Thalassery Junction Restaurant in Scarborough

I recently ordered the Mutton Bucket Biryani through DoorDash, and it was fantastic! The flavors were rich, and the mutton was tender. The portion was generous, easily enough for two people. It arrived hot and fresh, and the aroma was amazing. Definitely worth the order I highly recommend it for anyone craving a flavorful biryani........

Good food

The food is not good at all

The food is ok. Tried three different kinds of biryani, all of them tasted good but have way too much oil. Mushroom 65 and chilli chicken were good though.

Bought take out. They forgot half my order and didnt pick up the phone.

Nice food love everybit of food overthere And service over there is too good just Wow love it

love the way they serve and the food taste really good.

The food is really outstanding! Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection.

Hands down, some of the most delicious food Ive eaten lately!

I am gonna be broke soon just because of your food, its so yummy I cannot stop myself . Oh God

Its my favorite place to eat , even though it was my first visit.

Very bad experience with this restaurant. Food is too spicy. Never buy again

Just bought chicken breyani this afternoon.Oct 22, 2024 and It was awful. The chicken was so hard it was disgusting. It was like eating pieces of wood that is how hard it was. Does the chef not taste the food before selling to customers. I will not ever go there again and would definitely not encourage anyone to buy chicken breyani. It was terrible. Rating minus 10.

The food we ordered was average. The honey garlic cauliflower was too sweet and lacked balance in flavors.

One of the best restaurant in Scarborough I m a regular customer I really appreciate their work I m so impressed by their quantity of food and taste Keep it up

The food was so tasteless. I often go to this place and enjoy the food. I guess the cook is changed now. It was really ridiculous and waste of money for such nonsense food.

Love the ghee rice and beef curry as well as all their biryanis.

Probably my most favourite restaurant in Canada for a Kerala cuisine.Especially the bucket biriyani combos i love alot. I recommend if youre a lover of Kerala dishes you should never miss this one.

I always visit this restaurant with my friends. Their kothu parotta is my favourite kothu parota in Toronto.

As a Kerala biriyani lover this place is a gift for me. I love all their dishes in beef and mutton. The working people are also so polite and nice especially the girl Anu was so kind.

Tge biriyani was so tasty. The more appreciable part was the customer service. I got an explemlary experience from farzana who had served the food for me. Thank you so much and its a must try

Takes so long , need to wait more than 30 minutes for my order

I ordered chicken fried rice and butter chicken . It was awesome . Definitely recommend . SHRUTI the lady who works there gave us excellent service . She is soo attentive and kind .

Good ambience, great food, excellent customer service!

The restaurant is having a south Indian name,but the food me and my guys ordered was having a North Indian taste so,we decided never be back to here.

One of the worst food experience I have ever had. The food at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. The biryani was bland and dry and lots of spices which is awful and the lime juice tasted more like sugared water than fresh juice. I would not recommend this place for a decent meal.

I called this place to order chicken biryani at 23:48 and they said to come after 10-15 mins. Then I informed one of the staffs that I will be there in 23 mins and drove all the way from toronto to scarborough and they said we are out of it. Totally unprofessional.

Good biryani

Had the mutton biriyani. It was not thalassery biriyani. Not like southern kerala biriyani with a lot of spice. Pro Big portions good service Con Not authentic thalassery biriyani

The food is tasty and nice. The service is good. But the issue is the waiting time. You have to wait 20-30 minutes to get your food. There is limited seating.

Had the spicy chicken Biryani and the porota roast beef. Both delicious.

I drove 20 minutes to this restaurant because their website said they were open until 1 AM. I arrived at 12, only to be told the kitchen was already closed. It doesn t make any sense if the kitchen closes at 12, the website should reflect that. It was really frustrating . Very disappointing experience.

I tried their bucket chicken Biriyani and beef Biriyani last week. The name of the restaurant is Thalaseery dum Biriyani but the Biriyanis they served weren t Thalassery style. It s more or less a Tamil nad style masala flavoured Biriyani made in Kaima rice. Do not expect a Talaserry styale biriyani just by looking their restaurant name. Quantity was ok. I ordered through phone and I was asked to come after 40 minutes as they just opened. If you are open, the food should be ready to serve. Its not a good practice to ask yhe customer to wait for a long time as food is not ready. May be you can update the opening hours which makes more sense

Omg awesome food. I love it.

Best Dum Biriyani in Greater Toronto Area! I have found this place from the very beginning so I recommend everyone to come and try their Bucket Biriyani at least once so that you can compare it to other places. The rice is so aromatic that makes the Biriyani more flavourful. They use South Indian spices but still the Biryani is mild. Good portions of meat and rice is served every time. The service is a bit slow because theyre getting online orders too. In teams of taste and quality you must try it!

Food is good,although the name of place is thalaserry biriyani and servicing tamilnadu biriyani.Its still good,little oily. I love there porotta and beef curry,its really nice,but if you dont like spicy,tell them prior to your order. Food

Quality foods and great customer service. Dont miss the momo if you ever visit there.

Worst service, Zero hospitality.

I recently dined at Thalassery Junction and was quite disappointed with the service despite the food being decent. The hospitality left much to be desired there was no one to attend to us, and we were left standing for a considerable time. Additionally, the lack of glasses for water, with only a jug provided, was quite inconvenient. The new server, in particular, displayed an unprofessional attitude that made us feel unwelcome. While the food quality was acceptable, the overall experience was marred by the poor service

Their bucket biryani and the Kizhi Parotha are my favourite. It s a chef s kiss, the quantity is worth the money. But the preparation time is a bit tiring.

Superbb tasty food. We ordered bucket beef biriyani for dinner and it was too good. Bucket biriyani had complimentary chicken wings which was so tender. Food

Very bad experience almost waited for 20mins and till that time did not serve the food the ask to stand up from the seat at let other sit on the same spot. We where only and the other customers were 3 is that is a reason? Very bad experience and won t suggest anyone for this place

Bad customer service from the side of employees. They made me wait for extra 20 minutes only to say the table we had is already reserved and had to wait for another 20mnts.And i had to leave the store.

I would say this is the best Kerala cuisine restaurant I ve come across on canada. The food is always fresh and reasonably priced. The packaging and service is also good.

Very good taste of the biriyani

Very very yummy biryani

Food was good but above all, the server Namrutha was so approachable and her attitude and behavior was so appreciable. I will rate her 5/5

Just try out here as my friend referred The biriyani is like maggi biriyani, not even taste And waiting time for reheating biriyani is almost 1 hr So disappointed Food : 1/5 |

Best crab curry in GTA, and its enough for two people

We order chicken 65 and it was completely burnt.

Amazing.

We recently tried their food and it was amazing. We ordered , mutton biriyani, chicken roast with parotta, chicken kothu,fish nirvana. The fish nirvana was the king of the table it was very tasty , its a must try dish. The mutton biriyani was so yummy, it melts in your mouth. The kothu was good but a little spicy . Overall the experience was great and the portion sizes are big compared to all of the other restaurants. We would definitely go back! Thank you for the tasty food

Yesterday we had chicken biriyani & Parotta with mutton curry. Foods was Soo Tasty & I Dnt have to words to explain. Well done everything.

The Thalassery biriyani was excellent, featuring aromatic spices and perfectly cooked rice, making it a highlight of the meal. However, the chilly chicken and Chicken 65 were disappointing. Both dishes were quite dry and overly red, which detracted from their flavor and texture. While the biriyani is worth returning for, the quality of the chilly chicken and Chicken 65 needs improvement.

I have order for the first time and it was mutton bucket biryani and to my rev is awesome how this biryani tast like homemade it special for me . Hifi for chef and mana awesome stuff

Very bad service Makes customers wait for 1 hour Overall a bad experience Service : 1/5

Food was great. Service was a little slow but they were quite busy. Place is very small with limited eat-in seating, so most food is takeout. It is in a small strip plaza, so parking is also very limited.

I dont like this Restaurant. Last Sunday we had a chicken biryani from this store and I got a hair from the biryani. I raised the complaint to the server and no action were taken. Really sad about this. I am not satisfied with this. Vegetarian options: More dishes

The best spot

best to place to buy the most basic tasting biryani, for people who have an issue with spicy food, nothing to worry as there is no flavor let alone spice. They have pleasent staff but then again, food is mid

Ordered Beef Biriyani and Mutton Biriyani through Uber Eats. They sent big bone pieces instead meat in these Biriyanis. Never seen such bone in beef biriyani in my life. As a Kerala restaurant , I need to say that none of the restaurants in Kerala will serve Beef Biriyani like this.Too much greed for money. I will never order from this shop again.

The food was not tasty, especially the porotta and fish Nirvana, which were overly salty. The waiting time was excessively long, adding to the frustration. Customers are required to pay first, which seems unfair given the long wait. The service was very poor, with staff being inattentive. The overall dining experience was disappointing. The combination of bad service and unappetizing food made it worse. I wouldnt recommend this place to others.

We visited this restaurant after recommendation from a friend. The food was amazing, best mutton Briyani I ever had. Also loved their seafood devil

The portion sizes were generous and satisfying, which was a definite plus. However, while the biriyani was okay in taste, it didnt taste like thalaserry style, especially in terms of the masala used for a dish claiming to be Thalaserry-style. The most significant issue, however, was with the delivery service. Despite an initial promise of a 20-minute wait, my order ended up taking a full 40 MINUTES TO ARRIVE.

Really yummy food but wait till sucks

Ordered mussels fry and it was absolute garbage and quantity was very less. They not even care about their customers. Highly disappointed and dissatisfied with their service and food.

Pathetic puttu , just bland with no taste. Motta curry and porotta also disappointed:

The food was fantastic, the place was clean, and the staff were really friendly!

The food is a 10/10. The parottas are layers of flakey delicious goodness. The butter chicken is spicy (my fave!) , the mutton is so tender. This place is a hidden gem! I ve only picked up food for take out - which is what I d recommend. But seriously, get the butter chicken and parotta!

Had the please of having dinner here tonight and food was very good and flavourful. Staffs here truly cares about the guests. Highly recommended.

Bought chicken biriyani at this place for the 1st time. Half tray for $65, good enough for more than 10 people. Super tasty biriyani and I will defo go back to Thalassery. Parking: Enough parking spots

Very disappointed with food and service. Never gonna come back. I still Wonder how they manage to get all those fake paid reviews!

First of all, the food here is fire. If you want the authentic-authentic thalassery briyani in GTA this is a must. Apart from that I think there is only one person serving all the food, so u can expect 20min delay, also there was a strange odour on the right side of the seatings, I think it may be from the restroom behind it. This was our only ich about this place .. Kid-friendliness: They have a baby chair.

Best curry Ive ever had! Super fresh, tasty and excellent service. Highly recommend

This is a review by a Malayalee not for the biriyani here (which is good) but this is for the amazing Nepali Momo s. Do you know what I m talking about ? Come n see and test it. This is not the trash ones you usually get this they give 10 Momo s and amazing two kinds of chutneys .. #momoinThalassery #NepaliMomo #Authentic #FriendlyStaff :)

My favorite kerala food restaurant. fish nirvana is a must try

Ordered for chicken kothu paratha I found a small pin inside I literally found while having in my mouth. Really disappointed.

I guess theyre not giving any priority to the Dine-in people who keep waiting for a long time..like a full hour or two, instead they process all the online orders very quickly. Ordered some starters and by the time it arrived, it turned out to be more like a finisher. That 1 staff over there is working so hard and definitely struggling to keep up with the customers. Definitely understaffed. Regarding food; never had such an unbelievably disastrous porotta in my life. Chicken Biriyani, chicken curry and beef curry was good as well as the vegetable fried rice but the beef roast was kind of disappointing. Overall, it was not worth waiting 2 hours ! Vegetarian options: A decent amount of veg options are available here and taste good actually.

Bucket biryani just wow every time I come to Scarborough I always stop by to get some takeout. Just love this place

I have ordered Mutton briyani from there, they will take more time to prepare but taste was good.

Recently I ordered chicken kizhi parota and chicken dum briyani. Most of my friends recommend thalassery restaurant for biriyani. I really love this biriyani it was so delicious. I tried chicken kizhi parota first time. Parota was soaked with lots of boneless chicken gravy it was so juicy everyone must try kizhi parota. I m very satisfied very worth for the money I got the quantity . Keep it up your good service. I recommend this place.

One of the best place in toronto there food is amazing specially the noodles and Biryani

Restaurant is clean all the time and food is better I personally recommend that South Indian dish kuttu and chicken Biriyani Also the staff there is polite. Food

The maharani biryani is my go-to dine-In option. Its perfect being medium spicy with absolute portions for the price range. I am fan of Thier biryanis. I even forgot to take pictures since its so appetizing, I always dig into it from the getgo. Just awesome

One of my favourite restaurants in the city. The biriyani is so tasty and the portions are huge.

Nice beef biryani

Thalassery chicken Biriyani is the best

The food was absolutely delicious!

Great staffs, great food. Personally liked the bucket chicken biriyani, tried several times. Food

I recently visited the restaurant with high hopes after hearing the reviews from friends. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations. To start off it took an eternity to even get our orders taken, we had to remind the sever multiple times, there were no water glasses on the table, till we left the restaurant the water glass wasnt placed. The food was served after 45mins which was average and incomplete. Overall, I would not recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying dining experience.

Their chicken biriyani bucket option is really good

We went for dinner yesterday and was happy with the food. We ordered a seafood fried rice. I asked the waitress specifically if there will be egg and she said no. She didnt even attempt to say that she will go and check with the chef. Then later she brings the fried rice saying sorry there is egg in this. Just for courtesy sake we accepted the order. I could not eat it as I cant eat egg. So please see that the waitresses are making sure what we are asking and confirm it with the kitchen staff before making such mistakes. The rest of the food was delicious. We wish there would be booths, as there is no privacy. So next time we can only do take out as it was very open.

Also known & selling as : Thalassery Dum Really Disappointed.! I hail from Kerala & this is my first time dining out in a restaurant as opposed to our usual in-house cooking. We ordered a veg meals (combo) for four, a chicken fry and a beef fry. - For someone who have been reviewing restaurants for a while, this sure doesnt cut the satisfaction rate is any manner. The rice was colder than ice. Most side dishes lacked salt. The beef fry was not cooked properly. Customer service is really poor. We witnessed a lot many customers getting agitated due to their longer waiting hours. It took us more than 30 mins to get our order fulfied atleast partly. Another 20 mins to get some water at the table. Meals - 2 / 5 Chicken Fry - 2.5 / 5 Beef Fry - 1.5 / 5 Upsides : The place offers parking space, supports skip the dish and other online orders and supports tap & pay methods. In total, it is indeed a sad experience, especially when we looked forward to having some good native cuisine.

Their Bucket Biriyani was super tasty and would highly recommend it.

Do not go if you are looking for vegetarian option. As they are serving non veg food even after asking 3 to 4 times when dish came on the table. After all things, they have not apologized us and also asked us to pay for everything. However, after some arguments they have refunded us half amount of money.

Never ever visit this restaurant, they are intentionally serving non veg dishes , we went to the restaurant today one hour before we ordered veg biryani and paneer tikka masala. The girl served us chicken tikka masala. When we asked her this is paneer tikka masala right ? she said yes but it was actually non veg. And still she charged us for everything we had not touched the food. She never apologized for her mistake at all.

I loved this restaurant but nowadays they are messing up the food.. i always find sooo much of oil in my food.. This is 3rd time i am experiencing this. Totally disgusting.

High price food average

Egg Shell in the Maharani biryani

Great place for Kerala food. Great taste and good quantity of food. Worth trying food from here. Love their chicken and mutton Biryani

A few months ago, I tried their bucket mutton biryani for the first time and have been addicted to it ever since.

I made an order online me I have to say the food is good, but they filled to add something I ordered, when I made a call they said I could get that the next time, which being today and I made that I get this time by making a call to the restaurant. They said they ll add the missed item but they didn t. Since that being not a free item and I already paid for that, I have to say I am disappointed. The staffs are friendly on the call but idk. [if you remember I made the call ,twice, where s my wings mannn]

Bought bucket biriyani. It comes with chicken wings ,papad , salad and pickle. The papad was vv less and the chicken wings had a awful oil after taste . The biriyani was really good with good quantity . Have to just check on the oil and give more papad

The food was excellent but the customer service was bad there because was only 1staff to handle everything, which delays the services. She was working so hard but increase in the number of staffs will be appreciated, especially on the night shift.

Need to check on food quality and cleanliness and try to provide kerala food as per the name

Long wait order and food doesnt taste good.. Not recommended

Thalassery Junction Restaurant, what can I say? This place is an absolute disaster. The service was abysmal. The waitstaff seemed disinterested in their job and took forever to bring our order. When the food finally arrived, it was a disappointment. Food

I ordered food chicken curry prantha and chilly chicken everything was fantastic specially the pranthas are so crispy and good

I tried their chicken biryani it was fantastic. Also, the portion was in hefty amount fully loaded with leg pieces and chunks of chickens. I loved it and Ill definitely visiting the restaurant again.

I tried there chkn biryani it was amazing the portion size was too big , good for 2 people

The worst experience not recommended

The food is kind of worse which i experienced in Scarborough area.

Wong and is not cooked

Best fried pronta I have ever tried must recommend this dish

Food was delicious and service was great. Chef Sasi was kind enough to make kids friendly items and kids enjoyed the meal. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Biryani. The fish nirvana was beyond expectations!! Mathi fish was exceptionally delicious. Amazing service and very tasty food.

Waiting time is more.

The taste of their foods is good enough. But, they need to focus on the price. In some cases, the price seems a bit expensive for some food items like the Paratta/Parath.

Everyone must try their BUCKET BIRIYANI which comes with some chicken wings. Nice flavor in town.( I tried twice and I will order again). Also I like their chicken sukka which comes with rich flavor but not too spicy. If you dont like to wait during rush hour, please before you go.

One of the slowest restaurant ever. Ordered Briyani, the readily available dish elsewhere, but took almost 25 minutes or more to get. Kothu parotta, most of it was burnt extremely. Not worth it. Perhaps they have to change the chef. Highly not recommended. Highly disappointed. Not going back ever. Serving person need to be trained or need to add more staff. Pathetic. Positives: Thalassery chicken Briyani - not bad in taste and texture.

If you are hungry,dont go to this place.We wanted to dine and waited for 20 minutes for the customer service people to show up.Inspite of repeated request to take our order,she kept delaying it.Once she showed up after 20 minutes,she took our order and then she said there is 25-30 minutes wait time for the food.We came out from the restaurant and went to Mr.Johns restaurant.

Have been sitting at the restaurant for more than 30 minutes and the server didnt come to even take the order. Dont bother going there and waste time.

Great food, the spices used in every dish is to die for. I m a regular since 2021. Never had any issues/ problems. Underrated IMO considering their taste.

I was waiting for 1 hour for take out for chicken biriyani. I don t know the food taste, because I am still in the restaurant waiting for biriyani. Very disappointed.

The owner , Shashi makes fool of their customers by employing one cook and one cashier. At the rush hour waiting for an hour and half for just a biryani. I waited patiently until my patience broke. Never again going back at this place. The owner taking advantage of these students. Worst restaurant.

Waited for more than 1 hour to get 1 chicken Biriyani . They were not treating customers in who came first . Very disappointed.

I was waiting for more an hour for getting my food. They keep their customers waiting so long I got frustrated and I ask my payment back and left the store. I will never go back again. They not even eligible for one star.

The best food ever. Been missing home food lately and found this gem in the middle of the city. Friendly service One of the best places to hangout with friends and have some of the best biriyani s in town. Highly recommended Try it for your self.

Best food ever

I love the butter chicken and noodles ..I love this place also the service is very nice

Best food ever. Especially the taste of Birayani is so delicious. The service and the setup is on point. I really loved this place.

Parking: They have a free parking lot right infront of the restaurant. Food

Bought two chilli chicken yesterday, don t know wether the chef dumped the whole food colour and chilli packet into the chilli chicken, too spicy and too redish

We recently hosted a party for about 40 people and Sasi Anna helped us a lot get the menu right, he also gave us the best food, quality was amazing, everyone enjoyed the food and overall they are the best. A highly recommended place if you are hosting and looking to Carter for a large group of people.

Best food in Scarborough. Tastes authentic and best hospitality.. food prep time may be a little delayed because they don t give pre cooked food.. it s done once we order, this the taste.. pls try guys..

Best food ever

Not worth it.

Didnt think the food would be this bad. Also we had to wait too long for our food.

We have been visiting this restaurant for more than 2 years at least twice a month, the staff knows us as they see us often but today was the worst experience one could have after giving so much business to them over years. We had ordered a pickup for our usual beef biryani and chicken fried rice with chilli chicken via doordash, on the way to the restaurant my family changed their mind and decided to dine in instead of takeout, the food was already ordered a while ago to save time on waiting there, upon arrival we requested the person at the cash counter to dine in she said we charge extra if you order pickup and later decide to dine in? I seriously didn t understand their logic behind this, the price of the dishes was same online and in person. I requested to speak to the manager and they said he s not here, then I asked for the person in charge and the chef came out and asked what did you want to talk to me about? I mentioned the same reason and he said we charge 20% extra of the order price if you want to dine in! The server told her about us being a regular customer and he still said its a rule we have- I had already spent $50 and now I give them $10 to eat their food in their restaurant? I also requested to ask the boss and he didnt call him even after I telling out loud you wont see me here next time. The above is just for the store to change their approach and the customers to keep in mind of what to expect from the restaurant.

This place is pure SIN! The serving size is so large and the taste is so yum, one cant resist committing gluttony .

I recommend maharaja biriyani for everyone its the best.

Quality and quantity both best.

I ordered Chicken Biryani from Thalassary Junction restaurant located at 2900 Eglinton Ave E, Scarborough, ON M1J 2E4 yesterday along with some Mango Milkshake. The chicken biryani was undercooked and was of bad quality. We only had some biryani and we had to threw away the rest of the biryani. It was one of the worst biryani I ever had. I would never order any food from Thalassary Junction and would never recommend people to order food from Thalassary Junction again. Also, the customer service I received from Doordash was poor. They had promised to refund my whole payment for the order due to my experience, but they are not living upto their promise of refund. I feel cheated and will never recommend Thalassary Junction and Doordash to anyone.

Loved the biriyani. The staff(both girls who served) was great! Thank you for your service Food

Very nice place and food is awesome

Personally the chicken biriyani is much better than the mutton biriyani. The chicken bijryiani is a great size and very fresh and delicious and comes with papadam, raita and hot sauce - no egg. The butter chicken is also really delicious but for $15.99, more meat pieces could have been added. Will continue to come back and try new items.

Amazing food and great service by Anu and Vidhya. Very friendly and caring the customers, the foods were delicious and cost-effective to the quantity and price

Every Friday after Jummah, I come here for Chicken Chukka Biryani. Thank you for your delicious food. Thank you for existing. It is soooo good!

I always choose this place when Im craving for noodles but now am doubting the hygeine practices they follow. Found this hair while i was eating. It was so tiny but i wonder how many were inside the food

Given a take out order at 10.05 and received at 11.10. Made us wait in the restaurant for more than an hour. Online delivery people were getting orders handed to them in front of us. Worst experience ever. If you have got 2 hrs just for getting the order prepared then well suggest you thalassery junction.

Good food, tried fish nirvana and it was amazing. Biriyani was average. Quantity is amazing! Had to wait around 25 mins for the food to be served. Overall, worth a visit.

Even after placing an order 50 mins ago they still asked to wait 15 minutes more. This happens most of the times. VERY VERY POOR EXPERIENCE.

I had the worst experience at Thalassery Junction last day. I went there to pick up my order, but despite being just 5 minutes late, they hadnt even prepared it. To pass the time, I decided to order two cups of tea. However, it took an additional 20 minutes to get our order, and to make matters worse, we had to wait for another half an hour to actually receive the tea while we sat in the restaurant. It was truly the worst tea I have ever had. This entire experience left me extremely dissatisfied and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The beef fry is very good, and the beef biryani too!

Adipoli food. Canadian mallus must visit

Got only beef bones in a biryani when complained in the restaurant they are not even bothered about the customers feedback.. really bad service

You most try Bucket chicken biryani they offer with Tandoori Wings and egg.

Very sloww
