Tasty but pricey East African (Indian) place on Canada Way at Boundary…read more Parking is available in front of the restaurant (S side), as well as on Canada Way. The building is quite new and modern, and so is this place. Some nice decorations such as figurines and tapestries on the wall. Staff were very friendly and helpful. No complaints. There was an older gentleman who chatted with us a bit and answered our questions. Pretty sure he was the head chef/owner. Buddy and I were unsure what to have, so the waiter recommended the chef's platter (Mchaguzi wa Chef). This platter includes samaki bites (fried tilapia), kuku choma (BBQ marinated chicken), kebabs (minced lamb), and mishkaki (skewers of beef). Served with a pile of rice underneath and a pile of salad. There was also some naan and a bowl of spinach machica (mashed spinach cooked in curry sauce). There was also a plate with small containers of yogurt, tamarind sauce, and shredded coconut. Rather interesting combo. Everything was very tasty, though my buddy was convinced the deep fried tilapia was the frozen supermarket variety. No idea if this is true. The other thing that was special here is they sold Tusker beer which is from Kenya. Never seen it anywhere before, so it was definitely interesting to try. The bottles are 500mL too. Food was definitely on the pricer side, but my buddy and I did leave satisfied. Not sure if I'd eat here regularly, but I wouldn't mind coming back. The food was delicious.

We decided to give Simba's Grill a try. They're a family run restaurant specializing in East…read moreAfrican fusion cuisine. Slightly in an odd location but next door to a Starbucks. We dropped in on a Friday evening (at 8:00pm). The inside is spacious and the tables are well spread out. Our waiter was one of the chef/owners, who is one of those individuals that goes out and chats/sits down with customers. The menu consists of appetizers, chef's specials (no daily special available when we inquired), entrees (meat, rice, vegetarian, curry) and desserts. Entrees range from $15.00 to $30.00. - Chutneys - yogurt, coconut, tamarind, hot sauce and mango. We were originally given a second hot sauce but the owner came by our table, told us it was "too spicy" and took it away. Strange. We didn't get to taste that one but the mango chutney was fantastic (a punch in the face, with a slightly mango note at the end). - Rice ($5.00) - good enough to compliment our two other entrees. - Naan ($3.00) - plain and a touch dense. - Kuku choma ($20.00) - decent char on the chicken, but slightly overcooked and dry. Needed the sauces and chutneys to give it some flavour. - Paka ($18.00) - tilapia was overcooked. Curry was very light in flavour. Wouldn't get this again. - Machicha masala ($18.00) - best dish of the night. 5 good sized prawns that were cooked perfectly. Spinach was a touch bland but liked that it was hearty and chunky. Not many African places in town. An okay first meal at SG.

All of this is arranged neatly in one plate to share, with some injera on the side. The vegetables were nicely spiced and fresh, and the meat is fairly spicy and high quality. The injera is okay - it was served cold so it didn't hit properly with the rest of the food. Service is good as they checked up on us occasionally, though we need to flag them for any additional requests but with minimal effort.

Great spot for authentic Indian and East African food. Try if you're adventurous!…read more It can be a bit challenging to order from here, as their menu rotates and their online menu is not updated. So you gotta call to ask what they have. I phoned to ask what their veggie curries were and opted for something out of my comfort zone: a karela/bitter melon curry ($15.95 plus tax; vegan; comes with rice or 3 pcs of roti -- I did the latter). I also got an order of bhel puri ($8.95 plus tax), an Indian-style snack with beans, nuts, tomato, onions, dried noodles, cilantro and probably more stuff. Both dishes were very tasty, though my palate is not totally attuned to such flavours. The curries are a bit pricy given the portion you get, but with the bhel puri, I had plenty of food. Overall, good for an unusual experience even if it's a little outside my comfort zone. Worth a try!
