Main Street Cook

I took a couple of days to reflect and digest the food we ate over the weekend in Canada(both mentally and physically )It was a great trip to Niagara Falls Canada and I would highly recommend  going both for the falls and the surrounding atmosphere. 

The food options were numerous and finding food gems wherever we go has become a hobby and a secondary activity on our trips. 

In a limited time frame we were able to try out a few Trip Advisor top ranked restaraunts and decided on a winner.

Cheetal Indian Cuisine and Buffet was the standout. 

We were greeted very nicely by a gentleman who I believe was the owner.  He sat us, got our drinks and showed us everything at the buffet after we told him that's what we were there for.  He briefly explained some dishes and answered any questions we had.  It was a nice personal touch for us because we are less experienced in Indian Cuisine.

The food was great, every dish had loads of flavor from herbs and spices. This restaraunt with this food is NOT for the immature pallet.   I would highly recommend going to Cheetal for a different type of food experience in Niagara. We surprisingly ate  this buffet for lunch and did not suffer from MSG hangover that you would find in your standard run of the mill Chinese  buffet.

Cheers to you Cheetal. You stood out and made an impression on us as my wife  made naan and curried lentils for dinner on the Tuesday following our trip 

Over Labor Day weekend  we took an 8hr trip up to Niagara Falls, Ontario.  We took in everything we could in the area which included the falls (of course), food (duh), and some hiking. The people watching was and is always an added bonus while traveling. 

If you haven't been to Niagara Falls but you've been to Gatlinburg, TN or Branson MO, picture both on steroids.  Roughly guessing I'd say there are 10 times the amount of people that are packed into the city at any given time and there are more entertainment and food options but actually less shopping. 

If you're an American traveling up north, you can take advantage of the conversion  rate.  The Canadien dollar carries only 75% of the American dollar.  We heard multiple jokes about preferring American money over Canadien.  

I'll try to review a few restaraunts as well as the hiking trail that we visited while  we were there in the next few days.  So check back later and I'll have you  wanting to plan a trip to one of Nature's  wonders pimped out to make a nice short vacation enjoyable!
