Babu is probably the best known and one of the first of the Sri Lankan take out places to really catch on in the GTA. Normally we go to one in Markham but I was in the area and decided to stop in for snack at this original location in Scarborough.
Babu serves a variety of Sri Lankan and Indian dishes such as curries, briyanis, dosas, samosas, etc with the flavouring more Sri Lankan in nature on the hotter side.
All the food is already pre-cooked in the hot tables but certain items need to be ordered and made fresh such as the dosas and naans. They also sell a variety of baked and fried items as well.
If you are not sure what to get, a good item to order is the lunch special. $5.95 for the meat option gives 1 meat choice, 3 veggie choice over a huge mound of rice (brown or white, or fried). They really pack it in and is a great deal for big eaters like me! Some stand outs are the butter chicken, beef curry and chicken briyani.
The only bad thing is the ordering system can get confusing when it gets crowded as you line up, get someone to do all you selections, get a numbered ticket and then pay to receive your order. Workers are generally very nice but again gets hectic when busy as they all over the place.
3.5/5 for some good Sri Lankan eats!
