Founded in Ontario almost fifty years ago by Canadian hockey player Tim Horton, the first Tim Hortons restaurant offered only two products: Coffee n’ Donuts.

Vij’s Rangoli Restaurant Review
Whenever there’s a long lineup outside world renowned Vij’s Restaurant (which seems to be all the time!) its sister restaurant Rangoli, right next door, is the perfect alternative.

It’s been a while since we visited one recently over here on [...]
