According to most restaurant critics, the perfect Indian meal is served on a plate, which rests on a table with legs. Try some authentic Indian cuisine the way it was meant to be served with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of food and drink at Kamasutra Indian Restaurant & Wine Bar, located at 1522 Bayview Avenue.

Kamasutra brings authentic Indian fare to Toronto’s diners, forging dishes from a place of passion and professionalism. Sample the subcontinent with the brie pakoras appetizer ($7.95), which deep-fries cheese in chickpea butter, or run the gamut of oven offerings with the tandoori sampler ($17.95 for two people), containing chicken tikka, a mincemeat kebab, sufiyani salmon, and paneer tikka. Kamasutra’s signature dishes are taste-bud turn-ons, with the butter chicken ($12.95) and chicken tikka masala ($12.95) garnering come-hither stares from patrons. Carnivoyeurs can add chicken ($12.95), lamb ($13.95), or a number of other meat and seafood options to the curry-covered basmati-rice bed of the biryani. Vegetarian vigilantes can pause from patrolling shadowy side streets to tongue-trail the eggplant bharta ($10.95) or the mixed-vegetable curry ($10.95). Though Indian tradition calls for beer-chugging contests to accompany spicy cuisine, Kamasutra offers an extensive selection of wines, cocktails, and martinis in addition to beer.

With exposed brick and deep-red walls evoking the colour of clown noses—the universal symbol for sensuality—and curtains draping across the ceiling like smooth silky clouds, Kamasutra offers an intimate dining experience for both lovers and loathers. Get your Groupon and experience the attentive service of Kamasutra’s waitstaff while wallowing in a wheelbarrow’s worth of delicious Indian cuisine.

This Groupon is valid for dine-in or carryout orders.

• Their lunch specials are unbeatable - tasty Indian dishes served with mulligatawny soup, rice, naan and vegetable samosas. – North Toronto
• While haute Indian rages across the city, this less chi-chi Leaside favourite still holds its own. The burgundy and black colour scheme harks back to the space’s former incarnation as a pub, as does the strong selection of microbrews on tap. Goan-style curry of perfectly timed tilapia and shrimp delivers a rich coconut gravy. The wine list puts most curry houses to shame. Smooth and friendly service. – Toronto Life
• While the dishes have been "Canadianized" for our palets [sic] (less oily, for example) they are all excellent, from the hot tartness of the vindaloo to the buttery sweetness of the butter chicken, to the tandoori, daal and chana masala. All superb. – BBQGuy, Urbanspoon
