The Kettle

What is The Kettle? Set along Queen Street West near Bathurst, The Kettle delivers a contemporary, casual spin on Indian comfort classics and vibrant street chaat. Founded by Sana Lakdawala and Faiz Shaikh, the warm dining space features clean wooden accents, soft amber lighting, and kettle-themed decor with welcoming window tables. The concept effortlessly bridges high-spirited morning Indian brunches with an intimate evening dinner crowd.

The Kettle Menu & What to Order The entirely Halal menu hits its stride with daytime mashups like the cardamom-laced Gulab Jamun Challah French Toast and spiced Pulled Beef Benny on toasted English muffins. Dinner brings comforting savoury depth, headlined by a coal-smoked butter chicken curry, crispy Prawns 65 over dosa, and tangy Dahi Puri 2.0. Pair your meal with a slow-brewed masala iced chai or Delhi-style cold coffee, saving room for the decadent gulab jamun cheesecake.

Know Before You Go Weekend brunch draws hefty neighborhood crowds, making advance reservations via their booking platform essential if you want to avoid lengthy sidewalk waits. The restaurant sits steps from the 501 Queen streetcar line at Bathurst, and street parking along Queen West can be scarce on peak evenings. Operating hours run Tuesday through Sunday for dinner, with dedicated daytime brunch and afternoon tea seatings from Thursday through Sunday.
