Heard about this one open up in scarlanka recently, havent had a chance to visit. I was in scarborough last weekend to meet up with some old work buddies but ended up going to Lin Garden anyway (mullah ki daur masjid tak).
Anybody tried this place yet?

scarlanka?
scarlanka?
guess he means scarborough... though, there's no difference between these "cities" all the same TDOT.
Re: New Restaurant - Desi Cheena (Scarborough)
whaaat? its seriously called "desi cheena"????
that's pretty offensive. i've never heard someone use the word "cheena" positively.
on a side note, scarlanka? that's a new one. its usually scarberia (siberia, cos its so far from downtown, geddit?)
Re: New Restaurant - Desi Cheena (Scarborough)
Cheena word is used commonly in East Asian countries to call chinese people and it is not used offensively.
Re: New Restaurant - Desi Cheena (Scarborough)
like i said, i've never heard it in any context other than offensive so yeah, i'll take your word for it.
Re: New Restaurant - Desi Cheena (Scarborough)
I thought the same thing as SGC!!
haven't tried it yet...but i'm desparately looking for a decent good halal chinese place in the east end...will check this one out for sure...thanks cheegs!
Re: New Restaurant - Desi Cheena (Scarborough)
I just realized it doesn't say anywhere that they serve halal food, or maybe i missed the signage. Anyway just went to their website, didnt see it anywhere so i called them @ 416-293-8882.
A friendly chinese sounding lady picked up the phone. I asked her if they served halal food and she said yes they do. I asked if its all their food or just select items and she said its all their food. I don't see any signage on their website and unable to find any halal signs in the picture of their front door.
DM do you want to check that out next time you're there?
Re: New Restaurant - Desi Cheena (Scarborough)
i checked it while passing by,yes i also didnt saw any sign in the window.and my hubby also said that they dont serve halal food:hmmm:
well this is an old thread, but i was just googling their number since i lost my fone.. and i just saw this thread here. well we're regular customers at this place. and it does certainly serve halal food. i absolutely love the service, the food (quality n quantity) both. and it's also wayyyyyyyyy better than lin garden, where the servers don't give when they come and throw a plate your way on the table (mostly right on the edge of the table). and the chicken is mostly gross with tons of fat in it .. eitherways,
For anyone who's curious to give it a shot.. I'd say go right ahead. We order from this place all the time.. or go eat in if the weather's not so bad. and the staff is just sooo nice. or well, they kinda know us now, so they chat up with us all the time and they're just extremely courteous too. i love this place! (but yeah.. weird name indeed)
