The Blessed Kitchen Story: A Family Kitchen in Scarborough

We are a family kitchen in Scarborough cooking halal Sri Lankan and Indian food the way it is cooked at home. Here is the story.

Blessed Kitchen is a family kitchen. That is not a marketing line, it is a description of who is standing at the stove.

Where we are

We are on Passmore Avenue in Scarborough, in a plaza, which is where most of the best food in this city quietly lives. We are open on weekends, which is when a family kitchen is at its strongest, because that is when everyone is in it.

What we cook

Halal Sri Lankan and Indian food. Biryani, kottu roti, rice and curry, and the dishes that people from home actually miss. We cook them the way they are cooked at home, which means roasted curry powder, coconut milk, curry leaves and pandan, and heat that is there for balance rather than for show.

Everything is halal. Not some things. The whole kitchen.

What we are not

We are not a big commercial caterer. We do not have a slick room. What we have is a family that has been making these dishes for a very long time and has gotten very good at them.

Catering is most of what we do

Weddings, corporate lunches, engagements, aqiqahs, iftars, funerals. Feeding a room is what this food was built for. Biryani and curries hold their heat, they scale without losing quality, and a proper tray of them reads as generous in a way a plated dish never does.

Catering starts at 20 dollars per person with a 20-guest minimum, and we deliver across the GTA.
