What 100% halal means at Evergreen Thai
Evergreen Thai’s food is 100% halal. The meat is halal and sourced from FoodsUp, the seafood is halal, and there is no pork on the menu. You do not need to ask which dishes qualify or phone ahead to find out, because the whole menu is built the same way. That is true whether you sit down at 175 Dundas St W, order takeout, have a group order delivered, or book catering for an event.
One practical note: Evergreen Thai Kitchen & Bar is also a licensed bar, so alcohol is served in the restaurant. Guests who prefer an alcohol-free setting often choose takeout, delivery, or catering, and a catered event at your own office or venue is entirely alcohol-free.

Why Thai food suits halal diners
Thai cooking is built on rice, rice noodles, coconut milk, vegetables, tofu, herbs, chili, lime, and tamarind, with chicken, beef, and seafood as the proteins. With the meat halal and the pork removed, most of the menu follows naturally. Coconut-milk curries, rice-noodle dishes, and wok stir-fries are also the dishes that travel and share best, which matters when a group is ordering for a table or a counter.
The seafood-based sauces that give Thai food its character, fish sauce and oyster sauce, are made from seafood and are part of the halal menu. Curries are made with coconut milk, not dairy, and vegetarian and vegan versions of noodle, curry, and rice dishes are available on request.
What to order
The menu works in a few natural groups:
Noodles and rice. Pad Thai, Vegetable Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Drunken Noodles, Pineapple Fried Rice, Vegetable Fried Rice. Pad Thai is the safest crowd-pleaser for a mixed table.
Curries. Green Curry, Red Curry, Massaman Curry, Panang Curry, Mixed Vegetable Curry, all with coconut milk. Massaman and Panang contain peanuts.
Wok dishes. Basil Stir Fry, Cashew Chicken, Tofu Basil.
Starters and soups. Spring Rolls, Golden Tofu, Chicken Satay, Crispy Calamari, Tom Yum, Tom Kha, and Mango Salad.
A balanced table for four is one noodle dish, one curry, one wok dish, jasmine rice, and a starter to share. For a group of ten, add a second curry and a vegetarian main so there is a full plate for every guest. The mixed dietary preferences guide has the ratios for larger groups.
Halal Thai catering for offices and events
Because the whole menu is halal, catering needs no special setup. Offices, student associations, community organizations, hospitals, and families order Thai trays for 10 to 500+ guests and the kitchen at 175 Dundas St W handles the rest. Direct delivery is included on orders over CAD 200 within 5 km, which covers the Financial District, Union Station, City Hall, TMU, UofT, and most downtown condos.
The halal catering page covers sample menus, lead times, and delivery. For workplace lunches, the halal office catering guide walks through headcount, labelling, and timing, and the group orders page is the fastest path when the meal is shared and the guest count is rising.

The guide to halal Chinese vegetarian food in Toronto covers what to order.
Ramadan, iftar, and Eid
Many groups plan iftar and Eid meals around a shared Thai spread because everything is halal and the dishes are made to share. Three planning rules help:
- Give the kitchen the sunset time and let it work backwards, aiming for delivery 20 to 30 minutes before iftar.
- Book 5 to 7 days ahead, and earlier for 30 or more guests in the second half of Ramadan.
- Add 15 to 20 minutes for elevator and lobby access in downtown towers.
Ramadan dates move each year, so check an official Islamic calendar or a local mosque for the current schedule. The group dinner planning guide has a fuller iftar section.
