Manat Indian and Hakka
Price: 💵 💵
Address: 1460 Gerrard St. E., Toronto, ONWhy You Should Go: In my opinion, this is the best South Indian vegetarian restaurant. Firstly it’s my go-to meal because it’s located in the heart of Toronto’s Little India.
Beyond the iconic masala dosa and tasty vadas, the restaurant explores South Indian food. There are 48 different dosa kinds, so there is something for everyone. It’s also an excellent place to go if you’re looking for hard-to-find Indo-Chinese cuisines. If you’re searching for breakfast or brunch choices, they also have specialty bread on weekends, like garlic naan and onion kulcha.
