Description

Specialties

To appreciate this rich and varied cuisine one must understand the philosophy that dictates Indian food. The strongest influence on Indian food is of Ayurveda an ancient body of knowledge on health and life. It covers the whole subject of life in it’s various ramifications. It discusses the purpose of life, the importance of mental as well as physical well being. The aim is salvation-​the wellness of the mind, body and soul. Ayurveda understands the properties and actions of various ingredients in terms of their effects on the body and mind and along with yoga it helps us attain the balance we seek in our lives. This understanding of ingredients and different cooking styles culminates in what is one of the most balanced and healthy cuisines available today.

The other notable influence on Indian cuisine was that of the Mughals that ruled northern India for centuries. Emperor Akbar was a connoisseur of fine food and in the era that he ruled northern India different culinary techniques were combined and with their vast knowledge and understanding of spices and ingredients his chefs took Indian food to the heights of gourmet cuisine.

Grew up eating Indian food and have travelled throughout India. Curry Twist is notable for its very fast and friendly service, delicious fresh breads and fair prices. In many dishes, you can taste each individual spice. Their open kitchen and careful prep inspires confidence, and an order of delicious food can be at your table in five minutes, a refreshing change from long waits for fresh Indian food. Ask for the lamb vindaloo (not on the menu). My favourite Indian place (though Tandoori Flame has its moments).

I wish I had better things to say about this place as we were really excited to try it out after blog TO listed it as one of the best Indian restaurants in the city. We went for my partner’s birthday dinner and it was very disappointing. To start off they were out of the reasonably priced Kim Crawford, however the server was very apologetic and accommodating.
We ordered samosas as our appetizer which were good but nothing exceptional. We then ordered 4 curries, 3 vegetarian ones and the famous Lamb Madras. All of the vegetarian curries were bland and lackluster. My partner really enjoyed the lamb however and it seemed to be the only dish with real flavour. The garlic naan was good.
The décor is nothing special and we were seated at the back near a large fridge with loud humming. The tables near the front window appear to be a bit better though. Despite the good service, the food is not enough to keep me coming back.

I’ve been here twice and was happy both times. The flavours are fresh, strong and unique. Also, the naan is right out of the oven. Service was good and prompt.
I saved some cash by ordering vegetarian dishes only, which worked out well.

Decent Indian fare in the Junction. We were seated pretty quickly on a busy Sunday evening and service was friendly and efficient. Not a huge variety of meat dishes to choose from but our butter chicken was great. The aloo gobhi was my favorite — lots of cauliflower which other places normally skimp on!

Having moved not to long ago from Parkdale to the Bloor West/​Junction area, I’ve been on the lookout for good Indian fare in this area. I think I found it with Curry Twist. I went last week for dine in and my partner and I split a chicken korma, an eggplant curry with some rice and naan. That night there was a samosa feature, so we had two of those as an app. Everything was great, but the samosas were the best part. So rich, moist and flakey. The price was reasonable. Our bill came to around $ 40.
The only complaints I would have is that the servers were not overly friendly. They were kurt and tried to rush us to order. Also, they were going to seat us in the back, but at the last minute sat us in the small section at the front (there were tables in the back and no one was sitting up front at this time). A few minutes later another gay couple came in and they were sat right next to us. I found it a bit strange, if I didn’t know any better there was some segregation going on. I think I’ll do take out from now on.

These guys use too much masala and they call it Indian cooking.

Do not miss this place if you’re visiting Toronto! We ordered the butter chicken and lamb twist masala! Both amazingly good! Even ordered some rice to eat with the left over chicken later. Friendly, fast service! 15 mins drive from downtown. not bad at all given the traffic in the city. Highly recommended!

Love! We used to live in Little India, so we were pumped to find this so close now. Really nice staff, always super attentive, fresh food, and great twists (no pun intended there) on some Indian classics.
I’d you’re into super spicy, this might not be your jam. But the food is full of flavour, and there’s a ton of variety in the dishes.
The butter paneer is amaaaaazing for the veggies that miss out on butter chicken (they actually have a ton of great vegetarian dishes), and the naan is like anything you’d get at the best Gerrard stops. Takeout is quick and just as good as dining in, and the prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality.

I have been coming to curry twist for the last several years, and I can honestly say the quality of food is exceptional and extremely flavorful!
I needed a specific Indian meal which was not on the menu for an event and the owner gladly catered to my needs. Everyone was extremely impressed.
Besides their food, the service and hospitality are wonderful.

I really love this place. Fantastic! Even this restaurant is a little bit small, cozy but their food make it up. Simple decoration, tasty food. I have tried many butter chicken at different place but this place is the best. You can taste the buttery flavour and little bit sweet in the chicken. The lamb twist masala is also a good choice for people who want to try spicy food. The waiting staff is super friendly. I will recommend this restaurant for all my friends!

First time dining in at an indian cusine. Kindly greeted at the door and sat at a table for two. A wide variety of beers to keep a Unilocaler like me satisfied. We ordered the curry chicken and veggie brown cheese dish extra spicy which was absolutely delicious. Great service great food! I would suggest anyone in the neighbourhood to drop in if they want a bite of culture.

Our first Indian Restaurant experience in the neighbourhood. The place is very quaint and the food a treat for your senses. Loved the Bard’s gluten free beer selection with the chicken curry. And because I love spicy food I appreciated their fresh green chillies that were very spicy. Also to mention the experience would not have been the same without the great service.

My friends M&H come here as they are a short drive from the Junction; when they suggested we go here for dinner last Saturday night, I was in.
This is a more upscale Indian restaurant. There is no buffet. We enjoyed 2 apps, 3 dishes and naan plus 3 drinks for about $ 100. The food has a good homemade taste to it and was a bit different than what might be called the «generic» dishes you get everywhere else. (Not that there is anything wrong with generic butter chicken!)
Personally I was more impressed with the spinach and cheese than with the lamb or chicken – my inner vegetarian should have won out here. The naan was especially good and more than I could finish… perhaps a first.
Service was friendly and efficient. The wonder was particularly warm and friendly; it is no doubt why my friends dine here often.
I think this place really works on a date or with a small group (2 – 4 people). There is enough going on in the Junction to justify a trip out for dinner.

Toronto has a competitive field in the Indian food business and this place stands out! The main reason is the chef/​owner, Anant. He cares. He makes all his own curries, and they are all different and full of flavour. The home style curry chicken and shrimp curry are culinary triumphs. The saag paneer and daals are great. All other dishes are good and distinct. They are what they say they are plus some extra authenticity and magic in the seasoning. The nan bread, pickle and other sides are right on par with anywhere else that’s good. Atmosphere and staff are friendly and warm. It’s a little informal, but nice and clean. The best quiet place for the buck to eat in the Junction!

Sides and Naan extra.
My friend and I decided to try this place last Thursday, as it was at the end of her street and looked interesting. I’m not usually eager to try places with ‘curry’ in their name as I’m a WIMP when it comes to spice. However, I thought to myself «they must have something not spicy» and eagerly joined her.
you pass the open kitchen on your way to a small seating area at the back of the restaurant which appeared relatively full for a mid-​week dinner. Their menu covers most areas of traditional Indian fare.
I tried their butter chicken which is usually the safest thing on the menu. My friend and I shared a bowl of rice and garlic naan (both extra). The butter chicken comes in a cute little bucket and did not have ANY spice, I think I could have actually handled the next degree of spice.
Service is prompt and attentive. Price point is reasonable. Restaurant is clean and comfortable. if you are a curry fan, I would recommend this place.

WOOOO I love this place!
This was my first time going to an indian restaurant and it was great! I was most excited to try their garlic naan, cause 1. i love garlic 2. i LOVE naan! So it was good
$ 3 for their garlic naan but it’s quite big
average curries were about $ 12⁄13 but it was really filling. The dish they serve it in makes it look small, but apparently its a bottomless dish.
The service is nice, the place is clean. Overall I will def come back here for my indian food fix

I love Indian food, that being said I am by no means an expert on it and probably have no right to be critiquing it. So all I’m gonna say about the food is that I personally really enjoyed it. I had the Aloo Tikki and the Baigan Bharta with a side of rice and naan. I have no complaints about any of the above. The atmosphere was nice, although unfortunately we got seated in the front rather than the back that looks much better, but it was nice being by the window and being able to see into the kitchen. Service as well was good, the servers were very friendly, courteous, and knowledgable. I will definitely be going back!

Sooo good! After trying many disappointing Indian restaurants in Toronto, this is one of the best we’ve been to! The chicken curry and lamb curries were AMAZING! Full of spice and flavor and properly cooked! The naan also was excellent.
For good Indian food, it’s well worth the extra $ 2-​$ 3 dollars that they charge per dish compared to other places.
The service is friendly and professional, with a nice atmosphere. My only minor complaint is that they don’t offer tandoori dishes, probably because the specific tandoori oven requires a difficult to get and expensive license!
Try Curry Twist! If you love good Indian food, it’s very satisfying.
