Toronto is now home to Thindi, a unique destination for noodles and snacks from the streets of India, including globally inspired grilled cheese sandwiches. Some of the Indian-inspired grilled cheese sandwiches available at Thindi include one particularly photographic option that's bright green in color, thanks to the fact that it's made with chutney with cilantro, mint, yogurt, spices, lime juice and peanuts.
There's also a Pineapple Cheese sandwich that combines pieces of pineapple slices and homemade pineapple jam with mozzarella. As well as offering other kinds of sandwiches like the Masala Omelette and the Mumbai Sandwich, Thindi also shares plenty of noodle dishes and small bites for snacking, including plenty of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options.
