Rated this place:
A healthier alternative to street meat: Located on Nathan Philips Square, this Toronto A La Cart food stand features signature Central Asian/Persian dishes. The first is a choice of either chicken or vegetable biryani, a rice-based dish that for 5$ is a great bargain considering the amount that you get at that price. The chicken dish is not too spicy and comes with a hefty serving of chicken mixed with steamed whole-grain rice. The cart also offers salsa karahi that is served in a pita or chapati or with a side of rice for 5$. Set among the usual hot dog and ice cream stands that cover the sidewalk adjacent to Queen Street, this Toronto A La Cart location is looking to set itself as a healthy food option in order to ensure its staying power. With tasty choices such as biryani, a 3$ kabob wrap, and a 7$ rice homus, kabob and salad combo, Toronto a La Cart’s Central Asian/Persian food vendor is looking like a winner.
