Kottu Roti in Toronto

Chopped godamba roti stir-fried with egg, vegetables and your choice of meat. Cooked to order on weekends.

Kottu roti is what you hear before you see it: godamba roti chopped on a hot griddle with two metal blades, mixed with egg, vegetables and your choice of meat. That steady chopping sound is the dish being made. It comes off the griddle hot, a little chewy, a little crisp at the edges, and full of spice.

What goes in it

We start with fresh godamba roti, then chop it down on the griddle with onions, leeks, carrot, egg and a spiced gravy. Add chicken, beef or keep it vegetable. Tell us your heat level and we cook it to match.

Cooked to order

Kottu is a griddle dish, so we make it fresh each time. It is a weekend item for pickup or Uber Eats delivery in range. All meat is HMA-certified halal.

Kottu in Toronto

Kottu came to Toronto with the Sri Lankan community, and Scarborough is still where you find it done properly. It is street food: fast, loud and filling. We chop ours fresh in north Scarborough and deliver within our range across Toronto.

What goes into kottu

• Godamba roti, thin and flaky, shredded on the griddle.
• Egg, scrambled straight in.
• Leeks, carrot, onion and green chilli.
• Curry gravy, so the roti stays moist.
• Your meat: chicken is standard; ask for beef or mutton.

Price and options

Kottu Roti is $13 with an egg omelette. Chicken is standard; ask for beef or mutton. For groups, kottu works well for birthdays and game nights because it holds heat and everyone knows how to eat it.

Getting kottu across Toronto

Kottu is best eaten within 20 to 30 minutes of being chopped, so Scarborough, Markham and North York get the best results by delivery. From further across Toronto, pickup or a short drive is the way to eat it at its best. Reheat leftovers in a hot pan with a splash of water.

For events, kottu travels fine in covered trays. Ask about our catering trays (small feeds 5 to 8, medium 10 to 15, large 20 to 30).

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.

Ordering kottu for a first-timer

For someone who has never had kottu, order it with chicken at a medium heat level and add a Mango Lassi ($6). Kottu is a full meal on its own, so plan on one plate per person.
