We recently discovered this place and are so happy we did! Such friendly people! The samosas are 4/$1!! And they're so good, not too greasy which is awesome. We recently tried one of their combo meals and it was great. You get so much food for $6-8! Looking forward to trying more! read more

New hours opening at Noon - due to Covid-19 . Noticed that they have gone to plastic takeout containers. Hope that they go back to the aluminum container kept the food much warmer. Food is packed better in the metal container. Service could be faster but the kothu roti is always good! read more

After reading reviews I decided to check out the Kothu Roti (chilli chicken) and had it delivered. Was so hungry and excited but ended up full and disappointed. First it was warm I'll chalk that up to the delivery but it was dry as dust and flavourless plus over cooked. Must have been sitting under a heat lamp all day so maybe only have for lunch? I ordered for dinner and also ordered a chicken samosa which was cold and dry. Won't order from here again! read more

I remember my parents struggling to Bring their homeland food into our household. But everything they tried seem to go straight into the garbage. It just wasn't right. This place served the best Sri Lankan, Indian food. The samosas are my personal favorites they were not as greasy as my moms . My father brings them home every once in a while and every time he does my three other sibling and I devour them before my mom could even take a look at what my dad brought home. The drink variation is also amazing there are so many option and on a hot summer day it is the perfect place to get a necto or mango juice. read more

Staff is taught how to lie instinctively at both the Ajax and Scarborough Locations. Absolutely dishonest and ready to misguide you on almost any question asked! I asked for hot samosas one evening, they said they are not making any for the rest of the day and the cold ones on the counter are all they have. Hardly 30 seconds later another staff comes and empties a load of hot fresh Samosas. The lying staff member smiles shamelessly on eye-contact post fact! Next I asked for hot rolls; they re-fried cold ones from a few hours ago and handed me darker ones. Upon questioning the staff, they said rolls come out dark when fried and become lighter as they cool down, which is BS! Quality of food served is seldom good and this has happened to me repeatedly at both locations. It's a disaster of a food service depending on how lucky your day could get! I'm not eating from here again! read more

Food is good for Ajax Sri Lankan eats. Rolls and biriyani are the best. Also sell a huge variety of frozen foods for out of towners.

Delicious selection of Sri Lankan foods. Very friendly staff. Bonus - you can eat in, as there is a seating area; cafeteria style. Noodles, rice dishes, rolls, samosas, rotis - and so much more. Love their stronghoppers and pol sambol As a Sri Lankan I can attest this place is the real deal! read more

Except Samosa nothing tastes good. Ordered biriyani and it tasted like tomato rice. Chicken was not fully cooked. The quality of food is bad. And no I don't recommend this place read more

Do not go here!!! Worst Sri Lanka food. Quality has really gone down. If you do go there make sure it's fresh. I have noticed a lack of fresh food made during the day. So if you get to the place after work know you're getting food that's been sitting since morning. I went one evening at 7 20 and they didn't have any more mutton curry and wasn't making anymore. All other dishes they had looked very poor as well. Go to samosa hut in ajax, way better !!!! read more

You know this place is good when most of the people in queue/line-up are Sri-Lankan and South Asian.....Wow!! thanks to the one person who reviewed this place before me (the first reviewer)... I read your YELP review and headed on over to check it out while I am still in Ajax. Canbe Food is packed with a steady flow of customers coming and going and why?....cause the food is excellent. It was only 5:15pm on a Monday and super busy ... excellent selection of food items (overwhelming when you are not too sure what you are in the mood for). We got the Chili Chicken, Chicken Curry and Chicken Biryani combo - generous portions, excellent spice rating (real deal spice) - busy place, staff super helpful and friendly and go out of their way to describe the individual dishes. 2 Huge servings for $18.08 of combo for 2 people. Big thanks to the guy from Oshawa in the line-up next to us who was super helpful in what to order (now I understand why he drove all the way from Oshawa for this grub....its very good). Another plus for Ajax having this place ( I am only the second person to review considering this place is the busiest place in the new mall I expect more reviews with good writeup's forthcoming from others).... absolutely a must try (Ajax just keeps getting better and better "food-wise"). The food is in those buffet style hotplate's that keep food "warm"; so isn't scalding hot by any means - but still tasty none the less. Most customers were take-out (there is a seating area with a few people sitting down having food). There are frozen paratha's and frozen food items in the freezer section (that they have made). Big plus having so many ethnic places in Ajax that have good food, decent portions, good prices and excellent quality of ingredients. I noticed reviewers for their other location saying parking is sparse at their other location - note: their Ajax location has plenty of parking btw. read more

The food was amazing, large selection to temp every taste bud. I had the veggie samosas, spicy chicken and chicken birani which were all wonderful. Will definitely be back to tey some more! read more

I have gone to this location several times. Upon each visit the ladies working there are friendly and welcoming. I went with a friend who hasn't had Indian food before and they suggested some good options after asking some questions about his spice tolerance. They provide huge portions and unlike some other Indian food joints, the cooking oil in the food is at a minimum. Great prices, huge portions, tasty food, and friendly service combine to make an amazing place. For $10 (which includes a drink), you'll be full all day after having rice and two curries! :) read more

If you're in the mood for delicious SAMOSAS! this is the spot. 4 for $1 veggie. Crisp with delicious (bit spicy) filling. They also have a large selection of prepared south Indian food. The Masala Dosa is also delicious, but you need to pre order. read more

amazing food! love the yellow thin noodles and the mutton rolls

Love the food here! There samosas are by far the best! There is usually a line up on weekends but it goes pretty fast and definitely worth the wait read more

Definitely the best samosas in Durham! The staff even let my coworker pick up a batch at 10am even though they don't open until 11am because she is a regular. Great food and great service! read more

Better location then the Scarborough location, much cleaner...but for some reason the food tastes better at the Scarborough location. The Ajax location has a nice place to sit if you want to stay and eat. If the go at their peak periods be prepared to wait a bit in the line. Prices and the amount of food per order can't be beat! read more

I have been there only once I don't know i find their food tasteless and quite frankly very stinky won't go there again

The Sri Lankan food here is delicious!!The added bonus is that they have a lot of snacks, frozen food options that you can pick up for later. The restaurant is very clean with excellent restrooms and attentive staff. read more

They do not have authentic Indian style dosa's. They cater more to the Sri Lankan customers. The idllis are also not fresh, most of the times they are very hard and stale. The sambhar for the dosa is very thick which is not how it is supposed to be. read more
