Amazing food and great service. This Sri Lankan takeout restaurant is perfect for those craving bold, authentic flavors on the go. Their menu features favorites like spicy kottu roti, fragrant biryanis, and rich curries, all packed fresh and ready to enjoy. Quick service and generous portions make it an ideal choice for a flavorful meal, whether you’re dining at home or on the move. A true taste of Sri Lanka, conveniently packaged!
I stumbled upon this place by chance, and while it’s not the most visually appealing, it turned out to be a hidden gem. It’s primarily set up for takeout. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic Sri Lankan cuisine with a wide variety of options, from snacks to full meals. Plus, the prices were incredibly reasonable. I’d definitely recommend it!
Mouthwatering Sri Lankan & East-Indian cuisine served here at the best possible prices. Had mutton kothu roti - perfect balance of spice blended and the fluffy roti and slow cooked mutton just made the meal soulful.
This is an authentic tamil eatery with lip smacking snacks and quality food. Their samosas and vadas are indeed quite tasty and made afresh in the mornings and evenings. The breakfast lunch and dinner is a deal price where the items are so filling and quite sumptuous. The serving hands are also generous when they pack the parcels. Serving with a smile, this is quite a unique place for food.
They sold me old vadai, they put old vadai in oil and sell it to the public! This is dangerous, my stomach hurts and it feels like I'm going to throw up. Very bad business, we give money for good food but they are not being honest or have the decency to serve their customers fresh food. Don’t recommend this business.
Went to buy Kothu Rotti, It was very tasty and Fresh.
Bought a vada, looks like they didn't preheat the oil. The vada was very oily we can't even eat feels like throwing up, i called the shop but phone number was invalid, so we just kept it on a dining table, after few hours literally oil came out and spreaded on a dining table. So disappointing 😞.
If I had an option to give negative reviews this under zero also. The staff is so unprofessional they told me that they have masala tea but within 5 minutes as can check the pictures down that the staff was giving tea to other people because they were speaking their own language. The food is stale unhealthy and creates stomach ache. The food was cold and so pricy that nobody should even think to go in their worst nightmare too. Please avoid this store.
Usually go out for their kotthu roti, mutton roll, bun, fish paddy and masala tea. Service is good always. They also have good options for evening snack. Highly recommended!
Breakfast combo was so good
Hidden gem
Breakfast special is best
Great food, and prices. Service was fast and friendly. Sadly no seating only take out
Mutton Biriyani very tasty and seems to be a Sri Lankan Spice dishes
Fantastic authentic Sri Lankan foods
Best place for cheap and tasty South Indian snacks.
Decent place for budget eating.
I had the breakfast combo! Soo tasty!! Felt like home! :)
Tasty food and fair price.
Vada and Rolls are great. Breakfast takeout idli dosa and Vada + tea combo is unbeatable
I bought food today here . The taste is very bad and also the quantity is very less. Waste of money. I bought here first time and they disappointed. Waste of money.
Worst and unhygienic environment all items are filled with oil that has been using again and again.. bought puri and chutney, got sick . Couldn t sleep for 2 nights due to stomach ache and burping never going back again pls stay away
Always consistent. Fresh moth roti is amazing and the extra crispy rolls is just salivating.
They make some really good homely food i prefer.. them
They sell the best samusa in scarborough. These small size low price samusas are very crispy. With cha, tastes amazing.
The chapati and Chai were heavenly. Ill pass by very often and refer friends.
Amazing taste with low prices, this place never disappoints. Id go anytime for a quick tea & snacks!
Breakfast combo is the best option of all. Best value for and decent tasting... milk aapam is good but the coconut cream is a bit thick, would prefer coconut milk. Parota is nice and big. Masala dosa is big but a bit bland for my taste. Chicken kothu roti is on the spicy side. Would be able to enjoy it if it is accompanied by a gravy (serva/salna) as it gets dry. The chicken pieces used in this was from other preparations, I had a big piece which tasted with biriyani masala. These small things need to be attended to.
Very delicious kothu roti
Never Take Chicken curry here. Worst taste and all bones and junk chicken pieces.
Good Sri Lankan breakfast and very friendly staff. Also, one of the best kottu roti in town. Young entrepreneur and should encourage and support him to grow. All the best.
Samosas are amazing
Purchased a mutton roll and fish cutlet but the filling for both items were mediocre, would not recommend
Selling yesterday food
Quality and quantity is worth paying.
Taste is good but quantity is less for high price
This place has some really yummy treats.
These guys say that they open at 7 and you go at 7:40 and they said that breakfast is not ready. Ridiculous, what a waste of time and driving to this end !
Loved the service here! Very quick and most stuff is made to order yet not taking much time and the quality of the food was amazing!!! If you love Sri Lankan dosa, masala vada and stuff this should be your go to spot!! Their egg roti was next level!!!
Came here when they opened. Ordered 2 veggie samosa and a mutton roll. Bad idea. It was leftovers from the day before (they microwaved it before giving to me) and the mutton roll was more like a veggie roll until the last bite had 1 small piece of mutton
New Kalyani is a must-visit! The kothu roti was excellent, and the mutton rolls were great and super crispy. The customer service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. What really stood out was their generosity with meat - they dont skimp! Highly recommend New Kalyani for delicious Tamil cuisine!

Good food
Good food
The food here is good. Kothu parotta is famous and most selling I guess. I had chicken kothu and it s nice. Curries are also good.
Today I went to buy 2 boxes chicken kothu rotti around 4.15 pm I asked them no onions or chilli because my kids can t eat spicy but he added more spicy powder that s bad spicy smell also he made careless he put some egg shells inside the kothu rotti . I throw the kothu rotti right away also I bought some vada that one also I think they made yesterday I m really sad because I wasted my money they changed 24 dollars for the kothu rotti and 6 dollars for the Vada I wasted 30 dollars my money today really bad experience for me
Best Mutton and Beef Kothu Rotti
The food is awesome. I love the tea.
Masala tea is good
I ordered beef kothu roti and I like it , vegetables roti is good too... they have vegetarian options Vegetarian options: Have a variety of vegetarian options.
Took takeout today and the plain rice had yellow spot which looked like someone packed the rice with curry on their hand. Really disappointed and this caused me to stomachache.
spicy and tasty. fast service. Moderate priceing
The front lady thinks that she is smart. But not actually.
(Front desk lady is smart but not actually) Is anyone have the reason for that because I saw the 2reviews same regarding customer service ..And u should know the difference between a girl and a lady hilarious . If a person try to do all efforts to do the best then also saw these types of stupid review then it s done .if she thinks she is smart then of course she is because facing and handling these types of jungli people is not easy lol
Best place for kothu roti in My opinion. However I noticed the price is always different on the same items. im a daily costumer So I Noticed. I feel the cost of food is random here because even this menu they have posted for a breakfast special is missing the price. So much useless information on the poster and no price. The place also has one person working and the wait time sometimes exceeds 45 mins for kuthu even when you order ahead of time on the phone. They are not organized. Short staffed and seems like they are being over worked. The food is good though.
Everything I got was delicious. Full of spice and flavour. Just served some New Kalyani food today to a Tamil couple who told me that it was authentic, just like their mother used to make in Sri Lanka.
I used a credit card but they only accept debit and my payment declined and I was enjoying my food in my car at the parking lot. The extremely nice cashier came to me and told me to finish my meal and come inside. When I went back inside, I realized that the payment was not done and they were very nice and professional about this fact. Im impressed by the service and quality of food and also its very cheap + they have halal options. Vegetarian options: Tasty options with various menus! Parking: 4 spots Kid-friendliness: Very safe environment with proper cleanliness and regular disinfectants used.
Place is very busy but good places attract customers. Place doesnt look all that but food they sell is amazing. Highly recommend it.
Halal food. I appreciate they decided to go with halal. Im being a customer for more than 5 years. You must try egg & mutton roll which is called bomb. Food
Great food , just order ahead because of longer wait times
Excellent food Buriyani Fried rice Veggie and Non veg thali Short eats Rotties Koththu Rotty Pittu Hoppers String Hoppers
The sweet milk appams were delicious . Loved the fried rice too . I didn t like the shrimp and chicken liver but overall I would say worth a visit and I am sure after the NYT article this place will be lit Kid-friendliness: Friendly owner
Excellent food, especially the mutton curry and chicken roti
Food is very tasty
foods are tasty for affordable price
Tried Chicken Biriyani and it was good...
I went this buy the breakfast after 2 years.The body quality becomes worst and the taste is horrible. I will not recommend to any body to buy food from this store.
I love there rice and vegetables combo. The food they are providing test like homemade food.
April 9 Easter Sunday after long time went to buy some food at new kalyani restaurant. I was really disappointed. Ill say totally waste of time and money. After church finished went to buy some special Indian food at this place. When I went to check out the food customer service cashier person lady rushing me to buy food. Customer service should need more patient and try to explain properly food. Specially when people work at restaurant need more patient. I know its lunch time but after long time Im visiting. When I asked about lampraise she even didnt explained properly. One order is $15.00 +tax. I never try before so thought maybe should try. When I asked about string hopper and pittu didnt even check out right away she said no. Ill tell everyone please dont waste your time and money. There lots of other place best quality food. Also price is really too much. I know now a days everything is expensive. But if the food quality is good and taste dont mind to buy it. But today service food quality everything is terrible. Even when I bring the food home taste lampraise fried chicken uncooked inside raw. Also chicken curry put it all bones no meat. Boiled eggs bad taste. Im really disappointed frustrated angry. Im not going to this place any more. Waste of time money and service. Even I dont want to give one (*)....
Fried rice was good, but price is a bit high. Parking: Plenty of parking available in the plaza.
Amazing. My fav Tamil spot in the east end. Mutton Kothu here is the Bomb!
They dont accept credit card...
Nice chicken kothu
I tried their breakfast combo. It was good. Worth money.
My favourite place, amazing atmosphere.. Delicious food!!
Food is tasty . no complaint about food . Be careful when you get change from them . noticed several times they are repeating to all . never give receipts also . be careful
Really Good
Kalyani is your classic Sri Lankan takeout spot. They have the typical hot table setup with various curries, carbs, and short eats. It caters towards that community so the food is very authentic. Every item provides very good value. Some of my typical go-to items are the kothu roti, chicken curry,appam and any of the short eats (mutton roll, fish cutlet). Must tries - Mutton rolls & Appam
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available Dietary restrictions: Ask about specific dietary requirements Parking: Limited plaza parking Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, but only a takeout Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
Idli Medu Vada Dosa
Food is amazing and extremely affordable. Large quantities and great taste. Small store but their focus is on quality and service, which are both outstanding. Definitely deserves the high praise and rankings online.
Not that clean, I have seen this restaurant has a conditional pass on last March 16.
Good food with ample quantity at affordable price. Mostly the dishes were great and lived up yo my expectations. All in all it was a great visit. Place is hidden a little to the inside and bit dull from the outside. But lucky enough to have good quality food. Vegetarian options: They do provide veg or egg based food Parking: Enough spots for bunch of cars. Not a too rush or busy spot.
Tasty food for a good price. It does get very busy at dinner and weekends.
Very good
Hi yesterday I finished work late and on the way I went to buy some food for dinner at 11pm. I bought string hopper mixed and I came home and opened the box to eat. I noticed bad smell from it and its spoiled. I feel so bad. I came to home with fully tired and I throw the food. I always buy foods from here I dont know how this people selling spoiled foods?
The Biriyani is great!! Had a little bit of spiciness which I liked very much, as most of the restaurants offer spicy food which are not spicy at all. Overall food is of great taste!!
The place is great and has quite the variety. If you can look past the dingy location the people and the service is as phenomenal as the food.
Recommend there tea and their short-eats
Good taste
I love this place and food.
Great kothu roti!
Good kottu roti and roti. Long wait time.
Top choice for some classic Sri Lankan food. They offer everything from fried rice, stringhoppers, kottu and short eats Food
Took a while to get the order because of miscommunication. But the food! Omg so affordable, tasty and super enjoyable. Loved the fresh crispness and amazing flavors!
Very very dirty business. I bought 2 sets of appam .One yellow thin lady said to wait for appam 10 minutes .Then gave 2 set of appam and she said that they are fresh and hot. After I reached home and I open The appam very very dried look like plastic plate. Cheating and lies doing business. Then I gave back the appam and didnt get back money too. Kid-friendliness: Very bad food are given to kids.
Good uppam with coconut milk serve here Vegetarian options: Uppam with coconut milk Food : 4/5 |
Nice workers

I bought mutton koththu yesterday. I love it. Same like Sri Lankan taste. Thanks kalyani restaurant and chef.
Nice
After much hardship am I resorting to this review. Been visiting this place even when it was called Amma Catering . Although food is quite pleasant the service and practices definitely need refinement. Recent experience (Sat Sept 09 2023). After placing an order for three Kothu roti, a goat curry and a few roti whic amounted to roughly $80 because the young Indian lady decided to charge for things such as plates and sambas etc. I understand the cost of such is rising and a venue must pass on the incurred charges but a quarter a plate was interesting. That wasn t event the worst part after maybe 40 mins of wait time she didn t include the Sambal packages I paid for(3 dollars or so). I know these might seem like an honest mistake. But the kicker is, this happens often with this establishment. Once the forgot a Kothu rotti, they overcharge or change prices when paying with cash etc. If you are fortunate enough to catch this blunder their customer service is as follows. The lady we called about the Sambal after arriving at the event we purchased food for, I quote Well that was my mistake, but owners not here I can not do anything. I m busy I can give the money back next time, can you call back when managers here tomorrow then She hung up abruptly. Absence of basic customer service indeed. Nonetheless we had to record to ordering Sam Al for the even via Uber ears and another shop LOL. This will be the final visit to this establishment.
Good food for an affordable price Food
Place for spicy South Indian and SriLankan take out. They serve fresh layered flat bread. Their Samosas are good. During the busy hour, there are waiting time. Popular takeout food. No place for dining-in.
My take-out experience (a while ago) here was a bit of a mixed bag. The food was good, no complaints there. However, the girl taking the order didnt quite grasp the idea of making recommendations she seemed a bit inexperienced, and kept saying whatever you like...
Really affordable and good tasting food with plenty of options to choose from.
Ordered a tea which was very watery. After letting them know the issue, they only said Anything else Food
Not only naturally unfriendly but also lack of customer service, the front desk lady thinks she is smart, but sadly she is not. Not coming back to this place, never going to recommend for anyone Every food items were In pathetic condition, awful taste.
Kalyani kalyani than panchakalyani in Canada . All the best ...
Best food !!! From ordering big orders to small orders New kalyani has it all
The Mutton Roll is delicious, and it happens to be my favorite.
Great food, long waits
Open Late. Good customer service.
Amazing food I always go there for exotic foods. Food
I tried the mutton kothu roti as recommended by lots of reviewers and it was 10/10! The food was fresh and delicious with great big pieces of mutton and roti. Also, when you request spicy its actually spicy with lots of green chilis - I would suggest going for medium spice. Mutton rolls and mutton paratha was okay like 7/10.
Good food & bet price
There s no chicken in the chicken roll, it s like a veggie roll
Not clean much
was rudely told there was nothing available at noon on a Wednesday! she suggested i come back later after i drove 20 minutes to try it out. Terrible
The food is alright on par with all the other Sri Lankan restaurants in Scarborough
Delicious kotu roti. Make sure you call ahead with the order or you ll need to wait a bit
Can find a decent selection of Sri Lankan foods at an affordable price. Not recommended for dining-in.
Good food at an affordable price
Good food.... But really long wait time
