Biryani Takeout in Scarborough
Biryani boxed hot and ready. Call ahead for weekend pickup from our Scarborough kitchen.
Biryani is made for takeout. It holds its heat, the rice stays moist, and it only gets better as the flavours settle on the way home. We cook ours fresh in Scarborough: long-grain basmati layered with marinated, spiced meat and steamed together.
What is in the box
A generous portion of basmati cooked with whole spice, layered with slow-cooked meat, and raita on the side. Choose chicken, mutton or lamb, and tell us your spice level.
How takeout works
We cook on weekends. Call ahead and pick up from our Scarborough location, or order Uber Eats delivery in range. All HMA-certified halal.

Taking biryani home the right way
Biryani is one of the few dishes that is arguably better 20 minutes after it is packed, because the rice keeps steaming in the container. Keep the lid on until you are ready to eat. If you are reheating later, add a spoon of water, cover it and warm it gently in the microwave or a covered pan so the rice does not dry out.
Sizes and prices
- Biriyani, $12: one portion, chicken, beef, mutton or vegetable, Northern Sri Lankan style.
- Biryani combos for 20 or more: roughly $20 to $30 per person (quoted on menu and headcount), with sides and dessert.
- Lamb biryani is also available. Call or text to order it.
What comes with Sri Lankan biryani
Sri Lankan biryani is served with sides that balance it. Eggplant moju is fried eggplant in a sweet, sour, spicy pickle. Pineapple curry brings sweet heat. Maasi sambal is a fiery, crunchy sambol made with dried Maldives fish. Acharu is a tangy pickle of fruit and vegetables, and yogurt sambal cools it all down. Our combos include them, so every plate tastes the way it should.
Make it a meal
Add a chicken devil ($12.99) or chilli chicken ($14.99) for the table, and finish with vattalappam ($15).
Ordering biryani for a family
For a family of four, two or three Biriyani portions plus a devil and a vegetable side usually feeds everyone. For 5 to 30 people, ask about our catering trays (small feeds 5 to 8, medium 10 to 15, large 20 to 30). For 20 or more, the per-person combos come with sides and dessert.
Allergy notes
Some of our dishes contain egg (kottu, egg masala, watalappan), dairy (yogurt sambal), fish (maasi sambal is made with dried Maldives fish) and nuts (green pea cashew curry). If anyone has an allergy, tell us when you order and we will tell you what to avoid.
