Taj Curry House

April 12, 2011September 21, 2015 Russ

Darbar was closed for a week when I was having a wicked Indian craving. Rahim’s wouldn’t answer my calls. Curry Original was too expensive. I was stuck. I checked out Kingstonist’s poll and decided to try out Taj Curry House given its third place ranking. I typically order delivery when

Niji

I’ve been working with a great group of students over the last two weeks. They already know what they are doing next year but despite this, they are still working hard on my service! We started a discussion about places to eat in Kingston and M, one of the students,

Grecos

So I am moving to Calgary! I found a job there so I will be leaving at the end of the month. I am excited about the move back but I have really enjoyed my culinary adventures in Kingston over the last 2.5 years. One of the greatest things that

Top 10 of 2010: Mia Gelato

December 30, 2010March 30, 2014 Russ

In the dead of Winter, it’s hard to think about enjoying frozen treats such as gelato, but during the warmer months I wanted nothing more. Russ reviewed Mia Gelato pretty early on in the Summer, while Kingstonians were quick to flock to this solid alternative to White Mountain. Thanks to

A Brief Guide to Coffee in Downtown (Part 2 of 2)

December 14, 2010July 27, 2017 Russ

This is a continuation of a Brief Guide to Coffee in Downtown, Part One. Next up was Sleepless Goat. I don’t always love the atmosphere here. It has its charms but sometimes I find it too busy, too loud, and too messy. The tables are pretty rickety and the surfaces

A Brief Guide to Coffee in Downtown (Part 1 of 2)

December 7, 2010July 27, 2017 Russ

I decided that I would do a little coffee tour while working on a grand rounds project in order to: a) keep myself thoroughly caffeinated and b) get my butt out of the house so I could get some work done. While I did not include all coffee shops in

Curry Original

November 17, 2010September 21, 2015 Russ

I’ve always noted that when I went to Indian restaurants, I never saw any Indian people (or very few). I asked some of my Indian friends about this and overwhelmingly, they felt that Indians don’t think that there is any value in going out to eat Indian when your mom

Golden Rooster

November 9, 2010September 21, 2015 Russ

Golden Rooster sounds more like a Chinese restaurant than a deli. A staple of downtown Princess Street, the line ups at lunch can be ridiculous. But the people of Kingston have good taste when they support this local establishment. The selection of deli meat and cheeses are impressive and while

Casa Domenico

October 19, 2010June 14, 2017 Russ

I went to Casa Domenico in November 2008 and there were just too many problems that I decided not to write about it, despite the fact that it is considered highly recommended on Chowhound. For starters, the server heard my order wrong and ordered me the wrong meat dish, then

Pabellon Gastropub

Pabellon Gastropub is permanently closed. Looking for a place that’s still open? Check out our restaurant reviews and recommendations for establishments that are still open and serving great food in Kingston. The Gastropub is a new concept to me. I tried out Wellington Gastropub in Ottawa (definitely worth checking out

The Pilot House

August 24, 2010September 21, 2015 Russ

I really like fish and chips but it is hard to taste test them frequently because they are quite oily. I’ve heard from various sources that the Pilot House served the best fish and chips in Kingston so I decided to check it out. It is sort of a dodgy

Zappas Lounge

Zappas Lounge is permanently closed. Looking for a place that’s still open? Check out our restaurant reviews and recommendations for establishments that are still open and serving great food in Kingston. Joy Supper Club closed maybe 9 months ago. I never really liked it. The main problem it had was
