A Toronto institution since it opened in the late 1970s, the Indian Rice Factory is in a league of its own. The corduroy banquettes and macramé wall hangings still draw boomers who started coming here 20 years ago. The Punjabi-influenced menu features heaping helpings of beef dhansak (braised with lentil-eggplant-tomato curry) and chicken khashabad, stuffed with almonds, cashews, and raisins in coconut-milk cream. There are many beers from local microbreweries, and a small but well-chosen wine list.
