New Indian restaurants in Toronto serve tasty treats from across the Indian subcontinent, infusing them with contemporary flair and inventive twists. I may be biased, but I truly believe that Toronto is home to some of the best Indian food in the world — outside of India, that is. With Indian being the fifth-most commonly-reported ethnic origin in the city, a population nearing, if not exceeding, 200,000 people, it doesn't really come as a surprise that our Indian food scene is bumping. There's no shortage of tried-and-true spots for your regular dose of dosa, roti or pakora, but the new restaurants on the rise are changing the tempo on the city's Indian food scene: serving staple dishes that haven't quite made landfall in Toronto yet or unique reimaginations of nostalgic staples. Here are five new Indian restaurants in Toronto you need to try at least once.
