Experience Authentic Chettinad!

Welcome to Karaikudi Chettinad Restaurant, a family-owned destination for the authentic flavours of India.

Since 2009, we have been serving traditional Chettinad dishes in the heart of Scarborough, along with a wide range of Indian favourites prepared with traditional spices, halal meat, and fresh produce. Whether you dine in, order takeout, arrange catering, or visit from out of town, we want every meal at Karaikudi to feel welcoming, satisfying, and worth coming back for.

Karaikudi gives families, friends, and large groups across the GTA a place to enjoy a complete Indian dining experience under one roof.

Chettinad, Indian & Hakka favourites

Our menu brings together authentic Chettinad cooking, South Indian favourites, North Indian dishes, and Indo-Chinese Hakka classics.

Karaikudi’s kitchen is inspired by the traditions of Tamil Nadu, with a focus on the bold, deep flavours that define true Chettinad food. Our dishes are made with whole spices, fresh ingredients, and the time needed to bring out the taste Karaikudi has been known for since 2009.

Whether you are craving fragrant biryanis, traditional curries, crisp dosas, tandoori specialties, or Hakka noodles and fried rice, we serve a wide variety of halal meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. Our menu works well for quick everyday lunches, family dinners, and special occasions alike.
