Bab's Burger

On Friday for lunch, I stopped by newly opened Kabab and Burger House near Dufferin and Bloor. This place advertised halal meat. Given that a mosque is just a few doors down, I'm surprised nobody jumped on this years ago. The Muslim men and women who came and went obviously thought it was a good idea.

The menu was a bit strange: about half South Asian (butter chicken, etc.) and half "North American" with burgers and such. I decided to try the $5.99 special with your choice of 1 meat and 1 veggie. The plate that came looked like any Indian joint but there were some interesting differences. Instead of basmati, it was a thin, long-grained pulao rice that imparted fluffiness. Both the chili chicken and assorted veggie didn't taste much of curry. In fact, they were more middle-eastern in flavour. All in all, I quite enjoyed this cheap lunch.
