Any recommendations? Last weekend we went back to The Mount Everest in Pickering village, previously excellent this time it wasn't good at all and we won't go back. We've tried the one down by Whitby harbour, it was ok but not outstanding.

So, any suggestions would be appreciated. There are two meh places in Peterborough so we don't bother with them and I can cook a good meal but sometimes you just want to go out and scoff.

Does the lack of answers mean there are none worth recommending? Or are you Durhamites hiding?

Hope you're not setting your bar too high, coming from the (new) land of curry... I've had a few good ones here but nothing to match the best of Britain.

Nothing really east of the DVP either.

There was a place on Highway 7 between Tweed and Kaladar that looked pretty sketch..I think it was part of a motel..but the last time I drove by it looked closed.

If you're in Ottawa, I'd suggest the Urban Turban or the East India Company.

Sorry no knowledge specific to Durham.

If in doubt, go to Trip Advisor...

The Mount Everestvused to be excellent food, as good as anything I've had in Southall.

That motel is still open, it's, er sketchy to say the least. I have seen food from there but never ate it.
Have eaten in and enjoyed food at The East India Company.

I don't trust these reviews which is why I asked here. I've been fooled by them before and no more!

We like Zeera, towards the bottom of Liverpool in Pickering, although haven't been in a while. Another place I've heard good reports of is Signature which is on Dundas, just west of Anderson/Hopkins - only been the once and it was buffet style that evening - but other people have commented very positively about it.

Chowhound isn't a review site, it's a forum where people ask these types of questions. For the BC Chowhound forum, I've found it an excellent resource for sourcing specific types of dishes at restaurants. I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask about Indian restaurants on their Ontario forum.

We got totally duped by this place in Bowmanville...over rated despite reasonable ratings on Trip Advisor...and just down the street from a British shop.

That's because the reviews are written by cradles who have no concept of English pubs. Look out for reviews written by people in the UK and see how they review it. Look up any Indian restaurant in Canada on TripAdvisor - the cradles rank it highly, the Brits rank it poorly.

I get what you are saying but I am familiar with Chowhound and the posts on there.

There is one on the corner of Kingston and Church in Pickering Village. We been a few times it's ok, buffet is a bit veggie, get a meal and ask for it hot or it just be mild.

Another is at Liverpool Road at the lights before frenchmans bay South of 401 on the left. This one is the one u been too I think

Have a look at the plaza end of Salem, near Taunton in Ajax. It's a Take away home made Indian. The food is good.

Best take away is on Morningside on the plaza before Tims, near Sheppard on the east side. It's all West Indian stores and in the corner is a Biriani Take away, cafe style eat in. Maybe the best curry in the whole area here, families go and sit in and eat, and it's hot enough to please me, the naams are to die for. !!! (That's if u dare go in? It's very erm, Indian here) not an issue for me plus they know me now as I go in loads now. English isn't the first language in there, but the young lad there is ok at English, his mum not so good lol

Oh yeh cross the road near Sobeys is a Carabean take away cafe style eat in, they do the best chicken boneless Rotis. :@)

I think the one on Kingston and Church is Everest, which you know already, and the one on Liverpool south of the 401 is Zeera which I mentioned above so sounds like it's worth you trying!

bats

Sorry Teitcher I missed your post earlier. Yep. Zeera is the other one we have used.

Will maybe give Signature a try or the take out Magnumpi mentioned at Morningside.

bats - when did you last go to Zeera? It has changed hands in the four years we've been going to it and did improve, perhaps two years ago?
