Worth visiting in a 15 mile radius.

On a short visit to Toronto, my family visited the Indian restaurant 259 Host, which is located near the CN Tower. Far from your average neighborhood buffet, 259 Host has an elegant and modern interior. We ordered lamb roganjosh (a curry dish), a rack of lamb, butter chicken, and garlic naan.

The garlic naan was warm and loaded with butter and garlic; I stopped myself to leave room for everything else. The lamb roganjosh was delicious but it is not for the faint of heart. It was so spicy I had to go back to my naan to cool the fire. The rack of lamb has sauce that is even spicier than the lamb roganjosh but it is served on the side, so people who don’t like spice can skip it. The meat was juicy and tender. The tomato-based curry of the butter chicken was creamy and mild. It was excellent.

Every dish here impressed us. The prices are moderate for an upscale restaurant. If you’re stopping by Toronto and want a reliable dining option, I recommend 259 Host.
