About Ghareeb Nawaz
Ghareeb Nawaz is a long-running South Asian halal restaurant in a Danforth Road plaza in Scarborough, with some visitors going back more than twenty years. Chicken dum biryani, including a boneless version, is the main draw, alongside chicken karahi, chicken boti and chapli kabab paratha rolls, and paye. Masala chai brewed by hand, samosas, lassi, faluda and rasmalai round out the menu. It is a small counter-service spot that also handles takeout and party orders.
