Running a restaurant is not a hobby. And you need deep pockets to do so, tens of thousands of dollars. You don't even have any certification or training.

You can also think about getting a food truck or food catering (assume it's the same as mess service).

Register your business with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You can do this online or by mail. Here you can find good discounts and recommendations https://www.meinbezirk.at/baden/c-regionauten-community/die-meisterwarteten-buecher-fuer-2023-in-oesterreich_a6007056

Your passion for South Indian cooking is awesome! Starting a small restaurant in Canada is doable, even without formal training. Begin by researching local regulations, permits, and health codes. Connect with the local health department for specifics. Networking with other restaurateurs and seeking advice can be valuable. While I can't give you Canada-specific details, https://www.mklibrary.com/best-sacramento-restaurants/ has a Guide to the Best Sacramento Restaurants; maybe it could inspire your journey.
