This shop is recommended by one of my friend. I loved the food and service was exceptional. Tasted Authentic srilankan flavours after long time . We ordered kilangu babath mix, cuttle fish devil, seafood fried rice and dolphin koththu.Casava mix brought me back to my childhood. Fried rice and devil taste so good. Dolphin koththu is not what I expected(need some improvement). Going to try regular koththu next time.Value for Money: Reasonable prices for the quality and portion sizes provided.Casava babath mix - 11.99Dolphin koththu - 16.99Cuttle fish devil - 12.99Seafood fried rice - 14.99wattalapam - 3.50And the food presentation is so unique.

Excellent experience from quality of food to service. Everything we ordered were of very good portions and so flavorful. Cheese kottu, fried rice, egg hoppers and kizhi porata were all top tier. The hospitality made it all the more better. Will be definitely returning when in area.

The food was mind blowing. The hoppers and fried rice was so good. However mutton biriyani needs to be improved it was little blunt. The customer service was excellent.!

This place has the most fulfilling food. You’re a South Indian and missing home ? This is your place. The staff is so sweet and the food is even better. I stay far from this restaurant but make every effort to keep coming back !

I had the pleasure of trying the weekend special “Kalyana Virundhu”, and it truly lived up to its name.Every dish felt like a celebration—rich in tradition, with home-cooked authenticity that hits all the right notes on the palate. From the comforting aroma to the perfectly balanced spices, each bite brought back memories of a traditional Sri Lankan feast.What made the experience even more special was the warm hospitality of the owner, Mr. Yesu Dasan. His welcoming nature and personal attention made the dining experience feel less like a visit to a restaurant and more like a cherished meal at home.
