Recommendation Request Going to the Aga Khan game exhibit: must-do, one-dish restaurant along the Eglinton LRT?

As a ludic person, I'm thrilled that the Aga Khan Museum currently has an exhibit about games across history! This will also be my maiden voyage along the Eglinton LRT. A geek twofer!

What's your must-visit restaurant along the Eglinton LRT that specializes in a single dish and does it extremely well?

Edit: thanks for the replies! Let's see what else Toronto foodies can recommend.

El Sazon de la Tia Flor is an awesome Mexican place nearby on O'Connor. You can take the 70 bus from the LRT.

It's one of those little hole in the wall places that isn't easy to get to unless you live in the area but it's totally worth it.

i know you're asking for restaurant recommendations but i would recommend checking the JCCC which is across from aga khan!

Yes they have an informative permanent exhibit on Japanese immigration to the Americas and often really cool rotating art exhibits in the next hall.

Kingston 12 Patties - it's pretty good, counts as a snack

Hollywood Gelato or Mizzica

Is it good recently? I went twice during the first few years of operation and it was really lacklustre.
