Kanga

This is literally my favorite food in the city.
I’ve had Sri Lankan food maybe twice besides Kanga, and it never touched Kanga’s deliciousness. Most of the staff dont speak English well (see: at all,) and often many of the items they have to offer aren’t on display. Which is difficult, because ordering sometimes comes down to pointing to what you want (MAKE SURE IT ISNT TRIPE. M.A.K.E. S.U.R.E. unless you somehow enjoy tripe… In which case I would just recommend digging up some worms and tossing them in hot sauce outside because it would taste similar and be cheaper.) They have different foods on different days (even different times of day)… They often have a mutton (stew?) — YOU MUST EAT THIS. If you like spicey food don’t heed their warnings that it’s too spicey (unless you are «white.») It is perfection. If you manage to order the mutton and some biryani, you will be eating my favorite dish in all of Toronto. I can’t write much more, the place is a mystery, I step in and I walk out with food somehow, and it’s always an adventure.
If you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone and roll some culinary dice, step into Kanga.
Also, best of all? Dirt cheap. DIRT. D.I.R.T.
Oh, and finally– it’s a hole in the wall… A tiny hidden hole in the wall. takeout only.
