A virundhu (Feast) fit for an easy Friday! If your looking for a rich and flavourful meal, on a banana leaf in traditional Eelam Thamil culinary style, Babu’s has got you covered. They have a special on Friday, and the meal is enough for 2-2.5 people. Trust me, you’ll be full half way through. They add all the trimmings and you get to select rice and curry options while it’s prepared right in front of you. The payasam and pukkai at the end is the best. Try pouring it onto your banana leaf and eating it that way. For the authentic experience, you’ve got to toss the cutlery and eat it with your hand. It’s drool worthy! Oh, wrote I forget, if your looking for non-veg options, they have those options too. Just ask!
I ordered 9 breakfast combos for my office staff.. Whn one staff was having , she told me there is something so hard to bite .. I asked her there shouldn’t be , she took it out and there was a huge coconut shell piece in the sambal and so my other colleague experienced the same incident.. which was so terrible it could be life threatening as they could have got choked if they taught they should eat it .. I was happy I was there and could stop it his horrible incident.. as this is not their culture food so they didn’t know abt it .. Whn I called Babu restaurant the girl only said I am sorry that’s it … no regrets.. Whn I asked to spk to the manager she took my number and said he will call u , it’s been 2 days I am still waiting.. I am so disappointed with they way they handled the food service…
Friendly Staff and Good Customer Service. Vada really Great and 2 for $1. Breakfast Combo available until noon. Babu catering place open 6 AM in the morning. overall atmosphere okay. Also South Indian snack mixture package and BREADS are available. Great place for Vegetarians and Non-veg food lovers. Delivery available too
Very disappointed with the order of 3 veggie kothu I oredered today. You guys should stick with one curry on the kothu instead putting a mixture of curry’s to make the kothu is a turnoff. We found pumpkin,cauliflower,beans,big slice of carrots in the kothu. Roti as the main ingredient was very less.in my opinion total waste of money the person making it should know better,customers are paying for a quality product and it’s a disappointment that Qualitywasnt meet.we order today September 13th 2024.my family bought 3 kothu only ended up eating 2. I hope management at babu realizes this and changes the product. I was not happy eating this kothu which set me back $36.will try different srilankan restaurant.hope babu management fixes these issues for future customers.
Best place to get fresh and quality food in large quantity for reasonable prices. It’s a take-out place. It gets super busy during peak hours.
Bought a Nethali pittu mix combo, it’s including fish fry. and cheap as well($6.00). I opened the box and very shocked. I believe they split the fish into two pieces. Still I’m wondering. How did they split the fish. Seems like not hygiene, called them back and they want me to bring it back but I don’t(my time and gas). I didn’t touch the food and threw up in the garbage bin.
I ordered the sura pittu with fish curry and fish fry combo. To my horror, the fish fry was served uncleaned and uncut, with the insides still intact. Absolutely disgusting. I will never visit this shop again and strongly advise others to avoid it. Completely unhygienic.
One of the GREAT Takeout and Catering place in Scarborough and Celebrating 30 years in December 2023. Always busy with Indian food Lovers. Friendly Staff and Good Customer Service. Everyday Food Special Available. Vada really Great and 2 for $1. Breakfast Combo available until noon. Babu catering place open 6 AM in the morning. This place dark and not well organized, overall atmosphere okay. Also South Indian snack mixture package and BREADS are available. Great place for Vegetarians and Non-veg food lovers. Delivery available too.
Good breakfast. 2 paratha and omelette for $5+ with hot chai.
I had the Chicken Briyani, the Chicken Kothu Roti, and the Burfi here. All were fairly nice, with my favorite main being the Kothu Roti. For that Kothu Roti, it had pretty good spice to it, and tastes pretty comforting. It is fairly dry, almost like ours a bit old or so. Ill be fair and say that I havent eaten Kothu Roti much before, so I dont have a good comparison point. But other than the sense that it was maybe a bit old/dry (helped, though, by the good sauces they give), I liked it, and would try something like it again. The Briyani is good, if you like something with bone-in Chicken pieces in it, though I felt it was even drier than the Kothu Roti. The burfi was the dessert I got, and I liked it quite a bit. It was pretty creamy (I think thats the best way I can describe the taste), and works particularly well after a spicy dish here. Everything here was decently cheap for the amount you get; the Kothu Roti is $12 CAS, but you effectively get 2 peoples worth of food, in my view. Overall, its a decent place to check out, and Id be interested in trying more items another time (they seem to have a lot).
Bad
Good food and good service
Tasty food with perfect quality and quantity. Customer experience is good. Overall a good recommendation.
Food was really good, restaurant was very clean and friendly staffs.
I ordered a breakfast combo, but it was very disappointing. The food lacked taste, wasn t fresh and didn t feel worth it at all.
Good customer service.
Nithin is a nice guy who patiently took my order even though I was taking much time in modifications..overall good service from Babu Catering
They dont have the food consistency someday good someday bad. Pretty much hit and miss. I tried Chicken and mutton briyani few times not really impressed. Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessibility.
Special kottu was good until today it s just roties not mixed. they have to hire new person
This is $17?? They must have used the most expensive salt, and added it a pinch more.
If there was any option of giving review below 1, I would have given 0. They serve food which is cooked 3, 4 days back after eating mutton biryani and home made style dry chicken I had fallen sick. Never gonna buy anything again from this place.
This is an excellent restaurant for traditional food and halal food
Good food and good service
Good food good service very good staff . Got my order very fast. Thank you babu Kid-friendliness: Very good Food : 5/5 |

Great food
Great service
Great service
Awesome food. Goodnportions, and usually very good service.
Very good experience
I came here for the first time and it was lovely and kumar was very kind and helped us to take tasty food
We accidentally ended up with Babu restaurant on my recent trip to Toronto, and I was stunned with the quality food they provide at such a competitive price. We ordered 4 combos, which was enough for 10 people. Another thing to mention is the service. They will ensure we get the best from there and its value for money. Vishal, the person at counter, surprised me with his customer centric approach. Will be back again on my next trip. Would recommend for anyone looking for South Asian cuisine.
I only buy the vegan options from here. Kothu and Samosas. I think the food is yummy but the cleanliness is questionable. I still go but most recent time I went, it was worse. Perhaps they need renovation and air conditioning. It was hot and a lot of very sweaty employees.
Excellent space to experience South Indian dishes
Tasty food at affordable price but make sure you count your items
Babu catering is the best South Indian food I ever ate in Canada . Very affordable and good staff especially a guy called vishal . Very polite and good service
Amazing restaurant I always buy here food since 2 years . Very affordable very friendly young staff . Ravi is amazing friendly and polite
I drove all the way from Caledon literally a one hour drive to get food here. 30 minutes before arriving I called and asked if they had lamp rice and the lady said yes but they didnt have sprats. Then 10 minutes before arriving I called again to confirm and a male answered. He said they did not have some items but they had majority of the items for the lamp rice. After arriving the lady who is the manager i think was so arrogant and rude and said they dont make lamp rice after 10pm. She also said that all the veggie curries are finished. But I saw the curries on display and called her out. And for that she said the curries are spoiled after 10pm. Why would a restaurant have spoiled curries on display? And why would you lie and make customers drive all the way down? On top of that the employees were speaking rudely. Completely disgusting.
Their breakfast combos and small bites are a good bang for the buck.
Need to improve service and quality of food. Need more Hygeine codes to follow.
Senthooran behind the counter is extremely polite, courteous and helpful and since this was our first time, he answered all our questions without showing any haste. Thanks a lot Senthooran for your service and this is a great place to savour the authentic flavours.
They always forget to pack something or the other.
Best restaurant good customer service
Delicious food at best prices also service is too fast
Very tasty and delicious food.

Excellent service by kavi
Food was horrible and terrifying as always! But the Service by Nidhin Krishnan is Fantabulous! Much Respect

Amazing value for food and great service from my guy Raman. Such a great find.
Everytime I have been there the experience was amazing and great customer service. The food is delicious as well just very spicy if u chose that option. Raman has been my server and provides excellent service each and everytime. Overall 10/10 price is 10/10 very affordable with decent sized portions
Best breakfast combo i had ever The dosa idily vada with chaya combo is one of the favorite and coming to customer service also its great. Special mention for Nidhin who take care of most of my orders. I am totally satisfied with the food and customer service. Food

Very good service, Friendly staffs and met anish who was very welcoming.
Murli served us really well, he was quick and efficient, would highly recommend.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Babu s Catering Services in Scarborough, and I must say, the experience was fantastic! The dishes are authentic, flavorful, and truly a delight for the taste buds. Each dish was prepared with care, capturing the essence of Tamil cuisine. I also want to give a special shoutout to Nithin, who provided exceptional service when I placed my order. He was friendly, efficient, and made sure everything was just right. It s clear that Nithin takes his job seriously and goes the extra mile to ensure customers have a great experience. If you re looking for a place with delicious Tamil food and outstanding service, Babu s Catering Services is a must-visit. I ll definitely be back
Best customer service provided by Antony. Very friendly! Will be back for more.
It was nice experience. polite staff Anish made my delivery on time and great attitude
Got the lumprais, chicken mutton, and seafood along with weekend special kothu with chicken leg on banana leaf. Best srilankan food in town!
The damus mutton briyani is too good. Like typical chennai briyani.. Do checkout this place in Scarborough.

Best place to eat out and specialize in desi food in Scarborough really loved their originality in taste

Must try the Ambur Biriyani here. The most authentic Tamilnadu style Biriyani available here.
Food is good, amazing taste
Has a variety of options for a reasonable pricing. Fast service and friendly employees.
I bought chicken biriyani and felt like tasting home made biriyani after long time . Enjoyed the meal .
Enjoyed the veg biryani. Had an authentic flavor TN style .

This is one of the best South Indian restaurants in Scarborough. I love the food and service given by murli.
Good food and customer service
Its a very good place to hangout with friends and its budget friendly.
I ordered 12 samosas and i got 9. They were undercooked. The dough was raw. The place is not clean and all screens were black there is no menu to refer to. Not recommended
Food was great. Quick service. Has lot of varieties.
So budget friendly with food worth the prive u pay they even have good weekly combo and the staff is very friendly and good quantity and murli was very kind. Must visit
Kutty Kavin services are good and he behaves respectively and also the food is good.

Cashier Kavin took my PH order. Fast service. Food is delicious.
Nithin excellent service and food ....
It was My good experience visiting babu, I took breakfast combo that was under my budget. One punjabi girl served me nicely she provided me excellent service and showed me discounted things. Overall good experience thanks.
I had an incredible takeout experience at this restaurant! Unsure of what to order at first, I was fortunate to be assisted by Tanmeet kaur, the attentive and knowledgeable server, who guided me through their most popular dishes. I decided to try the lamb biryani, which was bursting with flavor, and the idli sambar, which was absolutely delicious. To top it all off, their coffee was a perfect finish rich, smooth, and simply amazing. I can t wait to return for another memorable meal!
Food price is not ok compared to another stores. And the portion is too small compare to other stores. Last time I bough a puttu mix For work It gone bad next day I kept it in the fridge Still, I can t eat next day. Food : 3/5 |
Excellent foods and services! One of the best Thamil Food in Canada. Incredible Menu and the prices are pretty reasonable. Parking: Scarborough
Super delicious food. Excellent customer service by Anish
Updated for 2024, still going strong. Good food at a good price. Despite the long queue of customers, they have enough people to process the orders as soon as possible. However it may be difficult to get parking in the plaza at times.
I just had a great experience getting the food ordered. Great customer service.
Good experience
Nice food and i enjoyed it
Great prices, good food and good customer service.
Good service with a smile by Kavi! Tasty food :) Food
Kavin is super helpful and food quality is great. Best uzhunnu vadai in town
Vegetarian options: Too many options for vegans Food
The chicken roti was really good. The roti was nicely cooked with a crispy exterior and soft inside. The chicken filling was tasty and well-seasoned. The portion size was generous, and the dish was satisfying overall. Adding a bit more seasoning or a side of chutney could make it even better.
i meet 2 guys very good service and food is good Food
Awesome place for Indian food. We love to takeout idli sambar etc. They make it fresh. I highly recommend this place if you love authentic South Indian food.
Nice experience; Lucky who took my order received me the way I wanted; very considerate with my requests and professional. Ordered Mutton biryani and Chilli Fish; filled in my order with not junk but real meat pieces; makes me want to come back. Happy that I have visited.
Great place. Affordable food with great atmosphere.
Awsm customer service, Server Kavi is really nice guy. I found place clean and people very friendly.
Very tasty and extremely good customer service
Such yummy mutton rolls and superb customer service
The food is very good, at a better price. Idli,s are the best.....
Lots of options, good samosas
Good customer service. Good food. The price is cheap.
good customer service
I tried the break fast .. the food was really tasty . love their chai .. highly recommended
I have visited babu catering today for my meal and I was being served by Murli. I have received a great service I have even gotten before. I am quite impressed with the quality of food and taste as well.
Chicken biriyani was good.. murali gave us a good customer service
I would give more than 5 if I could, for the customer service experience. Mr Kumar (Kavin Kumar) was the best, he was helpful, polite and assisted with a pleasant smile. Needless to say, mutton briyani was delicious. Although I have visited multiple times in the past, the customer service by Kumar made me give a 5 rating review today. Thank you.
Chicken Biriyani was good and the service provided by Murali was great.
Good food and customer service
Good food and great customer service Loved it Food
I have been served by piranavan today at the restaurant. He served me well and the service which has been provided was amazing.
Good food and customer service.
I bought paal appam and some mutton rolls. Both were spoiled, had to throw them out. This place used to be solid back in the day. Never again, that s for sure.
Best
Order fish lump rice and the fish scale was not cleaned couldnt give it to kids. Bought 2 parotta and it was completely dry mutton biriyani had tiny bones all over it again couldnt give it to kids and taste was less than average. Spent almost $50 what a waste of money. Completely disappointed with this visit.
I just ordered food from uber and food is too delicious and reasonable price much better than other restaurant I tried
On one instance we got Thali which was literally rotten. The rice and the vegetables were stale. Recently, we got samosa mutton - it was literally filled with dough and no masala filling in it.
Today I bought mutton rolls from babu catering but there was no mutton, only potatoes. Please explain what happened.
Poor quality, unhealthy food. Not truthful.
Pls dont buy biriyani here. Bought Ambur biriyani just now, I have had Ambur biriyani before, actually the place is near Chennai, India. These guys call it Ambur biriyani but tastes like masala rice with mutton. Yuck. Pls go to silver spoon, opposite to babbus instead. They know how to cook biriyani, wanted a change but regretting. Babbus is good for srilankan side dishes and snacks... If you still want to buy masala rice pls go ahead.
We got takeout. The place was very hot. Not comfortable for clients or staff. The food has deteriorated from what we had 4 yrs back. All 65 items tasted the same- chewy, dry and tasteless. Tandoori was extremely dry. Only the service was reasonably well. This place is a NO for us next time.
Unorganized and old food, i was in line waiting to order another cashier comes out to help and takes an order from a guy from the bqck of line just coz he is also indian, ignores the other non indians who are infront of the last guy including myself. When I finally did get my food it was so old it tasted rotten. Will never buy from here again. Disgusting
Tasty food good potion and worth for the cash spent
We ordered 3 cream buns and all of them were non-edible. The cream bun was yellow and oil was dripping out of it. We asked if the cream buns were fresh, the worker said it was. We also ordered mutton rolls but it was old. My brother and his family from London thought that your restaurant was good. Very big disappointment. Was expecting better from you Babu Takeout and Catering. Dont reccomend this.
Always the same foods.Is unhealthy foods.but same people like it.
Very good South Indian food. Must visit.. Food : 5/5
I bought a mutton, Kothu ,Monday special and mutton biryani. I am very disappointed, I hope they mix whatever the leftover from the weekend they mixing up there s no flavour It sucks.
Excellent food and service from Kavi.
Good place for Srilankan&Indian foods Services are very good & there is a guy name Kavi is good mannered and socialist person Food
Kavi had good service!
Thank you Kavi for the wonderful service
Kavin good customer service thank you
Singapore noodles and Malaysian noodles are extremely good here and breakfasts combo .. have a visit here definitely
We went for breakfast and served by Kavi, he is very helpful and kind.His customer service is outstanding. Amazing woke
Good breakfast option in Scarborough. Anish provides best customer service during busy lineup for breakfast orders taken in timely manner.
Foods great! Aneesh gave us the best experience
Good food and fast customer service by kavina
Food was good! I like the spiciness!This is the first time I visited this place and and I remember the server name was Neha, who treated me and my children well!! I recommend this restaurant.
Good customer care
Babu take out is always my first choice of prefernce in scarborough for authentic cusines at less rates with heavy quantity. Im a huge fan of mutton kothu and fish soup. Moreover workers like Samsan Antony and their easiness in delivering foods fastly makes it top notch. I would surely recommend
Good place and good atmosphere. Service by Samson was excellent
The service and the food quality was amazing every time I visit there. Special thanks to Aneesh for his friendly and quality service
Food was good. Everytime I got nice food with taste. And the server Aneesh was too good for deal with it. Thanks
Babu catering is now one of the best Tamil restaurants to explore your food in Scarborough. They have the unique Taste of Thamil eelam. You guys should visit it. And especially the customer service is too good at there..One guy called nithin was taking care of us when we visited and he was so friendly and quick with the orders..Thank you babu Catering for this good service and experience.
I had a great takeout experience at Babu catering and thanks to the server named Mohammed, he handled my order quickly and he make sure that everything was packed neatly. Apart from that, he was so friendly and well behaved.
Been eating here for a long time . Every single item u can trust it will taste good and the price is so affordable
The customer service and the whole atmosphere was great everytime I visit there. Special thanks to Kavin for his friendly service
I m a regular customer come here all the time, Kavi is the best. Food is always fresh
Kavi was very helpful with great customer service
Best place to buy take-out food in Scarborough. Ive tried pleanty of such places but this is the best. They have special food each day which is available at so cheap price. My favourite is their breakfast combo which only cost about 6 dollar for everything including tea.
Fantastic food, service and cleanliness. I came all the way from Norway and it exceeded all my expectations. I was met with enthusiastic employees, tasty tamil delicacies and colourful beverages that brought me back to my childhood. I would recommend anyone in Toronto to take a quick trip over here and experience this great pillar of the canadian community.
Great food and service! Loved the traditional tamil food, especially the briyani. Would come back anytime!
Ive ordered samosas, meat inside samosas was expired and smells soo stinky Dont dare buying anything from here Food
Food here is generally spicy . Their bread , surprisingly, is excellent . Good but spicy crab curry Parking: Got to be careful here when getting in or out of your parking spot as driving through is tight at times
Always the most economical choice. Food is a little above average. Last time I visited was in the morning around 7 am got the masala tea and Mutton and fish buns. Tea as always was superb and if you can handle the spice, the buns are amazing.
Tremendous food with a cheapest rate in Toronto for south indian food. Delicious taste and adequate quantity. I recommend to try their idli breakfast which is around 5$ and consists of 4 idli 2 mendu wada, sambhar, coconuts chutney and coffee. Really incomparable and its open as early as 6:00 am.
If you have dentist appointment, cancel it. Eat paruppu vada from Babu catering and you dont need dentist lifelong. Humble suggestion to Babu, please change the name to Kallu Vada instead of parupu vada
Price cant be beaten Parking: Just get inside from the next plaza and turn around as the entrance for this plaza is cumbersome and one can find number of parking spots in and around Food : 5/5 |
You get what you pay for...
Rude staff, they dont know how to interact with customers. Never visiting again
Sri Lankan Tamil food
Poor quality. The manager is absolutely rude and changes prices all the time. Owner quotes the price according to what is listed on the menu but the manager makes up his own. He yells, laughs and looks down upon paying customers. Very unprofessional. On top of that, the front staff is absolutely clueless and lack common sense. Food is unnecessarily spicy and tasteless. I know srilankan/eelam spice this is not it.
OG Kothu spot. Was surprised to see a Kothu special on Mondays. I believe it was $5.45 for mutton or chicken kothu roti...do note that its not the silver tins, its a white styrofoam container thats a bit smaller.
I went to Babu catering for the first time today and the service was extremely good. The food tasted amazing and the location was super clean. I will definitely come here again and I highly recommend trying them out.
I wish I could give zero for customer service.. I went to Babu to take away dinner for my children.. I had worst experience the serving guys are so RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL.. they didnt pack food properly i took 2 kotu roti ONE meal ... kotu roti one was propley closed and another box wasnt closed properly my entire food was in bag when I called Scarborough location they said its not our problem u didnt handle ur food with care , i told him i travel by car not in ttc ..the person on call said he doesnt care what happens once food leaves. I WAS JUST COMPLAINING MY ISSUE AND THE GUY ON CALL SAID ITS UR PROBLEM HE PUT FULL BLAME IN ME HE WAS RUDE I asked the guys name he didnt say his name I asked manager he said he doesnt care and he hung up phone 3 times on my face SEE THE PIC UPLOADED .. I M DISAPPOINTED THE WAY GUYS WORK THERE VERY RUDE NO PROFESIONAL ATTITUDE I WISH THEY IMPROVE ON CUSTOMER SERVICE Another past incident they forgot to pack my rolls Another incident too much salt in food and didnt take responsibility I IGNORED ALL THE ABOVE I WOULD HAVE IGNORE THIS INCIDENT AS WELL BUT THE GUY HUNG UP ON ME 3 TIMES ... AND HE CLEARLY SAID I WILL KEEP HANGING UP ON YOU I WAS LIKE REALLY??? THIS IS UR ATTITUDE? ATLEAST SAY SORRY UR FOOD FELL NOT ASKING COMPENSATION WAS EXCEPTING A SIMPLE SORRY People serving food there have so much attitude Babu needs to make sure to hire good people
