Tracking Toronto's newest, independent, registered restaurants

Sri Lankan and Indian takeout has registered on Passmore Avenue in Scarborough, in a neighbourhood with a documented South Asian diaspora and competing Tamil and Bangladeshi kitchens. The menu spans both cuisines without settling into the generic: Sri Lankan Kothu Parotta (flatbread torn and stir-fried on a hot griddle) and curry preparations sit alongside Indian biryanis and Tandoori items, a format that serves the area's multicultural base without claiming singular allegiance. Passmore between Birchmount and Warden has become a working corridor for quick South Asian lunch orders this kitchen enters a field where differentiation matters, the Sri Lankan half of the menu is the draw, particularly for Tamil and Sinhalese workers on the east side of Scarborough. The Kothu Parotta remains the technical showcase: a flatbread dish that rewards speed and griddle precision the kitchen's operating focus.
