Restaurant Sri lankan restaurant

👍 I bought Chicken Biriyani (480/-) & Special Mixed Noodles (680/-) as mains. Chicken Biriyani / chicken leg was yummy. I expected Basmathi rice, it came with normal samba rice. Taste was okay. Special Mixed Noodles Was a good portion. Good but not good enough as expected. Milk Teas were good. No A/C.... People often mention good, foods, Good, rice, Jaffna, service, tasty, Chicken,

    The foods seems really good! But, The staff's never smile or welcome their customers. The Porton of the foods are very small, the service quality utter worst. They need proper training like how to treat customers.

  • 3/5 yathev b. 3 years ago on Google • 361 reviews
    The food was good. Tasty and the amount is enough for two people. There is plenty of chicken pieces. The price is unreasonable, because the service isn’t that good. They don’t take much time and the staff are quick, and stand close by in case you need anything. The sink they have outside doesn’t have a disinfectant soap or sanitizer. Even the sink they have inside their restaurant has the same issue with the hand wash liquid being diluted with water. The hand washing place wasn’t maintained cleanly. There’s no parking spot and got to leave your vehicle along marine drive. Impressed by the food. Disappointed by the hygiene practices especially after COVID-19.

    Nice place to have some authentic Jaffna good. Reasonable prices and good portions. You can have your food in house or you can have take away. The food is really spicy and teasty. They have private dining rooms and it will be 10% more on the price. Staff is good and they are helpful. You can park your vehicles on the road side.

    The food was delicious. Mutton thali and prawns thali were good in taste. It was a very nice experience. But the negative about the place is, the washroom facility was not at all good. So that's what I'm reducing the star points. But otherwise the food and drink is superb.

  • 3/5 Janith H. 5 years ago on Google • 388 reviews
    Ordered food through UberEats. Our order included Pittu chicken kottu, String hoppers chicken kottu, Fish poriyal. Pittu kottu was good. But for me it was bit too spicy and hot. String hopper kottu was good, but tasted some smoky flavor. Fish poriyal was very good and can recommend.

    Great Jaffna style food. There was a chef special they had when we visit which coconut shell biriyani. That was awesome flavor. Their rice and curry has unique Jaffna style taste. Try the Yaal odiyal kool

  • 5/5 Archchana K. 4 years ago on Google • 70 reviews
    It's an Jaffna Style Restaurant with a sea view. I had tasted Chicken Fried Rice and Devilled Chicken. Chicken Fried Rice was so tasty and Devilled Chicken was not so much tastier than the other restaurants. It was really a good place to dine in. Service was good.

  • 4/5 Kourosh G. 4 years ago on Google • 65 reviews
    Overal very tasty Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 food from Jaffna with reasonable prices. However, the food is a little too salty. As a suggestion, please use less salt. Why? Because excess salt leads to high blood pressure and diabetes.

  • 1/5 Ahamed R. 3 years ago on Google • 3 reviews
    The worst food ever! They take so long to serve the food after ordering but sadly food was served cold. Also we ordered crab curry & it tasted so bad & not fresh, like some old crab meat reheated. I will never recommend this place.

    500ml water bottle Rs.35 (2020/10/06)

  • 4/5 akila f. 3 years ago on Google
    Biriyani was made with lot of quality spices. Lots of coriander were in it.Different flavor unlike indian or pakistani biriyani. Price was okay but the portion is compared to low with other places in colombo. They will not give any extra rice. If you feel that you need more rice. The only option you have is to order a new whole biriyani again.

  • 4/5 Husni M. 3 years ago on Google
    Slightly overpriced, but the service was great. The food was tasty.

    Good Jaffna style food and good portions. Much recommended. But customer service could be improved more.

  • 4/5 Kalana de S. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food & quantity is also good. Only drawback is they dont have parking. If you are parking in front of the restaurant you will be blocking 1 lane of Marine Drive, which is not acceptable
