| - Nestled in the corner of what I call the "Octopus" plaza, Nantha Caters is super value + very spicy Sri Lankan and South Asian food. This has a family run vibe, but obviously they have another location along Finch/Warden as well.
What I Got: kothu roti, mutton special
What I'd Get Next: mutton rolls, and more kothu roti.
As the name implies, their focus is on the catering part of the business; dine-in is extremely limited, and from what I see, virtually everyone gets takeout. They have a few ladies wandering in and out taking people's orders and part of me always worried they would mix up or forget my order since I don't think anyone actually writes your order down... and lineups can be pretty long during peak hours. Don't come hungry.
But don't come full, either, because holy moly this will fill you. If you ever wanted to see a dish that I'm NOT CONFIDENT to consistently finish and still feel good about playing sports after... Here.
Get the mutton special kothu roti and LOOK AT THAT SUCKER. It is LOADED. It has one of the highest food to air ratios in a takeout container ever and sometimes I wonder how they even fit everything in.
I always get mild here and the problem is their "mild" feels like a slow burn of taste bud scorching. Or maybe I'm just soft.
But the generosity of meat, portion size and value keeps me coming back.
It's not the healthiest, cleanest option, but goodness you will not be hungry after.
