Small and quiet, with a unique indoor patio, Banjara almost seems like an awesome apology for the café that previously occupied the space.

If you think that Indian cuisine has already fused with all the other cultures out there, you would be almost right. Om offers Indian and Tibetan fusion with all the beauty and flavour of each culture. Have a gyuma appetizer before your butter chicken and finish off with their famous jasha momo (a steamed chicken dumpling). It’s also worth noting that this restaurant was the winner of the 2013 Reader’s Choice Award in The Parkdale Villager.
Customers who stroll through the door at this Queen West Indian restaurant are welcomed with the smell of simmering spices and warm hospitality. Friendly staff members are happy to guide you through the comprehensive list of regional curries and tandoori dishes, but the creamy butter chicken is always a popular hit. The mild dish features tender chunks of boneless chicken submerged in a sweet tomato curry base. Be sure to order a side of garlic Naan to soak up the leftover sauce.
