Customer Reviews
We went at noon on a weekday and fortunately had reservations since most tables were taken. The restaurant was fairly small and the cuisine is Sri Lankan and we tried the podi dosa, egg hoppers and the string hoppers with the jackfruit curry, sambar, pork curry and the aubergine dish. For drinks we had the salted buttermilk and the shot of litchi arrack. The food was overall flavorsome and my one grouse is that accompaniments to the dosa and hoppers eg. sambar and curries have to be separately ordered. This is in contrast to South Indian restaurants where these are given along with the dish. Also portion sizes for some of the dishes viz. the aubergine vegetable were tiny. It was our anniversary and the restaurant generously provided a chocolate cake which was kind of them.
Nice little place in central London. Nice and tasty food. Ordered the bone marrow and egg hopper, both are really nice. The day special is very special and worth trying. So definitely ask for the special before ordering! Just be aware that some dishes are a bit spicy🌶️.
Food was just about OK. Service was OK but given the noise level I struggled to hear the waiter. Unfortunately the front door was being repaired so there was a cold wind blowing through the restaurant. And at first they refused to accept legal tender (i.e. real money) and lied that it was a condition clearly stated in the booking - when I checked, it wasn't! So, reluctantly and with a great deal of fuss, they accepted payment for the food and drinks in legal tender.
Very good food with excellent service from the staff. We started with the mutton rolls and Devilled Paneer both of which were excellent. For our mains we had the masala dosa which again was terrific. Overall a great dining experience and a restaurant we will surely revisit
