They have interesting, small dishes that are best enjoyed as a group: family style! The dishes themselves are modifications of the original dish, and I thought they were okay. I would have preferred them closer to the originals. I wish they had more dessert options. They do have outdoor seating, which is great and the staff is amazing.

What a cute little spot in the heart of Hampden! We stumbled across this place after googling Indian restaurants in the area and this one stood out. Now I know why! we went by for a Saturday lunch - the restaurant is small and cozy. They were a little short staffed that afternoon but managed to get us seated and served in a timely fashion. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Ambiance - the place is well decorated with cushions, paintings, and brightly coloured walls! Service - fantastic! We got to meet the owner of the place and she was able to make fantastic recommendations for us Food - I loved the tapas concept, which meant we got to try 4 or 5 different dishes. I also loved that she has kept the flavours authentic and not tried to dampen down the intensity of some of the traditional dishes. I felt like I was eating home cooked food! (if you are not a fan of richly flavoured, or spicy food, this may not be the place for you) They have a good selection of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. I do believe they have some vegan options too. Prices - reasonable It is very rare to find an Indian restaurant that hasn't "Americanized" their dishes - Verandah kitchen is one of them. We will definitely be back.
