Paandian Vilas

"Great place for South Indian (Tamil) breakfast. One of the very few Indian restaurants that open for breakfast. Poori combo and Pongal combo were both really good. And good portion size as well. Price is reasonable too (~$10 per person). The place is also clean, and has a couple of restrooms."

"Had a great dining experience at Paandian Vilas. The restaurant has a pleasant ambience, and the staff were warm, attentive, and very friendly throughout our visit. We started with a refreshing Lime Soda and water. For appetizers, we ordered the Sambar Vadai and Kalaki, and both were excellent. The Sambar Vadai was soft and flavorful, while the Kalaki was perfectly prepared and packed with taste. For the mains, we had the Nool Parotta with Small Chicken Curry and the Ghee Roast Dosa. Both dishes were delicious and full of authentic South Indian flavors. The Nool Parotta paired beautifully with the rich chicken curry, and the Ghee Roast Dosa was crisp, aromatic, and very satisfying. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service were all excellent. I would definitely recommend Paandian Vilas to anyone looking for authentic and flavorful South Indian cuisine."

"I had the idli and dosa combo with mutton curry after my gym workout this morning. It was absolutely delicious! The texture, flavor, and freshness were excellent, and the tea at the end was the perfect finishing touch. Special thanks to Ms. Priyanka for her warm service and spot-on menu suggestions. Her professionalism and attention to customer satisfaction truly stand out. Even the owner, Anna, was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic taste and great hospitality!"

"We recently visited Pandian Vilas in Brimley, Scarborough, and had a wonderful dining experience. We ordered chilli chicken kothu, paal appam, idli, and small fish curry, and every dish was excellent. The chilli chicken kothu was outstanding, especially paired with the salna. The salna was perfectly seasoned and complemented the kothu beautifully. The small fish curry tasted truly authentic, with bold pepper notes and a rich tamarind flavor that stood out. The highlight of the meal was definitely the paal appam—crispy around the edges, soft and fluffy in the center, and served with lightly sweet coconut milk that paired perfectly with it. A special mention to Midhu, our waitress, who was kind, attentive, and made the experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Tamil food in Scarborough."

"I’ve been here a few times and the taste has been super consistent. The price is definitely reasonable considering the quality and service when you visit. If you’re looking for a great spot for Tamil authentic food, definitely check this place out!"

"We stopped by this place recently and were really impressed! So rustic and so authentic. Their parotta was crispy and soft at the same time, and just the way it should be. Kalakki was top notch and their breakfast set was a must try."

"Satisfied my mutton koththu craving, it was spicy and hit the spot just the way Sri Lankan taste buds like it. The mutton biryani was okay, nothing special. They also added a sweet dessert, and even though I’m not sure what it was called, it tasted really good! Would definitely come again."
