An Indian Twist on a Mexican Dish

Restaurant: The Smoking Buddha
Country of Origin: India

Location: 265 King St, Port Colborne

How was it?

Excellent with a hint of mediocrity. 

The Smoking Buddha, an Indian restaurant nestled away in the city of Port Colborne is one of the Niagara Regions best kept secrets. 

With a very unique menu and an equally unique venue, The Smoking Buddha is a small town restaurant with a big city feel. 

The Smoking Buddha boasts a menu that features Thai, Indian, and Mexican selections, which all have an unique Indian influence on the ingredients.
Despite the restaurants business, the atmosphere was unexpectedly cozy, and had a cool "indie" feel due to it's art and decor.

The service was quick and ridiculously friendly.

I ordered an Indian inspired burrito, which found it's way to my table quickly. 
The burrito was delicious and unique. 
It had hints of curry and copious amounts of meat.
The plate would have perfect if it weren't for the bland and overly dry rice served with the burrito. 

Overall, a mix of decent food and great atmosphere makes this restaurant a winner.

I would recommend anyone with a sense of adventure check out The Smoking Buddha.
