    This all you can eat buffet seemed like a great way to try a little of everything. With a friendly greeting, staff explained everything to us and let us choose our table. We ordered the egg hopper and while it was being made, sampled the delicious chutneys on offer with pappadums. From the buffet, we spooned a little of everything onto our plates. The distinctive and powerful flavours soon had the tastebuds dancing. The dhal and cashew curry were outstanding but the chicken and beef were a touch dry for my liking, albeit with amazing spices. They don't take bookings so we just had to try our luck. At 7pm on a Friday night the place was bustling. The recent price increase to $28 with hopper is still reasonable value for what we get. Overall, a really good experience.

    It’s a good deal for 20 dollars. In my opinion, the food was okay. Their veg dishes are tastier than the meat dishes. I felt the meat lacked flavour and salt, but that’s my opinion. Their egg fried rice is the best - cooked to the same perfection every single time I have tried. Overall, if you want a homely warm meal on a cold day this is your place.

    All you can eat Sri Lankan cuisine. Mainly rice (saffron or fried rice, noodles) curries, meats (chicken and lamb), egg and vegetable dishes. Great flavours that go well with the deep fried poppadoms. Be gentle on the crushed chilli otherwise you may have sore tummy.

    Never knew it was super good food until I visited! I initially walked past this restaurant many times while on Sydney Road. Definitely recommended if you're craving for Sri Lankan cuisine. All you can eat for $23 on weekdays with quite a lot of dish options! Never walked out hungry. I love the eggplant dishes and condiments xxx

    Warm and friendly staff, a delicious array of Sri Lankan food to try and the hot spice was mainly found in the side accompaniments. The dhal, eggplant, chicken curry, malung and hoppers were some of the standouts! The live entertainment was a bonus for the evening too @ $25 per head for all you can eat, you will struggle to find better in the area

    Friendly and homely service, helpful and attentive to customer needs. The buffet was split on two extremes. The chicken curry, devilled eggs, beans, hoppers were spot on. The kothu, beef curry, rice noodles and chicken tandoori didn't meet the mark. The condiments were delicious. Ambience was loud and lighting was dull. Visited on Saturday night for live music, could have been better.

    Love this place! So many vegetarian options as well. I’m usually not a fan of buffets but this one is definitely an exception!
