This is a small but fulfilling lunch spot in the Queen West area. I normally order through Ritual and pick up in the store.
It's a grab and go kind of place. My go to? Kothu Roti! It is so delicious and filling. The portion size is so large that I normally have it over two meals but sometimes it's so good, you keep eating even if you're good. I have to stop myself from finishing the whole thing in one go.
The curry leaves are such a welcome addition. I really enjoy the flavor they bring to the dish and the roti is definitely delicious and fresh. I could eat this every day for sure but my waist line wouldn't thank me for it. -

I ordered the Kati Roll. It a chicken wrap with some salad and other fillers. It was advertised as an original from Kolkata (Calcutta, India). I'm from Kolkata so I was understandably excited...
I was asked whether I wanted it spicy to which I said "Yes". When it came it was BIG, and hot. Anticipating one of the better lunches I've had in some time I bit into it...
It's the worst imitation attempt of a Kati roll I've had in my life! It was soggy, contained what seemed to me like uncooked raw spices (in an attempt to make it spicy I guess) and it has some sort of sweet sauce in the mix!!!
If you are from Kolkata or pretty much anywhere from india or Pakistan, please DON'T order this roll! I have it one star because it was pretty big, but taste wise it was pathetic. Did not taste anything like a Kati roll from Kolkata!! :-(
BTW it's listed on their website as $9.95 but they sell it for $11.95 when you go to their store. -

You can't go wrong with the kothu roti at Saffron Spice Kitchen. Every time I visit I'm impressed with the flavour and texture, and just how filling it is. I think I only every finished the entire portion once, usually I have to tap out halfway through, or at most three quarters of the way. As others have mentioned, it also tastes great the next day!
The location is pretty convenient to access, and they are available on multiple delivery/takeout services, like Ritual, UberEats, Foodora, DoorDash and the like. Prices also seem pretty reasonable for downtown Toronto.
They've made an effort to dress up the interior, and it looks nice, but this is a takeout place at the end of the day. I have to take off points for the limited seating area, and those stools that sink when you sit on them. Be aware there are no restrooms either. -

Good, fast, well-priced lunch spot. I ordered the 3 Veggie Curry Combo. The eggplant/okra curry and the coconut greens were excellent. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

Friendly service and generous portions, I enjoyed coming here after having had some poutine from Poutini's on King. I tried their butternut chicken which was delicious along with rice and potatoes. It was about $11, and left me feeling very full. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're hungry, and are in the mood for Indian.
