7595 Markham Rd Unit 3, Markham, ON L3S 0B6, Canada
Delicious kottu roti and dosa's here. Got me stuffed for under $20. South Asian food is good for that.
Came here to try the mutton roll, and it was delicious. Will go back and try other items and redo the review accordingly. Clean restaurant and excellent customer service.
The seafood curries are amazing at this place. We tried the crab, shrimp, squid and fish curries in the banana leaf set. Perfectly balanced and the portions are huge, plenty for two to share. Definitely one of the must go places to get good seafood curries.
Appa’s original doesn’t disappoint. It’s such a nice place to take your Tamil and non-Tamil friends and family. The fusion dishes are so unique and definitely recommended for everyone to try. Their Kothu roti are pretty good and they have a different one on special each weekday. Today we sat in and ate and had the mutton peppercorn penne pasta and it was amazing. Probably one of my favourite things I’ve ever tried there so far. Please try this at least once! We also tried the mutton pepper noodles and it was good, mutton was nice and tender and the noodles were pretty flavourful, however just a word of warning, it can be spicy for those of you with a lower spice tolerance. My recommendation is if you get it, be prepared to eat it with a mango lassi or a sherbet. The pop isn’t going to help you non spicy eaters, it’ll just spread the spice! There’s many other options if you can’t tolerate spice though. I personally love spice so the spicier the better. Definitely give it a try if you haven’t for either take out or dine-in. My dad always loves it when I bring it home for him because it’s not like the usual Tamil places, it’s unique. Also on top of that, service is amazing, they’re very friendly there, including the original Appa!
The butter chicken kothu roti (not hot for those who cant handle 🌶️🌶️ too much) and the egg kothu roti were both delicious. The portion was quite generous and very filling. Really enjoyed the masala tea and the mango lassi as well. Good seating options and the server/owner was friendly and helpful. Lots of parking spots in the complex. Definitely recommend!
This is our first time trying their food. My expectations were extremely high by looking at pictures on IG and etc. I was expecting better taste. It was a catering order, packaging was great but food tasted just ok. I did not like the noodles. It was dry and bland. I have to say I only tried their mutton Kuthu, Chicken Kothu & Noodles. I will give 3/5. Their food looks so good in pictures. Definitely can be better. If I am in Markham again I will try other dishes.
Walked passed this place and decided to give it a try as the menu looked really good. We ordered the hot butter chicken fried rice but it really wasn't what we thought it would be, it was just a regular fried rice, bit of a disappointment. We also ordered the jaffnar wings...to me nothing special but hubby really liked it. The service was a bit slow as there was only 1 girl working the front for take out orders, answering the phone and serving the seated customers. She was friendly and polite though. Would we return, probably not.
A small clean establishment with friendly staff. We went for an early dinner and ordered the Banana Leaf Seafood Feast and it was a good portion for 2 of us. Photos showed how the seafood and rice were wrapped up on a banana leaf. The crab was disappointing as it was more shell and hardly any flesh and according to the server we can request to omit certain ingredients. Overall the dish was tasty and unfortunately we could not try other dishes with just the two of us dining. We will have to try other dishes the next time we visit. The menu with the prices was effective as of April 2023.
My go to place for good Sri Lankan food
Stopped by since I was in the area and ordered takeout. The food was really well priced and we even got some free appetizers while waiting for the food. We were shocked by how good the food was when we got home. Highly recommend ordering from here.
I am a customer for the past 12 months. Their food is always Freshly made, Consistent Quality and Tasty. Appas food is worth the drive. Just order online and pickup. The portion is enough for 3 adult persons. He deserves a try. The location has been renamed Spice of Jaffna. Same food as Appas Original.
I recently ordered takeout while on a diet and was thrilled to find they offered keto kothu. It was a delightful surprise flavorful and satisfying, perfect for anyone watching their carb intake. The chicken dishes are also exceptional, with the pepper chicken and chili chicken standing out as personal favorites. And dont miss out on the Malabar mutton rotti its a must-try!
I got a seafood parcel and the food quality was very bad and they only put one piece of shrimp and crab I used to get this parcel before and they used to load it up but now it s gotten way worse don t recommend
Found this place randomly from Google map (resturant near me) to grab some takeout for my Son and I. We ordered the Butter Chicken Lunchbox, Chicken Tuscan Penne, and the Malabar Roti (mutton). Portions were generous, price was very reasonable, plus the taste was amazing. What a pleasant surprise, will definitely revisit!!!
I ordered Lamprais .it was very good the food is very hot delicious tasting the staff are very friendly the place was very clean I recommend going there for lunch or dinner .Lamprais , Kothu are amazing
The food is SO good here, and reasonably priced! The chicken kothu was delicious, and so were their apps! They even have some fusion dishes that I havent tried yet, but Im looking forward to doing so!
Delicious food and amazing kothu roti, absolute 10/10. Ordered the chicken and mutton kothu, and both came with plenty of protein
Great food at TYOs Volleyball Tournament!
Amazing food and service, did not disappoint!
It was our first time here. We were in the area and stopped in. We ordered the kutti roti, biryani, mutton rolls, fish cutlets, and fries. The portions were big. What was unique was that the rice was wrapped in a big leaf. The fries were good. We were not a fan of the jerk chicken rolls.
Very delicious dosa
Consistently great food, whether youre having kothu roti, biryani or appams.
I recently ordered a chicken kothu rotti. I asked the person that I want a spicy one. Conclusion was a devil chicken kothu. I repeatedly requested make it very spicy. I was given the assurance of it will be spicy. THIS DEVIL KOTHU I GOT WAS NOT SPICY RATHER IT WAS SWEET!!!! May someone made a mistake sugar for salt !!!
Great chicken biriyani and chicken devil kotthu, deserves more stars
Delicious food, truly a taste of home. Highly recommend their banana leaf lumprais dishes - big thanks for giving Toronto the opportunity to enjoy these authentic dishes. To many more years of amazing food!
The food and service was excellent
Great Mac and Cheese Mutton Roti! guilty pleasures
The food was delicious and portions were very generous. The service was great we only had to wait for around 15-17 minutes for the food and the customer service was really good. I would recommend this to everyone who likes good sri lankan food.
My go to place for kothu in Markham Huge portions and friendly staff They don t cheap out on the meat and quality is always great Highly recommend Food : 5/5 |
Pretty average Kottu rotis, both chicken and mutton. Biryani was way below average....I have had better sri lankan food around Scarborough....this was surely a let down. Service was quick Atmosphere was decent and clean. Owner was helpful.
Been a fan of their food but the most recent purchase was a disappointment. Ordered a chicken Kothu Roti and a Banana Leaf Mutton Biryani. The chicken Kothu tasted really weird with a burnt taste to it and had no flavour or any pieces of chicken to it. The Biryani itself was slightly better but there was barely any Mutton in it! Also the accompanying sides were minimal and seemed so cheap in terms of portion. This will unfortunately be the last time I order from here given the portion and quality.
I have been going to this restaurant for about 2 years now. When they first opened up the food was amazing portions were fair vs the price. After a few months I went back today and got a Chicken Biryani on a banana leaf (which is usually loaded and tastes great). Man oh man was I disappointed with my order this time missing many components of the Chicken Biryani, the rice was dry with little to no gravy and no fish cutlet. I ordered an extra tandoori chicken leg and they reduced the portioning of the rice to add that into my banana leaf and they made the smallest chicken drumstick they could find (I paid $3). Lets not talk about the egg it was tiny (half the size of a regular egg). Overall very disappointed and its sad because I really did enjoy the food when it was good. Now this restaurant is overcharging and cutting corners the quality and authenticity is now dead. **NOT RECOMMENDED**
VERY VERY good food i think it s one person job so expect to wait a while but it s so worth it calamari so good noodles amazing
After hearing about Appas Original Kitchen from relatives, Im trying out the food for the first time. I ordered a Veggie Lunch box for $5.99, Banana Leaf Seafood Feast for $19.99 and Banana leaf baked Malabar roti with Mutton for $9.99. The food was very tasty. I liked the banana leaf-baked Malabar roti very much. It was not too spicy too.

Their biryani upset my stomach for 2 days straight. Watch out for Jaffna spices (straight chilli). If your stomach cant handle it, youre better off eating elsewhere.
The Mutton Kothu Roti is a must. Perfect spice level very flavourful. We also got the paneer kothu roti at spicy level and Chicken Biryani weekend special but it couldve used more flavor. We got take out. Service : 5/5
Recommend the cheesy mutton rolls. Its such a unique twist on the traditional mutton roll and elevates the flavour.
A hidden gem for authentic Tamil cuisine! Their impressive variety maintains consistently high quality. What sets them apart is the seamless fusion of flavors that just works. Whether you re dining with family or friends, this spot offers meals that cater to everyone s taste buds.
I drove from Brantford for this place. I make sure to stop here every time Im out in the area. The food and service is fantastic.
The lamprais was really good. It had all. Chicken, mutton, fish, anchovies, egg and enough for 2.
We always love your kottu roti, today mutton kottu was terrible, didnt kottu at all, just mixed curry and roti, all big big pieces of roti, please bring back your quality, very sad to see this best kottu roti place going down with its quality
Delicious food.
Most of the menu was not available. Had a vegetarian lunch. About 50 cents worth of the cheapest vegetable curry dal, beets and like three cubes of eggplant. Mostly rice. Not great. Food
UPDATED AFTER ONWER REPLIED Terrible food. They need to do better. Nothing original nor any passion for their food. Very disappointed, very shocked with all the 5 star reviews! *update*: I am pleasantly surprised the owner replied. PASSION STILL THERE THEN! i will change my review once the food tastes better and there is structure in place for dining and takeout. What I would love to see is Appas becoming the first Tamil Franchise!!! 1. Make sure all your rolls and anything else is 100% Fresh - max 30 mins sitting time 2. Kothu has to be more flavourful, it was just too dry 3. Get creative and make a unique item thats exclusive for Appas only! Good Luck and PLAN PLAN PLAN!
My boy had your chicken 65 poutine and got food posing, up the whole day till 4 am throwing up disgraceful
***NOT HALAL*** Please remove the halal food sign and make it clear that alcohol is served within the restaurant. It is impermissible for a muslim to eat from an establishment that serves alcohol. Muslims that are not as devoted will obviously still eat here. However, it would be considered false advertising to those who follow the rules. Thus make it clear in your signage, your menu, and your website that alcohol is served here. If that is made clear it is up the person to decide if they would continue to eat from your establishment.
Great lunch options!
I got mutton kothu as we heard great reviews about Appa s but it was the most saltiest dish I ve ever tasted. I ve previously tried 2 different vege dishes from them and it was quite underwhelming and lacked flavor and was so dry. Can safely say after 2-3 solid tries I will not be going back.
Some of the best kothu roti Ive ever had! Authentic taste and very flavourful!
Best Kothu in GTA!
We ordered 4 types of kothu, we had them to go & the food tasted great & fresh when we got home 40 mins later. The veggie kothu was decent, but the jerk & pulowees were exceptional. Loved the sea food kothu here as well which came with generous portions of crab, shrimp & squid. The owner was very friendly & you can tell they do not cheap out on the ingredients. Everything was flavoured very differently & were true to their names. They were very large portions & we ll def be returning for more. The spicy level was extremely spicy as we asked for spicy, we loved it but just be aware that when you ask for spicy, you get spicy! Can t wait to try their lamprais next.
I bought two lumprise (banana leaf wrapped )from this place yesterday, chicken and mutton. The food was horrible and we ended up with stomach cramps. I believe cutlets were fired at least three times, they were so dark - black. The boiled eggs were blue. They had anchovies, which were fired beyond eating. The eggplant curry was too old. I will not recommend this place to anyone. If you are doing takeout open the container in front of them for them to see what they are serving for their customers.
I ordered the mutton biryani lunch special for about $11. It came with a small salad and a pop. The mutton biryani was packed. The amount of food could be eaten for 2 meals. There was a good amount of mutton, wished there were a bit more mixed into the rice. Overall the meal was delicious. Id definitely come back and try the other lunch specials.
Tried the crab curry with Roti and egg hoppers. All tasted really good
Excellent service. We placed an order for a small party. Start to end they provided the best service. Order was taken by Emil who was extremely courteous and professional. He went above and beyond to accommodate our order. Ruban handled the payment and he was also very friendly and courteous. When we went to pick up the order, Emil was on duty and he welcomed us with a big smile. Our order was ready to pick up on time. Since we were very concern about the spice level, Emil gave us free sample so that we will know the taste and the spice level. Very good customer service. I would highly recommend this place to my friends and family.
Healthy meal options delicious food with a great service!
Ordered a spicy paneer kothu and some devil chicken cheese rolls. The rolls were very good but the kothu roti wasnt spicy and didnt have much curry in it. Kind of flavourless. They put a good amount of paneer in it though.
The veggie Kothu was delicious! Will definitely try out their meat options next time!
The food is fine and the portion sizes are huge but the bill automatically added 13% of gratuity (party of 5) which was written in tiny font. When I went to pay the bill at the counter, the system asked me to pay an additioanl tip. Unknowning to the fact that the system already adds the tip, I paid more. Our server didnt say anything who was standing right next to me, which made this feel even worse. Really dissappointed by this experience.
Food for comfort for the past 2 years just gets better and better 6/6 Vegetarian options: Vegan options
One of the best place to dine. I am a college student and the lunch box here is cheap and tasty which helped me a lot. Do the dine and eat your stomach full. It feels like home.
My first time trying Sri Lankan food - and wow I was not prepared for how spicy it was! The Mutton Kottu was rich and very well-seasoned. For $14, it is a great price for a generous portion.
Placed an order at the store for a take out. Upon arrival I received the wrong order and the food was cold. I tried to call but no answer.
Very nice staff and delicious food! One of the best dishes I had in a while. Will visit regularly! Thank you!
I ordered the jerk chicken rolls, and chicken devil cheese rolls for my work Christmas party. Every one absolutely loved it. Ruban was extra helpful cause i needed this done at 10:30 am and he did that for me right on time. I will be back for more thank you.
We ordered two kottu rotti and 2 plain rotti. Very disappointed that the rotti were so dry like old. I never eat a kothu rotti like this. I bought the plain rotti for my kid and dry and old. I called and they said it never happened like it but will it going to make it right??
This food is some of the best in the GTA. Spicy means SPICY here
This is our first time trying appas kitchen and they didnt dissapointed me, I woud definetly come back for dine in. We ordered mac n cheese mutton kothu, regular mutton roll , cheesy halapeno mutton roll, vadai and watilapam. Their watipam dissapointes me, but not the rest of the food. Very tender, juicy and flavourful mutton which is much better than the scarborough restaurents. Looking forward to visit them again for to try the other options from the menu **** Please ask for a takeout menu which the food is cheaper than the dine-in*****
Excellent food and service!
Amazing food, really have to try mutton Mac & cheese kothu!
We ordered the mutton fry after the chef recommended it. 10/10 loved it! My dad who loves spicy food thoroughly enjoyed it. Strong flavor and spicy, we will come again!
Love love love! The lamprais was too good, so flavourful and the banana was a bone touch.
Gladly I had goood Sri Lankan kottu yesterday. Food was soo delicious. We ordered two chicken kottu, one mutton kottu and one cheese kottu. Everything was so tasty and the customer service was amazing. Place is clean. I don t have goood pictures to post since we were soo hungry but I do have two images. Inviting all Sri Lankan folks to visit this restaurant for good and tasty Sri Lankan food.
amazing food! had the lamprais, cuttlefish and mutton pepper fry and everything was delicious!
We enjoyed the friendliness of the staff. Absolutely amazing customer service. We were always checked up on and the food was incredible! We will be going to this spot again to enjoy the authentic flavors. Fairly priced as we ordered drinks, food and a ton a delicious desserts. Do not skip out on the desserts! Parking: Lots of parking.
There chicken kothu is absolutely amazing!! Must have again!! 10/10
Amazing Kothu and awesome customer service!!!
Amazing food and excellent customer service. Staff were very friendly and outgoing!!
Amazing food, highly recommend
This restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and modern. I ordered a cauliflower devil, a vegetable spring roll and a vegetarian feast that resembles lumprais a little. It has very good value for money and the tastes were distinct and flavourful. The vegetable feast dish has a variety of subtle tastes which complimented the appetizer s strong, contrasted flavour. I recommend this restaurant as it s a nice introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine.
They serviced us for our uni event, and the kothuroti was amazing! Definitely recommend for both large parties and take out! Vegetarian options: Veggie Kothu was great! Kid-friendliness: Serviced students very well! Accommodating
Their food used to be amazing. All of us a huge fan of their mutton malabar roti and mutton lumprais. The last few weeks the lamprais was a big flop not one but, three every time. When I complained, the gentleman who spoke with me on the phone became very defensive. Specially when I told him that the first time I did not ask for a compensation, this time I need to be compensated. I dont think I will continue buying food from this store. Absolute waste of money.
i ve been going here since they opened and the food has always been great, they been adding new items and omg it s so good please do try
I wanted something low carb and appas did it, the keto kothu is really good highly recommend
Yesterday We Went There tried different kothus at the same time its very delicious highly recommended to go and they need more space for dining area .. they said that s all halal meat .. i like the restaurant
I ordered devil chicken cheese dosa, mutton supreme cheese fries and seafood banana leaf special. I had so much expectation because my friend suggested it s really good. But the chicken was not fresh and was really bad and spoiled the taste of dosa, mutton cheese fries was okay and seafood banana special was also not that great. It was average experience.
I dont write reviews usually. But this restaurants food full of oil oil oil with worse taste ever. I bought rice and curry. Paid 25 dollar Absolutely garbage. If there is option I il give zero star.
Great taste
Food is delicious, drinks may not be the best, but theyre not bad. Highly, highly recommend this place for Sri Lankan and South Indian ethnic foods!
Very horrible restaurant. Ive never tasted food as bad as this ever. The tables and chairs were also wobbling a lot, and the chicken wings were stale and hard to bite into. I would never recommend this restaurant, it will be a waste of your money.
The Kothurotti (Mutton pepper)was very tasty The Pepper Mutton roll (cheese). Will go there again. Hospitality also good.
The non-veg dishes was ultimate.. one of the best mutton rolls in the town. (5 star for the non-veg) Unfortunately the veg food I will give only one star.. paneer kottu and vegetable kottu is big no no... Vegetarian options: Big no no...
I went to get mutton Kottu yesterday worst Kottu I ever had in my life!!! It s tasted like took the Rotti and mixed in the gravy and added mutton curry that cooked for few weeks ago. No chilies, no curry leaves, the Rotti also tasted old. Come on people you are charging lot more now what can t you make quality for the customers. Never go again!! It s not the first time it s happened. Worst place to go!!!
Food was very tasty and the presentation was magnificent. The service level was fantastic as well!! The best place in GTA for Sri Lankan Food Dine in.
so good !! cant wait to eat here in person
I ve been getting food at this place for a couple of years and they ve just been going down hill! Yesterday I purchased a mutton Kothu (spicy with a fried egg) and it was paid for online. The girl at the front double charged my husband for the extra egg because she assumed the egg charge didn t go through. She didn t bother to check either until I called to inquire about it after the fact for double charging me! Now back to the food . So to make the Kothu spicy they chopped up an overwhelming amount of dried red chillies!!! Every bite of that Kothu had a horrible taste to it. I understand they are generous with the mutton but it s to the point where there is more mutton than there is roti What a waste of $18!! Never giving this place another chance! Highly disappointed!!
Kottu was good when they started their business now soooo bad
I walked in here. I was intrigued and ordered the mutton supreme fries Belly boggled overdriven extragalactic I mean just simply genius that I m sure Gordon Ramsey would have been impressed. But it doesn t stop there . Today I walked in again (hungry!) I saw outside advertised cheese kothu (pilawoos style) and I thought that s a BOLD Statement to make! I should have taken a picture but it would be me giving a spoiler because a picture can t justify how spectacular this cheese kothu was from the presentation to the taste 6/6 I think for about 20 mins I forgot I was in Markham and I was on Galle Road at 2 am that s how sensational this cheese kothu was! I have a feeling the mutton biryani which I m keeping last to try will push me past cloud 9 Had to take some of it home and usually I m dopey at the end of the night and I forget to bring in the takeout box but I couldn t forget my sensational lunch so as I pulled up in my driveway .I did forget my takeout in the car however as soon as I lay in my bed I remembered and I ran out to rescue the last of my cheese kothu I have to say this There are people that don t believe in reheating food I ate my cheese kothu cold I loved it even more :D The gooey cheese texture was still there and the taste was some how ever better and it made 1 am in Stouffville such a delight while I watch my climaxing Tv show Power! Thank you Akka :) you will see me often! 6/6
Great food
Friendly customer service and beautiful atmosphere! Pineapple fluff and watalappan cheesecake were a unique take with classic flavors. Banana leaf seafood feast was great for 2 people, filled with crab, fish fry, cutlet, eggplant curry, egg and plenty of rice!
Best srilankan food, I had so far in GTA as so far. Customer service is also good and the food is best .
Food was pretty good based on Sri Lankan/trail cuisine. They had a lot of flavour and food was prepared fresh. They even have a wide variety of alcoholic beverages and are a halal restaurant. Vegetarian options: A lot of veggitarian options Dietary restrictions: Halal, keto, pescatarian and non veg options
When they first opened, the food was amazing. The service was good. Now ......,Very disappointed.
Banana Leaf Baked Malabar mutton roti was so dry, it was hard to swallow. They should be giving gravy on the side at least. The SriLankan Lamprais was a huge disappointment for the insane price of $22. Everything was so dry, and tasted bland. Portions are so small compared to the price. I came here based on the reviews, and it certainly is my last time.
Hands down the best kothu in town. We tried the chicken devil kothu. Their lamprais/ biriyanis are also amazing. Can make anyones day!
Very good Price Love the food!!!
Best basil chicken fried rice
Try the lamprais, it s delicious!
Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options Kid-friendliness: Pappa s kichen style Mac and Cheese, was great
Amazing service. Amazing food. Flavourful, spicy and great presentation. Had the Sri Lankan Lamprais, Seafood Feast and Mutton Pepper Fry kothu. Will definitely make the trip back here.
Best food we had in a while!! Great and fast service Ordered lumprais, onion and fries and mutton kothu. Great portion size as well!
Had to wait about 15-20 minutes but food was fresh and hot. Flavourful, delicious and good portions for the price. FYI the food can get spicy so be aware and go with mild if you can t handle spice, the food has a nice kick to it. The guy at the front was very friendly. I got the chicken devil roti and would definitely come back to try other dishes. I recommend this spot for sure
Food was very good
Small restaurant with a neat environment . My Kids enjoyed the food and place. We ordered falooda, devil chicken dosa and chicken friedrice , Quality and quantity is best for the price.
If you re going to do a take on popular food items from this city you have to make them taste better.. I found the chilli onion fries tasted odd and had too much unevenly cut onions. I do like they give the option of breaded or naked wings however the wings are very dry I almost was tugging on the bone even though it was overloaded with sauce, kind of a turn off. The Mac & cheese mutton roll was the best thing I tried they seemed to put real mozzarella in it but I wouldn t go back for them. Confused kitchen & Wow wings got it on lock lol. What s bad to me might be good to you though so give it a try, staff is so polite.
I recently dined at Appas Original and had an outstanding experience. The menu offered a wide variety of flavorful dishes prepared with great attention to detail. The service was impeccable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. The restaurant had a beautiful ambiance that enhanced the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend this restaurant for a remarkable culinary journey filled with authentic flavors and warm hospitality.
The food at this restaurant is delicious, with a slightly spicy flavor. They offer a variety of Sri Lankan dishes, including the popular Kothu. Recently, they relocated to a new venue that now includes a seating area for dining. However, I was surprised to discover that despite the food being halal, they also serve alcohol in the restaurant. Personally, I cannot recommend this restaurant due to their inclusion of alcohol. Many restaurants offer halal options to attract Muslim customers, but they may not realize that practicing Muslims are not permitted to purchase anything from establishments that serve or sell alcohol. Therefore, the halal certification loses its significance in such cases. I hope they consider removing alcohol from their menu if they genuinely want to cater to Muslim customers.
This is a good place. The food is good and is served well. We ordered the mutton and veggie biryani, it came in a clay pot and it smelled heaven. Food is piping hot and tasty.
One of the best lumprice in town guys. Great personable service. Must try for every sri lankan out there.
Their food use to be good, when they had their previous place, now they opened 2 nd store, now the food quality, taste going down
I finally appreciate the phrase cooked with love after ordering the mutton kothu and lumprais from here. The lack of care and disdain for the customer, heritage, history and food preparation is abundantly evident here. I didn t think you could remove flavour from Sri Lankan food, but they have achieved the unthinkable here. Appa s career shift isn t working, he should go back to whatever he was doing previously, clearly cooking isn t his strong suit. P.S. to the social media person behind this account, please don t reply with a meaningless message.
Food quality is getting worse here.
I just love the food here, period! Huge fan of their Mutton Rolls and Kothu Roti. Must try out if you are looking for some lip smacking spicy Sri Lankan food.
Had dinner with my family. Ordered chicken feast , Chicken biriyani, mutton pepper fry kottu. We had a wonderful food experience and staff was so nice!
Good lamprais
Food has large portion . I think two people will be satisfied sharing a banana leaf meal . We ordered Dosa and mutton rolls which were delicious . All the food was so delicious we kept eating even though we are full because we kept wanting more of the flavor .
Nice hidden gem in Scarborough. The food is reasonably priced and quite delicious. The mutton roti was very tasty and spicy! Vegetarian options: A plethora of vegetarian options. Parking: Busy plaza, however, free parking spaces can be found. Kid-friendliness: Small booths can accommodate families with kids.
We ordered take out of kothu rotis. Both chicken and mutton kothu rotis are tasty. Quantity is really good, you will have leftovers for the next day. Will go back again.
Best place for Sri Lankan and South Indian food. Gotta lamb rice. It was delicious. Service was good.
Not the same food !! use to buy leaf lunch Not anymore, last 2 visits disappointed quality of the food taste plain quantity reduced over priced $22.50 plus charging 1.50 visa fees. Overall $24 leaf lunch not satisfied no repeat, Food
I think I went to the wrong restaurant after reading all this review food was bad. Blazing hot spicy .... but no taste at all .....
We ordered a Seafood lamprais late in the evening, the attendant advised that they didnt have a certain curry for that evening. Upon receiving our order we noticed that the restaurant gave us extra fried fish, extra shrimp, and extra cutlets. We were impressed with the quality of the food and the taste. We have always loved the service that your entire team provides. Thank you, Appas Original Kitchen Team
Did take out. Kothu was nice and fresh
I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. Some of the best sri lankan food I have ever had. There was a little confusion with my order when I went to pick up but the staff were friendly and cleared it up right away. The food is flavourful and most of all it is spicy. Nice and spicy. Please dont change your recipe to cater to the white and Indian folks in Canada. Please stay authentic like you are and dont change! 5 stars
Came here for the first with my friends. And honestly I am so proud and happy that there is such amazing restaurant as such in this city. The food was amazing and the price is worth the portion size. Very tasty and well served in banana leaf. So tasty and traditional. All blessings to the team. Well maintained and clean atmosphere. 100% recommend this amazing place to all.
Maybe I don t understand the food but it s simply too spicy for me waitress girl is nice and friendly
The portions were good and the price was quite reasonable by todays standards. The food does come out spicy but was very tasty. Im sure you could tell the server to have the chefs tone it down a bit. Then again, this food is meant to come out spicy!
Best kothu roti! Still need to try some other stuff, will do eventually, but kothu game is very strong, a must try in a competitive area.
The Mutton Kothu roti was so blend and had no salt at all. Only a few onions and mutton pieces were put on top. Very disappointing for the price. Mutton rolls and fish cutlets had no taste at all and Mutton rolls didnt even have Mutton obly potatoes.
Some of the best Indian food we ve had in Canada after being here for 12 years. Portion sizes are outstanding, service is great and the flavour is authentic. Truly a hidden gem.
Taste is good
Absolutely delicious!! Love the food and service!! Definitely returning soon!!!
Big portions and very reasonably priced. Clean and friendly.
The service was great. The server was so kind and attentive. The food was delicious as well, my first Tamil food experience and it was a hit!
Very disappointed. With food.
Food was amazing. Prices are reasonable. Vegetarian options: Vegtiran dishes on the menu Parking: Close to the restaurant.
This is a Must try for authentic Srilankan food. The service is just awesome. They care about the quality of food and the customers satisfaction. The food is delicious!! Ordered mutton and chicken banana leaf special. tasted amazing. Will definitely recommend it to family and friends.
Fav veg roll I Tried Malabar Rotti And mutton Kothu Gravy.. Wow it was really yummy and Taste good... Im addicted to it.. Appas Food : 5/5
Today, I happened to be at Appas Original Kitchen again. We ordered Appas Original Style Biriyani, Penne Pasta, and Kids Chicken Wings and fries. These were absolutely delicious and were exactly what we looking for. Loved the quality and portion. Value for Money!!
Seafood devil and Hot Butter Cuttlefish was excellent. Amazing bites. Recommended dishes
Best Sri lankan food ever. The food and customer service was perfect. I ordered Mac and cheese kothu, chilli fries, and lamprais. The food had lots of taste and the portions are perfect. Definitely recommend coming here.
Food is very tasty, pricing is very reasonable. The biryani, kotthu, devil chicken and masala dosa were all excellent.
Kid-friendliness: They dont have items that are listed in delivery. They want us to cancel our orders. Because of this reason we got charged by uber. The way they talk is very rude Food
First time here. The food, price and portion size were all great. Person the counter was very helpful. Highly recommend.
Got the malabar mutton roti and veg kothu and both tasted amazing. The guy at the counter was helpful. Definitely worth the visit.
I have been going to appas for long time but the lately noticed that quality of food has gone downhill. When i go on weekdays food is not fresh at all and as i have tasted them before i can definitely tell taste & quality has changed. The mutton kothu roti is always good but lately that too has changed. Ordered their special mutton briyani yesterday it taste stale. I thought i will get atleast fresh food on weekends hence not the case. My brother ordered devil chicken kothu last week and he got food poisioning from it. I ordered cuttle fish last week and it was just soaked in oil, slimy & disgusting. I feel sorry to leave bad review as appas used to my favorite restaurant but i have noticed it is not what it used to be once they moved the unit and also serving old food should be a big no. I do see already that lot of the negative reviews are about being served old food so it has been like this. It doesnt take too long for people to find better restaurants. Hope management looks in to this and kindly dont ask me to call or email as im not looking for compensation or discount. Just fix the issue. Thx
This was the best Sri lankan restaurant I have ever been to. The food was amazing we got dosa and chicken wing we were a family of 4. The only thing that was off was the atmosphere , you could see the top ad all the pipes and does stuff it was disturbing to me and my family that was the only problem. Vegetarian options: Another of vegetarian options
The butter chicken was flawless ! A must try ! Appas is the best spot for non veg lovers ! Will visit again !
Food is delicious. The mutton roll is one of the best I ve had, with generous amounts of meat to crepe ratio. The chicken fried rice we got is perfect with its spicyness and flavour. Worth the money.
Great food and great service. My favorite is there BANANA LEAF BAKED MALABAR ROTI, so tasty and plenty of Mutton curry. Also there mutton kothu roti tastes great! Must try!
The food was sooo good and the best masala tea I ve had ever! The lady who works there was so friendly. A lovely restaurant, I will definitely return.
The foods quality and taste getting worse day by day.
Perfect South Indian foods
Got the mutton biryani, veggie & mutton rolls...it was so good I had to go back for seconds, cuz my siblings were EATING IT ALL!...anyways, im glad i chose Appass when tasting Sri Lankan food for the first time. It was straight
I yesterday about a veggie Biryani rice is not cooked the vegetables nothing over there. I dont know what kind of food they service make sure when they serve it has to be a good and well prepared. They charge you 12 $11. And what did they give it?
Tried Halal Srilankan food for the first time. Really delicious. My personal favourite was Pepper Chicken Noodles.
Friendly service, clean place, and delicious masala dosa! Loved the presentation of their dishes Food : 5/5
Worst biriyani ever had in my life
I just ordered 8 chicken biryani luch box. It was awful & worst biriyani I ever had. The food was lacking salt and even the chicken had no flavour or taste. I dont recommend this place.
Apps not suppose to cook. Jokd
I live in Milton so I had my mom pick up this order on her way here. I ordered the seafood feast. Brought it home to see the portion size was so small for the $$$ paid. Loaded with rice and little curry. Only found one shrimp no squid curry and no chili paste. Very disappointing when you were looking forward to this.
Firstly, there is no dine-in option. We ordered and then tail-gated outside. Appas Original Kitchen is a small family-owned hole-in-the-wall with food made to order. The mutton lamprais was delectable, and so was the seefood kottu. The desserts (we tried 3 different ones) were all great -- the coconut, chocolate and the cheescake. The portion sizes were humongous. The lamprais could have easily fed 3, while the pottu was good enough for 2. Needless to say we had yummy leftovers!
So tasty mutton pepper fry kottu #srilankan #delicious #kottu
This place has delicious food and is very generous with quantity. I have tried kothu chicken paratha a few times and its been consistently good. The staff is nice to deal with. I also bought their hot sauce and would highly recommend it if you are a fan of the really hot sauces.
I had chicken biryani, mutton kothu and does. Everything tasted top-notch. Chutney and sambar yummy.. Biryani good amount with many chicken pieces and leg pieces.
It was good for the price but not for Pakistans
Amazing food and customer service
