining alone so the time moved even slower for me. I would only suggest the service staff to be a bit more mindful of the time in the future but otherwise it was worth the price of the tasting menu for sure!

We visited Curryish Tavern to celebrate a special occasion, with high expectations for a memorable dining experience.
We started with the samosa turnovers. While they were decent, the shape resembled empanadas or gujiya more than traditional samosas. The filling was good but not particularly distinctive.Not something we would reorder.
For mains, we ordered the beetroot quinoa kofta in almond curry, which was the standout of the evening. The koftas were moist and the creamy, nutty almond curry infused with panchphoran spices was rich and comforting, leaving us wanting more. Unfortunately, the breads did not match the quality of the curry. The Montreal-style bagel laccha paratha lacked the expected bagel seasoning and featured only white and black sesame seeds, missing depth of flavor. Similarly, the garlic roomali roti was mild and noticeably short on garlicky notes.
We ended with their special red velvet tres leches rasmalai cake, which was disappointing. The cardamom flavor was overpowering even for someone who appreciates the spice and the dessert lacked the “wow” factor expected for a signature offering.
The service was prompt and the ambiance was warm and inviting. While we appreciated the hospitality, the overall flavor profile of several dishes felt underwhelming, leaving us slightly disappointed on what was meant to be a special celebration.

The restaurant service was great, friendly staff that went above and beyond. The food however was mediocre. Their options are different and they are trying to be creative, but the taste isn't there yet. Drinks were great!

Food is very unique. I liked the way they created fusion between flavors. Taste is very good.

Super tasty food, good service, relaxed ambience. Our meal here was great, the foie curry, upside-down biryani, and curry polenta fries were the standouts. I would highly recommend this place. We also got the Gnocchi with cauliflower, brussel pakoras which her quite good. The papadams were alright, not super flavourful. This place is definitely curry-ish, worth a visit.

We tried the Valentine's Day tasting menu and opted for the non-vegetarian selection. Unfortunately, out of the four dishes served, only one was non-veg—and even that dish was quite bland. For the price point, the experience was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a well-curated or worthwhile tasting menu experience.

Memories from our 30th anniversary dinner at Curryish Tavern! 🎉🥳❤️ Most Yummy food we ever had... unique combination of flavours and freshness! 👍🏻 Quaint and cozy-warm location and equally personable service 👌🏻

Absolutely outstanding. We took advantage of the Winterlicious menu and it did not disappoint. Curryish took the opportunity to showcase what they do best - impress. Highly recommend this restaurant. Will go back, for sure!

I went to both Bar Goa and Curryish for winterlisious. Curryish food was a way better experience and the food deserves a Michelin guide recommendation. I am Indian and the flavors felt familiar but still unique. It really is Curryish.

Thank you Curryish Tavern for the excellent Winterlicious lunch experience. Really good to see an Indian restaurant offering menu items that stand apart from what is offered in typical Indian restaurants. Food had balanced flavours and was very tasty. Great portion size too. The staff were very attentive and pleasant. Good ambience and the Winterlicious menu was good value for money. Wish you the best Curryish Tavern.
Fantastic meal, so many flavours that work so well together. We got a wine pairing and they pairs were chosen so unbelievably well. Staff were incredibly friendly. Will be back for sure!

Was not impressed. First we were sent to the back of the restaurant where the only other person was a 7 year old child playing on her iPad. We asked for a table closer to the action and were originally rebuffed but ultimately offered a table at the front. My date had the butter chicken which was tasty but not generous and I had the lamb Biryani which was luke warm at best and needed to be sent back to heat up against the objection of the server. I won't go back. Cheaper and better options in Yorkville for goodness sake.

Chef and team create unique and flavourful Indian dishes not found in other Toronto restaurants. The food and service are wonderful! Definitely worth a visit!

Such good food! Well thought out contemporary yet comforting Indian cuisine! Took me way too long to come, can't wait to go again!
