Without restaurants, the only public places suitable for awkward breakups would be dentist waiting rooms and hayrides outfitted with ejector seats. Enjoy a tandem or solo meal with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of upscale Indian fare at Amaya Indian Room. Today's Groupon is only valid at the Bayview Avenue location.

Amaya Indian Room's culinary artisans attract diners with upscale, traditional Indian dishes dashed with contemporary flare. Guests can opt to sample unlimited flavours from a rotating tasting menu ($42–$59) or instead feast upon à la carte entrees from the same daily selection. Like traditional candy lollipops, lamb lollipops grilled alongside fenugreek and mint ($24) silence filibustering children, and seared, lemon-tinged malai halibut bathes in a fragrant coconut broth ($22). Vegetarian dishes include dal makhani ($9), a mélange of lentils cooked for 12 hours in a buttery tomato sauce, and the vegetarian curry duo ($17), which introduces cheesy saag paneer to a spicy mix of vegetables. Canvases depicting the Indian countryside hang over maple panelling, and woven lanterns illuminate linen-covered tables set with copper dining utensils such as standard flatware and slingshots.

Our customers loved this deal last year, earning Amaya Indian Room a spot on Groupon's Best of 2011 list.
