   First time going here and it was good experience. I went on Valentine’s Day so they had a set menu. Not a fan of that as Indian food with set menu is not the best idea. But the menu was good and tasty. A little adventures restaurant so not your typical Indian cuisine, which was a good change from everyday Indian food in the city. One issue was the heating, they really need to get the HVAC system fixed or updated. It was extremely cold the night we went and they just had a space heater. Every time the door opened a cold breeze would come in and hit all the customers sitting near the entrance. There is no physical barrier such as a storm door to eliminate this issue. So definitely the food got cold and it was a very pleasant experience. But besides that the place and food was good. Not sure if it’s my top 10 but I would keep my eye on this place as they mentioned that their menu changes every 4/6 months (months maybe off). Overall, it was a good place and would say they have a good menu selection (even though we didn’t try it) and their drinks were a little let down, I had the beers and they were not fresh by any means, she had a mixed drink which not good at all. But made it up with the good food and the ambiance.

   Enjoyed the Winterlicious Dinner menu, the food came out quickly and the flavours were great! The staff was friendly and attentive. Also enjoyed the Hibiscus Margarita.

   Loved the dishes and great service. It is cold in the winter, but they had space heaters and it wasn’t too busy so they directed it at us.

   Everytime I visit the Cottage Cheese, I’m reminded of what a delight it is. If the cozy indoor aesthetic won’t win you over then the food and its richness in taste absolutely will. I visited the restaurant for the umpteenth time with a friend who had never been and she was so taken by the flavor profile of the rose butter paneer. I highly recommend this gem for unique and flavorful Indian food, especially for warm conversations with family and friends.

   Friends and I went for Winterlicious. We had varying opinions on the portion size but agreed the food was delicious and beautifully prepared. Interior was pleasant and staff was very attentive. We had a baby in attendance and he also had a good time.

   The food is good but a little overpriced for the amount of meat there was in chicken tikka. We were asked to leave right after 1 hour and 15 mins due to upcoming reservation. Even though, i booked a slot and it didn’t mention any time limitations. Felt rushed and unwelcomed. Definitely not coming back.

    We did not get the table! We booked one from OpenTable and we were 1st told the waiting is for 20 mins and then for an hour! The person on the counter mentioned that they received one booking after I showed them my waitlist which was a bit off! Also, they hold the table for their bookings for 20 mins which is again a bit off, when you already have a guest waiting! I did not expect this!
