Madras Woodlands on Devon east of Western is southern and vegetarian and very good. I don't remember its being that much hotter than the other neighboring restaurants, but I guess all of them tone down the food for us Westerners. They'll be happy to provide you with extra hot sauces.

The Woodlands was closed for renovation for a while. I don't know for sure that it's open now.

If it's closed, there are several more very good Indian restaurants within the two blocks west of Western.
