Alma’s Indian Cuisine

What is Alma’s Indian Cuisine? Set along a bustling stretch at 209 Ellesmere Road near Warden Avenue, Alma’s Indian Cuisine merges royal Hyderabadi traditions with Middle Eastern mandi culture. The dining room offers a clean, contemporary layout fitted with expansive table seating and warm lighting designed to host energetic family feasts. Fully halal-certified, the kitchen turns out slow-simmered Nizami recipes alongside Arabic spiced grilled meats in the heart of Scarborough's dining corridor.

Alma’s Indian Cuisine Menu & What to Order The kitchen excels at communal platters, headlined by the charcoal-grilled Chicken Al-Faham Mandi and the signature Almas Special Dum Biryani layered with aged basmati and whole spices. Start with a bowl of cardamom-scented mutton shorba or crispy broasted fish before digging into the spicy chicken ghee roast pulao. Vegetarians have solid ground with the sizzling lasooni dal tadka, and a dessert order of Qubani ka Meetha or rose-tinted falooda provides the ideal sweet finish.

Know Before You Go Table reservations can be arranged by phone or through their website, though walk-ins are readily seated during weekday lunch services. Weekend dinner crowds regularly pack the dining room for large mandi platters, so arriving early is wise for larger groups. Dedicated surface parking is available right in front of the plaza, and the 95 Ellesmere bus stops just steps from the front door.
