$20 for $40 Worth of Indian Food and Drinks

The recently updated menu includes vegetarian, meat and seafood entrees such as home-style Bradford Bay chicken curry with fresh fenugreek, braised parsi ribs with black-cumin curry and basil, asparagus-kofta curry with tomato and coconut sauce, and beetroot and curry-leaf rice. Savoury starters range from banana-leaf-wrapped paneer with an aloo-chaat martini to a spinach fig tikki with bulgur wheat, pickled flavour chichi, and herb sauce. Diners can also snack on street-food chaats such as edamame dundial samosas or leek and golden hubbard squash pakora, or pair their meals with pours from the wine list.

Amaya Indian Room

Although its dishes hail from India, Amaya Indian Room’s food reflects its North American setting. Crafted from fresh local produce, the dishes are delicately spiced to accommodate a Western palate, rather than eye-wateringly hot. According to the eatery’s profile in the Globe and Mail, the restaurant's founders likewise opted for Western decor, outfitting their dining room with wood panelling and photographs, rather than the temple-inspired decor that they viewed as stereotypical.

The upscale food, however, hews to the subcontinent’s culinary traditions. Diners can feast on lentils cooked for 12 hours in buttery tomato sauce, short ribs braised in kashmiri chili, and prawns bathed in coconut-milk curry. The wine-marinated lamb lollipops, meanwhile, are easier to eat than the original Indian lollipop, a tandoori oven on a stick. For an alternative to these à la carte items, the tasting menu lets patrons sample small portions of multiple dishes. The expansive wine list, meanwhile, pairs seamlessly with meals and offers a subversive touch—Indian food is typically served with beer.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Barbershop Chatter

The barbershop has gained a reputation for being the place to go for listening to all sorts of lively chatter. Here's a sampling of what you might hear your barber say next time you get a haircut:

  • "Take 2 inches off the top? Yep, that's something I can do when these casts come off."

  • "I've been thinking about labeling the scissor jar 'Scissors' and the comb jar 'Not Scissors.' Thoughts?"

  • "Ha! No, this isn't the kind of barbershop that sweeps up the hair clippings."

  • "Someone stole all of our magazines, but you can read this letter I've been meaning to send to my estranged wife."

  • "Welcome to the barbershop, where men are kings and kings are giants and giants are half off before noon."

Why are barbershops called "listen holes"?
