The best South Indian food I've ever eaten—I ❤️ it!

September 28, 2024

Used to love the place but the quality is a hit or miss. Order in the morning and the chances of good food are very high. Ordering in the evening and you will be taking a chance with taste and quality. Ordered kothu and had bones in mine, the taste was inconsistant and stale. Hope the quality improves and I can change the rating.

Best Sri Lankan restaurant in Scarborough! Made a Phone Call order for Banana Leaf Mutton Lunch and Veg Rice & Curry, Tasted Very Delicious and It was packed perfectly without any delay also the service i would rate 10/10. They were very friendly took their time on explaining their everyday special's. I would definitely visit again!

Decent food for traditional south Indian or Sri lank-an food. They also do have a tiny grocery section. Though outside of busy area it is gaining popularity slowly

Tried their mutton kottu on Friday night and got their weekend special rice today (Sunday) coz the kottu was mind blowing!!! The rice and curry was full of flavour! For 15 dollars you get 5 types of veg curries, a good amount of mutton curry, 2 pieces of fried chicken, a piece of fried dish and a boiled egg too which is more than enough for 2 people.. the mutton kottu too had so much meat in it, you can savour meat in every bite. We asked for extra spicy and wished the kottu was more spicy though 😄 definitely will be visiting them frequently to try their other dishes too and I’m so glad to find Sri Lankan food in this area! Also they do carry a stock of Sri Lankan grocery staples too on sale.. so if you need to grab some curry leaves or milk powder or a quick maliban or munchee buiscuit, they got you covered 😊

Delicious homemade Sri Lankan food at affordable prices. Since their cuisine is similar to Kerala cuisine, which is where I am from, the food really hits the target. They have special deals on each day of the week, which are really cost efficient.

The Staff was Very Welcome and Friendly. The Service was quick and our food hot and well prepared Vegetarian options: Ive been going to Kangas Catering & Take-Out for over a year now, and this will always be my go-to restaurant for South Indian/ Sri Lankan style meals. Nothing can compare to their deliciously divine foods, wide variety of vegetarian options, and low prices. I just ordered their mango ice cream today and absolutely enjoyed it, the flavour is incomparable to any other ice cream Ive had before. The staff has always been super friendly as they treat customers like family. The food is always on point. Its my go-to when I crave those spicy, flavourful dishes. Definitely a winner in my book.

The customer service is excellent and the food is delicious. Everything is very flavourful and you can ask them to customize to your spice preferences. The kotthu roti and kudal curry are the best in Scarborough. They even have delicious ice cream, the mango and pistachio flavour are the best.

Hi. I bought mutton big box meals today for lunch. Its garbage food. Mutton curry is old one. They make yesterday or day before yesterday. Quantity of food is less. He gave me less veg curry . He charge for egg also.I bought chicken pakora also. Its not fresh. Its old one. I spent almost $20. Dont do it for other customers. Please give them fresh food. Becas we spent money for that. Not for free.

Hands down the best Mutton kothu I had in the GTA. Im a kothu roti kind of girl. I try kothu roti everywhere I go & this mutton kothu roti hit the spot. The roti itself was soft and mutton was just perfect. I also bought a mutton roll and half way eating it I went back in and grabbed 2 more. It wasnt oily or soggy. It was just nice crunchy. I also got the chicken shrimp noodles. All in all no complaints. Prices were pretty decent too for what you get . Cravings satisfied. Friendly customer service & u can also buy some srilankan groceries there too. Thank u

When I say Kanga is one of the best kept culinary secrets in Toronto, I am not over exaggerating. We had some of the best food here than we have anywhere in Toronto and that is including Michelin rated restaurants. The chicken and shrimp pasta, the masala chai and the cabbage were some of our favourites. The restaurant is run by the loveliest folks who were so helpful as we made our order. The tiny place is organized so efficiently and also doubles as a grocery store. Will be thinking about our experience for a long time. Can t wait to return!

I absolutely love getting my lunch from this food outlet every workday! Their chicken and mutton curries are delicious, and the portions of Kothu and puttu are just right. The variety of snacks they offer is fantastic, and whats even better is that their prices are very reasonable. Its my go-to place for a satisfying and flavorful lunch. Highly recommend!

Weve been meaning to try them out since we moved into the area. We finally remembered today, and we are so glad we did. Very nice lady behind the counter. Service was fast and friendly. We got a few things. The mutton curry was packed with meat and flavor, a spicy carnivores delight. We also got an order of chicken pakoras. They were fall off the bone tender and with a light crispy coating. So much food for the dollar! Cant wait to try more next time like vegetarian options and their kothu roti.
