    Fine. But they eat our precious time. For example, they get more than 40 minutes to deliver an order such as soup or fried rice.

    I personally found the food here to be quite good, but my Sri Lankan friends thought it was merely mediocre due to the absence of moringa leaves in the Jaffna curries. While the prices were slightly on the higher side compared to typical Jaffna rates, it's a pleasant spot to unwind. The courtyard is quite spacious, and the clientele comprises a diverse mix of locals and tourists.

    Super Tasty Authentic Jaffna Crab curry.. Biriyani was tasty too. Lassi was not so tasty. But overall it’s a good place for your authentic jaffna dish cravings

    Good Indian and Sri Lankan food. Lots of options for vegetarians and vegans. The garden in the back is quite nice. Staff is friendly. The naan oven is right inside the garden. Great to see your naan being freshly prepared!

    🤷‍♂️Don't know how to feel about this one! They have a very large menu with lots to choose from, the interior is nice, the staff are friendly and speak english. I'm not sure how many of the items are available as I tired to order something a few times and got told it wasn't available, not a big deal for me, worth mentioning though. 😅The waiters on my first two visits were rushing and running around a lot, I don't know if they're understaffed or what the deal is! 🍚The first time I went, most of the options were not available which was fine, I just had vegetable fried rice. ✌️The second time I ordered mixed vegetable kuruma, the kolapur was not available that time. It took a long time to come, I was happy to wait, it is worth mentioning that it took about 45 mins to come. It was however, very delicious and fresh, big portion also. 🙂I came back for a third time, I think it was the vegetable kolapur this time, Im not 100% sure but it didn't take that long this time and again, was very tasty, fresh and a good sized portion. I asked for it to be cooked without butter as I follow a vegan diet, just be sure to ask for the same and without paneer as my dish came with it. 💰The price is fair for the quality of food too. A mixed review :)

    Food is edible. But we didn’t get value for the money. Prices are very high. Taking so much of time to prepare. I will not try them again

  • 5/5 Rukku p. 1 year ago on Google
    My taste buds are definitely satisfied after long time. First n foremost I'm starting from the person who took our order , friendly n funny 😊. Kept his word n called us within 35 min. Got butter Naan, prawn curry ( I requested Extra gravy) n chettinad panner. The prawn curry was out of the world. Best curry we had in years. This is our first time trying Cosy. Nailed it.

    It's insane how many dishes and drinks are on the menu. The food was delicious and I wish I had time to try more options.

  • 1/5 roshan de s. 1 year ago on Google
    The very bad experience in Jaffna. The food has no taste. Portions are not enough even for one person. Prices are high tho its not much worth. Not recommended.

  • 4/5 Thananjayan A. 10 months ago on Google

    Nasi Goreng is the best out of there. Delicious food

  • 4/5 Jakappratha P. 6 months ago on Google
    Ordered chicken+egg soup and a chicken fried rice. Taste was good and the interior was welcoming. Prices were affordable but comparatively higher than other restaurants in jaffna with respect to quantity. One issue to be noted is the long waiting time!

  • 4/5 Charee P. 5 months ago on Google

  • 2/5 D M. 2 years ago on Google
    Showed less cleanliness. Restaurant is dirtier than google photos. Most of the staff were not wearing fask masks properly. High sugar in orange juice. Chicken tasted bad in biriyani. Probably they had used expired oil. Not worth for the price

  • 4/5 Jeyasegar T. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Viplan O. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the worst ever place to have meal . Food are not up to the standard and dirty place and no friendly staff

  • 4/5 Christy R. 2 years ago on Google
    As the name suggests, it is a cozy place to hangout with friends and mostly families visit there for a variety of Indian and Western food/dishes. Consists of two portions where the at the immediate entrance is a waiting room and a good looking place to dine in. When followed in further, an open space for people to enjoy drink and smoke surrounded by arts painted on the walls and sometimes may feel like stepping into an art gallery. Good food which enlightens the taste buds but could be considered as not worth for the price since the portion served is not satisfying for the price paid. I may rate it with 3.5 starts if there is an option since the serving is really slow and had to spend around a full hour to get the food ordered. Customer service is not satisfactory but they do charge am additional LKR 90.00 on the final bill placed.

  • 5/5 Dilendra R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and the jaffna crab curry was reasonable for the price. Taste was also great and the place is way bigger than expected from the outside. Overall great food and nice experience.

  • 3/5 Kithsiri P. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the place to enjoy "crab curry" at the best in this area. However you need to be there bit early in daytime to get your requirement fulfilled since heavy demand. Reasonable rate and courteous service.

  • 3/5 Jude Janitha N. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was quite good, reasonably priced but the plain tea was very bad; no flavour at all. Also there was a layer of oil on top of it. Staff service is OKAY but not friendly though! We ordered a Malaysian Traditional Mongolian rice, which is good (came with a mixture of meats), a Chinese sea food rice which is okay but the noodles dish was not tasty at all.

  • 4/5 Adrian C. 1 year ago on Google
    For a good selection of Jaffna specialities and Indian cuisine.

  • 2/5 Kirubarajah K. 1 year ago on Google
    Not properly cleaned and organized premises. Waiters and staff were not friendly.

  • 3/5 Danuta M. 2 years ago on Google
    I waited for an hour. People who came way later got the food faster than me. I ordered jaffna mutton and after such a long waiting i got meat that was very hard and i couldn't eat it. I suggest you put an information that it takes 2 h or more to cook or prepare it in advance... I am not a cook and i have no idea how much time it takes to prepare mutton. I am very grateful for a discount for this situation.

  • 5/5 Patricia M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was truly delicious. I had paneer masala and cook/waiter was kind enough to listen to me re amount of spices so it was perfect. I have found this quite rare in other restaurants. My friends had excellent spicy sea food soup and excellent mutton curry..and on another occasion Nasi Gorang which they loved. I particularly liked the freshly made varieties of Naan breads..all in all wonderful food. The service was great we had a friendly very professional waiter. A little slow but that was OK..

  • 4/5 Alexander R. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in Jaffna. Huge number of dishes. Also take away. The wait is pretty long. Must be patient

  • 1/5 Jason J. S. 2 years ago on Google
    I was waiting for the waiter to come and take the order for 45mins. I have go to the reception and demand. They were lousy and not willing to offer any courtesy to the customer waiting to get service. Poor, unclean and unpleasant waiters. Horrible

  • 5/5 Buddhika W. 1 year ago on Google
    There's nothing cosy about this place BUT the food is delicious and the service is good. They allow BYOB. Their curries are delicious. Located adjacent to the Sri Lankan Airlines office.
