The Indian Canteen

What is The Indian Canteen? Operating out of 100 Yonge Street just steps from King subway station, The Indian Canteen is a streamlined weekday lunch counter built for the Yonge-Bay Corridor's corporate crowd. The setup is unfussy and utilitarian, centered around a fast-moving collection counter tailored for swift grab-and-go orders alongside modest casual seating for those eating on the fly.

The Indian Canteen Menu & What to Order The kitchen delivers classic, comforting staples anchored by hearty rice and freshly baked naan combos loaded with rich lamb, tender chicken, or spiced paneer curry. The fragrant Chicken Biryani packed with warm spices offers substantial midday fuel, while the crisp Aloo Kulcha stuffed with seasoned potato makes an essential side. Round out the order with a golden Veg Samosa and a cooling cup of raita to balance the heat.

Know Before You Go This is an exclusively walk-in counter operation where service moves quickly, even during the peak noon-to-1:30 p.m. office rush. Operating hours are strictly Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., catering entirely to the downtown workday rhythm. King Station is less than a block away, making the TTC by far your best transit option.
