Bayview’s new vegan Indian restaurant now serving thali

From their website:

Hindusthali opened its doors for the first time in Montreal in 2017. These years have allowed me to create and share with my customers new dishes and recipes. We are happy to open an unit in Toronto for a new venture.

Hindusthali is an Indian vegan restaurant with the objective of proposing and offering healthy and tasty food, responsible for the environment, and respect for ethics. Hindusthali is first and foremost a concept with cuisine that draws its resources from Ayurveda while creating its own recipes rich in flavours and colors…hindusthali.com

They’re now open at 1574 Bayview Avenue. We’d like to note that their Google reviews in Montreal were outstanding. Definitely on our “must try” list. Welcome to South Bayview!

New sign installed today at Bayview flower shop, Supermart

Bayview’s newest flower stop, Supermart, got a shiny new sign today. They are located in the former Pagnello’s Antiques location at 1633-1635 Bayview Avenue.

Parpar women’s clothing is now open at 1569 Bayview Ave

Comings and goings observed on South Bayview in May

A stroll down our favourite street has revealed changes to some well known businesses. Peering through the glass, we could see the demolition of the interior space that was formerly home to Scholar’s Choice and Butter Studio. The refurbished space will make way for a “new restaurant” with a patio, according to a building permit application. Strolling south, we observed a new banner that is covering up the sign for the Bombay Snack Bar. They are now known as Charcoal Biryani at 1595 Bayview Ave. Parpar clothing is still preparing their store, with plans to open in the former location of Express Travel at 1569 Bayview Ave. Since patio season has officially begun, tables, chairs, potted plants and smiling faces are starting to fill our sidewalks. We think the electric blue patio set at La Diperie is rather eye-catching! This will be their first summer at 1559 Bayview Ave. Welcome to Bayview, Supermart and Petals (1635 Bayview Ave.) your beautiful flowers are a feast for the eyes!

Construction continues in the base of the new residential building known as The Stack, 730 Hillsdale Avenue East at Bayview. Maker Pizza and The Sweet Potato (grocery store) will be opening later in 2022.

See you on Bayview!

Bayview & Belsize Royal Bank will offer new layout, services

The Royal Bank branch located at 1554 Bayview Avenue is scheduled to start a renovation in September 2022. They say the new layout will offer “a new layout, removing counters, making it easier for our advisors to engage safely with clients; interactive areas where our advisors can assist you with new ways to bank; and free secure wi-fi”. Some over-the-counter services will be moving to community branches at Laird & Wicksteed and Bayview & York Mills.

Signs on Bayview stores tell of new businesses coming soon

Signs on vacant stores along Bayview offer a tantalizing glimpse of new business coming to the street. A sign on the now-closed Express Travel at 1569 Bayview tells us that Parpar Boutique plans to open there. Parpar already has two shops in the City. At the former location of Pagnello’s a sign indicates that Old Gold Jewellery is coming. Next door, the sign says that Supermart and Petals will arrive in May.
