Alma’s Indian Cuisine

Alma’s Indian Cuisine brings royal Hyderabadi heritage and Middle Eastern cooking traditions to Scarborough. Located near the intersection of Warden Avenue and Ellesmere Road, the restaurant draws inspiration from the royal kitchens of the Nizams, where complex spice blends and slow-cooking methods formed the core of regional culinary traditions. Operating as a fully halal dining destination, the space offers an expansive menu bridging classic Indian subcontinental dishes with popular Levantine and Arabic preparations. The dining room provides a straightforward, welcoming atmosphere suited for casual lunches and large family gatherings alike.

First-time visitors can expect an extensive selection of slow-cooked specialties, ranging from aromatic Hyderabadi chicken and mutton biryanis to massive tandoori platters and Arabic mandi rice dishes. Soups such as the collagen-rich mutton paya and shorba are frequently ordered starters, while desserts like Qubani ka Meetha and specialized falooda round out the meal. Prices reflect family-style sharing portions, particularly for large-format meat platters that require advance preparation time. Street-level parking is available along Ellesmere Road, and online ordering is offered for guests preferring takeout or delivery.
