Reviews for The Nilgiris Restaurant in Scarborough, ON

This restaurant is so busy, it could really use a good Renovation to increase its ambience. Quality of food has gone down.... Customer service is poor. No one really pays attention to clients because they are so busy. Tables are very close to each other.It?s very uncomfortable to eat almost everyone is watching you. Especially when they don?t have their food it?s feels so weirdto eat while someone is waiting for their food. Read more

I love the dining experience I had here. We came in early Saturday morning for breakfast. A while later, there were also other... diners coming in to do the same. The place was active and busy early on in the morning. I like how there was some care andattention given into decorating the place. There are some hanged cultural decors and displays found inside to give that sense ofauthenticity and cultural immersion. Me and my friends were able to sample a variety of meals. There was an order of plain ravadosa and mint masala dosa. The dosa came with 3 different dips or sauces. I have nothing bad to say about how they taste. I waswith a couple of friends hailing from South India and it was such a treat that we ordered the Madras Filter Coffee ($2.99) fromthe menu, and they showed me how to properly mix and stir the coffee. Overall, it was a good, memorable meal. I will considerthis place next time I want some authentic Indian dining experience. Read more

Ridiculously delayed service. We were there for almost 2 hours for out breakfast ona Sunday morning and all our ordered were... messed up. We didn't even get some that we ordered. I saw at least 10 people there for service and none of then we're managedproeoy. Terrible management I would say. I really wish I could give 4 stars because the food was awesome. One of the bestpongals I had in recent times. Read more

Very decent restaurant that serves authentic South Indian food. The ghee dosa is to die for: aromatic, crispy, tangy and creamy... with generous potatoes stuffing. Their rice dishes are also very flavorful. No reservations so come early as customers fill upthe place quickly. Good service and food is served quickly. Read more

Amazing South Indian / Sri Lankan food at very economical prices. Lots of varieties of dosas and idlis all cooked to... perfection. Finish it all off with filter coffee. I especially love their different chutneys and spice levels. Service wasalso excellent. Read more

This simple yet super popular authentic South Indian restaurant shouts out and says, don?t mind my surroundings but taste my... food. The seating is basic no frills and simple, but the food speaks volumes. One of the best restaurants for South Indiancuisine in GTA. The dosas and idlis are made to perfection, the sambhar is finger licking delicious and chutneys are fresh andtasty. They sell Idlis by 10/20/50s or more. Great value for buying for parties. I?ve eaten here multiple times and each time Ifeel I wish I could eat more. It?s paradise for South Indian food lovers. A must visit for good vegan vegetarian authenticfood. Service is quick and efficient ( sometimes it may be delayed ) but even with a wait I love this restaurant. Read more
