The menu may be simple, but it offers a diverse selection, especially for vegetarians and vegans. The food was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. While it shares some similarities with Indian cuisine, it is distinctively unique and enjoyable, especially when paired with fluffy rice. A word of caution: the Roti served here is not vegan, but they do offer a vegan lassi as an option. I opted for water, which was clearly filtered and not just tap water. However, the service left something to be desired. We waited quite a while for someone to take our order, even though the restaurant was empty. Unfortunately, our server didn't return during our meal, and we had to seek out someone to get...
Fantastic food! My mutton curry was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. The sauce was just right, perfectly suited to my mild palate. The lentil daal was equally delightful, and the avocado water was refreshing. I appreciate the nice balance between vegetarian/vegan options and meat dishes, which is great for our mixed family. The prices were reasonable too. The owners were very accommodating and patient, especially since our group arrived in two separate waves about 10-15 minutes apart, and they didn’t mind that the kids were sharing from their parents' plates. Overall, excellent food, lovely owners, and a spotless restaurant!
Food and service was excellent. Must try it if you want to eat healthy and have a nice atmosphere. The place was very clean and inviting. Empty for a Friday night. I think it's because nobody really knows it's there. We had been looking for it and drove past it many times. Definitely going back.
The owners are consistently friendly. We shared two veggie combos ($15 each) and a chicken tikka with glass noodles and lentils among three of us. Wow, the meal was not only incredibly delicious but also very filling! Let’s support wonderful local family businesses like this one! Book a table now
I love this place! The food is varied and very tasty. South Asia, similar to Indian with a spin. Ideal for vegans and carnivores. The atmosphere is casual, although I generally take it out. The 2 people who lead the place are very friendly so the entire experience is great.
Excellently prepared and delicious Sri Lankan food. It was a unique dining experience for me. They do seem understaffed. I saw one table go uncleaned for hours with the last party's leftover food on it. I would definitely reccommend checking it out.
Delicious food and super friendly owners. I feel like home! I loved the okra court and lentil dal. My family loved the shrimp curry and tikka masala with noodles. It was a special treat!
