I really like the bakery items but there was this one time a chicken roll I had bought tasted rancid. As much as I love the food, I make sure to have a taste while I'm in the parking lot in case that happens again. The rice and curries as well as the kottu is also really good. The service is okay, sometimes the ladies at the front have an attitude lol.
As you can see the rotis are not cooked well. It's like eating clay. No taste at all. I got a stomachache after having these. It's not worth the price we've paid for. Not recommending for anybody.
I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. We ordered roti, lentil curry, and chai for breakfast, which ended up costing around $50. The food was not well cooked, bland, lacked flavor, and definitely not worth the high price. For that amount, we could have had a much tastier meal elsewhere, like a good burger. On top of that, the customer service was terrible. The lady who served us was extremely rude and unpleasant, with zero patience to answer any of our questions. Her attitude made the entire experience even worse. To make matters worse, we ended up with stomach aches after eating here. The quality of the food was so poor that I wouldn't even give this place 1 star. Absolutely the worst buying experience I've had – I will never return. Avoid at all costs!
Always great food and customer service! My go-to place for lunch and dinner at reasonable prices. Love that they now serve wings and dessert here. Makes it a one spot stop. Highly recommend!!!
They got a good range of menu, I tried a few, and they turned out to be yummy, staff is very friendly and quick, and a wide range of veg and non veg, I loved there prawns and fried rice, prices are cheap affordable and good quantities with quality food, must try highly recommended and will come back for sure. And for to mention about the parathas they have, just woooow . Keep up the taste, thank you 😊
I’ll start off by saying the food here is good. I have only been disappointed with the lack of accuracy to orders and attention to customers and service. This place would get 5 stars but the people working at front need to be replaced or trained better. If I’m going to a “ Tamil “ take out place I don’t see why we can’t order in our native language. Every time I speak in Tamil I get a response in English. This isn’t even the main issue. Whenever I go and ask for a custom order such as extra onions. They don’t ever follow it. They’ll forget it and then throw it on top and charge me for a few pieces. If that’s the case I might as well just go to a grocery store and buy an onion and put it myself. What I recommend to the store. Train your employees with better order accuracy. Servers to speak Tamil when the person also is speaking Tamil. It’s our language and there should be no reason not to speak it. Aside from that keep up the great food.
I guess prices of everything has gone up every where. Food: 4 | Service: 3 | Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Chicken & Mutton Kothu, vegetable Briyani, Onion Roti Seating Options: It’s a takeout only at this location Vegetarian options: Available Kid-friendliness: It's a kids friendly Parking options: Free parking Dietary restrictions: They can make your order based on dietary restrictions Not bad Food, food price is responsible , everything has gone up as a small business what can’t they do except to continue to increase their price as well. Must try their fish patties and veg Briyani. Noodles used to be good but now days noodles are almost plan, hardly no meat or vegetables in it. So something to think about. Pls try to keep the quality of the food don’t cut back on quality and quantity. Had a very bad experience with string hoppers not too long ago. Double check it before taking it. I do know they don’t make the string hoppers at the location so just be cautious. Customer service could be better for sure.
They serve fresh food with good price. Bought samosa, spring roll, fish cutlet and shrimp tempura on the occasion of a colleague's birthday. Everyone loved them except Fish cutlets - were too spicy and hot, it was too much for non-spice eaters. I had better fish cutlets in other places. My personal choice goes with samosas and shrimp tempura. Specially, Samosas were mind blowing. I would definitely go back to this place for the samosas.
A great spot to pick up snacks, meals or food for a large event . Always quick and will cook larger orders if needed.
Sri lankan food
Tasty Sri Lankan food..
Used to be good before COVID, not anymore Prices have increased considerably & quality has gone down Food
Tasty and reasonable take out South Indian. I enjoy the dal wada, medu wada and nantha special Kothu. Edit Nov 29, 2024. Rare sight to see the servers smiling, discussing options. Much appreciated. Thank you Food
Food is good. Takeout is the only option
Vegetarian options: Available Dietary restrictions: Accomodable Kid-friendliness: Take out restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Nice place great food.
Any Bengali looking for Taaler bora should try this place (not available all the time). They often have it in the evening time mostly during weekends.
We had a really bad experience. One of the staffs who was working on 14th Saturday around 9:40pm was soooo rude and seems like not even interested in the customer service field, doesn t show any respect and manner while working in a popular restaurant like this . Customer service was very poor and really sorry for this review. Food was amazing.
Very expensive Less quantity ,taste not great too much oil not even good oil though I informed the food and safety department with the proof
The store was like any other normal Indian store, not that exclusive. I ordered chicken biryani and I got biryani rice(without chicken) and 3 chicken tandoori pieces. Thats it. I wouldnt call that biryani, its like eating masala rice and chicken tandoori leg pieces. Also not worth $13 something inclusive tax. But their Idli and Dosa are very good. Also try Vada, wait for the fresh batch, they always sell out and make new ones frequently. These things are very cost friendly. Vegetarian options: Idlis, Dosa, masala dosa, veg samosa, medu vada
Cheap and good food. Always crave for their fish curry, meat rolls, and prawns. If they have a place for dine-in will be great
I Wing Kitchen was awesome, there are lots of wing restaurants around the area, so far my Tai BBQ flavour fantastic.
Variety
Nice South Asian take out place. The mutton rolls were my go to, but theyve declined in quality recently; so has the kothu roti. The mutton curry, tandoori chicken legs and plain roti are consistently good. Staff is not the friendliest, but theyre quick and efficient, which I appreciate.
The waiting can get long so be prepared to wait. All due to freshly made food which is a great thing to compensate for. Strong authentic Sri Lankan flavours in all their food items. Chicken kothu roti is my favourite. Their options of with gravy and dry give you a choice of how much curry you want with your meal. Their snack items are a great way to taste what they have to offer at a fraction of a price before ordering a meal. Pricing in general is great, you get your moneys worth of a meal. Usually enough for 2 people to share.
All the curries are very spicy with too much oil and masala. Especially the lady s finger curry .the lady s finger is barely visible in the oil and masala. We got rice with curries yesterday and today both me and my husband had stomach pain and upset stomach. I have never given google review for any restaurant. But today I am forced to. Will never step into this place again..Instead of eating the regular pizza and burger which is ofcourse is unhealthy , we think of eating curries with more veggies and come to a place like this. But it turns out that these curries are more unhealthy than the pizza and burger
Great place
Super salty not eatable
Nalla rusiyaana Tamil saappadu weanuminda Inga poonga. you guys wanna gd and tasty Tamil traditional food? Just go here ( I was reviewing this 7 years back but this restaurant doesn t have tasty food anymore also the customers service with new people is worse.
You get enough for what you pay..
Found a metal piece in vada. Called store and they told me to send a picture and then I didn t hear anything. So I give it 1 star. They deserve it.
My go to place for home food.A little bit more items in the non veg section or different style of cooking variations different week would be better
Service. To good.
Hidden gem for Sri Lankan snacks! The flavors are authentic, and every bite brings back memories of Sri Lanka. Their samosas and patties are always crispy and flavorful, and the kottu roti is a must-try. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, making it perfect for a delicious and convenient takeout experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy genuine Sri Lankan snacks!
Good service
Very tasty Food, also wide selection of choices to choose from.
Very worst taste totally disappointed one of the worst biriyani I ever had! The egg and chicken is spoiled! Very worst experience I ever had!
You can find 1 liter of oil in all kinds of curries.You have to keep the curry in fridge overnight. Scoop out the oil and then eat the next day. I told this to the owner and he is showing his teeth.
Best food tried for first time and it was so good. The flavour in every dish was delicious
Snacks and curries are OK but chicken biryani is totally wasted, there is no chicken it and just like a yellow colour rice.
Ive never had and appettite for vegetarian dishes until I ate this food. All items, however, were all extremely well seasoned, spiced (mild not hot), and flavourful.
tasty food at reasonable price
Menu is not writen in English whoever helped me didnt speak a word of English but the food was delicious and I loved it
Always come here for the kottu. Delicious.
I bought a mutton rollS- and chicken rolls .Morning time . It s bad smalls and test bad . Thay Sailing old rolls
The biriyani they make is totally unhealthy. Not sure why they are adding so much oil and there is no flavor in the biriyani.
The best mutton kottu that I have ever tasted
Very delicious.never disappoints me .their beef is so yummy
Nice food. Good price as compared to other places. I love their spicy chicken biriyani.
Great joint for Sri Lankan food. Prb the best in the area. Very reasonable prices too
Inside the roll is a piece of plastic on a spoon. There is a piece of plastic on a spoon inside the roll
Food in affordable prices.
Amazing Kothu Roti and Mutton Rolls!!! U still got to line up even if you had called prior to arrival. Love the Mutton Kothu
Food has got lot better and service is a bit slow, could improve on service.
Sri Lankan Tamil Restaurant.
Staffs were friendly and covid protocols were fully imposed. Yummy food as well !
Best kothu roti..
Kind of a hole in the wall, but staff is great and food is wonderful!
Justice served - value for money
Good food
Nice and good
Good Srilankan dishes are available here
Food is good, service is also not bad. I did have one instance where they mixed up my phone order and tried to make it seem like I made the mistake. Other than that, it s been all good. So just just take extra care when placing orders on the phone.
We got for dinner Kid-friendliness: We got Kotter rotting. Food : 5/5 |
Delicious food, service is efficient. Its a takeout place so just line up, last, and wait for food to be prepared. Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options. Parking: Busy sometimes, but there are always parking spots from my experience and it isnt too cramped. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible, but they are a takeout place anyway. I imagine they would be happy to deliver to a car in the lot.
Great food, Especially their nibbles Biriyani could be a little more authentic Food : 5/5
Nice food, affordable prices
Great food great prices......im not from sri lanka but love the food. You must try it
I love the tamil foood sold here
Their chili chicken is good. I just wish other food more consistent, sometimes its really good but sometimes it lacks for example kothu roti veggie is good one day but other day less flavour or more salty. They need consistency.. .
Nitan Chai is amazing!
Food quality is decent. Quantity is more so that it might suffice 2 people. Taste is also good and service and staffs are well mannered as well. Its a take out place, so nothing much can be expected from the atmosphere. Seems like there are lot of people who take food from here.
Amazing service and food .. I ski Lankan food. Specially kutta roti ...
I like their chicken curry, shrimp devil, and the appetizer. A must try place for South Indian dishes.
good food, could have a better system for catered orders when picking up. with the different locations the person who took my order almost confused it with another location; maybe they were training.
I used to love this place but recently their Kothu roti isn t spicy anymore. Last 2 times I asked for very very spicy it was still not spicy. Whereas before even their medium spice was spicy.
Perfect food, perfect service
Always amazing food! very tasty and good price.
Vegetarian options: Available Dietary restrictions: Must ask staff about particular needs Parking: Always busy, very hard to find parking Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
Nandhas is a staple in the community! Ive been coming here since theyve been open, all those years ago. Other than the prices going up slightly, the quality of food has never been degraded! I always get the kothu(mutton and chicken depending on my mood), and when you ask for extra gravity, they gladly do it and are not stingy! The short eats are also amazing! Mutton rolls are well cooked and portioned properly! Ill always be going here for my taste of Sri Lanka.
Good food. Slow service.
I always visit this place for eddiyapam and samosas. Being from western part of India, it s amazing to try food from southern part of India.
Service is always good.
Best Indian and sri Lankan taste food
Beef kothu Portha best
Food was meh! We got 5 plates of idlis, sambar and chutney...it was tasteless and more watery. Maybe we tried the wrong stuff. Just reviewing what we tried. It was very reasonable though.
Very good! I was craving for fish, cutlets and rolls, I bought it from them and it hit the spot. Only if there was a Tim Hortons nearby, it would be next level.
Nice place for snacks, this is a South Indian/ Srilankan store where you can get varieties of snacks. Please try their snacks and also they offer main course as well. Biryani, kottu roti, chicken, beef curry you can get here. They also have ice cream, serbet in summer you can enjoy them as well.
Ive been going here ever since I was a child. Their food is well known in Toronto. Their chicken briyani and kothu roti are always well made. They have small snacks which are always great to have. They are busy but they have many people at the front to assist with orders. The wait - is worth it.
Nice and affordable
Horrible service. Be mindful of wait time. I preorder the first day and make to call them an hour in advance to make sure that my order is in time. This is the third time I am waiting for my catering for over 30 mins
Their mutton biryani and mutton roll is so yummy and I am not even Sri Lankan.
Excellent food specially kotturoti
I new on induan food but the things I eat are great
The food here is tasty. Not Fabulous but better than the other restaurants in the vicinity. The fish buns are superb!! Service is very friendly!
The Best Mutton rolls in town. Super crunchy
Their onion parantha and sambar is still really tasty. They had great small samosas. Very genuine price too. But I felt their quality has decreased a little. Overall a really fairly priced restaurant with many South Indian and Sri Lankan options

One of the worst Tamil food I ever had. Lady s who work there are so rude I can t get my food right. I won t spending money here on oily and garbage food. It s unhealthy there is no good management. Not recommending this place to any one

Nantha Caters is a fantastic Sri Lankan restaurant, and I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience. The food is flavorful and authentic, and the service is friendly. The ambiance is cozy, making it a great spot for a casual meal. While it was a wonderful experience, I reserve the fifth star for truly exceptional cases. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend Nantha Caters to anyone looking for a delicious Sri Lankan culinary adventure.
Used to be a good place for kottu roti! Now the kottu pieces are like rice! 1/5!! Very blank taste!
I have been going to this place for about 7 years. I get their kothu roti 1-2 times a week. Took one star off because when I ask for a custom order they cant seem to get it right. I always ask for light oil- and sometimes they make it to my liking, others time there is extra oil. Also, the service lately has not been the best. The staff are not so friendly anymore. BUT if you like Srilankan food, I would recommend this place.
Delicious food and caring staff.
That was ok okay
Very good
Bad customer service . They are so lazy to give food to customers. They have amazing ( tasty ) egg rotty, but the problem is they don t want to make it for their customers ladies in the front service no intention of selling food. I come to this restaurant from far a way just for egg rotty most of the time they don t want to make it for you they simply say we don t have it Store owner should be addressing this problem. Bad customer service
Amazing food
Delicious
too much price for fish
Good food great food Vegetarian options: Lots of options available for vegetarians like rice and curry special itam on weekends available Dietary restrictions: Please wear the mask Parking: Parking is available for free Kid-friendliness: Lots of options available Wheelchair accessibility: No
Totally disappointed with Nanthas food today. I have been to Nanthas before, and it wasnt this bad. Today, I ordered mutton rolls and a mutton curry meal. Mutton curry is full of fat chunks and so oily. WorstMutton rolls. Prices have gone up, and the food quality drowns the drain. Inflation does not only affect business owners; it also affects customers. Please respect customers and provide quality food and service for their money.
The food is good and the quantity is also good, but the order accuracy and ramification of missing orders are not there. We have asked something and got delivered something and missed one dish which we already paid for. I called and asked for refund and also complained about an uncooked dish, the customer representative told me that she specifically made the item I asked and hand delivered to the person who was going to deliver to my address. She said she would get back to me but it s been a month, I heard nothing. So if you re ordering for a big event, sign a contract
Bad service!! Serve 10 customers at once?? Waste of time, FIRST COME FIRST SERVED is what you need. Roti too old and greasy!!
