First malayali food truck I ever got to try in Toronto. The food is delicious and their service is a 10/10, the person who served us supposedly one of owner came to ask us about the food and informed they are closing down for winter next month. We went there late night, the entire place was lit up and spent couple of hours chilling with food and friends. - Kanthari Alfam (Chicken marinated in birds eye chilli served with Naan & mayonnaise) -Green Mango Kuluki (Raw mango drink) Chicken was juicy, tender and well marinated. Their mayonnaise is something which resembles the one we get in Kerala restaurants. So if you are missing the yummy Alfam’s from Kerala, drag your friends to this place. The green mango kuluki wasn’t up to the expectation cause the drink didn’t have much of a green mango flavour, though it some mango crumps at the bottom. Ambience 10/10 Service 10/10 Food 9/10

Food was awesome! Tried their Kaanthari Alfam, pazhampori n beef ularth, mulak bajji and ilaneer palooda. Everything tastes good. Beef ularth had some extra flavour which I personally didn’t like. But when it goes with pazhampori that tastes ok. Bajji is lil spicy comes with 2 big mulak and spicy chatny for $3.50. Alfam is also good though its not that spicy. Palooda is a great combo of palada, ilaneer and icecream. Its a super combo which is lil pricey and quantity is small. Samovar chaaya is just an ordinary tea couldn’t find any specialty. I don’t recommend it, if you are looking for some special tea. Customer service was great. I was able to find young, energetic and great teamwork among the crew! Price could have been better. Overall good experience. Keep going guys!

There is a reason why these people stand out from rest of the Kerala restaurants in Scarborough. The menu is fascinating. Kanthari Chicken and Banago are must try. Great ambiance in the evenings.

On a sunny day morning i decided to travel to scarborough town center to wander around and find something interesting to put on my review book. Finally after not much of a finding and with some help of local guides and friends i found. Oru pazampori , A new place that i visited few months back , As per a recomendation i recieved from other local guides and friends. There was a huge line of people crowded here to get a bite of their specials. One of the interesting deserts on their menu was the coconut based icecream. Something that i enjoyed very much. There is not only lite dining but also heavy dining options as they also serve lunch and dinner. They also have other interesting items on their menu. Highly Recomending this to everyone out there who would like to get some south indian ( kerala ) food, bites and drinks. Hoping to come once again with my friends and family to spent some time and get some chai and pazampori. A go to place for anyone living in scarborough. They are located at the food truck ground behind scarborough town center. Also you can gind them at all places around toronto, canada on every gatherings.

Ive been in Canada for over 5 years now, for me the most difficult transition was to not be able to find good restaurants serving quality food. So when I heard about this new restaurant opening in Scarborough I was a bit sceptical but since it was a holiday i decided to go for their grand opening. It was a sublime event with a great crowd and beautiful music. The cherry on top was the food though, it was SUPREME. I had payolli chicken fry for starters its a must try. I tried Beef Ribs Pollichathu and OPs Lasagna for Mains. The beef was really creamy and tender. The porotta was soft and flakey (many of the other restaurants seems to not know but thats how its supposed to be). OPs Lasagna was a mystery dish for me, they explained it as porotta,beef,chicken and pazhampori layered with OPs secret sauce. It was exactly as I imagined and the secret sauce hits you in all the right taste notes. Even though I was pretty full I had to try their Elaneer palooda its one of the tasty, if not the tastiest desert you would find at an Indian restaurant. Finally these guys are the perfect reply for all the self indulgent opportunistic hypocrites who own Kairali, MR. Johns, Le Kochi etc. that food needs to be served with passion, care and quality in mind rather than greed and profit. Wishing these guys all the success. For anybody reading this if you havent tried Oru Pazhampori you are missing out on the best Kerala food in all of Ontario.

Good food, friendly crew, positive vibes! Bought the beef dosa, eraichi pittu mix and the elaneer falooda - a wonderful attempt to bring an ethnic feel to the burbs of scarborough. The food was great, but the samovar chaya was the king of them all: Bringing back memories of the ever popular Tea shops back home. Can see this becoming a popular haunt for all the cool kids real soon

Good place to chill and vibe in evenings . They have very good ambiance. Price is very high for every dish, but was tasty. Elaneer palooda was just okay and paying $12 is like too much , same with the samovour tea $3 for tasteless tea . But loves thier pazhampori on the rocks , it was very tasty , quality and quantity too. And very good interaction

These guys are gems!! I tried some items from their menu in the past few days and I must say that that they are the best in business right now. Their Elaneer Palooda is the best dessert I have ever tried, bun porotta with varutharacha chicken curry was amazing. The menu that changes every day makes us eager to know whats in stall in the coming days and before you even know, you will be visiting them almost every single day. I cant wait to see what they will have in their menu in the upcoming days.

Disappointing experience. There isnt a fixed menu and the menu is updated daily on Instagram. Check their Instagram page before you drive there. Still, you might not get everything mentioned in that days menu. Most of the main dishes were sold out, they said. For whatever was available, the quantity was awfully less. Even charged 2 dollars + tax for water.

That was a shock when we paid 6.75$ for three small bottles of water ( one full case 24 bottles of water available for 5$ In costco and wallmart) and eating dosa without chutney really disappointed . They have good ambiance but my personal experience was too bad . Kothuporotta seems to be like a dish without any flavours. Worst experience I ever had in canada . Ruined my day .

Okay, so when other Kerala food places in Scarborough bring in the same menu and same kind of food, Oru Pazhampori definitely stands out. They have a rotational menu, so one has to check if it is available for the day, before visiting ,if you have made up your mind to order something. Their tender coconut dessert, Ilaneer Palooda made all of my friends big fans of the dish!

I dont really understand what the hype is about, quantity is awful for the limited and expensive menu they have. We spent 60 CAD for the two of us, and I was still hungry. Friendly staff, good ambience, thats all to it. Kathari al fam had just one leg piece in it with the porotta, I mean my five year old son could eat that up in less than 10 mins. Or atleast they should sell it cheaper, its like 18 dollars tax in for that one dish.Total rip off I must say

Some of the best food youll get in town! Their spice game is on point with all the dishes offered but especially so with with Kandhari Al-Faham chicken and Chicken Perrattu not to mention their chicken/beef items are always the right amount of spicy and tender that makes you come back for more. Menu is mostly on rotation and every dish has its own uniqueness. Their dishes combines traditional south Indian flavors with a twist of the chefs imagination which always exceeded my expectations. Portions are large and is well worth the money spent. If you are visiting STC give them a visit, they surely are contender on the block for Indian food.
