How we pick
A restaurant is here for one of three reasons. It holds a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide Toronto & Region 2026, unveiled September 22, 2026. It is Michelin-recommended in 2026 and Toronto Tourism (October 25, 2026) lists it as Indian. Or three of four guides name it: Toronto Tourism, blogTO (October 20, 2021), Narcity (May 2024) and TasteToronto (February 14, 2020). The three Bib Gourmand winners come first, then the three recommended places, then the guide favourites. Banjara and Leela appear on all four guides. Dil Se appears on three. Guru Lukshmi is in Mississauga, in the Toronto region.
