Curry . . . curry . . . where? McGill's, that's where!

Mango Mousse Tart

If you haven't been to McGill's yet to try the Indian cuisine, I have just one question for you.  Why not?  Worried it may be too spicy?  Never fear, both the aloo gobi and chicken korma are mildly spiced.  But what if I want to try it just a bit hotter, I hear you ask.  We've got you covered there too.  Just ask your server to get the kitchen team to kick it up a notch.  Make sure you save room for dessert though.  That mango mousse tart is simply beautiful! 

Unfortunately, the weather doesn't sound too cheerful for the weekend; however, we do have shelter from the elements on the patio if you happen to be like me and enjoy spending every single minute you can outside.  Sit under the awnings and stay dry.



McGill's is fully licensed with Garrison beer on tap, bottled beer and an excellent selection of wines.  Or try a cocktail.  I can also confidently say that the sangria is awesome!  Finish off your meal with an excellent specialty coffee.
