Chef Debu Saha's Nouvelle Indian Cuisine

Gone Fishing...

After 10 years in business, I have decided to close my location at 25 Wellesley Street East. The last day of operations will be this Sunday, April 29.

I would like to thank all my patrons for their valued support. Cooking for you has been my raison d'etre for the past ten years and it has been a very good experience. You have always provided me with great feedback and lots of ideas on how to make your fine dining experience even better.

I am very excited about this change as finally I will have time to travel, study and eat! My plan is to do a work/study term in Europe and then travel to Asia where I will spend some time in India doing consulting work and learning more about regional cuisines.

If all goes well, I will be returning to Toronto in early 2008. Plans for a new restaurant are in the works. Expect an intimate and individual approach to fine dining Indian-style and an adventurous menu matched to "new world" wines from the sub-continent and beyond.

I plan on posting regular items to keep you up-to-date with my culinary travels.

Bon appetite!

*** 1/2 stars for Debu Saha's Biryani House in the most recent edition of Toronto Life's Restaurant Guide...

"This split-level, carpeted, chandeliered room is home to some of Toronto’s best Indian cuisine. Vegetable fritters set in a pappadum basket with mango and mint-coriander sauces ($5.95) open the evening’s feast with a burst of bright tastes and crackling textures. Smoke-imbued, cubed Ontario lamb tenderloin ($12.95) sauced with pomegranate-brightened yogurt and mint chutney is pure elegance on the tongue. Five juicy mammoth shrimp ($15.95) couldn’t be sweeter under their rich spice rub..."
