Decided to take a break from the usual favourite curry houses and try something different, so did a quick search and found Kesariya Indian Cuisine which opened in 2022. They’re located at Lockport Avenue and Shorncliffe Road.

As is my wont — and how I test a new Indian restaurant discovery — I went for the Chicken Karahi and Mixed Raita. I didn’t request extra spicy because I wanted to see what the defualt level was.

The spice level wasn’t overly nose-blowing hot, but had a nice kick to it. I could handle more. The portion size of both dishes were generous and the chicken was nice and juicy. A good amount of ginger in there too and the sauce was thick.

The Mixed Raita was tasty and had cucumbers, onions, coriander, tomatoes and mint in it. But it was warm, not cool. To give them the benefit of the doubt it may have been the delivery time … but I like a chilled raita.

All in all this is on the list to try another dish and gets a Brits in Toronto 3/5 stars.
