Toronto's Donlands Diner isn't just retro for the sake of it: it really has been around since 1955.
Marking its 70th anniversary this month, East York's Donlands Diner is one such restaurant.
Nowadays, despite owning and operating both the Donlands and Broadview Diners, Mayuran also works behind the pass as Donlands Diner's head chef.
"We are lucky to have this place after so many years," Mayuran tells blogTO.
If you want to write yourself into Donlands Diner's 70-year-long story, you can visit them at 417 Donlands Ave. E.
