    Everything you expect from a Michelin star restaurant, and more. Service was attentive, specific, extremely hospitable. The decor is elegant and comfortable. And the food, I cannot say enough about the food, the melding of tastes, the presentation, absolutely delicious and fulfilling.  The complete delight from the moment we walked in the door. Wonderful for date night, anniversaries, celebrations, and when you want to impress. I will be back.

    I had the pleasure of dining at The Cottage Cheese, and I must say, their food were absolutely phenomenal! The paneer was incredibly fresh, soft, and perfectly cooked. Each dish, whether it was the Makai Posto or the crispy Okra , was bursting with authentic Indian flavors. The spices were well-balanced, and the creamy textures in main courses were heavenly. It’s evident that they use high-quality ingredients and take great care in their preparation. And our dinning experience elevated by their great service. Our both servers young lady and gentleman made us very comfortable. Highly Recommended!!

    What a fantastic meal! The food was incredible, my cocktail was delicious, and the service was phenomenal. The staff are super knowledgeable about all the dishes and made excellent recommendations. Everything had wonderful layers of flavour and we were surprised when our favourite turned out to be the orange chicken. Such a simple dish but with an amazing sauce and super crispy chicken. I can’t wait to come back!

    Exceptional from the moment we called to advice of our delay to the leaving. Every single staff member provided the same outstanding service. The curated menu beyond our expectation. Thank you for making our celebration one of the best dining experience we’ve had this year. We’ve been to several Michelin star, recommended restaurants in GTA - you have restored our faith. Amazing . 10 stars if there was one!
