    This was our first sri Lankan food experience, me and my parter are both VEGAN and this place had been recommended to us, as they know the difference between vegan and vegetarian. And it did not disappoint. The potatoe dosa we had was incredible, all the little sauces had so much flavour, I wanted to go back again. And the price is so cheap. I would highly recommend.

    Bargain! Local breakfast, amazing jalebi and other Sri Lankan treats. You won’t spend more than 200 rupees for a couple pastries and a drink.

  • 5/5 Priyan P. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best place I know for Indian food. At the moment I started to write this review my wife was speaking nostalgia with her sister who lives in the USA, how tremendous the Ala Bonda and chutney are at this place, and how great to have a sweet milk tea soon after eating. Now all of us are craving to eat from here soon again.

    Reasonable cafe. Quick service. Authentic tamil taste.

  • 3/5 Janice C. 2 years ago on Google
    This star old timer used to be such a hit in its hey days, but sadly not any more, although they do offer a smaller variety of the usual South Indian snacks. Can never forget the justice they did to the simple Ulundu Vada which made us in the days gone by to always make a stop. Well lets just pin the blame on the pandemic

    Great place for having some vegetarian food. The foods are tasty and priced very attractively. The service is also really good. The milk tea and milk coffee is very good, and I can recommend it for others. One issue I found was the lack of parking, since this the only medium sized vegetarian food restaurant in kollupitiya the issue can be waived off as for me. Anyway be mindful of parking problems, but you can always park in other roadside parking slots nearby. The shop is also open on some poya-days which is very convenient. Overall a good place for vegetarians and Tamil people who like tasty vegetarian foods.

    Cheap and delicious roadside restaurant, no frills. All vegetarian as far as I could see, Masala Dosa was amazing.

  • 5/5 Hemkalyan P. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is a superb find. When you are on Galle road, atleast one time visit this cafe.very simple ,basic, sumptuous,clean local food. Variety of dishes,depending on what time of the day you visit .in spite of so much of modernization around, you will enjoy the simplicity .The cafe gives you a feel of the bygone era. I am sure after indulging in tummy full food here, you will walk out, happy and content.

    Best South Indian Vegetarian restaurant/Cafe near Kollupitiya. Recommended to all the vegetarians

  • 5/5 Udesh D. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to have Indian vegetarian food. Food is of great quality, and reasonable pricing. Visiting during lunch time is recommended if you are around the vicinity. For a price of just Rs. 270/- you can eat as much as you like, as they re-serve you based on your requirement for the same price.

  • 4/5 Iroshan R. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best places around to have a vegetarian meal. Not a fancy place the hangout but you could enjoy a good meal there. Service is also good. Prices are moderate and very reasonable. Ghee masala dosai and Bonda is my preferred meal there. Prices are shown in a board so you can have an idea before ordering.

  • 3/5 Madharudeen M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the very old vegetarian restaurant that's surviving today. I remember dining here in the 80's. They had plenty of time to improve when comparing with their nrw rivals. I love the Dosai with sambar and bonda. Here prices seems to be par or above with other vegetarian restaurants. Their tastes have dropped by far.

    Good South Indian food at reasonable price. It's basic eatery (bus stop type) and should not be expect cosy atmosphere. You may need to share table with other.
