309 Dhaba Indian Excellence

Winner of the Most Memorable Meal Award and other accolades, DHABA was designed by famous designer Brenda Bent, wife of world renowned Chef Susur Lee. Executive Chef P.K Ahluwalia, who recently filmed a TV show with Susur Lee for Food Network, offers a delicate mix of traditional and contemporary Indian cuisine styles. P.K.'s unique and individual approach of adding modern twists to traditional Indian dishes has been repeatedly praised as "Divine", "Innovative", and "Taste Intensive" by the City's top food critics. Dhaba invites you to adventure Prix-Fix Menus, Tasting Menus, Pre-theater Dinners or A-la-carte, pairings with creative martinis, and personally selected outstanding Vintage Wines to match the robust Indian flavors. In the words of CBC Radio anchor - Make it an event!

"The food is nouveau Indian cuisine tasty and presented very well. The restaurant is quiet and lighting is appropriate for a nice dinner with your significant other.
Some drawbacks include Corelle plates and service that can be a bit slow. However, if you are taking your time to enjoy the meal these can be overlooked.
