Guru Lukshmi

 

The promise of the GTA’s best dosas draws a bustling crowd to this Mississauga spot, where the heady scent of coriander pervades the minimalist room. Massive dosas—crêpes made from fermented rice and black lentils—are available in dozens of varieties; they’re all vegetarian and customizable by spice level and filling. A potato and onion version coats your mouth with intense flavour and searing heat. A comforting bowl of sambhar holds spongy steamed lentil and rice cakes that soak up the belly-warming pea stew. Sweet, creamy, rosewater-perfumed gulab jamun help heal chili-scalded tongues. An onion- and garlic-free menu is available for the Jain and Swaminarayan community. Warm, welcoming service.
