So our friend Val finally decided to bless us with her presence one day. She picked us up and we headed out for some Indian. I was psyched because I love Indian but don’t get to eat it often.
India Bazarr is a boxy place to get fast food for a somewhat decent price. It was hidden in the between a tiny strip of businesses perpendicular between Beritannia and S King Street. There is no menu as the food is laid out before you on top of a steamed table behind a glass counter. Names of the food is written on folded paper and placed in front of each item. Here’s the menu: veggie plate: rice and three vegetarian dishes for $7.00 and the chicken plate: rice, chicken and two vegetarian dishes for $7.25. There’s no table service, you just order, pay and eat. Ray and I got the chicken plate.
If you’ve been reading my blog then you will know that In my professional opinion Indian food is not the same without some hot, fresh, nan to tie it all together. It’s like Mexican food with no tortillas. Well this place had paratha nan and, like Indian Food, it was limp and room temperature with no soul and to top it off, cost $1.50 each. Ray and I got two each along with some orange pop to wash it down. Now this place started off to a good $7.25 start, but then you add the bread, drink and sauces that I was charged for and my new found excitement for this place slowly starts to dwindle. Oh, and yes I did say that I was charged for a small, 2 oz thing of sauce. If you don’t already know, I am a condiment whore. I love sauces, especially specialty sauces. There were a few different kinds so of course I asked for each one, and was charged a buck for each one, I think, it could of been .50 cents. All I know is that it was a small amount, dried up, and I was charged, yet another nickel and dime place.
As for the food, it was o.k. I didn’t love it, I didn’t hate it, however, it was not worth the 30 dollars we ended up paying for when everything was said and done. Oh well, Val still gets kudos for the suggestion, coming by to see us and good looks. Good job Val.

[...] your really missing out. This place does it right, there’s a few places that fuck it up, like Indian Bazaar Madras Curry and Indian Food Curry and BBQ. In my opinion, Indian bread should always be hot, that’s what [...]

We LOOOOOOVE Indian Bizaar! Of course once in a while they’ll have their bad days but majority of the time the food and service is awesome. Just wished they’d stay open longer than 4 hours a day, Monday-Saturday.
India House….food is good service sucks…BIG TIME!! Food there at India House is expensive and so with the sucky service, they get NO TIP!!

I’m glad your crazy about this place. It just didn’t do it for me. However I did find a new place called Maharani I haven’t written about it yet, but I will. The prices are expensive, but large and service is great. I believe it’s on the same street as India House, King Street. Give it a try and let me know what you think
