If you’re a foodie this is it! Very friendly owner . Very down to earth and calm … nothing is too much for his customers . I hope your restaurant gets the credit it deserves and I hope you stay open forever … I mainly like the unique fresh ingredients and blends of Sri Lankan spices .

The food here is super fresh and absolutely delicious - in my opinion, it’s far superior to other Sri Lankan restaurants in the area. The staff here are very friendly and hospitable. Service was prompt and the food was served quickly from an open kitchen. Nuwan is a brilliant chef and a great asset to the restaurant. We’ll definitely come again. Thank you very much!

Delicious authentic Sri Lankan food and run by a lovely man called Sam who introduced himself. Dishes are fairly small but great to get a selection and share. To have proper Hopper outside of sri lanka was a real treat. A little pricey if wanting a selection of dishes to share, but worth it. But there is also Lamprias which is a combo dish for one. I will be ordering for my next take-away! Highly recommend
