Malaysian Garam Masala

At first glance it might not look like much but Malaysian Garam Masala (or «Sankees», as some of the locals call it) serves some of the best food in the area at a very reasonable price. Whenever you’re here, ask for the Johnny Wrap. You won’t be disappointed.

This place is amazing. I am always on the hunt for places that people don’t know about which are awesome. This is exactly that. They serve liquor as well as food. Make no mistake, it is a hole in the wall joint with tacky décor and seating. But the people that work there are hardworking and very nice.
The prices are very good and the beer is 3.50 for domestic.
Things to try: Chicken Kotthu Roti ($ 7) is so good. Also make sure to get the Fish Pakora (huge box for like 9 bucks) and get the sauces with it. You will not regret going to this place if you want a mix of Malaysian, South Indian food.

After a long day of running errands, I was in Markham meeting up with some friends and wanted something spicy to eat. My friends recommended this restaurant and referred to it as «a hole in the wall». I didn’t think they were being serious but as we walked in there… I was appalled at how outdated this place looked. I just stopped for a moment.Eww. This place was clean but I wonder who picked out that wallpaper and those hideous looking chairs, ahhh. Anyway, I assume they cater, since I waited in front of cash and watched the lady frantically running around, trying to get orders out the door. So the ordering system here isn’t like most restaurants, don’t recommend this place for a first date haha. This is how it worked: get in line, go through the menu and order at the front, take a seat (if your dining in) and after your done eating, pay up at cash, there is no need to tip if you happen to do all the work. Okay the best part, I ordered the hot and sour seafood soup to start, chilli chicken (asked for extra spicy) and spicy shrimp/​chicken red noodle. I grabbed a bottle of Heineken like everyone else, to «prepare» myself for the spice level, supposedly my friends think it helps with the digestion part. Where do people come up with these theories haha! The beer didn’t help so I stuck to my 4 glasses of water. that theory doesn’t work on me! The food came out fast and the first thing that came out was the soup, it didn’t look so visually appealing, maybe due to the ugly fluorescent lighting. It made everything look old and washed out and that floral granny panties wallpaper.eugh. still did a great job irritating me the whole evening. Once I had the first spoonful of soup, it was delicious. I really enjoyed the texture and spicyness. After wiping my forehead a couple of time and giving my tastebuds a 5 minute spice break, the noodle and chilli chicken both came out together. The dry chilli chicken went perfectly with the noodles. In between every bite I was chugging down water, my mouth was on fire! I think at one point my mouth went numb ha! I really enjoyed the spicy food here and crave it more now. I need to go back… with an interior decorator! But also I would like to try the other 50 thing on the menu. Want to break out in a real sweat? Forget the gym and try this place ;)
