8/10Food was tasty. Had goat and fish curries with rice and bread. Food came before the beer which was unusual. Lunch deal is advertised on the website but not available so cost double expected amount. Overall good.

6/10Good curry, the portions were very very small, and the rice were a bit poor, (not basmati), and the food a bit lukewarm, overall felt a bit over priced

10/10Delicious food! Will definitely return to try more dishes! Had the bitter gourd salad, herby rice and shell on prawns. I only nipped it from the hotel nearby for a quick bite but ended up with a memorable meal.

6.5/10
Had left a note on my reservation, but was of no use. Service wasnt great and I really didnt want to pay the service charge. Food is good, very small portion though. And is pretty expensive considering the ambience and portion size

8.5/10Superb food. Original, great working of flavours. Menu one of those where you feel you want to order everything, and wouldn't be unhappy with whatever arrived. Will be going back.

5.5/10
The staff and kitchen seemed very overwhelmed by the amount of customers they had. We had to wait over 30 min for drinks to be served and another half an hour before we could eat. The pork based food and beans were very delicious but our chicken dish and the rice were a little bland. Our drink order was messed up as well and we were served luke warm table water. Sketchy toilets. Overall I think the restaurant has lots of potential and we got unlucky and visited on an unusually busy day, but I still would not return.

10/10This is the best Sri Lankan food I've had in London. Every dish was a delight. We enjoyed sprats and lentil cakes to start, goat, squid and pork for mains, the sauce that came with the squid was amazing. We even enjoyed a ceylon cocktail too. The staff were friendly too. Just need to update their website as I'd think they'd be even busier.. Great location near Exmouth market

6/10Disappointed. Service good. 250 ml glass of wine underfilled, when I pointed it out it was brushed away. I ordered 3 starters no mains, they were precooked and served immediately.

9/10Food was really delicious and reasonably priced. I thought everything was tasty and not too spicy for western palates. I am not an expert but it appeared to be very authentic.
