Dined here 4 times now and absolutely love it. These are some of the best curries I’ve eaten and the quality of food and flavours are amazing. My partner and I think about this place at least once a month and I have enjoyed working my way through the menu. Staff are excellent, service is excellent, space is cozy but sociable. 10/10. We look forward to being back next week :)

Found sharp plastic in our food. Asked for hot and spicy but it wasn't. Food served lukewarm. Was constantly asked if we wanted to keep the same dinnerware rather than refreshing it. Whilst the Manager was friendly he didn't really care about the plastic. Saw other diners having to get up to ask for more drinks. Had high expectations based on the reviews as we love Sri Lankan food. It looked nice on the plate but didn't live up to what we hoped for. The inch long piece of plastic was the nail in the coffin and for that, we cannot recommend and won't return.
