I’m a fan of Amaya although I sometimes find their curries a bit too saucy. I’ve currently got an unused Groupon for Amaya Bread Bar so I’m going to pass on this one for the Amaya Indian Room. You might be interested, however.
Mini-reviews of Toronto restaurants
This restaurant review section will expand over the next few months. I hope I won’t expand with it.
