    I missed their food so much, i am so glad they opened again! Tried their Fried chicken Kothu Roti, it was very delicious. Can't wait till they have their buffets again. Best Sri Lankan food in town!!

    Made it just in time for their lunch buffet, which was only $7/8! I don't imagine this place getting large enough crowds to keep it constantly fresh especially at around 3, so pakora was a little soggy. But with that said, fresh samosas did come out, and it was delicious! Their plain white rice was really well made too. Overall I enjoyed the meal. The buffet doesn't have much variety, but once again, it's cheap for what it is, and the taste of what you do get is great! Some things to be aware of, no public restroom inside the restaurant, there's plenty of parking, and it's a little small inside.

    What a great experience! The people are friendly if you have never had Sri Lankan food you must try it. My favorites are string hoppers and kotu rotie. I think it's Friday night all you can eat hoppers and it's such a fun place to be.

    Genuinely delicious Sri Lankan food I've ever had. Felt just like home. Really appreciate the help that they do by providing Sri Lankan food to the community. 5 stars all the way from the bottom of my heart.

    If you are looking for authentic Sri Lankan food, this is the place. I love the aesthetic of the new place; it is very homey. Owners are very nice, and the pricing is good, especially with the large portions. Highly recommend!!

    Great food and friendly people. We had Godamba Rotti, Egg Rotti and Kotthu. Two of my guest from Sri Lanka told they are much better than what they can find in Sri Lanka. Keep the same quality and taste. Good luck!

    Very delicious and spicy flavors, that reminds me of Indian and Thai food. I enjoyed the Egg Roti and Beef Rolls. Will definitely return. πŸ™‚

    Waiting time was more than 2 hours. We missed our lunch and half of the day was wasted as we were having our holidays in LA. They didn't have a menu. One fish lunch packet cost around $20. One lunch packet is enough for two adults and it's super spicy. Not only Kids, we all had a nightmare. The girl in the front desk is nice but not professional. We didn’t tip because of the worst customer service. We recommend kurrypinch if anyone is looking for good authentic Sri Lankan food and professional customer service.

    Tastiest food in the Valley! The Friday night hopper buffet with chicken curry, lentils etc. is unbeatable and the lunch buffet is excellent value. The beef rolls, patties and samosas are great too but they sell out quickly. Only downside is that they are in a quiet corner of the Valley and hard to find. At least the parking is easy. Best Mom n' Pop place in L.A!

    I really like the food here especially the Friday night Hopper Buffet and the fried rice (my favorites). The prices for items are very affordable and the food tastes really good. The biryani packages you had made this Friday was very tasty. Yum!!! I'm still waiting for you to restart the Sunday lunch buffet with the rice and curry. I hope you bring it back soon.
