Good food, especially biriyany...loved it

They have one of the best chilli chicken Kothu in town. It is made right in front of you and fast as well. Huge quantity for a good price.

Food here is just plain gross

I bought 25 samosas yesterday. Bad smell is coming from all the samosas and all of them got rotten.

The most amazing Chilli Chicken Biriyani I ever had! One large portion is enough for 2 people. Low price for the food makes it more valuable

Best place for Mutton Kothu!! The kothu is so different than any other Tamil restaurants and also their rolls and Pattie s are amazing!! Good place! Must try Indian / Tamil food

I just check the google reviews and I went their, it s worst of worst, they using the old curries I can feel the rotten flavour, not fresh, mutton kothu!!!! I just want to say that is not kothu rotty it s something else

I ordered chilli chicken biryani..... Had the worst. Chicken smelled and the taste was very very bad

The veg biryani served was hot and fresh, which was good. However, it just just flavours of rice mixed with soya and some veggies. It lacked the real biryani flavour.

all through the best food of them all

Good and cheap. I had vada, samosas, and some snacks. Everything was worth the price. Spicy enough for spice lovers like me when I ordered chiken biriyani and mutton koth roti.

Anyone don t buy mutton rolls no salt no mutton insite and koththu best

Excellent food super taste

Great food and excellent value!

Such a great Masala tea we get here.. thorough out my stay in here everyday i had to at least 2 masala teas..Very nice customer service and they even made a customised tea for my wife.. a must visit in case you are looking for a south indian dine in / take away

Potatoes dominate all meat dishes

Excellent service and great tasty food I go here everywhere Food

It was one of the bad customer service I have ever seen

Food is as authentic as it can be. Service is done by busy chef, so sometimes it can be a little bit rushed and less polished in terms of North American customer service standards. The location is a pure Take Out only location and has let time and business wear it down esthetically. This place is a great place for buying authentic Sri Lankan food to go.

Jothu taste dry , they use frozen precut rotti nothing fresh

old food

Nice variety of food offered at reasonable prices.... Ive been back many times. Any lineups move quickly.

Good south Asiyan food.

Been here 3 times and, although I have no clue what I am ordering or eating, its always astonishingly amazing. Trust them when they say try it, its good. We are starting a trend by driving to this place now every weekend...and its about 30 mins away. Not a sit down and eat kinda place but they make a lot of handheld foods for a solid meal on the road. The service is awesome too. Super friendly folks here! Happy to support this small business!

Loved their chilli chicken kothurotti and idiyappam. Their samosa had unique taste.fodd was really good

Ive been going here since the mid 2000s when it was known as Gasa. It has changed ownership at least once since then and is now named Bavu Villas. Ive been consistently ordering chicken biriyani, mutton kothu roti, and the singapore noodles with the occasional short eats thrown in (mutton roll etc). The food tastes pretty much the same as it did back in the mid 2000s which is not a bad thing! Prices have definitely increased since then but it is still great value for the amount of food/carbs you get. One dish can last at least 2 meals easy. Everything is cooked to order on the flat top stove so be prepared to wait if there are people in line...

Very Very bad biriyani.fully colour added. and cold food.poor quality.not recommended for others.

Love love love their food . Catered with them for my daughters first birthday . Tasty and fresh . Will be ordering from them for all my events . The employees there are amazing as well - very kind . Thank you anna for your great catering .

Great Kothu Roti! The meat was minced just right and flavours are great. They have other Sri Lankan food too which I will be returning frequently for.

BEST BEST BEST Try their CHICKEN BIRYANI. They have done a fusion of chicken biryani that is beyond the scales of any taste analysis. It is HIGHLY SPICY, so tread carefully.

I ve had their mutton kothu , and mutton briyani ! I haven t gotten either anywhere else since ! Quality is amazing and on point every single time !

From Montreal, BEST kothu roti I ve ever had !!!

Good cheap food. Pretty spicy briyani though, but the snack type food they sell is pretty mild.

This place is a hidden gem. They have amazing food and the service here is honestly amazing. We order around 50 takeout meals and they did a great job packing it and the food was just so good. I also made a big briyani and noodles order and it amazed all my guest. Anyone who is debating on going here, must try this place.

Amazing food. You can even customize your preference.

Not much choices and very slow service. Will not recommend them.

Their biriyani is terrible. The serving is large but it s soggy and the rice is clumped up together. Absolutely greasy too. I would completely avoid ordering from here. Don t get me wrong, there were a few times it was amazing, but recently it just feels like the quality has plummeted.

Pls be careful when u order deliveries because they just give what they want I got fed with this not ones its been 3 times they keep send me wht they want not wht I oder

We voted it the best Sri Lankan cuisine ever! The rice and chicken is amazing!

Awesome Kothu. Ordered extra egg and curry for my Kothu Man it was soo good

Get the mutton kottu and the chili chicken. Wait time isnt that long considering the food is cooked fresh. Prepare for spice if you cant handle it though you can ask for less chilis. But dont ask for no chilis like we tried to experiment; doesnt taste quite as yummy. I like the owner(s); theyre very friendly.

Best kothu roti

Best kotthu rotti Nice Sri Lankan cousin Owner and employees very nice Keep up your service

Amazing. I ate the best mutton briyani ever. It has a lot of mutton pieces, chicken and egg as well. It was spicy which I really loved it. Me and my brother we ate for dinner and we had left over. The taste is so delicious. Definitely coming back again

Nice chicken wraps

The food tasted amazing. I brought rolls from Bavu for a party. The rolls were gone in a matter of minutes

Went there for mutton koththu. It was not up to the mark. Not spicy like Sri Lankan koththu. And I feel some sweetness in koththu. Good quantity.

Good food , but poor service. The cook is arrogant.

Good food for 20$ feed 3 guys

The person working there has the worst attitude. I ordered biriyani.. the taste was ok, but I felt the meat was old and they have added a lot of food color to the chicken. Please save your money & health than trying food from this unfriendly and unhygienic place. Will never return.

Its okey..

Best kottu roti In town

This place is a hidden gem, where you can get yourself a really good well portioned and made to your preference kothu roti.

Decent and not bad place, but I personally have had better. Theres nothing to disappointing here, its just that it doesnt stand out against many other South Asian places in Toronto

Tried their chicken Briyani, it was very decent one with one big piece of chicken, and alot of chicken crumbs inside it. Chicken piece was soft, was has alot of artificial red colour. Taste was very normal, but the quality was great, enough for two persons. Price was very reasonable $10. Also, tried their fried masala peanuts, which was amazing. Price is $4.

Great food!

Very good traditional Tamil Eelam or South Indian Take out. Wait was between 10-15 minutes but well worth it !!!

There is a bit of a wait even after we call in advance. But the food and service is amazing.

I dont know how else to say it but very Delicious and good portions. Kothu roti has so many spices and flavors youll be blown away. Was recommended by a tamil friend to come here and Its one of the best tasting foods Ive ever had.

My absolute favourite spot for kothu roti! Best food and best customer service

Flavorful and delicious freshly made kothu roti, prices are reasonable, wait times can be lengthy but well worth the wait for the delicious fresh made food

No hygiene at all

Chilly Chicken kottu is very good their chicken biriyani quantity is value for money.

Good friendly service freshly cooked infront of your eyes good value for the money

This place is good. But no varieties of food

Excellent food, legendary service, A1

I ordered a vegetarian kothu roti for take out. I brought it home to discover fake meat. It was too late to call the resturant because they already closed by the time I got home. I dont understand why you dont tell your customers that you are putting fake meat into your food? If I wanted meat I would have ordered one of the meat dishes. Instead I not have to pick out all of the spongy fake meat from your food. I wish I paid by credit card so I could just call my CC company and issue a chargeback.

love this place. the men who work here dont have time to chitchat as theyre always busy cooking up a briyani fresh off the grill. I am foreign to the culture and so dont know what many of the items on the menu, or in the display cases are. However everytime I see something new and go to ask them about their snacks, they are always more than happy to introduce what t h ey are and even share a small sample to try. I end up loving everything and buying a few pieces to go along with my lunches. Hard to find cooks So friendly and hard working (dont have to wait long times even though they are almost always cooking!) at the same time

Best chicken kothu roti!

I will never be coming back here. The service was horrible. We called to place an order and the man who answered was very rude. He answered the phone with what do you want? ....Then when we went to pick up the food, he took almost 2-3 mins to come and serve us even after knocking and there was no one in the store and he was in the back doing something. Such an arrogant and rude man, I think he may have been the owner, but he had that ego about him even while we were talking to him in the store. The food was mediocre as well, but because the service was so bad, that 3 star review I was going to give is now a 1 star. Sorry but not sorry. Dont come here, go to Gasa instead!

Good Kothu Roti. Very delicious and also at a very affordable price for anyone to eat at. Would highly recommend it for anyone to grab a bite

Used to be Gasa but the kothu tastes the same. Great kothu roti

The biriyani tastes exactly like madras palace. Portions are generous. My personal favourite

Decent kothu. Recommend u ask for extra gravy

I bought food from here, and they sold us old food. Waste of money.

Theirs kottu rotti is the best

Try their Lamb patties the best

Chicken kottu spicy. Always fresh and reasonably priced

Great experience! Open kitchen concept and fresh foods. Try the famous Biriyani and other authentic snacks. Highly recommend it

Great food! Delicious! Authentic Sri Lankan food!

The old kothu roti maker is missing ,he know all the customers and do good cooking ,new boss and his cook is slow and need energy, bring back the old cook who used to work evening and he enjoy making food and know customer service

Will keep visiting this place for their perfect medu vadas...

One of the best takeout restaurant in Scarborough. The foods are always fresh and tasty. My favourite and best food that I always get Chicken Noodles, ohh try their Chicken Briyany Amazing also if I m in a rush The best and quick pick mutton rotty .. trust me try ones you will love the food over there

Was a very frustrating experience today. There is no menu or prices. When I asked the owner what combos he had he looked at my like I am stupid. The owner/cook was so rude to me. The owner ignored me and when I asked him what they have since there s no menu he ignored me again for another 15 minutes. I ended up walking out and won t return and waste my time again. Slow, rude and a waste of time!

This is a go to place for me for a reasonable priced biryani. Love their chilli chicken biryani and regular chicken biryani. Its a different type of biryani more like a spicy version of fried rice but it tastes good. Similar to the one you get at Gasa Restaurant. Also the mutton roti and mutton rolls are a must have. Best I tasted so far in Toronto. Customer service is ok-ish.

Their mutton kothu roti is amazing and really good prices

Good place to get fresh mutton rolls.

Kotu Roti is made right infront of you. Very tasty and good.

Food is good! Sadly there isnt much seating space

Really good food, great portions, and fantastic snacks/appetizers. Must try for a quick grub.

Loved the koth porotta

Amazing squid kothu, tried it 3 months ago now its a weekly favorite.

Been coming here since 93..when it was Gasa ..people will agree this is the OG spot for Kothu Roti. mild is spicy and spicy is well ..for the real spice lovers. If you want Authentic Tamil food and the Best Kothu in Town this is the spot. Dont forget to squeeze the lime before eating and it tastes better the next day. A friend told me this.. if its really spicy..add Ketchup lol I either get Chicken or Mutton, this time I got the seafood (shrimp & squid mix)

Best place for kothu rotti and fried rice. The master who makes kothu friendly and deliver what u expect. Another good thing they open until midnight. Try their bbq chicken.

Tasty food and good quantity.

kuttu roti is the signature dish here. They close pretty late so if you are looking for supper then this might one of the places

too over rated or i went on a day when the main chefs where off. Got disappointed

Its cheap South Indian food. But he doesnt put mask or gloves while cooking.

Cheap, delicious, and with large quantities. Definitely worth every penny.

Sri Lankan takeout restaurant famous for its spicy Biryani, noodles and south Indian snacks.

The Chicken Biryani is so good. One order is enough for two meals for me. Great prices too.

Everything they sell here tastes great. Mutton rolls, rice, noodles are all made fresh. The curries are flavourful. Best dish they have is the Chilli Chicken Kothu Roti. Order it and ask for extra gravy and you wont be disappointed. Prices are good as well.

Worth the 30 min drive from north York in rush hour. I got egg kottu roti and Bombay chicken kottu roti. The Bombay chicken is soooooooo spicy!!! I wanted it to be less spicy for my body cannot handle it! I got the fried dough balls and some tandoori chicken too. Omg prices are amazing. I wish my area had a place like this.

Should have more vegetarian options!

Poor service even though the food is good

You get fresh food but they dont use any mask or gloves.

Food is good but they don t wear masks. That s a concern when they re talking to customers and handling your food during a pandemic...

Excellent mutton kothu

okayish biriyani. cheap around this area. although its said to be SriLankan cuisine, i felt like it has a Chinese masala flavour. worth the buck in my opinion

This is nice restaurant for spicy South Asian food with very reasonable price! You must try their food

good

Amazing value, great food

Mutton kothu roti was made perfectly with gravy. Also had the mutton biryani. It comes with lots of mutton and 2 pieces of chicken

Everything I tried was made fresh the chilli chicken briyani is my favourite i order it all the time, the food is delicious and its soo cheap.

They cook deliciously and without delay.

For Vegetarians out there, dont order from this place. I order veg Rice and I got meat in it. Search it on google, you find better restaurant then this. Mofo

Great food

If youre looking for good price and authentic south Indian food. This is the place for takeout food. Absolutely love their Kothu roti !!

This is my first time writing a review online. I went to the store to pick up a mutton briyani and purchased two mango puddings. When I got home I ate one of the mango puddings first. I thought I was eating powdered sugar sprinkled on one of the puddings. But it tasted like fuzzy feathers. I took a closer look at the pudding and learned that there was a white fungus/mold growing on the pudding which looks like powdered sugar. I was extremely upset because of the potential health concerns. I went to the store and requested the man working at the cash register (the one who also got me the mango pudding from the fridge) to give me refund. He looked at the food showed 0 concern not even an apology. He said he can refund my mango pudding but not the briyani. When I asked why he said in a rude tone that there is nothing wrong with the briyani. I told him I cant trust the briyani if my pudding has mold in it. I requested for the 8 dollars. He began to raise his voice and become defensive. I was already upset knowing I had eaten the molded pudding but now Im angry that this person cannot even refund my meal or provide an apology. I told him that i could easily have this escalated and inform people about this or I can accept an apology and wont make it an issue. The person behind the desk chose to shout at me and be defensive. At this point workers from the back came and stood there watching our argument with nobody even attempting to intervene or deescalate the situation. I do not believe in hurting small businesses I support small businesses so I asked him one last time am I going to get my refund or should I escalate this? He screamed and at me and told me to go away. On some days I have paid 7 dollars for a large box of briyani. On some days I am charged 10 dollars for a medium box of briyani. After scrolling through the reviews I realize that I am not the only one who is over charged at this place.

Very low standards for food handling and processing. Got sick.

Really good biryani

My friend introduced me to this place and the friendly people that make this place so welcoming. I am usually not very open to small places like this one, but this changed my opinion completely. Amazing food, clean place, crazy variety for meat lovers and vegetarians. Keep up the good work!

Very good food

Nice vada and good kothu

Great food for the price

good food

Top 5 mutton kothu place in Toronto IMO

Very good food and excellent service

Place is clean and nice . We bought Kottu roti and some snacks . Snacks was cold.Kottu is not tasty . Not satisfied.

This place checks all boxes. Taste 5 * Quantity 5* Price 5* Convenient location. Tried their veg Biryani today. Couldnt believe the quantity. The taste was really good as well especially if you are into spicy food. Will definitely visit again to try more food items.

Great tasting chicken biriyani

They catered a friends birthday party and the food was amazing! I picked the food up from them and it was delicious. Prices are more than reasonable!

Never get order right always have to check your food and taste it because they make mistakes and go back in to have them fix it waste ur time to get order right disgusting customer service

I come here often for their kothu roti. I usually get the mutton kothu roti or chicken kothu. I love how they make the kothu roti fresh right in front of you. I find that all of their food that I have had so far has been fresh, I really value that idea about restaurants and this was one definitely does it. The owner is really polite, friendly, and takes care of returning customers. I would highly recommend their food, especially their kothu roti. Their other dishes are probably just as delicious and fresh. On top of their freshness, their prices on their dishes are a steal. Great spot for quick grabs for work lunches. Portion sizes are extremely large as well, you will not be disappointed.

Good food#spicy#chilling
