Delicacies-Banana Leaf (Etobicoke) is one of the best indian restaurants in Toronto for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Etobicoke.

Editorial review•Jun 10, 2026

Delicacies Banana Leaf on Kipling Ave is doing something Etobicoke has quietly needed for a long time: a Tamil Nadu-focused kitchen that refuses to sand down its regional specificity for a broader crowd. This isn't pan-Indian approximation. The premise — and the name is literal — is that food arrives on banana leaf, the way it does in Chennai homes and Tamil Nadu tiffin halls, where the leaf functions as a vessel that imparts a faint vegetal perfume no ceramic plate can replicate. For the Tamil diaspora spread across the northwest end of the city, that distinction is a matter of cultural pride. For everyone else, it represents a genuinely different register of South Asian cooking than most of Toronto delivers. The Seeraga Samba Biryani is understood to be the anchor of the menu, and the reasoning is specific: Seeraga Samba is a short-grain, intensely aromatic rice variety native to Tamil Nadu — smaller and denser than basmati — which means the biryani it produces is reportedly tighter and more cohesive, each grain absorbing spice rather than merely sitting beside it. That distinction matters, and diners consistently single it out as the order to build a table around. The Ghee Roast Dosa is the other dish the kitchen is known for: the ghee roast technique is associated with a deeply golden, lacquered exterior that sets it apart from a standard dosa preparation. Chicken 65 — the fiery, tangy, deep-fried Madras street-food classic — rounds out the trio, and at this price point, ordering all three is entirely reasonable without negotiation. The kitchen runs until midnight Tuesday through Sunday, which makes this a rare South Indian spot built around late-night eating rather than the lunch rush. Skip the delivery aggregators and call direct. The move: Seeraga Samba Biryani as the centerpiece, Ghee Roast Dosa as the opener, Chicken 65 alongside. Come after 8 pm when the room settles.

Editorial review by Priya Sharma

Di An opened in a Scarborough strip mall less than a year ago and has apparently been making the downtown Vietnamese corridor look a little complacent ever since.
