This evening I had dinner with my best friend at 259 Host, an Indian restaurant in downtown Toronto. They were offering a $25 dinner which included an appetizer, an entree with a choice of side, nan bread and rice, as well as a dessert to finish. You can view their Summerlicious menu here.
The menu was large compared to other restaurants I've been to during past Summerlicious and even Winterlicious events. There was lots of variety and we found it very difficult to choose because everything sounded delicious!
The food was great. The atmosphere was nice, it was quiet but started to get busier throughout the meal. We had a great table with a view into the immaculate kitchen. The host and waitress were very attentive and we didn't have to wait too long between courses. The restaurant was clean and had beautiful decorations.
The main level is accessible to wheelchair users, but the washrooms are not. Typical Toronto restaurant.
Overall, our experience was wonderful! I would go back there and I definitely recommend 259 Host.
