We were looking for a relaxing Indian restaurant and we found it! The owner/server was very relaxed and let us take our time.
We had several appetizer, mains and papadum. The food was fresh and hot - nice and spicy too! We had more to eat than enough, it the bill came to only about $20 - plus tip! Great value.
The decor was awesome - lots of red lights (chill peppers) hanging from the ceiling - it was surreal, but very relaxing!

Pretty awesome ice cream! Vegan, organic and tasty! They have hemp and coconut based versions in addition to soy-based ice creams.
Centrally located in a bright clean spot good for people watching! I came here twice in two days! I can't wait to go back!

I needed better access to my US funds and this was the answer. The branch isn't too big and isn't too busy (at lease when I was there - mid week during the day).
I opened a checking (us spelling!) account, got a check card, free cheques (Canadian spelling!) and a $150 bonus on top of that!
A week later, I got a personalized note in the mail from the bank manager thanking me for opening an account.
Great customer service!

Okay, I really should be deducting stars because I feel unwell after my visits - probably because the portions are so big! However, I'll add a star because sometimes gluttony is good! ;^p
In four visits, I've had three burritos and a vegan donut! All were awesome and almost more food than I could handle.
On my most recent visit, I had the breakfast burrito - a few hours after I ate breakfast. It was huge and equally as tasty. Photo here...

This place falls into the 'good value' and 'good for you' categories!
Burritos are aways good for you, but the burrito that I ordered (TVP and guac) was godzilla-sized! I thought I was going to explode after eating it. I had to eat it all because it was full of fresh and delicious fillings.
Not my usual burrito, but the best I've had in Toronto in the many years that I lived and visited. I'll be back in the future to try the donuts and the breakfast burritos!
This place might not appeal to most Yelpers because most of the lighting fixtures sold here costs about the price of a pair of Prada shoes.
However, this place has many lights that are not available in the average lighting shops. If you like fine/European design, this place might have what you're looking for. They sell higher end (and higher quality) lighting that might be sometimes difficult to find if you're looking for something specific.
My first visit here was in 2001 when I was renovating my apartment. My most recent visit was ten years later when I was renovating my apartment (again) and broke the glass fixture for the original fixture that I bought in 2001.
When I called, I was over-joyed to find out that they still had the same fixture and even parts for it! You get what you pay for!

Health-y food in the north end!
I was glad to find this place when i was staying with my brother and his family in the north end of the city.
The place had almost everything I was looking for at a reasonable price and in a fairly accessible location (with a car). The only thing was limited parking but I went on a Saturday afternoon so it was commuter chaos! I should know better, but I was desperate for vegan/organic food! lol

It was pretty average pizza. Not hot, not cold, not fresh, but good. I think the slice I had was sitting out for a while because I came at a low-traffic time during a weekday in the middle of the afternoon. However, I was hungry so it was pretty well devoured quickly.
I'm sure it would be better after a few beers in the evening! ;^)

A great idea, but a bit too commercial for my tastes - pun intended.
I had a vegan sandwich and soup. It was good, but a bit too much takeout for me - the soup was served in a paper container and the sandwich came on paper.
For a 'sustainable diner', I thought they had too much disposable paper and takeout containers. Works for yuppies and hipsters but not really for the environment.
For the name, "Homegrown, Sustainable Sandwich Shop", I though I would have seen more metal utensils and washable plates and bowls rather than compostable, recyclable, blah, blah blah.
Three stars, but I deducted a star for not being true to their name.

The outdoor rooftop patio is a great place to get away from the hectic street!
I was here for happy hour. They had some great beers and good food for a reasonable price!

It was busy, but we were seated at the bar right away. We started with tortillas and some salsa - very good!
I had the vegetable platter. When it arrived, it was massive! It fit the bill perfectly because I was hungry! Vegetarian or not, if you're hungry, this would be the thing to order! I also had the drink special - fresh mango, Mescal, Grand Mariner and some other ingredients. This was awesome too!
The service was friendly and fast. The decor was authentic and cool - especially the Día de los Muertos statue on the corner of the bar.
They also had a healthy selection of tequilas, but we weren't up for that this evening!
