This place been there for a long time and offers same quality food. One of my usual take out go place. Their snacks and food resembles traditional tastes

October 27, 2024

The workers don't have any sense of speaking with customers. Owners must give them extra training how to behave with customer either on phone or in their shop. THIS REQUIRES URGENT ATTENTION OF OWNERS PL TAKE ACTION.

Ordered a half box for my mom and I. They put literally 4 pieces of okra and not enough of the curry for the price we paid. Been coming here for 15 years. When my elderly mom called to complain the owner was rude and started yelling at her. This guy has a bad temper. DO NOT GO HERE.

75 cents fish buns lol we got the veggie banana leaf special, mutton rotti wrap, onion rotti wrap, a few round donuts and 75 cents fish bun, and what we got was a 3lb takeout enough for 4, for a whopping $13.50... will definitely come back to try their meat special next time

If you want authentic Sri Lankan food, this is a must try. My family usually gets lunch here, we swap between the Chicken Biryani on Banana leaf or just the Chicken Curry or Veg Curry on Banana leaf. With the Chicken Curry you also get Veggie curries with it. Pretty much rice with like 4-5 different curries on top wrapped in Banana leaf. I believe the price is like 10-12 bucks for this, but it is enough to feed 3-4 people. Best and easiest way to eat it is if you mix everything. With one bite you will get multiple different flavours all at once. Highly recommend. Prices are very fair and the food is delicious. They do run out of stuff sometimes so best to get there earlier if you can. Definitely recommended and will be back soon.

Bought Briyani today, there is absolutely no flavour and no taste. The briyani also smelled bad. Briyani is pretty much white rice with yellow colourinh. Disgusting

One of the best and cheapest takeout place for south Indian food in Scarborough. Their meals are one of our go to item. Its very simple and tasteful like home cooked food. Their masala dosa is huge but only available on Friday and you would have to get their before 4 to get one.

Customer Service is very bad at this place. I went to buy a chicken biriyani and Mutton Kothu. The Mutton Kothu took more then 20 minutes and I recieved my biriyani before that. One tall lady with glasses was serving me first and then another short lady from inside came and gave me my biriyani and charged me for all the food. After 20 minutes when my Kothu roti came the Tall lady with glasses who was watching me pay before asked me to pay again and I showed her my bank receipt and she just ignored me and walked inside to ask the other lady if I paid. She came back outside and told me : you paid with her how would I know that you paid so aint my fault.! Such a rude customer service they provide and the food tasted stale also.

2022 Update: Prices increased due to inflation is understandable but not putting fork/ knife or any cutlery when you buy food is not acceptable and not the best way to cut costs. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE AMOUNT ON YOUR CREDIT CARD MACHINE BEFORE YOU TAP. It was not what I was told Food is very tasty authentic and priced competitively, if I was in Scarborough I would eat my breakfast lunch and dinner there . Taste is as authentic as you get back home in India so no complaints . Idly , fish curry , kotthu parota (roti) , chicken curry , squid and goat were all good
