rev:text	This was my first visit to Babu's Scarborough location. I had previously taken food out from their newer Markham store and was impressed by the taste. Let me start by saying I am not Tamil or even South-Asian for that matter. I am a Caucasian Canadian guy who just enjoys the complex and spicy flavours of Sri Lankan food. This evening I decided to take a trip down Sheppard to try the original Babu location. Upon entering the store was obviously busy being that it was Saturday night. I stood in line for about 10 minutes and when my turn came (not before I was disregarded for family of Tamil patrons) I ordered a medium sized Chettynadu mutton and a medium size eggplant pickle (a very common Sri Lankan dish). Upon reaching the register my total came to almost $20 (which seemed abnormally high). I figured the individual dishes are more expensive than the thali/combo plates and paid up. Upon seeing my receipt it appears they charge you double the cost of the small for a medium container and triple for a large. The containers increase in size by perhaps 40-50% as you go up to medium and large. While they pack the containers full, the quantity of food for the price doesn't seem like such a good value compared to their combo deals. I suspect they overcharged me as they knew I wasn't a regular nor would I know how much the food should actually be. After all, they don't show prices for most of the hot food. Taste-wise, I enjoyed my two dishes which were both packed with flavour and had a good level of heat (Sri Lankan food is supposed to be hot). Quality-wise, the mutton was slightly fatty which may be the way it's meant to be in order to stay moist and flavourful. The one issue I have with their food is the temperature of the serving dishes. They don't keep the food at a temperature I feel is safe. Both my dishes arrived home cold despite being transported 15 minutes home in a warm car. The eggplant which came out about 2 minutes before I ordered it was not even steaming which made me question the freshness. Food temperature is very important (although some may argue the level of heat used in South Asian cooking was meant to preserve the food when refrigeration wasn't available). If you like Indian food and enjoy dishes with complex spicy flavours give Sri Lankan food a try.
