A truly enjoyable meal. The decor, service, food, and atmosphere were wonderful. The waiter patiently explained unfamiliar items on the menu and gave suggestions to help build our meal. We were given options on levels of spiciness (heat) in our dishes; we opted for the 'authentic' level which was very spicy and had us sweating but everything was delicious. Food was not at all oily, packed full of flavour but balanced and not overwhelming.
There is a good choice of vegetarian options. The jackfruit curry was very good.
We also had the chicken curry, hoppers, potato and spinach, roti, paratha, and saffron rice. On reflection we probably ordered too many carbs and I would have omitted the roti. Finished with the honey pineapple and ice cream which was so lovely.
Definitely coming back again soon to try more of the menu. The kottu looks fantastic.
This is a fantastic restaurant. I had a delicious meal and I highly recommend it. The staff are friendly and very professional. Our waiter suggested the jack fruit curry, which was absolutely delicious. Everything is freshly cooked and very flavoursome. The restaurant is clean and the staff care about their service and take pride in the quality of their food. Give it a go.
The food was tasty / delicious especially the Devilled Mutton + the hoppers were nice and crisp.
The hoppers, despite being authentic, are however way too crispy - it needs to be slightly more thicker. For £2.75/hopper, this is massively overpriced given how crisp and light it is.
We were also disappointed by:
- the long waiting time (took 35mins for starters - okra fries and jackfruit rolls should definitely not take that long). It was frustrating to see that we had to wait so long for the food while there were endless number of delivery drivers coming in and out to pick up takeaway orders. The restaurant needs to prioritise in-dining customers and limit orders on delivery apps when the restaurant is at capacity.
- portion sizes were quite small for the price being charged across the menu.
I was torn between giving this 3 or 4 stars, but giving 4 stars as the quality and taste of the food overall was good.
It was So great. Food was excellent. Staff was very friendly. We ordered a Mutton koththu, pork black curry and egg rice. WONDERFUL. I came for a vacation from Sri Lanka. The food tasted better than in Sri Lanka. We really enjoyed. And will definitely go back for a meal.
Thank you. සුපිරි කෑම. අනිවා එනවා ආයිත් කන්න. 👌🏾🇬🇧
As a born (but not bred) Sri Lankan I think this is the best Sri Lankan food I've had in the UK, much better than stinky Hoppers (which sucks btw all you enablers!). The hoppers here are delicious, crispy and light with a hint of sour just like home and the curries to dip your hoppers in to are soooo good!! Equally the kotthu is great and again doused with any one of the curries is a class combo. Both are must cop here.
