Have been wanting to try both Sri Lankan food and this restaraunt for a while and a birthday was the excuse to come for the mud crab special. And the mud crab us special, we must of had a huge one because it was only just finished while we left everything else pretty untouched. The crab was delish and the sauce was perfectly spiced. All the side dishes were a compliment to the meal and lovely on their own. Will definstely be back trying a larger portion of the menu. Thx for a great night.

Excellent Sri Lankan place. Hoppers are great. Clam curry was great. Dahl was exceptional. Fish curry delightful. Pork curry was a little tough. Disappointments was the coconut drink (tasked unusual and sour ish) the elephant cocktail (strange blend of flavours). Will come back for the curries though!

Absolute gem of a place! Lip smacking Sri Lankan flavours. We had only vegetarian food but they have non vegetarian items too. Their main offering is hoppers (basket shaped or string shaped) to pair with a variety of vegetarian and non vegetarian curries. They also change around some curries from time to time (weekend banquets/weekly specials). Flavours were authentic to the T! Service was warm too. Had a great experience. Definitely going back.

We went in knowing very little about the food, we chose the banquet to sample everything and the staff is very helpful with the explanations.The hoppers are delicious and unique.The sambols and the curries took some getting used to with the unfamilier flavours and the full on level of spice (and i can tolerate spicy good), they were delicious too.Interesting food, good vibe and friendly staff. Although very different than what I expected, it was a good experience.

It was such a sensory pleasure to dine here. It’s a small restaurant hence it’s good to reserve before you go. You must visit though! We ordered hoppers , rotis of 2 kind. The mustard potato curry, white fish curry and the spicy Sambal. For dessert it was the hopper with jaggery and coconut. Everything we ate was very flavorful and the service was amazing too! Sorry I didn’t take too many pics as I was tempted to eat!

Unique Sri Lankan restaurant offering something special in the Sydney restaurant scene.The dhal, hoppers and sambal plate are must haves. And I’m obsessed with the cocktail served in the elephant cup. Service is great and the team in the kitchen looked young and dynamic.The restaurant is small so love to do a walk in lunch sitting as not as busy.

My friend and I went there for dinner few weeks ago. We had a bit of an unpleasant experience as we were forced to order more food saying their portions are tiny. We both are well accustomed with Sri Lankan cuisine, so we knew the size of our appetite and what we wanted to have. So we did not like being pressured to order what the waiting staff thought was ‘best’ for us. We found our table waiting staff to be quite hostile.In terms of food, it was nothing extraordinary for the price you pay! The hot butter cuttle fish was a hot oil mess, end of. It was hard to enjoy the dish.Coconut roti was tasty but very small. Coconut sambal was dry and lacked authentic flavour. It seemed to be a mix of desiccated and raw grated coconut. Authentically, it should be only raw grated coconut. String hoppers were delicate and it came with a decent serving of Kiri hodi. Egg hoppers batter was undercooked beneath the egg.Chicken curry for $35 was overpriced, as it came with just 3 pieces of chicken that were less than half the size of a palm. Our waiting staff pushed us to order 2 chicken curries, which we initially thought was too much. But when the dish arrived, we understood why.The decor was nice with little details relating to Sri Lankan culture and cuisine, but the food did not live up to our expectations.

Tiny but cosy restaurant. Friendly staff who will guide you through the very authentic menu, where you tick the dishes you order and mark the quantity you are ordering. Delicious food. Definitely a place to check it out and taste Shrilankan cuisine.
