Ordering for a Tamil family event
For a family function, most of our Tamil customers go with a biryani combo or a ghee rice combo, plus vegetable combos for vegetarian relatives. For a smaller home dinner, order puttu, coconut roti, a mutton curry and a chicken devil and share everything. Ask about our catering trays if you are feeding 5 to 30 people.
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.
Pickup tips
We are on Passmore Avenue in north Scarborough. Order direct before you leave so it is ready when you arrive.
Food for Pongal, Puthandu and festival gatherings
Thai Pongal in January and Tamil New Year (Puthandu) in April bring families together for long lunches. For 20 or more, a biryani combo works well. Some Tamil families keep festival or fasting days fully vegetarian; for those, the Vegetable Biryani Combo ($15 per person) keeps the whole table meat-free.
