Heard about G-Wings from a friend - turns out they just opened a week ago. They are on the west side of town, in the same complex as the UPS - right next to it actually, where the India 360 used to be. They have wings (which for some reason don't show up on their Uber eats page), a bunch of bar-style food (appetizers, burgers, nachos), and also Tamil dishes Iike curries, rotis, and samosas.
There is a 'order ahead' button on their website which I tried - they are supposed to call/email to confirm they received my order, but they didn't get it right away and it was getting near the time I wanted to pick it up so I ended up calling to order.
I ordered the wing combo #3, which is 3 lbs of wings in 3 flavours, fries and 3 sodas. Wings were a good size (apparently you can get them grilled or baked for +$2), and flavours were great:
- salt & pepper: great, evenly spiced, crispy and not breaded
- Kansas bbq: sticky and saucy, smoky and sweet
- Sri Lankan devil: the spiciest wings they offer - they called me back to check to advise they finish it with spicy fresh green chilies (yes please!). It was a big saucy - super flavourful spices that I couldn't identify - and a slow to creep, lingering heat. Loved it!
The Greek salad was good - lots of cucumber, feta, olives (unpitted), and tomato chunks, though it was non-traditional in that it was on a bed of lettuce. I think they forgot the red onion though.
I ordered a poutine (still on a hunt for the best poutine in town) - it's pretty big, real cheese curds, darker (but not beefy) gravy which was pretty salty. I'm not a French fry person - these ones were a normal size/thickness. Overall - fine, but not great. I wonder if they would have swapped the fries in the combo for the poutine - I'll have to ask next time as my preference is poutine over fries, even if it's not a great poutine.
Finally, I ordered a mutton roll (for $2, why not!) - didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a delicious spicy mutton and potato mix rolled into a roti and then deep fried. They also threw in some complimentary samosas - deep fried triangles stuffed with potatoes and bright green peas - Indian spices but not particularly spicy as both my toddler and kindergartener devoured them. Not too greasy either.
Overall, I'm happy with the experience and would recommend it. The woman at the cash was very friendly, and she even called me back a minute after I'd left to apologize that she'd forgotten to give me the sodas (thankfully I was checking out the new supermarket next door so it wasn't an inconvenience to come back). The only thing is that I found it on the expensive side, but I suppose it is on par with other wing prices in town. I didn't see an option to purchase just wings outside of a combo so I'll have to ask next time. read more
