A new upscale restaurant offering halal Pakistani fusion food, crafted mocktails and desserts is now open in Mississauga.
Ethereal Restaurant and Lounge located at 3105 Winston Churchill Blvd inside of Unit 9, officially opened for business on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14.)
According to the restaurant’s website, Ethereal is a place where luxury meets elegance.
The restaurant’s appetizer selection includes street food classics such as the zesty Lahori fried fish bites and crispy chicken pakora bites (meat fritters) both served with a refreshing mint chutney. Other options include poutine and fried wings tossed in your choice of garlic, honey, spicy thai, bbq or hot sauce.
A crowd favourite is the signature Ethereal Dynamite Bomb Chicken where the meat is fried in a tempura mix then covered in a creamy spiced sauce and topped with green onions.
There’s even a Rose pasta that comes with the option of adding chicken tikka.
A variety of burgers are also offered. Each burger is served with fries with the option to substitute for salad, onion rings, or sweet potato fries at an additional charge.
A popular item is the Ethereal Charcoal Burger which is a beef smash burger between charcoal buns and includes lettuce, onion rings, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and a special house sauce.
If you’re craving something more traditional, the restaurant has chicken and beef kebabs available.
For sides there’s a selection of regular naan, roghni naan and paratha.
Ethereal offers an extensive drink menu featuring sodas and smoothies with flavours like strawberry banana and mango lassi. Some of the coffee and tea selections include the Karak chai, Kashmiri chai, Turkish tea, caramel latte, and vanilla latte.
For mocktails some must try’s are the Tropical Vacation, Pink Love Potion, Lavender Bliss, and the Midnight Twilight.
Patrons interested in cleansing their palates or exploring new tastes might consider the restaurant’s selection of paan. This traditional betel leaf wrap is available in sweet, savory or refreshing varieties. Some of Ethereal’s paan options include meetha paan, chocolate paan, Kashmiri Rose paan, fire paan and smoke paan.
If you’re looking to complete your meal with something sweet, the restaurant has many kinds of desserts to choose from. Some popular items include the rose cheesecake, Gulab Jaman (deep fried dough balls soaked in syrup) with a side of vanilla ice cream, the rose flavoured Ras Malai (clotted cream in milk) or the Rabri Falooda (ice cream mixture made with full fat milk, sugar, cardamom and nuts, basil seeds and Vermicelli noodles.)
