New to Long Branch, The Tale Indian Cuisine and Bar sure has a story to tell.

Owners Mohnish Bhagat and his wife, Gurleen Kaur, opened their dream vegetarian eatery in January and their nice-tasting curries have been catching on.

The pair are from Brampton, but decided to open their business at 3747 Lake Shore Blvd. W., because they obtained a ‘good deal and all the good names for Indian restaurants in Brampton were taken.’

“People love our vegetarian food, all of which are gluten free,” Gurleen says. “We have been getting a lot of good reviews from people who love our food.”

Customers love their range of curries and combos, which are all under $12.

The butter soya, which taste like butter chicken, is popular; along with the Matar Panner, an exotic paneer curry cooked in tomato and onion based sauce.

Their food is quite tasty. The naan was crisp and warm and went well with the butter soya.

“We like this area and the people here,” Gurleen says. “The people have been good to us.”

The pair grew up in the Punjab and came to Canada in the last 10 years and settled in Brampton.

They did not know each other until a chance meeting on Facebook.

“We then learned that we had attended the same school in India for 12 years,” Kaur explains. “We were even together in a school picture and we did not know each other.”

It did not take long before Mohnish packed in his truck driving job and joined Gurleen in the kitchen.

“That is where the name ‘The Tale’ comes from,” she says. “Everyone has a tale and they are encouraged to talk about their tale here.”

They plan to install a board on which customers can pin a story of their tale for others to see.
