The Food With the opening of Leela, Hormazd brings the flavours of his home country stateside, showcasing his Indian heritage through Canadian ingredients. The food at Leela covers all regions of India, and celebrates the wonders of Indian ‘Dhaba’ (road-side eatery in every neighbourhood or highways) food along with lesser-known dishes. The portions are all tapas style. Cross-Over Interpretation of Indian Some will argue that cross-over interpretation of Indian street food comes at a cost of authenticity but Hormazd disagrees. He believes that we need to revolutionize Indian food to represent its accomplishments and diversity on foreign shores, to be able to innovate you have to go back to tradition. It’s about adapting your food to local cultures and palates and at the same time reviving old forgotten Indian street food dishes by giving them a fun makeover to attract the attention it deserves. “with one foot in future and one in past, the menu at Leela reads a romantic fairy tale of “desi khana” marrying innovative Indian Food.
