Real desi street food, minutes from Fairview Mall
Skip the food court. Come up Don Mills Road for the real thing.
CF Fairview Mall is one of North York's busiest shopping spots, but when you want honest, made-fresh Indian food, the food court doesn't cut it. IndiaWaale sits just up the road at Peanut Plaza, 3040 Don Mills Road East, roughly five minutes north of the mall. We're a busy desi street-food kitchen, the kind you'd find in Delhi or Mumbai, with tawas going non-stop, a live tandoor in the back, and paneer cubed to order.
Everything is cooked in-house the same day. Our chicken and mutton are 100% halal-certified, most of the menu is vegetarian, and plenty of it is vegan-friendly. Whether you're shopping, catching a movie at Cineplex Fairview Mall, or heading home along Sheppard, we're the closest place to grab a real Indian meal, and we're open late every single night.
