Tamil Restaurants in Scarborough: A Guide to Eating Well

Scarborough is one of the best places in North America to eat Tamil food. Whether you are craving a crisp dosai, a plate of kottu roti, Jaffna-style crab curry, or a simple, perfect sappadu, there is a restaurant nearby that does it right. Here is how to find your new favourite.

What to try

• Dosai and idli for breakfast, with sambar and coconut chutney
• Kottu roti - the sound of the griddle is half the experience
• Biryani and curries - Jaffna, South Indian, and Muslim styles all have their fans
• Short-eats and sweets - vadai, rolls, and mysore pak from the counter

Finding the good ones

The Restaurants & Catering category in the TamilHub directory lists Tamil restaurants and caterers with their location, phone number, and reviews, so you can find the closest one and see what others recommend. Many also cater, which is handy for functions and family gatherings.

Ordering tips

Weekends get busy, especially for breakfast, so go early or call ahead. Many spots do their best business through takeout and catering, so if a dining room looks small, do not judge the kitchen by it. And if you have a favourite dish from back home, ask - a lot of Tamil kitchens will make it even if it is not on the menu.
