2 months agoI really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was definitely amazing. I tried the CRACKERS & DIP, Cutlet, the Crab curry, and Kothu. There were so many choices for drinks, and I can't forget the appam for dessert. It's a fusion of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine with a mix of cultures.

a month agoCame here with high expectations of a mind blowing experience for sri Lankan food.When we arrived the place was half full and we were seated at the last table near the toilet which in my honest view the worst table ever! Seriously WHO wants to sit beside a toilet door? You should just remove that table as it ruins the good first impression for guest. The lighting was so dark and dim and because they using spotlights it makes the place feels warm. The print on the menu is so ridiculously small and hard to read especially in the dark lighting. Waiter took 20 minutes to take our order and hardly explained much of the dishes we asked. He just gives short answers when i ask him about how some dish differs with each cooking style. The food took almost 45 minutes to come.We ordered mutton bone in varuval which was tough. Beetroot curry was ok. Crab meat jaffna style was alright as the crabs were sweet and moist. Dishes were kind of cold. Gotukola salad was too sour Masala tea was so bland and flat it wasn't even fragrant with spices or ginger at all . Drinks nothing to shout about.Most dishes came out a little bit cold. Overall paid rm400 + but my guest left looking a bit underwhelmed and didn't talk much good things about the food or the place. Service just not so efficient. Maybe better to spend the money elsewhere. Such a shame though.

2 months agoThe food here is good. The best for me was the papadam with chili. The mint flavoured chili was great. The sweet apam was sweet which is good to end your meal with. The varuval was ordinary. But the dhal and the lankan crab was tasty and good. Thick dhal which was flavourful. Service is amazing with attentive staff and food was serve pretty quick as well.

a month agoOverrated. Average home cooking Sri Lankan food marketed as high class food. Disappointing. I've eaten better. Their chicken curry was hard and set despite being in a curry. My friend complained and they gracefully suggested replacing it for us. We turned their offer down and later they took the dish off the bill. Their Gotu Kola salad was up to standard and I enjoyed the Bittergourd curry because it was bitter enough. In general their food was average.
