The Tiffin Box

Amazing! I go here multiple times a month with my best friend. I can’t speak to any of the meat dishes but their vegan options are incredible and always consistent. My favourite is their soup which is loaded with veggies and spices. Cheap and delicious. The family who runs it are always very nice, hospital and grateful for your service.

We decided to give this Indian take-​out place a whirl, as it was just down the street and seemed convenient. Most reviews indicated it was cheap, with good portions. We ordered a few items, and butter chicken was one of them — as this is typically a staple in most Indian restaurants in North America… and I have to say, I was sadly disappointed. The sauce actually tasted like watered-​down Campbell’s tomato soup. Seriously.
The pricing was certainly cheap, I’ll admit that… but the quality of the food left much to be desired.

After moving to Toronto from Vancouver, we had been searching for dosas like we used to get out west. After a few different tries we discovered The Tiffin Box right around the corner from our home. While it’s not a huge menu, I think it’s a good thing as everything we’ve tasted has been delicious. The prices are also very reasonable, especially for the quality that you get.
If you’re in the Bathurst /​Bloor area and have a hankering for quality South Indian food, The Tiffin Box is definitely worth a visit.

Well spiced and well priced. This little mom and pop shop is worth a visit. Has a similar vibe to mystic muffin, you feel like your in a friends kitchen in a way. My only comment would be there should be more chicken in the butter chicken to make sure people are really getting there money’s worth. I’ll definitely be back!

delicious food, lovely people. takeout was fast and portions are huge.

Great takeout or small dining spot, the amazing smell greets you when you walk in. I had the spinach dosa. It was very filling and tasty; I had so much leftover for lunch the next day. I really liked the tomato and onion chutney served with it. The samosas were great too. Looking forward to coming back and trying a curry!

Very authentic feel and amazing cheap Indian food. This is not a place you go if you want a quick bite but if your happy to hang out, have a chai and sit down to a home cooked meal, then this is the place for you! It’s a new local favourite of mine.

What a wonderful little place! Super sweet ladies running the place and cooking. Butternut squash dosa is excellent. Dosa itself expertly and beautifully made, perfectly and evenly crisped. Limited seating and not a table service establishment. Definitely a must return!

I haven’t had such a perfect blend of spices from any south E. Indian restaurant in Toronto. Place is small and clean. If memory serves me right, all meals are under $ 10.
I ordered a Chicken Dosa, Channa Chaat (chick peas salad) and veggie samosa. Dosa and Chana Chat were both A+. Samosa filling was delicious, not a fan of their samosa wrapping though.
It is fair to say that I’ll be going back, over and over again.

This place is terrific. Works best if you can take the food away, because there’s not much seating. I recommend the dosas.

I was so pleased to find this little Indian place!
If your looking for some low-​key, delicious, cheap Indian food you’ve found the right place. It’s my new go to. Check it out!

Went here for lunch two months ago out of curiosity. The food was just okay, nothing to be raved about to be honest. However the couple who run the place are so sweet and lovely and provided great service.

The granny is sweet. The curry is delicious. I hope we’d have it in our neighborhood.

This is a husband and wife business and the couple are extremely friendly. The food is served fresh — they make it in front of you just behind the counter you can see all the pots and trays. Try the thali — either veggie or meat, and you’ll get a combination tray with some rice, roti, a daal, a veggie curry and a meat dish all at a reasonable price and best of all fresh and tasty!

Excellent little spot and I’m so glad it’s in my neighbourhood. Very flavourful and healthy food. Seems lighter than much Indian food I’ve had. Has a home-​made quality about it. Nice to have this quick, healthy alternative.

Nice homely place! The owners are very sweet. The food is all under $ 10 and you walk away full. I’ll be back soon for sure

I love the Tiffin Box! The owners are so cute and the food is delicious! I go there so often they know me now… can’t stay away! Prices are very reasonable for the serving sizes (usually lasts me 2 meals).

I’ve been a customer since they opened this past summer, and I can’t get enough! The owners are a sweet older Indian couple who have had success in the restaurant bizz previously. They are from South India and boi do they know how to make some killer South Indian food (full disclosure, I am South Indian and have been searching for a good dosa place, and I had to search no further after finding this!). They also have a selection of other Indian foods, including the famous butter chicken. I can’t recommend this place enough and would love to see it succeed. The only downside is sometimes the wait can be long because they are starting to get popular, and it is just them in the kitchen. Be patient and you will be rewarded with fresh, home cooked, delicious Indian food. If you don’t believe me, check out the post on BlogTO

Located in a small square box north of Bloor and South of Dupont it has floor to ceiling windows looking east onto Bathurst Street. There is a small open kitchen off to one side in the back where the owners, an older East-​Indian couple frantically work to fill all the orders. Everything in the place is kind of ad-​hoc including the kitchen and you can tell that while the couple create amazing food that they have no idea how to run a restaurant. In front of the hobbled together kitchen are a few tables and seats facing the windows. When we arrived the place was packed and sadly there was always a scramble for seats when someone finished and left. You place your order at the counter and then wait for it to be finished. The food when done, which features a selection of East Indian dishes, curries, Thali and a selection of Dhosas, was delicious. They are attentive to dietary restrictions offering vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Sadly, the scramble for seats and the ad hoc method of ordering creates a dining experience that is less than pleasant. We ate with people standing over us waiting for us to vacate. While the couple know how to cook sadly they need some pointers on how to run a restaurant. Without attention to the details I fear the place may not last long. They really needs someone to streamline the place and give them a bit of polish, including a more professional kitchen, a better system for placing orders, better use of the space and more seating. Then I am sure they could grow and become a great success.

Just opened, (June 2014), this small Indian diner has simple homemade food.
No item costs more than $ 10 and is good value.
On the recently expanded menu are such items as: Mulligatawny soup, bowls of meat,(Lamb, Chicken), or vegetarian combinations on rice, Curry, Dosas (Indian style crepes), and salads.
(It is amusing to see the Dominoes Pizza staff from next door, coming in to buy their food here!)
Hours: 11.00am to 9.00 pm
