Pow Wow Cafe Verified listing

Pow Wow Cafe is chef and restaurateur Shawn Adler's sixth project, and with it he's bringing the joy of Indigenous foods to Torontonian taste buds in the form of a taco. The Kensington Market restaurant uses a frybread base for all the tacos: it's a food with origins in the rations Indigenous people were given when they were kicked off their territory by settlers. The space is small with a minimal little patio under an awning outside and scant seating inside beyond a big front window. The tiny kitchen is open for all to see Adler's assembly of his creations, dunking huge hunks of frybread dough into a deep fryer and chopping them up into rough squares.
