Kamasutra Indian Restaurant & Wine Bar

I'm finding that, as a mother, I don't have time to do things that need to get done. For example, I desperately need to vacuum and dust my house, for example. My bathroom counter is a mess. My desk needs to get organized. I let a lot of these things fall to the wayside, as I'm sure many new moms do. When I realized my dog needed bathing, however, I realized I couldn't just put it off, so instead I paid a groomer to take care of him. As a result, I found myself in East York with an empty stomach and 2-3 hours to kill.

Restaurant: Kamasutra Indian Restaurant & Wine Bar
Location: Davisville Village
Meal: Lunch
Day: Thursday
Son's Age: 22 weeks

The restaurant was empty, so I could sit wherever I want. The section by the window is slightly elevated, so to be fair, the majority of the floor is stroller accessible, but I was stubborn and chose to navigate my stroller onto the elevated part.

Accessibility: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
So I did manage to get the stroller next to the table where we could both look out the window.

My son is a little shy in the photo. Anyway, I forgot to take a photo of the washroom, but there was no change table available, although there was enough counter space that, if necessary, I could have used.

Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Service was fantastic! My server was extremely pleasant and constantly came by to chat and interact with my baby. She was helpful with the menu and asked if I enjoyed the food or if there was anything else I needed. I did not feel rushed at all. She also helped me get the stroller to my table when I stubbornly chose to sit in the inaccessible part of the restaurant. Her friendliness really made my experience memorable.

Food: ⭐️⭐️
Unfortunately, I can't say that the food was memorable. On weekdays, there is a lunch special served with vegetable samosa, garden salad, basmati rice, and naan. I chose the lamb roganjosh for my main.

I should preface that I eat a lot of Indian food. I really love eating Indian food, so I suppose I can be easily disappointed. First of all, the special came with half a samosa, which is an interesting albeit misleading choice. I suppose they cooked it so that it wasn't as greasy as a typical samosa, but I found that this took away from the flavour. The garden salad was likely the restaurant's way of incorporating vegetables, and it was just a typical salad. The lamb was fine but mild and the spices definitely tasted toned down. I wonder if this is a product of catering to the East York clientele. I admit that when people are unaccustomed to Indian food, I hear them say that it is too strong, too rich, too greasy, or too spicy. I like all of these things, and while eating this I couldn't help but think that the people I know who typically don't appreciate Indian food would probably be okay eating this.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
The service really elevated the overall experience for me, and it isn't too difficult to bring a baby here, but in terms of food, you can definitely get better Indian food elsewhere.
