Halal Restaurant in Markham — Sri Lankan Halal Options 2026

Halal Sri Lankan options for Markham residents. What to order, catering details, and how the Sri Lankan halal scene works.

The short hop from Markham to Passmore Avenue

Most cities around us sit 30 minutes or more away. Markham doesn't. Our kitchen at 328 Passmore Avenue, Unit 59, in north Scarborough is about 10 km from Markham, roughly a 15 minute drive. That short trip changes what is worth ordering. Markham households can enjoy the dishes that are best straight off the stove, the ones we would gently steer a customer an hour away to skip.

Dishes that reward a short drive

Chilli Chicken, $14.99: boneless and crispy in a spicy garlic sauce. Crisp coatings go soft in a steamy container, so less time in the car means more crunch.
Kottu Roti, $13: served with an egg omelette and at its best within minutes of leaving the griddle.
Sri Lankan Noodles, $15: stir-fried with carrot, cabbage, green beans and curry leaves, served with kurma gravy, Sri Lankan style fried chicken and a boiled egg.
Chilli Shrimp, $18.99: jumbo shrimp in a sweet and spicy garlic sauce.

Two Saturday dinners, priced from the menu

For two

Puttu Mixed ($20) with your choice of meat, dhal curry and coconut sambal, plus Coconut Roti ($12) with beef curry and dhal curry, and two Mango Lassi ($6 each). That comes to $44 before tax.

For six

Paalandi half chicken ($40), two Biriyani ($24), one Kottu Roti ($13), one Fried Rice (Shrimp) ($23) and one Vattalappam ($15). That comes to $115 before tax.

Direct ordering or Uber Eats

There are two ways to order online. Our direct ordering page carries no app markup. Uber Eats is handy if you already use it. We are not on SkipTheDishes. Pickup from the kitchen is on Saturday and Sunday, and with Markham this close, picking up yourself is an easy option.

What you have to phone for

The online menu doesn't show everything we cook. Call or text (647) 449-2924 for these:

Butter chicken and lamb biryani. We make both, but they aren't listed online.
Price on Request specials for groups of 10 or more: Crab Curry, Tiger Shrimp Devil, Thai Lobsters Devil, Kada Devil (spicy quail), Deep-Fried Calamari, Sea Food Mixed, Chicken 65, Fish Devil and Masala Fried Beef.
Sides made on request, like Mango Curry, Green Peas Curry and Mutton Curry.

A seafood evening for ten

Those 10+ specials suit a big family dinner or a night with friends. One way to build it: Deep-Fried Calamari to start, Crab Curry and Tiger Shrimp Devil as the centrepieces, and Fried Rice (Sea Food) at $22 a plate as the base. The specials are priced on request, so ask for a quote before you settle the budget. Crab curry is hands-on food. Put out finger bowls, extra napkins and a bowl for shells. Anyone avoiding shellfish will want Chicken Devil ($12.99) or a chicken Biriyani on the side.

What goes with what

Sri Lankan plates are built from pairings, and knowing them makes a small order taste complete:

Puttu with Potato Milk Curry or a meat curry, broken up and mixed by hand
Roast Bread torn and dipped into its egg-milk curry, with coconut sambal on the side
Biriyani with something sweet and something sour, like pineapple curry and eggplant moju
Ghee rice with a kurma or korma and a spoon of acharu
Anything hot, like a devil dish, with a Mango Lassi close by

Halal certification, briefly

Our chicken, beef and lamb are HMA-certified halal. If you want to see the paperwork before ordering for family or a group, documentation is available on request.

When a Markham dinner grows into an event

Past 20 guests, per-person combos are usually the better route. quotes each event based on menu and headcount with a 20-person minimum. The String Hopper Biryani Combo (quoted for your event) is a favourite for a festive table: string-hopper biryani with chicken korma, eggplant mojo, pineapple curry, yogurt sambal and maasi sambal. Thirty guests on it is confirmed in your event quote. For smaller groups, catering trays come in three sizes: small feeds 5 to 8, medium 10 to 15 and large 20 to 30. Ask for a quote. Food arrives packed and ready to serve, and your family handles the serving.

Short drive or not, keep hot food hot until it is eaten, and put anything left over in the fridge within two hours so the next day lunch is safe to reheat.
