Ordered mutton rolls and a fish cutlets. The food tasted fine. The fillings for the mutton roll was good except there was barely any mutton in the roll. Maybe 2 small pieces. Taste great if I wanted to other a potato curry roll. Fish cutlets was good. A bit too salty for my liking.

I rarely write review, but I just had to write this one. I was looking for a proper south asian halal snack shop for long time, finally found one!!! They have just right amount of spices, that I missed so much after coming to Canada. Also, the snacks are so cheap! My broke self almost cried from happiness! This shop earned a new regular!

Bought string hoppers and it turns out to be very hard. I think they froze last night left over. And the Sambol was spoilt. Would never buy from here. Very disappointed.

Looked like a nice little place from outside which sells south Indian menu. So i went inside to try a couple of items to find out if its any good and if I should order a lunch or dinner from here later today. Tried 2 items - bonda (we call it batata wada) and a mutton roll. The bonda tasted like it was made long back, probably yesterday or day before that and kept there in the open all this time. The potato filling tasted very stale. The mutton roll was actually a potato roll with some mutton taste and maybe a tiny piece. Also, the outer layer of the roll was extremely dried out, again maybe because of it being cooked long back. Both the items were room temperature and not hot at all. Disappointed. Had better hopes.

So I by chance came across this place and loved their food. Absolutely delicious and flavourful. I ordered two vegetable pakoras , two different fish roles( finger food), a mutton roti, a Sri Lankan Coffee(a loved it. Got two. ) To my surprise, was only 8.00 Unbelievable price. I tried the food and did I say delicious 😋. I'm going to get some Togo take out as soon as I'm done here.

A neighborhood Srilankan/ Tamil takeout restaurant. They have both veg and non veg options. Vegetable Thali and Masala Dosa are some of their speciality. In-house backed breads are also very popular with the community. They don't have dine in option. Recently, they have changed their name from Vinushun's to Ruth's.

I called over the phone to place an order and the lady on the phone basically yelled at me for not placing the order earlier and they still had over 2 hours until close. Even if their kitchen was closed she could have said it politely. I used to get their kothu rotti all the time but I no longer will be going there. This place needs to learn how to talk to their customers. This is why they are losing business!!!

Tried the masala chai and it was very authentic, better than many cups of chai Ive had all over South Asia. Service was not stellar but Im willing to overlook that

I bought some food this restaurant recently. Really disappointed. Almost month ago change in to new management. But I noticed they try to put some new food. Specially for restaurant customer service and food quality is most important. When they took new management should know how talk with people. They put young person in front take customers order dont understand Tamil. This is Sri Lankan restaurant. Also more majority order people come and buy food too. I know now a days everything is expensive specially groceries. But new management should raise money little buy little. Right away price increases really high. Also now a days more majority people like healthy and vegetarian food too. Specially on weekends should put at least equal. If you put 3 none vegetarian then should put al least 2 vegetarian dish too. Food is so oilly dry quality is bad. Customer service terrible. Price is very high. Im not going to buy any more food at this place. I really missed previous owners. People dont waste of your time money and energy at this place. Im really disappointed frustrated angry too....

Mutton Kothu Roti was awesome!

Update: Food quality has gone down drastically in quality and flavour and prices have increased. The pakoras are all batter and barely any vegetable. They are super spicy and unedible. Original: get the samosas and onion pakoras from here all the time. We absolutely love them! Weve tried some of the other food but didnt quite like it as much. Some of their other fried goods lack filling. For example, we ordered a meat roll and as I bit into the roll, it was pretty much hollow with very minimal meat filling inside.

We have been supporting Vinushan from the start. Covid has affected you and prices have gone. We support that price increase but diluting the thosa chutney to a soup is not acceptable. I hope by this post you change the consistency back to what a chutney should be...rich, creamy spicy and thick!

This is a hub of Sri Lankan food in Scarborough that will surprise! Theres not much for dine in seating arrangement, as the restaurant is very small, but, customers are treated to a t.v. that airs a cultural treat in traditional language. No matter your state of affair, all cultures are welcome to oblige a taste of theirs for a very very filling, healthy, and reasonably priced menu. It becomes so flavored in layered spice, you wonder if there is a religiosity to the cooking. Every customer seems served prompt, happy, and obvious frequent customers arrive and go with pre-orders. These samosas are what I think might be the best in the city! - fresh, vegetarian, filling, warmed perfectly. The variety is actually impressive for a small place, and its been a pleasure to eat good food near family for years. Id definitely recommend this place!

I had ordered combo from here. Taste was good. However, it was not hot.

December 22, 2021

The young lady who serves here is very greedy. 50% of food are old stale items. She reduces the portion but charges are high. Not worth for the money. It is better to pay extra and get fresh ones. Not stale items. Keep out. Eventually you will agree with my points after some buying experience here. I stopped coming to this store.
