Tharavadu, Home of Kerala Cuisine, is an authentic restaurant which offers the flavours of Kerala.
Visited this place for breakfast, the only south indian place here that opens at 7am. For breakfast they have some great combo options. We tried Appam and Idiyappam with egg curry. Both were satisfactory for the cost. We also ordered their chicken roast which was delicious. Would definitely try this again. Our servers were Ans and Sona- they made sure to check on us every now and then.
Authentic Kerala Parotta and beef roast. Had the chicken stew and Appam,it was just aromatic. The service was good and the staff are super friendly
Ordered take out of pothi choru, Kerala porotta, Fish Nirvana and Payam pori with Ullivada. Fish Nirvana was awesome it was really decadent rich with coconut milk mildly spiced perfect combination with porotta. Nothing to complain at all made my day. Very rarely do we find such a restaurant. Kuddos to the chef and Tharavadu team. Will visit again to try other items on their menu.
The Kerala food here is really good and the prices are fair. It gets pretty packed in the evenings, and parking can be a pain. But the staff is super friendly.
Food here has been really good lately. Not sure what magic happened but all the dishes we tried were delicious. We tried kappa biriyani, paal kappa (beef and chicken), biriyani (both ela and Tharavadi biriyani, Alfaham Mandi. Beef biriyani was remarkable. Vere Level!! 😎 Paalkappa was also good. Keep up the good work!! Chandhana was really patient and helpful
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this T haravadu and tried their beef roast. Absolutely amazing! The flavors were authentic, rich, and perfectly spiced. On top of that, the customer service was exceptional. Jeena Kripa and Sona went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensured we had a great experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious Kerala cuisine!
Testing out the kerlas scene in Scarborough and came across this gem that was open late. The food was amazing! Had the mutton biriyani, parotta, beef roast, king fish masala. Everything was honestly really good, and the beef roast was probably my personal favorite.
I had to wait long to be seated and to order. I ordered Chicken Dum Biriyani - it was too bitter from the flavours of some spices overpowering. Would not buy this dish again. There was quite a good amount of food in one serving though. Great atmosphere to dine in.
Appam and Stew ...they need to make that a combo ....
Excellent food! Highly recommend the egg roast and palappam!! Good service by Ans and Gauri!
Worst service and worst food ever. Once we ordered a tandoori mandhi and it was the worst, the chicken was fully burnt and toasted. The main part of a mandhi is mayonnaise and it was really watery, more like milk. And when we called them they told us the mayonnaise is complimentary and there was a problem with the mayonnaise s making that day. Let me ask, if there was a problem with the mayonnaise, why sell the defected product in the first place. The service was the worst and she was not even ready to take account for their mistake.
The mandhi was really burnt. The mayonnaise was watery. Worst place too order. Never recommend.
Amazing service!
Nice place to go for Kerala cuisine.
Had a great experience with delicious food. The service was excellent, especially from Chandana and Namita, who attended to us.
Regular customer to this restaurant.. Wonderful place to have Kerala cuisine.. Good service and ambience! Especially Chandana was very welcoming. Vegetarian options: NA
Good place to dine in and take out food. The food is so good
Atmosphere was good. Staff very rude! Food was terrible. Ended up with an upset stomach for the whole day. Food was served cold and had a whole bunch of egg shells in our omelette. Addressed it to the staff and got no response from them. Actual waste of money and not worth the hype.
Tharavadu - Home of Kerala Cuisine delivered an exceptional dining experience. We ordered the King Fish Polichathu, Shrimp Roast, Chicken Roast, and Kerala Parotta. Every dish was flavorful and authentic, with the king fish standing out as the absolute favorite perfectly cooked and packed with spices. The service was just as impressive, with Namitha going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Her attentiveness and warm demeanor truly added to the experience. If you re looking for delicious Kerala cuisine with great service, Tharavadu is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!
Namitha had given us a very good service jallikettu mandhi is awesome
Had a great dine at tharavadu restaurant. The jellikat mandhi is a must try one and the server Namitha was spot on in her service with a generous smile.
Good food and service
The food was amazing and our server Namitha was soo polite and eccentric through out our experience at Taravadu.
The food here is fantastic, everything we ordered was delicious, and the service was excellent. However, the seating arrangement could use some improvement, as the space is quite limited and might be challenging for groups larger than eight. Additionally, the passion fruit lemonade we ordered wasn t to our liking
Namitha was so good in serving..will definitely come back
Food was good and great service by the staff Namitha
Excellent food, especially the tea it truly brings back the taste of home and reminds me of a traditional nadan chayakada! The authenticity in every sip and bite is unmatched. Namithas customer service was outstanding; she made the experience even more delightful with her warm and attentive approach. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a taste of home
Visited Tharavadu Restaurant and tried the Tandoori Mandi. The food was decent, and the service by Namitha was excellent.
A good place to dine in with decent food
Loved beef roast! Nice hospitality and customer service.
The food here was just delicious especially the chicken curry and good customer service by Diana Parking: Good parking space
We had food couple of times from here, it was so tasty.. Alfam Mandi is good also Paalkappa fish curry, try naadan chaaya especially in a chilluglass nostalgic songs played in background for best ambience Parking: Plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: Staffs are very friendly to kid
Diana and srijith were super welcoming. Customer service was great! Food has always been too good here :) no doubt. Should try the chicken cutlets:D
Very good customer services and the staff are more friendly. I really enjoyed my dinner.
We tried the Jellikettu Mandi here last night based on the staff s recommendation and the hype around it. While the taste was decent, the portion of rice was too large for one person, and we couldn t finish it. However, within 5-10 minutes of eating, both of us started experiencing severe gastric issues that lasted until the next day, even after taking medicine. We re unsure of what ingredients were used in the mandi, but we deeply regretted eating here. Another issue worth mentioning is the cleanliness of the bathroom and hand wash area. I ve visited this place a few times before, and it s consistently unclean. The sink often gets clogged and remains that way without being addressed.
We tried the Jellikettu Mandi last night. While the taste was fine, we both experienced severe stomach and gastric issues shortly after eating, which lasted into the next day, even after taking medicine. We also ordered the pineapple mint lime drink with the Mandi, but it was overly sweet and didn t pair well with the food. They replaced it when we raised the issue, but it was just average. Two days ago, we tried the banana fritters, which were a letdown too oily, burnt on the outside, and the banana wasn t ripe. Hygiene is another concern. The bathroom and handwashing areas are often dirty, with sinks frequently clogged and left unfixed. It s important to check both positive and negative reviews before visiting this place. The staff should also give honest feedback about the dishes instead of overhyping items like the Mandi, which don t live up to expectations.
The food was worst. I odered Peri peri mandi but it was so awful. The rice was also overcooked.
I am writing to complain about the GST that is being charged illegally. I believe that the GST being charged is incorrect and excessive. I request you to look into this matter and take appropriate action.
Vegetarian options: good options Food
One of the worst porotta and appam i ever had in my life. Appam was soaked in oil (not sure why) and had the size of a coin porotta. Porotta was hard as wood and need to soak in curry before eating. Never visiting again!!! Entire dining area was filled with small amount of smoke as well!!
Good food. Not many breakfast Kerala restaurants in Scarborough.this is one of the few which has breakfast. Staffs are amazing especially ANS , she was very polite and welcoming.
Absolutely amazing food and service. Definitely try the Fish Paal Kappa and the Fish Nirvana paired with Parotta. 10/10
The service was really great .
Perfect! Must visit.. Namitha and Diana reception made us felt like home in Kerala. Thank you!!
The food was super and the staff Namitha and Diana who served was excellent
Super food ..Jeslin and jismi food adiche chatthu.. Namitha and Dayan were incredibly helpful and efficient in serving food. Their dedication and attention to detail ensured everyone was well taken care of. Highly appreciated! Fish nirvana...chuuper
The place really has some good options to try from. I tried the Chattichoru and Paalkappa with beef and trust me it was soooo good. Also the staff there are so lively and cheerful. Special thanks to the staff Sona and Kripa for suggesting the Chattichoru!!
The quantity of beef fry I bought was so small
I bought snacks today. It was very small and the banana was not even ripen.
The food was great.. Especially jellikattu manthi
Beef adipwoli. Ethu Mood. Pwoli Mood. Overall, the food was really great. Ancy was a great server who took her time to help us out in providing recommendations. Really great ambience! Really liked the fact that they re open till 4:00 Am. A great spot for families and friends to hang out!
This is definitely not the place to go if you are a chai person the chai we got here was unbelievably terrible.
Very nice Kerala food Vegetarian options: Very tasty veg meals Food : 5/5 |

Additionally, the customer service was exceptional Jyothi, in particular, was incredibly helpful and ensured we felt well taken care of throughout our visit. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the excellent service!

Good food and service
Had a good experience with Ans
Food was bland, no taste. Afgani mandi was really subpar. The beef curry was also very disappointing
Excellent service from Ans and great food
Take out ...very bad experience Parota was not nice ...had a bad oil taste ... Beef roast was also not good Disappointed...and not recommended
I visited this place tonight and had a very bad experience just because of the bad service. The food i ordered was just average, but non veg food ordered by my friends were very good. When I ordered one porotta to the girl who took our order, it took so much time to get served. The thing was she forgot about it and the service was so poor. Totally disappointed just because of that. The management should take these kind of issues seriously and appoint some good staffs.
Very friendly staff & professional services. Chai was fire Food : 4/5
I ve been here before, and I must say the food has improved a lot it s really good now! A special shoutout to Geena for her excellent service. She s attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
Parking: None Food
Food is consistently good.
I had a wonderful experience at Tharavad restaurant . The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The ambiance was cozy, and the food was delicious. A perfect blend of great service and tasty dishes definitely a place I ll return to! Thanks to Ans and Sona.
Was here and had biriyani /kappa and beef was really nice. The servers Alice and Sona were really nice. Highly recommended place for south Indian food.
Great food, great service by Sona
Im a frequent visitor to Tharavadu, and each time, the ambiance, with its cozy seating and soothing music, sets the perfect vibe for a delightful meal. The tea and snacks are always a treat, but the real stars are the Paalkkappa-fish, and mandi truly exquisite. Special mention to Jyothi ; her customer service is exceptional. She has a knack for making every guest feel special, enhancing our dining experience significantly. Highly recommend for both the culinary delights and the warm hospitality.
Great food...they dont add food color like mr johns do...real authentic taste ...price is reasonable
Food quality was so poor, I had ordered a tandoori Mandi however substandard quality of food and found tiny stones found in rice was very disappointing. I would not recommended this restaurant, even to my enemies.
Good service and good food

food was very nice as well as the service
I recently visited Tharavadu, and I must say it was an incredible experience. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors, and the service was impeccable. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal. A special shoutout to Jyothi, who made our visit even more memorable. Her friendly demeanor and excellent service added a personal touch that made us feel truly welcomed. I highly recommend Tharavadu to anyone looking for great food and exceptional hospitality!
Hit up Tharavadu and it was ! Food slapped , and Ans was a real one super chill and took care of everything . Definitely gotta check it out! Parking: .
Both Ans and Sona did a great job serving and provided a pleasant space for dine in. Great staff!
We enjoyed the Kappa, Sardine fish, fish polichudu, the service was great with the servers educating us of the dishes ordered and served us with a smile the whole time. Coming again to try more dishes as the serving sizes were huge and we couldn t eat more.
Food was not freash waste of moneY
Evening snacks, mandi, Chicken Biryani
I visited here today and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I ordered the jellikkatt Manthi, but the mayonnaise and chutney had an unpleasant taste that made the dish hard to enjoy. Additionally, I ordered an egg puffs with ketchup, but only received the egg puffs, and no ketchup was provided. Even they didn t keep the manners to give enough napkins with that. When I asked for a takeout box, the staff gave me one but failed to provide a spoon, which was inconvenient. The overall customer service was lacking in basic courtesy and attentiveness. To top it off, they requested us to bring the containers with our leftover food to the front counter while settling the bill, which felt unprofessional and unfriendly. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously to improve the quality of their food and service. As it stands, I would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience.
I like the food its my second time eating parotta and i loved it Thanks for the service - Chandana Ans and jeena Food : 5/5
It was very great to dine in here, sanjana and jeena both were great at service.
I frequently visit Tharavadu, and they never fail to satisfy my taste buds. The customer service is excellent, and they offer a wide variety of snacks and Kerala dishes. My personal favorites are the Porotta, Alfaham, and Mandi.
The service provided by Ans and Krupa was excellent. The food was delicious and arrived quickly. I will definitely visit again.
Food was top notch - Ann s , and Kripa was very friendly and excellent service
Nice service and food
The lady with the glasses who took my order made a mistake. I ordered lamb biryani and chili chicken, but instead I received some unclear soup that contained chicken. Additionally, no egg was added to the biryani I ordered. Overall, I think the woman with the glasses should consider a different line of work.
Amazing Kerala food !
We had a great dine in experience..Ans and Sona was serving us..they had a pleasent smile on their face which made the dine in experience more comfortable.. Kid-friendliness: It was good.
We tried kizhiporotta and it was really good. Customer service was excellent, ans was very helpful!
