Karaikudi Chettinad South Indian Restaurant
Our decor is authentic but modern, adorned by reclaimed heritage rosewood pillars from the mansions of Chettinad region in South India. Bamboo lattices decorates the skylight giving the feel of dining in a portico of a Chettinad mansion. Karaikudi specializes in the Chettinad cuisine which originated from the Chettinad region of the state of Tamil Nadu in South India.

It is one of the most aromatic and spice rich cuisines of India. We offer a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The cuisine also includes many popular rice-based dishes such as biriyani, dosa, appam, idiyappam, adai and idli.

Normally the food is very good but I fear Karaikudi is changing a good thing. We normally love the butter chicken here. So much so my wife and I feel it’s the best in the city. But today, after ordering the same dish we usually do, the butter chicken sauce tasted fairly different. It is normally sweet with a very rich taste. Today though, it was salty, not as rich, and different spices were used which altered the taste. Hopefully this review makes it back to the owner as their previous sauce was the best in town. The price was also raised by about 20%, which is fine and worth it if they are still

Not so crowded. Staffs were polite. Food was authentic and tasted well. Spice levels were okay..!! They have a good outdoor seating which we can use in the season. Parota was flaky and really tasty!

Please confirm the timing of the dishes cause they have timing for certain speciality. Clean place and polite staff. Lots of south Indian were in restaurant as if they have found their regular spot for south Indian dishes. They have traditional dishes and cups if requested.

If you are fond of Chettinad spicy food then this is the perfect place to take your taste buds for a treat!
Simply loved their Chettinad curry items and parotha. And, best part is that they also serve authentic filter coffee (which is a rare find in Toronto as most places in GTA serve regular coffee on name of filter coffee.
Will surely keep visiting, specially for yhe filter coffee.

We got the Paper Dosa, Mutton Sukka Masala, Parotta and Vadai. This place is famous for their EXTRA LARGE Dosa, and boy they were MASSIVE! The Dosa came with Coconut, Tomato Chutney, and Sambar to dip in. For those of you who don’t know, DOSA is a South Indian crepe that’s crispy and went super well with the sauces. The Mutton Sukka Masala is goat meat cooked in gravy, and it was so perfect to soak up all the gravy with Parotta. Vadai is savoury deep fried Indian Doughnuts that were made from a rice batter! Everything tasted so great, and it was such

The mango milkshake and falooda weren't that great. The milk had a funny taste and falooda wasn

Nice South Indian restaurant with tasty food. I tried masala dosa and chef’s mutton fried rice which was very yummy. The ambiance and interior was good and the employees were nice. I think it’s little over priced.
