    My friends and I recently visited KOCHCHI in Edinburgh, excited to introduce them to the flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine for the first time. Unfortunately, our experience fell short of my expectations, leaving us rather disappointed. One of the main concerns we had was the portion sizes of the dishes compared to the price we paid. Three of us ordered 2 Chicken Kothu £10+ each, 1 Pork Kothu £12+ each and 2 Godhamba Rottie potion £6+ each. We found the portions to be quite small, which left us feeling hungry even after our meal. Disappointed by the lack of authenticity in the Sri Lankan dishes. The food failed to capture the true essence and flavors. The godhamba rottie, a popular Sri Lankan street food, was more like a heated frozen Paratha, lacking the distinctive taste and texture of a godhamba rottie. The curry sauce accompanying the Kothu dishes also lacked the authentic Sri Lankan flavors, it is more like a curry sauce served at a chippy. While the experience at Bonnie & Wild, James Quarter was pleasant in terms of ambiance. Had high hopes for an authentic Sri Lankan meal but were very disappointed in terms of taste, portion sizes, and true representation of the cuisine. I believe it is important to maintain the integrity of traditional flavors to provide a truly satisfying experience for customers.

    I had high expectations for this place, and it was the biggest disappointment during my visit to Edinburgh 😔 I thought I could find their new flavors, but it didn’t happened. The food was only average. The yellow sauce looked good but the taste was insipid. This place promises a lot but fails to deliver. The taste of the dishes is like baby food, for adults it could have more flavor.

    I had the black pork curry bowl and a side. Mouthwateringly melting pork, just spicy enough. And fully caramelized onions, with the dosa bowl. Hit the spot for me.
