Upon entering this Sri Lankan culinary haven, diners are instantly enveloped in an atmosphere that evokes an exotic hideaway, with its interior design akin to a grand bamboo hut adorned with traditional Sri Lankan demon motifs. The vibrant yet harmonious decor complements a menu that celebrates the rich tapestry of Sri Lankan cuisine. Guests have the opportunity to sample an array of dishes like the mouthwatering egg hoppers and fearlessly spicy fish curry, both perfect expressions of the establishment's culinary ethos. A varied menu brims with curries inclusive of vegetarian options such as jackfruit curry and the intriguing cashew curry accompanied by aromatic string hoppers and coconut sambal. On the drinks front, the menu is promisingly extensive, featuring tropical-infused cocktails like "Old Ceylon". Service is prompt and unobtrusive, yet staff remain ready to offer recommendations or modulate spice levels to accommodate individual palates. In all aspects, this restaurant excels at offering a robust, authentic taste of Sri Lanka complemented by a warmly inviting setting.
