Dreaming of a villa on the Indian coast . . .


Seriously, who wants to be here?  Isn't that just perfect?  I could quite happily spend a week or two on this patio.  Or more.  Temperatures are warming up but spring certainly seems to be taking its time.
 
While most of us are not fortunate enough to be setting off on a beautiful holiday in Mauritius, McGill's is bringing us a taste of India this week.  I've said it before and I'll say it again . . . this is my most favourite menu rotation.  There are varying degrees of heat with some dishes being very mildly spiced.  But remember, you can always request that the kitchen staff kick it up a notch or two for you.  Whatever you do, just leave room for dessert!  You really need to try the mango mousse tart.  It'll have you coming back each month.
 
All our dishes are freshly prepared, but the wait is definitely worth it!  Come in and try some of our Indian cuisine.  You will not be disappointed.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  Reservations are encouraged.  This is relaxed dining in an intimate atmosphere.  And remember to check us out in the Scoops magazine distributed in your flyers.  You'll find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  We'd love to have you join us. 

Here is what we have to offer you this week:
