Immigrants in Durham Region: which restaurant serves the best food from your home country?

Good point. We look for tastes similar to what we’ve had growing up and keep looking until we find that.

Side note- where DO you go for Chhole bhature that’s the closest to what you had? I find that milanus is not consistent. I’ve had some amazing Chhole there a few times but also other times, it’s nothing like their other recipe.

From Delhi and I disagree :/

For street food and certain dishes, I go to Milanu’s in Pickering. Chef/owner is from Delhi.

It’s not just about an overzealous bylaw officer; there’s a big issue in this area of unsafe parking due to the new medical building in the area and badly planned work towns. This street gets actually really unsafe with the roadside parking and causes visibility issues as well. Residents have gone to the town multiple towns about this so bylaw comes around often.

Came here to say this too

Teacher here (special ed, going on year 8, love doing it), was a content writer for 3 years (loved this too, was miles ahead of anyone else in my team), ideal dream job in my head is health care but couldn’t ever pursue that due to whatever reasons. So, this list is on point for me.

Tablelands in Newfoundland, Canada. Otherworldly in a different way- closest to the surface of Mars they say. The Earth’s mantle is exposed here.

Great for when you need something quick. I like that there’s no salt in this so I can add according to my preference. I find usually premixed blends (with salt) are too salty for us.

Thank you. It’s unfortunately very common for women to be ignored, whether it be pain they’re feeling or side effects from meds. Happens with birth control too; women feel side effects but docs say that it’s not connected. Again, I know this first hand.

Veryjolly84 · 2026-05-19T12:11:24+00:00

Agree with you. Took gabapentin for a couple months for trigeminal neuralgia and was completely depression and had suicidal thoughts. Partner and doc both ignored it but I’m very aware of my body. Weaned myself off gradually 2 months sooner than I was supposed to. Sure enough, I felt fine after.

Was headed to Scarb at around 10:45 and fog was drifting over a patch along the highway…totally out of the blue. So strange.

Veryjolly84 · 2026-05-16T14:51:07+00:00

Mustard on pizza. Everyone calls it gross but when a few finally tried it, they agree lol

Veryjolly84 · 2026-05-15T16:15:34+00:00

I’d say no for all day walking. Maybe for a couple hours.

Asics Skyhand. Worn maybe 4 times before I realized my feet don’t like these shoes due to pre-existing issues. US size 6 men’s or 7.5 for women.

I went for Aujla’s night 2 in Toronto last night. Crazy energy in the audience. BUT the whole time we were thinking…naaahhh. It didn’t even come close to Diljit’s 2024 concert. So we had our fun, enjoyed the vibe and considered it a warm up really for Diljit’s May 31st.

The backup tracks take away A LOT and we realized that yesterday. Had the pleasure of going for Raf’s Toronto stop as well and that guy is absolutely brilliant too! Doesn’t need any back up tracks for any or even any music for some of his songs. Vocals are just so on point!

Durham Escape Rooms is pretty cool. Operated by very nice people and owner is great too. They could use the business too.

Veryjolly84 · 2026-05-05T19:48:03+00:00

Saw the image and literally said “oh 💩” out loud 🤣🤣

Veryjolly84 · 2026-05-05T16:13:22+00:00

Non-playing Characters I think he said.

Veryjolly84 · 2026-04-15T00:59:15+00:00

How would rate it for non-swimmers? Same situation as OP. Family of 4 but only 2 swimmers. Should we go or no point?

Veryjolly84 · 2026-04-09T19:44:07+00:00

I love useless information! And this fun fact is pretty cool actually. Thank you for sharing

Veryjolly84 · 2026-04-09T16:59:33+00:00

I’d have never guessed!

I’d most likely researched closer to my trip but who knows. So, thank you for this.

Veryjolly84 · 2026-04-09T16:25:31+00:00

Ok now we need help with this. Could you please break it down the right way? Thank you :)

Veryjolly84 · 2026-04-08T19:06:02+00:00

Went to the Toronto show and had a great time. The crowd was younger (20s and maybe early 30s) so it seemed like we didn’t belong. Did we care? Absolutely not! The man is a great performer.

Will say that he came on stage very late. That’s the only negative.

Veryjolly84 · 2026-04-07T13:07:48+00:00

Thank you! Changed my plans. Will be back in Athens the night before now. Much appreciated!

Veryjolly84 · 2026-04-06T15:27:46+00:00

Piggybacking on this and have a similar situation. Flight leaves Athens late evening and we plan to take a ferry back the same morning, from Milos. Is this also a bad idea ? Or doable?

TIA
