CRAFTING NEW INDIAN CUISINE TRADITIONS

We redefine the customary Indian restaurant experience by offering unique dishes using seasonal Canadian ingredients, while staying true to traditional Indian flavours. Experience the richness of foie gras paired with an aromatic regional Maharashtrian goda masala curry; savor the delight of east coast oysters served as a humble chaat; and enjoy a seasonal twist on a beloved classic, butternut squash butter chicken. Curryish Tavern is an exciting space in downtown Toronto where the eccentricity of our cuisine truly stands out.
