Angara Indian and Hakka downtown is one of the best indian restaurants in Toronto for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Gerrard India Bazaar.

Editorial review•Jun 10, 2026

Angara Indian and Hakka Downtown is doing something that most of Toronto's Indian restaurant scene quietly sidesteps: committing equally to two distinct culinary traditions without letting either become an afterthought. Hakka-Chinese cuisine — shaped by Chinese immigrant communities in Calcutta and carried across the diaspora — is notoriously difficult to execute with integrity alongside a full North Indian menu, and the concept here reportedly refuses to treat it as a novelty appendage. The room on Queen St W is described as warm and modern without the fussiness that often accompanies fusion-leaning spaces, and the deliberate choice of slow, mellow background music signals that this is a place built for long tables, unhurried conversation, and working through a menu that genuinely pulls in two directions. The anchor dishes are the Angara specials, and they appear to be what the kitchen is known for. The Chef Special Lamb Angara arrives on a sizzling plate — a theatrical but reportedly purposeful format — with a curry built around housemade spices and finished with cream, a combination diners consistently describe as layered rather than blunt in its heat. The Chef's Special Paneer Angara mirrors that approach for vegetarians, with the cheese holding against the same spiced, creamy base. Then the menu pivots sharply into Hakka territory with the chili momos — dumplings that regulars apparently circle back to specifically, the kind of dish that reorients what you assumed the evening would center on. At this price point, the range of ambition on offer is striking. The strategic move, based on what the menu is known for, is to anchor your order around one of the Angara sizzlers and open with the chili momos. A weeknight visit gives you the room at a pace suited to lingering — the atmosphere is consistently described as conversational rather than built for quick turnover. Sit where you can watch the sizzling plates arrive; by all accounts, it sets the tone immediately.

Di An opened in a Scarborough strip mall less than a year ago and has apparently been making the downtown Vietnamese corridor look a little complacent ever since.
