My wife and I lived on Queen East, west of the restaurant, and only spotted Real Taste of India while moving belongings to our new home in Scarborough about 2 weeks after our move in date. It was truly Murphy's Law (also the name of the Pub next door to the restaurant), that we only found this - our favourite Indian restaurant - after we left the area :)
I love the Parsi dish Dhansak, and RToI is the only place I'm aware of in the GTA that serves it. Others claim/claimed to do so, but obviously haven't a clue how to make it. Even I can NOW do better than most of the other restaurants where I've tried it. That includes Dhaba, the very ostentatious restaurant on King West, who I see no longer have it on their menu!
We don't often eat out, and usually only get food for ourselves, so generally choose our favourites: Chicken or Lamb Dhansak in my case(a taste I brought from the UK), and Saag Paneer, in the case of my wife. If we get something else, other than rice and roti, it's likely to be Aloo Ghobi, or some other Indian Classic Vegetable curry. We almost never eat desserts, though if I do, my favourite is Gulab Jamun.
So, as I've said, I find their food is generally better that most or all other restaurants in the Toronto area, and that includes Dhaba, Bombay Palace (which used to be fairly good), Cuisine of India, The Host, The Indian Rice Factory, Kama Sutra, and many, many other popular Indian restaurants whose names escape me at the moment. I've been a curry fiend for 55 years now, so think I know a good one from a mediocre curry. :)
