Ishq

What is Ishq? Located along Eglinton Avenue East in Clairlea-Birchmount, Ishq is a dedicated pure vegetarian restaurant delivering the regional breadth of Indian cooking under one roof. The airy, brightly lit dining room features modern wooden finishes, generous spacing between tables, and comfortable booths built to accommodate lively group dinners and multi-generational family gatherings.

Ishq Menu & What to Order The kitchen covers South Indian staples, North Indian gravies, Mumbai street chaat, tandoori skewers, and Indo-Chinese plates, complete with dedicated Jain-friendly options. Communal tables routinely order the colossal four-foot dosa paired with freshly ground coconut chutneys and sambar, alongside skewers of charred tandoori malai broccoli and sizzling chili paneer. Complete your feast with crisp kurkure bhendi or buttery pav bhaji, paired with a chilled mango lassi.

Know Before You Go Ishq operates on a walk-in friendly basis, though peak weekend dinner hours can see swift table turnover and brief queues for larger groups. Ample surface parking is available in the plaza lot, and transit riders can access the storefront via the Eglinton East bus corridors. The kitchen serves continuously seven days a week from 11:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
