Customer Reviews

“This was our fourth visit to Sigiriya, and the best yet. The service and food was exceptional. Friendly waiters, everything was kept clean, the service from beginning to end ran smoothly and efficiently, and the food was utterly delicious. The digestiv drinks on the house at the end sealed this as our best visit!”

Customer Reviews

“I had missed Sri Lankan food very much and found this restaurant was near by. I got takeaway but looking in the restaurant it was beautifully decorated! Got home the food was still hot and it was delicious. The portions were large which is great for sharing but too much for little me (I ate the rest the next day 🙂 ). Just the flavours and spices I was missing! Would eat from there again and plan to visit!”

Curry House Report

“Very comfortable restaurant with a difference in that it is a Sri Lankan restaurant. The difficulty is choosing from the extensive menu. We choose a Ceylon Chicken, A Karachi Chicken, Pilau Rice, and one of the best Peshwari Naans I think I’ve ever had. The staff here are very accommodating and happy to help. The food is absolutely brilliant.
